About the 1974 Lamborghini Countach LP400

The original LP400 launched the Countach legend and remains the purest expression of Marcello Gandini's revolutionary wedge design. Those first 157 examples, built between 1974-1978, featured the cleanest lines before regulatory requirements and cooling needs added spoilers and flares. The 3.9-liter Bizzarrini-developed V12 produced 375 hp through Weber carburetors, delivering that raw, unfiltered experience that defined 1970s supercars. Gandini's Bertone masterpiece introduced the dramatic scissor doors and established the template for every Lamborghini that followed. Early cars suffered from heat and reliability issues, but their historical significance cannot be overstated. Values have exploded as collectors recognize the LP400 as ground zero for the modern supercar era. Finding an original, unmolested example has become increasingly difficult, making pristine survivors among the most coveted Lamborghinis ever built.
