Buyer’s notes
About the Lamborghini Countach LP400S
The Countach LP400S of 1978 was the first major development of the Countach: widened wheel arches for Pirelli P7 tyres and an optional rear wing, around the 3.9-litre V12 of about 353 PS. It turned the slim LP400 into the wide-body Countach most people picture.
What moves the price
- Specification: collectors generally prefer cars built without the rear wing.
- Documentation: the factory records that confirm build specification.
- Originality and history, which matter more than mileage.
Before you buy, check
- Wing or no wing: confirm the original build specification from factory records.
- Identity and history against the factory records before anything else.
- Service history from a Lamborghini specialist.
