Originally powered by Larmborghini's 4L V12, during the course of production, the engine saw various developments that saw it increase in size and power, with the LP500 S using a 4.8L V12, and the LP5000 QV and 25th Anniversary Edition using a 5.2L V12. While later designs focused on the addition of spoilers and aerodynamically inspired additions, the initial design featured clean, unfettered lines, making early Countachs very distinguishable from later models. The unique scissor doors, a first for a production car, featured throughout all variants. While the Countach evolved greatly in terms of design over the course of its production, the original Marcello Gandini styling remained evident. The Countach featured angular, wedge-shaped styling, accented by use of trapezoidal shapes throughout the design. After three prototypes and a great deal of development work, the first iteration of the Countach, the LP400, hit the streets in 1974. The Lamborghini Countach was first unveiled to the world at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show.
