When it appeared in 1971, many thought it was an object from another planet. Once realised it became the most photographed car in the world.

The prototype of the Lamborghini Countach, marked LP 500 and designed by Carrozzeria Bertone, was in fact an object of extraordinary fascination and appeal, both for the futuristic stylistic approach adopted and for the mechanical one, with a powerful 12-cylinder, 5-litre displacement, mounted in a rear-longitudinal position in block with the transmission.

After three years of development, in 1974, at the Geneva Motor Show, the Countach - now called LP 400 - was ready to enter production and become, over the years, one of the most charismatic and long-lived supercars in automotive history.

The book, by Francesco Patti, after two initial chapters dedicated to the origins of Lamborghini and its extraordinary maker, Ferruccio, traces the entire stylistic and technical genesis of the immortal Countach.

LP 500, LP 400, Countach S, 48-valve, Evoluzione prototype and 25th Anniversary are the stages in the evolution of this extraordinary supercar that has managed to enter the collective imagination, remaining there forever.

170 pages and hundreds of colour and b/w photos.
