The wedge style was introduced to the public in 1970 with the Lancia Stratos Zero concept car. The first showing of the Countach prototype was at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, as the Lamborghini LP500 concept....(Read more on Wikipedia)

6.5 V12 (819 Hp) Mild Hybrid 4WD ISR Verdict:

Rating 5 stars

Performance Verdict

This powertrain is an engineering marvel, blending a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 with mild-hybrid technology to produce a staggering 819 Hp. The 2.8-second 0-100 km/h acceleration and 355 km/h top speed are testament to its extreme performance capabilities, delivered with Lamborghini's signature visceral experience.

Fuel Economy

While featuring mild-hybrid technology, its primary purpose is performance enhancement and torque fill rather than significant fuel economy improvements. Expect typical supercar fuel consumption, with the hybrid system offering marginal gains in specific driving scenarios.

👍 POSITIVE
Yeah it blows people's minds when I tell them the Countach is basically 50 years old. It still looks so futuristic. It's the only car, imo, that is both a future car and a classic car at the same time.
😐 NEUTRAL
I know the first Countach was slow, but this is just mean... Oh, you meant the years, yeah. But for real, the original Countach was slower than today's hot hatchbacks. Kind of crazy how far we've come.
😐 NEUTRAL
Wanna hear something really crazy? A Honda Civic Type R’s performance blows the original ‘74 LP 400 Countach out of the water, and has basically the same performance as the later ‘88 Countach 5000 QV. All for (in adjusted 1974 dollars) 1/10 of the price. Cars have come a long way in a fairly short timeframe.
😐 NEUTRAL
Similarly, the last countach was built in 1990, only 32 years ago
😐 NEUTRAL
It’s got everything! The Countach profile, the Testarossa air intakes, two 328’s worth of retractable headlights, huge tracts of…red leather, and exhaust ports placed high enough for a guy to stick his dick in. Lolol. For guys who want to fuck their car.
😐 NEUTRAL
My name is Giovanni Giorgio….but everyone calls me Giorgio Edit: it’s actually everybody
👍 POSITIVE
I always thought that the quad pop-up head lights were a design masterpiece. One more work of elegant overkill on the car.
😐 NEUTRAL
Zampolli said in 2018 that you could still have one produced by them. I kinda wonder how much you would have to cobble together to get one built, I'm assuming a lot of the parts would be new old stock
👎 NEGATIVE
It ended up being wildly impractical because of the cocaine you had to mix into the fuel.
👎 NEGATIVE
That has to get upwards of 2 miles per gallon.
