In 1981, this Countach was featured in the movie Cannonball Run as the winner of a clandestine coast-to-coast race. It is a movie star as well as a world-famous supercar. The Countach, with its iconic 'Lambo doors,' was one of the only Lamborghini models not named for the sport of bullfighting. Dubbed the 'LP400' for the i}Longitudinale Posteriore (rear) placement of the 4.0-liter engine, it was renamed when a mechanic from Piedmont exclaimed, 'Countach!' (Outstanding!) in his native dialect, when he assessed the car.
This Countach is one of 32 models featured in the Library of Congress, deemed to be an automobile 'important to American history.' Lamborghini produced 105 of the Series 2 Countach coupes, and this example was imported to the States in 1979. It has been restored to original factory specifications, excepting three Cannonball Run movie props : fog lights, CB antenna, and 12 exhaust tips.
