The Countach made its public debut at the 1971 Geneva motor show. The design of the ultra low two seater sports car took the world by surprise. Its most captivating parts were of course the scissor doors, swinging up and forward. Over the years these famous doors have become Lamborghini’s trade mark right up to the latest Murcielago.
Updated 06/06/2014: One very rare 1975 Lamborghini Countach LP400 ’Periscopica’ was sold during a recent Bonhams event for the impressive sum of $1,2 million. This is the first Countach ever to break the $1 million barrier. The model is painted in a very cool Blue Tahiti paint scheme and has only 10,252 miles.
This particular Countach is powered by a V-12 engine with an output of 375 HP and mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The model got its "Periscopica" name from the periscope mounted on the roof. (Bonhams)
