I first saw the Countach at the 2010 Houston Classic Chassis. First thought was "What a piece of art. This is one of the best looking classic cars I have ever seen." The Countach has made several appearances at Houston Cars and Coffee.
The Lamborghini Countach came in four specs, with a 25 anniversary edition. The Countach LP400 came 4.0L V12 that produced 370 hp, 266 lb-ft torque, and went from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 sec, with a top speed of 177 mph. The Countach LP400S came 4.0L V12 that produced 370 hp, 266 lb-ft torque, and went from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 sec, with a top speed of 182 mph. The Countach LP500S came 5.0L V12 that produced 370 hp, 302 lb-ft torque, and went from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 sec, with a top speed of 181 mph. The Countach LP500SQV came 5.2L V12 that produced 449 hp, 369 lb-ft torque, and went from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 sec, with a top speed of 182 mph. This is a fast car, no matter what engine is in it. The body may look like it has great aerodynamics, but its body is like a brick moving through air.
Final Thought: What a work of art. It is a great looking car. It is fast and a great addition to any classic car collection. One can see the Countach design in the Lamborghini Diablo and Murcielago.
