The Lamborghini Countach was a rear mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive sports car built by Lamborghini from 1974 until 1990. Ferruccio Lamborghini wanted a successor to the Miura, and the Bertone-styled result popularised the sharply angled Italian wedge shape. The prototype was first shown at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show as the LP500 concept, whose 5.0 litre V12 was destroyed in testing and replaced by a 3.9 litre unit like the one in the production LP400, which delivered 276 kW. The engine sat longitudinally behind the cabin with the gearbox ahead of it. Later versions grew in power and gained wings and flared bodywork. The name was revived in 2021 for the hybrid Countach LPI 800-4.
