Production commenced for the Lamborghini Countach in March of 1974 at the automaker’s factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese. This model was the first Lamborghini whose bodywork was made “in-house” with panel-beating carried out by hand, while the interiors were produced by the Lamborghini Upholstery Department.
The LP 400 (1974-1978), the very first version of the Countach, was limited to 152-units, and features fenders without extensions as well as a centrally recessed roof designed for the rearview mirror, which earned it the nickname “Periscopio”. It also came equipped with Pirelli low-profile tires, wheel arch extensions, “phone dial” wheels and the aerodynamic appendage positioned below the front part.

We are proud to still be producing our super sports car models in the place where the Countach was created. Production has radically changed since then and there was a marked transformation of many aspects starting with the production of the Countach right through to today’s models. Today our production is very different from 1974, but it retains the best aspects and brings together the manual skills of our operators and the best available technologies, giving rise to the so-called Manifattura Lamborghini Next Level. The common denominator between the production of the Countach and our cars today is attention to detail,” said Ranieri Niccoli, Lamborghini’s Chief Manufacturing Officer.
