The Lamborghini Countach

Lamborghini, the company founded by Feruccio Lamborghini, has already had a nice history, started building tractors and now producing supercars with a V12 engine which produces a wonderful sound. No doubt that the Countach is one of the finest pieces of work from the factory in Sant’ Agata. You can debate about the looks, but one thing is for sure, this Lamborghini is a true work of art, everything comes together in the right way. Tricky to handle, no luggage space, but a wonderful V12 howling just behind your back.

Go back in time for about 45 years. Imagine yourself living on the Italian countryside. After a hard day of work it’s time for some relaxation. You park your Lamborghini tractor in the shed. You want some distraction driving a fast car. The models of Ferrari are, in your eyes, rubbish. This means there is only one solution, just design and build your own car. This is just what Ferruccio Lamborghini did, he managed to build his own car, the Countach was the stunning result. For many this car is the icon from the 70’s. A lot of people still dream of driving one!



The guy you see in this movie is the founder of Lamborghini, he also produced and developed the Countach. It’s a shame he had to sell this project due to financial problems. Even today this car still is a true dream to own. The only problem is to find a Lamborghini Countach.

If you drive one you experience how it is like to drive a car, and not to be driven by one. The sound, the feel, the vibrations and the really bad pain in your back when you try get out of the car. This is driving like it’s meant to be. In this movie you hear about the entire history of the world famous Lamborghini Countach.



Most of you will have heart of Valentino Balboni. The testdriver for Lamborghini, he tests every single car that leaves the factory. Valentino has to test the new Lambo’s on the open road. Due to the fact that Lamborghini hasn’t got a test-track of their own, like other supercar builders like for example Ferrari.

The specs were brutal for these days, actually they are still perfect. The 5.2 litre V12, which has four valves per cylinder produces over 500 bhp, not many cars can match this amount of power.

In total one prototype has been build. 157 LP400’s, 237 LP400S’s, 321 LP500S, LP500S QV and 650 25 Anniversary’s have found their way to the open road, or can be found in the hands of collectors.
