The Ultimate 80s Icon: 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP5000S

Описание: If you had to pick one car that defined the "poster car" era, this is it. We’re at the San Diego Automotive Museum getting an up-close look at a pristine, Rosso Siviglia (Red) 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP5000S.
With its radical "wedge" design by Marcello Gandini and those legendary flared arches, the LP5000S (also known as the LP500 S) was Lamborghini’s answer to the quest for more power in the early 80s. This isn't just a car; it's a 160+ mph piece of moving art.

The iconic "Telephone Dial" wheels.The massive rear wing that defined the 80s silhouette.
