General description : Stunning 1982 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Series II: 'Low-Body' Car and 1 of just 105 ProducedThe 1982 Lamborghini Series II Countach LP400 S offered here is a rare car, one of 105 low-body models, that preserves the lowered suspension, ride height, and body of the earlier LP400. Red with tan leather interior, this stunning example has been under the same Santa Barbara California ownership since 1991 and has just 18k original kilometers. Mechanically superb, this Countach runs and drives as spectacular as it presents itself. Offered with tools and several service records. This car has been living in Santa Barbara for 30 years and has been a California car the majority of its life. As to be expected with any car of this age, the paint is showing its age in a few areas with a few very minor flaws. The overall condition is excellent and it is believed that chassis number 1121310 was the last Series II car built, leaving the car presented here, chassis number 1121308, as the second-to-last example constructed. The LP400 S models have a purity that the later cars simply lack. These early cars remained true to the original Gandini design. A LP400 S Series II Countach in this condition is an exceptional example to round off any serious collection. Desirable low-body CountachOne of just 105 Series II examples produced18k kilometersCalifornia car most of its lifeOut of 20 year ownership Price: $549,500

About Lamborghini
Ah, the fiery tale of Lamborghini, a true icon born from the sparks of frustration with the Prancing Horse! Picture yourself in the early 1960s, a time when the automotive world was dominated by the likes of Ferrari. Now, enter Ferruccio Lamborghini, a successful tractor manufacturer and a man with a passion for powerful machines.

Act 1: The Frustration (1963)
Ferruccio, a proud owner of several Ferraris, found himself dissatisfied with the clutch in his 250 GT. Frustrated, he marched into Enzo Ferrari's office to air his grievances. The meeting didn't go as planned, with Enzo dismissing Ferruccio's concerns, suggesting that he stick to building tractors. Well, that was like waving a red flag at a bull.

Act 2: The Birth of Lamborghini (1963)
Fuelled by a mixture of frustration and determination, Ferruccio decided to take matters into his own hands. In 1963, he founded Automobili Lamborghini. His vision? To create grand touring cars that rivaled, or even surpassed, the offerings of Ferrari.

Act 3: The Pioneering Models (1960s-1970s)
And thus, the Lamborghini legend began with the release of the Miura in 1966. Designed by Marcello Gandini, this mid-engined masterpiece was a trailblazer, the world's first true supercar. With a V12 engine mounted behind the driver, the Miura set the standard for performance and style.

Following the Miura's success, Lamborghini introduced the iconic Countach in the early '70s. Marcello Gandini once again worked his magic, giving birth to a wedge-shaped wonder that became a poster child for a generation. The Countach wasn't just a car; it was an automotive revolution.

Act 4: The Design Maestros
Behind the scenes, designers like Marcello Gandini and later Giugiaro played pivotal roles in shaping Lamborghini's distinct aesthetic. Gandini's work on the Miura and Countach cemented Lamborghini's reputation for bold, angular designs that pushed the boundaries of automotive styling.

Act 5: The Legacy and Modern Marvels
As the decades unfolded, Lamborghini continued to innovate and produce iconic models. The Diablo, Murciélago, Aventador, and the more recent Huracán and Urus all carry the Lamborghini DNA – a perfect blend of power, performance, and unmistakable design.

Epilogue: A Fierce Rivalry
The Lamborghini-Ferrari rivalry became legendary, driving both companies to push the limits of automotive engineering. Lamborghini, born out of frustration, emerged not just as a competitor but as a trailblazer, leading the way for mid-engined supercars that continue to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.

So, there you have it, the epic saga of Lamborghini – a story of frustration turned into a symphony of roaring engines, sleek designs, and a legacy that forever changed the landscape of high-performance automobiles.
