This is a 1987 Countach S. When Lamborghini introduced the Countach in the mid '80's, it was heralded by the automotive world as being a "supercar ". It turned out to be the first of a class of cars that came to be known, collectively, as Supercars. . Other manufacturers jumped into the market with their interpretation of this new breed.

More posters of the Countach were hanging on the walls of car-crazy teens than you can imagine. Heck, I had one mounted on a wall in my office. The car certainly had the looks. But the looks could be deceiving. According to a friend of mine who bought one, it was a very uncomfortable car to drive for any length of time...the seats were killer bad. The vision out of the car was terrible. The overall performance of the car fell somewhat short of expectations. But it sure set fire to that emerging class of cars.
