Watch Lamborghini build a Countach Anniversary in this excellent video from 1988
As the Countach turns 50, check out archive pics and this retro assembly-line video
Funny, we just assumed there’d be lots more swearing. Especially considering how its name came about. Time to take a few leaps back in time, friends, because the Lamborghini Countach turns 50 in 2024.
To celebrate, Lamborghini has not only brought the very first Countach LP400 back to the production line from whence it came, but it has also given TopGear.com this archive video filmed in 1988 showcasing how the final 'Anniversary' car was built.
It’s… strangely peaceful. And completely devoid of any profanities. Though we can’t confirm how many skinned knuckles Lamborghini mechanics suffered during the making of this video, because the Countach was, by and large, hand-built.
Hand-built for a full 16 years, too. First revealed at the Geneva Motor Show (remember that?) in March of 1971, it was almost immediately approved for production because of the response it received.
