Lamborghini Countach Turbo S

[y2blade]

The Lamborghini Countach Turbo S was only built two times in the Lamborghini factory, one of them was a prototype. Apparently the prototype is either lost or doesn't exist anymore, which makes this car one of a kind. Most people will agree that even until today this car is the most radical Lamborghini ever built.



The 4,8 litre V12 with bi-turbo had a power output of 748 hp (!!!!) and 876 Newtonmeter. It managed to do 0-100 km/h in 3,7 seconds and kept going all the way up to 333 km/h.


Beneath the steering wheel there is a turbo adjuster. It could be manually turned to boost the turbo from 0,7 bar to 1,5 bar at which the engine performed its maximum power output.

Crikey I'd kill myself if I drove that, but it'd be fun doing so!

I like a good twiddly knob

[Simbu]

Love it! Especially the turbo knob, just the right kind of mental

Shame about the 'turbo' motif along the windscreen.

[Egg Chaser]

I've never really been a fan of the Countach, but that's brilliant!

I agree about the Turbo sticker on the windscreen though, that ruins it a bit.

[soad]

Gulp, sure isn't shy of power. Imagine driving that monster

[C2james]

[slipstream 1985]

I hope they upgraded the brakes before putting that sort of power in it - aren't the brakes on these meant to be fairly rubbish

[benzito]

wow! I had never even heard of a turbo'ed countach, dude that has to be one of the coolest if not the coolest car ever made - I'm just adding it to my lottery wishlist as I type, if the devil drove a car it would be this!

Pfft. This is a pre-Audi Lambo, the boost adjuster probably increases boost no matter which way you turn it.

I bet it's fantastic.

Blimey, I bet that's a hoot in a straight line.

But as the Countach was a renowed "dog-t*rd" of a car, it's probably a "dog-t*urd", with a turbo", in every other respect.

[cheddar]

An extra 300hp?

Really?

[Checkmate]

FFS Countach is only a couple of cars along my "This one next" list, and then you have to show me this. Thats a bloody amazing car and I can't have it.

Only by idiots whose only exposure to them has been courtesy of messrs clarkson, may and hammond . . . talk to a few owners in the FML section on here to find out what they are really like
