The first Countach generation was named LP 400.
The concept shown in 1971 was a huge hit and it took till 1974 before we saw the first production Countach. The Countach name came from a styling assistant who said the Piedmontese term "contacc!"-an excited term of awe-upon seeing the final concept.
In 1970, Project LP112 was the code name given to what would ultimately become the Countach. In that time it got many upgrades and improvements all the way to the final Anniversary Edition car that ran from 1988 to 1990.īelow we take an in depth look at one of the most iconic supercars ever made, the Lamborghini Countach. With a total production number of almost 2000 units, the Countach remained in high demand for nearly two decades. Equipped with scissor doors, a cab-forward layout and a powerful V12 engine, the Lamborghini Countach was produced until 1990. Designed by Marcello Gandini, this visionary blueprint was originally introduced as the design for the Lancia Stratos Zero concept Car. The Lamborghini Countach conceptualized sharp angles and sleek lines. When the Lamborghini Countach prototype was first shown at the 1971 Geneva motor show, there was a broad expression of wonder and excitement. Lamborghini wanted to build the most spectacular supercar ever made, one would be far more advanced than its time, one would bring even bigger impact than Miura did, one would become the dreamcar of every schoolboy in the following many years. Once again, designer Marcello Gandini managed to draw a fascinating, unconventional car that left everyone speechless. Sure, the Miura came first and wowed crowds, but it was the Countach that took the brand to an entire new level. The Lamborghini Countach represented the backbone of the Lamborghini legend.
