This legendary supercar was first introduced in 1971 and remained one of the top cars in the world all the way until production was stopped in 1990. It was known for its upward opening doors that have remained a Lamborghini trademark to this day. Lamborghini's goal for the Countach was to create a 200 MPH supercar but that goal was never attained due to the Countach's horrible drag coefficient.

Originally, a 5.0 liter engine was planned but it blew up so Lamborghini went with the more reliable 375 HP engine from the Miura. The first Countach did 0-60 in 5.6 seconds and had a top speed of 170 MPH. The next Countach was actually slower due to increased weight. The fastest countach, the 5000 QV, reached 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and had a top speed of 182 MPH. Even though Lamborghini never met its goal of 200 MPH they still created one hell of a car. Luckily, they would break the 200 MPH barrier with the Countach's sucessor, the Diablo.

    This was an early favorite of mine when I was young; the Countach is an icon.

      agreed, this car was light-years ahead of its time styling wise. Though I’ve heard they handle like crap. Regardless, I’d still love to have one.

    I know that there was a 25th anniversary version of this car. They had exclusive colors.
