1978-16, 1979-40, 1980-120, 1981- , 1982- The first major updating of the Countach appeared in 1977 when Pirelli's P7 tires finally became available. Cast alloy Campagnolo Bravo styled rims in sizes of 15x8.5 inch (front) and 15x12 inch (rear) were shod with 205/50VR-15 and 345/35VR-15 respectively. The wider tires necessitated the addition of fibreglass fender flares front and rear. The front flares blended nicely into a new front spoiler that wrapped around the front of the car and housed driving lights and air intakes for the front brakes. Rear flares continued around the rear of the car to giving an appearance of mudflaps. The 400S also came with an optional $5000 rear wing that did add to the appearance of the car. It is debatable whether this did anything possitive for downforce. The wing was known to take a few mph off the top speed so many customers did not buy these. With the larger wheels came larger 11" disc brakes, shocks and better improved suspension geometry. Engine power was also uprated giving 353bhp at 9500rpm and 267 lbft at 5500rpm. Developement for this new model came in the form of modifications made to Water Wolf's personal Countaches in the quest for better grip and cornering ability. The LP400S was introduced at the 1978 Geneva Motor Show.
