it seems that it was only an experiment...
while browsing www.lambocars.com I've found some other countash prototypes that were also destroyed that way! It seems that they make some protos, test them (unfortunately crashing them) and start working immediately on some other proto! Too bad, this kind of Lambos would be great for a good colector or the Lamborghini Museum - just imagine the historic value they would have!! |

I've never seen any performance figures, but i know that Bob Wallace produced at least 2 twin-turbo versions of, (i think), the LP400S Countach during the 80's.
There were also a few other "turboed" and at least one supercharged Countach... |

The 25th, is heavier and has worse aerodynamics. The next fastest is the old LP400 because without the wheelarches it was so much more aerodynamic. I've had my car in Germany at 191.6Mph. This was verified with a GPS system. I've also done a run with the rear wing fitted, and the acceloration about 155Mph was so slow I couln't be bothered. The fastest road legal Countachs were converted by a company in Germany called Koenig, this was a twin turbo and depending on the gearing would to about 217Mph! |

Relating to the Germany company, Koenig, are they at all related to the new "Koenigsegg CC" supercar, or do the similarities in the name have nothing to do with each other? Koenigsegg Website: http://www.koenigsegg.se/ Koenigsegg CC:

No, the Koenigsegg is Sweedish. When they've finnished developing the car it should be quite good, still no Lambo. There is roumoured to be around here an LP400 with a 6.2 Murcy engine in it! |

Re: What is the fastest Countach?
The only two cars connected to Lambo are: BMW M1, which was built by Lambo.
And, the Cizita Moroder V16T, Which was to be the Countach replacement until Chrysler canned it. Some staff walked out in discust and built this. I'll try and put a link up: http://www.chem.ucla.edu/~na/pics/ca...ics/cizeta.jpg http://213.84.134.46/ccpa/italiano/cizeta.jpg http://www.forumauto.net/voiture_moi...zetaNoire2.jpg http://www.forumauto.net/voiture_moi...izetaRouge.jpg This has a V16 engine ! |

Re: What is the fastest Countach?
i think most contaches run high 13's low 14's... even diablos only run 13.1 and the newest run high 12's... i love the contach way more than any other lambo.. i've loved them since i was a kid... pretty expensive for the performance though.. i think if i had money like that i would deffinatly head over to ferrari instead..
