Countach!

The iconic “Countach” by Lamborghini. The word—Countach! pronounced, roughly, coon-tahshe—is usually said to literally translate to “Wow!” or a word similar to that of a large fashion house – f@uk.

The Lamborghini Countach

is a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini from 1974 to 1990. It is one of the many exotic designs developed by Italian design house Bertone, which pioneered and popularized the sharply angled “Italian Wedge” shape.

The style was introduced to the public in 1970 as the Lancia Stratos Zero concept car. The first showing of the Countach prototype was at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, as the Lamborghini LP500 concept.
