1986 Lamborghini Countach 5000 S

Description

The Lamborghini Countach 5000 S, introduced in 1982, is an iconic symbol of 1980s supercar design and performance. As an evolution of the earlier Countach models, the 5000 S featured a larger, more powerful 4.8-liter V12 engine, producing 375 horsepower, delivering an exhilarating top speed of 182 mph. Its aggressive, wedge-shaped body—designed by Marcello Gandini—became a defining look for Lamborghini, with sharp angles, scissor doors, and wide, muscular rear haunches.

Inside, the Countach 5000 S was raw and driver-focused, offering minimal luxury in favour of a more immersive driving experience. The car’s advanced handling, powerful acceleration, and signature looks made it one of the most desirable and influential supercars of its era, cementing Lamborghini’s place as a leader in exotic car design and performance. Today, the Countach 5000 S remains an enduring automotive icon.

Despite its raw, race-inspired design, driving the Countach 5000 S required a level of finesse, as visibility was limited and its powerful V12 demanded respect. However, for those who mastered it, the Countach delivered an unmatched sense of thrill and drama. Today, it remains a highly collectible piece of automotive history, revered for its groundbreaking design and the sheer audacity that Lamborghini brought to the supercar world.
