The Countach (in Italian, Piemonte local language, the right pronunciation is KOON-tuck, in English most commonly pronounced KOON-tash) series of Lamborghinis were among the most remarkable cars of their time. Their striking appearance, extreme performance and outrageous price tag placed this car in a class of its own. Production spanned some 16 years and 1997 cars in various forms making it a legend that was difficult for Lamborghini to top.
