The Lamborghini Countach is both terrifying and thrilling all at once

You probably already know the bad bits. The awkward driving position, the hefty clutch, the weighty steering. You might even be under the impression that the bad bits outweigh the good bits. But they don’t. Not at all.

It all starts when you see a Lamborghini Countach in the metal. It’s still special, still shocking in its madness. It’s smaller than imagined and even more outrageous, whether it’s an early 1970s LP400, so pure yet so striking in its Marcello Gandini design, or the end of the line 1980s beast in all its wide-arch, extra-vented glory.
