The Lamborghini Countach was built in Italy from 1974 to 1990, designed by Marcello Gandini with its famous wedge shape and scissor doors. Its mid-mounted V12 made it the definitive bedroom-poster supercar of the eighties and a lasting symbol of excess and speed. Engine audio from the car circulates widely online among car enthusiasts, sampled from rev videos and event footage rather than any single official recording. Editors keep reaching for that V12 howl because few sounds signal automotive fantasy as instantly.
