With it’s radically flamboyant style, the Lamborghini Countach had a major impact on the sports car world when it was first produced in 1974 (was first introduced as a concept at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show). The trademark scissor doors were a first on the Countach and would carry through to the car’s predecessors – the Diablo, Murcielago and Aventandor. The original Countach had a 375hp V12 which got it from 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds – which seems mediocre by today’s standards, but was certainly FAST in 1974.
As if the Lamborghini Gallard wasn’t badass enough – check out the Gallardo LP 570 -4 Superleggera. With the help of carbon fiber, this stripped down Lambo is nearly 500lbs lighter than the Gallardo Spyder and packs a 560hp v10. With a curb weight just shy of 3,000lbs that translates to an awesome power to weight ratio. The Superleggera is strictly business and as a result can hit a top speed of 202mph and zip from 0-62mph in a 3.4 seconds. Not sure I’d get it in lime green though….
