Lamborghini Countach

==Description==
The Lamborghini Countach LP400 S is a mid-engined high-performance sports car produced by Italian car manufacturer Lamborghini from 1974 to 1990. Designed by Marcello Gandini, its design pioneered and popularized the wedge-shaped, sharply angled look popular in many high-performance sports cars. It also popularized the "cab forward" design concept, which pushes the passenger compartment forward to accommodate a larger engine. It is powered by a 4.8L L406 V12 mated to a 5-speed synchromesh manual. The LP400 S was a refinement of the original LP400; although it had a less powerful engine, the car had fiberglass wheel extensions and other exterior changes. The Countach could be ordered with an optional rear wing which improved high-speed stability decreased top speed; most buyers ordered the wing. Production of the LP 400S ended in 1982; 237 were produced.
Early castings of the die-cast model have the wing molded separately from the body. There must have been assembly or tool and die issues, because the wing was later integrated into the body, making it one piece.
