If people were surprised by the Miura, the Countach shocked the world. Its mid-mounted four-cam V12 engine and low, sleek, dramatic styling set a new standard for an Italian supercar. It was so unconventional, aggressive and futuristic that is cemented Lamborghini\u2019s position as the coolest maker of supercars on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Lamborghini Countach Special Editions<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px\">It turns out that while most of us thought the Lamborghini Countach was near perfect as a supercars, there were other (really rich) people who wanted more from their cars.
