RM Paris 2015 – 1980 Lamborghini Countach LP400S Twin Turbo!?

A Countach with a twin-turbo V12!

Talk about delicious excess.

The original engine and turbocharger parts are all included in the sale, but the Countach as it stands is naturally-aspirated, as it was originally.

The colors of this bright Carrara White LP400S Series II, along with its rarity, ensure a very, very strong performance on the auction block in a few weeks.
