View of a Lamborghini Countach, parked in the international paddock, during the Silverstone Classic media Day.


The Lamborghini Countach is a mid-engined supercar that Italian automaker Lamborghini produced from 1974 to 1990. Its design pioneered and popularized the wedge-shaped, sharply angled look popular in many high-performance sports cars. It also popularized the "cabin-forward" design concept, which pushes the passenger compartment forward to accommodate a larger engine. In 2004, American car magazine Sports Car International named the car number three on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970s, and listed it number ten on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1980s
