Lamborghini
Countach
The Lamborghini Countach was a supercar produced by Lamborghini in Italy. The first prototype emerged in 1971, and production lasted until 1990. It did not pioneer but did popularise the
wedge-shaped, sharply angled look popular in many high performance cars
since. The word Countach (pronounced Koon-tash) is an exclamation of
astonishment in the local Piedmontese dialect - generally used by men on
seeing an extremely beautiful woman. There
is no direct translation into English. The name stuck when Nuccio Bertone, first saw
"Project 112" in his studio. The prototype was introduced to the world at the
1971 Geneva Motor Show. All previous Lamborghini names were associated with
bullfighting (Ferruccio Lamborghini being an aficionado
of the sport). In 2004, Sports
Car International named this car number three on the list of Top Sports Cars of the
1970s, and it was listed as number ten on their list of Top Sports Cars of the
1980s.
