Lamborghini Countach Submodels
The Lamborghini Countach shocked the world at its 1971 Geneva debut. Marcello Gandini's wedge-shaped design, complete with scissor doors, became the definitive supercar shape for the next two decades. Production began with the LP400 in 1974, and the car evolved through the 1980s with wider arches, bigger wings, and more power, culminating in the 25th Anniversary edition.
Collectors prize the Countach for its outrageous styling and the wail of its V12 engine. It is the ultimate poster car, an icon of excess and performance. The earliest "Periscopio" LP400 models are the most sought-after, representing Gandini's original vision in its purest form. Later models, like the 5000 QV and 25th Anniversary, offer more power and are more numerous, making them a popular entry point.
Buying Tips
- Pay close attention to the specific model. Early LP400 "Periscopio" cars are the most valuable, while later 5000 QV and 25th Anniversary editions are more common and generally less expensive.
- A complete and documented service history from a known specialist is non-negotiable. Engine-out services for the V12 can easily exceed $25,000.
- Inspect the tubular steel spaceframe chassis for any signs of rust or accident damage. While panel gaps were never perfect from the factory, poor alignment can indicate past trauma.
- Test all electronics, which can be notoriously temperamental. Sourcing correct, original switchgear and gauges for repairs can be difficult and costly.
- US-spec cars from 1986 on feature Bosch fuel injection, which is often more reliable than the six Weber carburetors found on earlier and European-spec models, though carbureted cars are preferred by some purists.
