When the yellow Lamborghini Countach LP400 Prototype was first introduced to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in 1971 many people wondered if the design of the car designed by designer Marcello Gandini lost this idea? So he designed the car with a corner model and trapezoidal elements and opposite the Lamborghini Miura model that has a smooth curve design?

In 1971 no one knew that the new model of this supercar in the future will be regarded as a supercar that will become the reference of the existing supercar.
