EXPLAINED: Happy 50th birthday lamborghini countach | Vintage Vibes

  • 2024 is the 50th anniversary for the start of Lamborghini Countach production.
  • The first production 1974 Countach LP 400 went back to the factory for a special photo shoot.
  • Lamborghini released new photos from its media archives showing Countach production through the years.

Lamborghini started Countach production in March 1974, sending sleek wedge-shaped supercars down the assembly line for what would ultimately be a 16-year run. It was by no means a mass-produced vehicle—only 1,999 were built during that time. But that number belies the tremendous impact it had on the entire motoring world. And it all started with the green 1974 Countach seen here, the very first off the line.
