"Extremely beautiful women...?"

Brand: AUTOart Millennium
Model: Lamborghini Countach 5000S
Scale: 1:18
Color: Red
Pricetag (date of purchase): $125 (March 2006)
Extra info: The word countach (pronounced ˈkun.tɑʃ) is an exclamation of astonishment in the local Piedmontese language - generally used by men on seeing an extremely beautiful woman.


In 2004, Sports Car International named this car number three on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970s, and it was listed as number ten on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1980s.


The six-Weber carburetor 4,754 cc engine produced 400 bhp at 7,000 rpm. Production of the Countach series ceased in 1990.

Pirelli developed a special P7 series rear tyre for the Countach in 335-50-15 size to match the new OZ aluminum 13x15 wheels that had replaced the Campagnolo magnesium wheels used previously on the LP400S.

The Countach LP500S, or 5000S as it became known as in the US, was introduced at the 1982 Geneva Motor Show. About 321 cars were built between 1982 and 1985.
