This 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S, in particular, has only seen 19,000 total miles on the road and comes complete with two recent services (2013, 2018) that totaled over $25,000 USD in maintenance and upkeep alone. The LP400 S saw an entire production lifespan of just four years and the exotic Italian car manufacturer only built 237 of these cars.
This car may look exotic on the outside. But you can feel rest assured the rear engine compartment on this Countach packs some serious firepower as well. Giotto Bizzarini designed 3.9L V12 engine propels this car. Moreover, that produces 350 horsepower when it rolled off the lot new. It converts that power to tire rotation through the use of its five-speed manual gearbox. Although the horsepower figures pale in comparison to today’s 1800 horsepower monsters. But, this car was a force to be reckoned with when it came out almost forty years ago.
In 2013 the car went a complete overhaul by taking the engine out. Done by Imports Unlimited located in Illinois (seals, sparks, clutch assembly, re-powder coated the valve covers).
Just as you would expect, this car has the iconic scissor doors. Also, It is finished with a firey red paint. In order to compliment the butternut squash leather-clad interior.
