What is the top speed of the LP400?
Lamborghini claimed 300km/h (186 mph) top speed for the first Countach LP400. However, like engine power, the top speed was deliberately overrated to overwhelm Ferrari Daytona. When the Lamborghini engineers subtracted the Gallardo’s solid top, they added more muscle, bumping the output of the 5. V-10 from 493 horsepower at 7800 rpm to 512 at 8000. That’s 29 more horses than the V-8 in the Ferrari F430 makes. Its top speed outdid the Ferrari by 9 mph (to 195).
How many Lamborghini Countach LP400s were made?
In total, 151 LP400s were built between 1974 and 1978. Note: This is a ‘Kerbside’ model and does not feature moving parts. The Lamborghini Countach is limited to just 199 pieces. Between 1966 and 1968, Lamborghini produced 250 units of the 400 GT which took on various updates during its life time.
