As breathtaking as every Countach is, not all of them carry as much iconic status as the LP500 S. All the classic Countach elements are here from the vintage Italian wedge styling leading to an angular nose and even the unmistakable factory wheels.
However, the 1984 Lamborghini Countach LP500 S also has a few things that set it apart from its predecessors. For starters, Lamborghini fitted it with the widest rear tires ever included as standard equipment on a road car. It also has a larger V12 than its ancestors.
Keep in mind, this is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive design. This means the engine sits behind the driver and passenger instead of being under the hood in front of the car. Lamborghini increased the displacement of the V12 engine to 4,754 cc. It produces 375 brake horsepower with 302 pound-feet of torque.
Fire this baby up to hear the purr of the V12, place one hand on the shifter and it will be impossible to ignore your desire to drive it. The 5-speed manual transmission puts you in charge of the power band while giving you a more intimate connection with the road. Accelerating to 60 miles per hour from a dead stop only takes 5.6 seconds in this car, assuming you know how to drive a stick.
If you keep going you will reach the top speed of 164 mph, which is how fast the Countach LP500 S looks like it is going when it is not even moving. To match the ’80s dream car theme, this car features a Bianco exterior finish with a Bianco leather interior. It is a classy touch and one that will make you feel like Miami Vice every time you look at it.
Best of all, if you are looking for a 1984 Lamborghini Countach LP500 S for sale, you just found it. This one is still available and it can be yours. You had the poster on your wall, isn’t it time to add a Countach to your garage?
