The Countach: Unforgettable Icon of Lamborghini

Even though the Countach was designed in 1971, this was definitely a car that symbolised the hyper gloss of the 1980s. It had that trademark futuristic look that showed that designers at Lamborghini were thinking way ahead of what was traditionally appropriate for the time. Regardless of whether it was too outrageous or too crazy, the Countach captures the minds and hearts of buyers and the automotive community.

Despite being over 30 years old, the Countach looks just as edgy as it did when it came out. The futuristic element is also seen in the fact that it was made from a design point of view only. The car wasn’t the most practical supercar because it was extremely low to the ground and it had no visibility at the back which made it difficult for simple manoeuvres such as parking and reversing.

A new video has surfaced of a Countach owner explaining his connection to the car and why he had to have it. The owners of Lambos are just as unique and edgy as the cars themselves as you can see in the video. The magic of the Countach is that it was a groundbreaking car that Lamborghini made to prove its prowess when it came to styling.
