The Countach was first introduced in 1974 as a mid engined supercar. Styled by Marcello Gandini of the Bertone design studio, the same designer and studio that designed the Miura. The doors, a Countach trademark, were scissor doors: hinged at the front with horizontal hinges, so that the doors lifted up and tilted forwards, partly as a result of the cars great width.

Originally launched as the Countach LP400 and powered by 4.0 litre V12. The car was upgraded in 1978 as the LP400S though the engine was slightly downgraded from 375 to 355 PS.

1982 the saw LP500S with further improvements and an enlarged engine of 4.8 litres The bodywork was unaltered, however the interior was given an update. This variant is sometimes called the 5000 S, which may cause confusion with the later 5000 QV. 321 cars were built.

In 1985 the 500QV was launched the engine was enlarged again to 5167cc and given four valves per cylinder (48 valves) The carburettors were moved from the sides to the top of the engine for better breathing — unfortunately this created a hump on the engine deck, reducing the already poor rear visibility to almost nothing. Some body panels were also replaced by Kevlar. In later versions of the engine, the carburettors were replaced with six Weber carburettors on the 455bhp Euro spec cars.

The 1987 and 88 models received straked side skirts
