Lamborghini Countach LP 500 Turns 50

Lamborghini Celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Lamborghini Countach LP 500.

March 11, 2021, marks 50 years since the showstopping yellow Lamborghini Countach LP 500 made its debut at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. The exact time was 10 am that the prototype was unveiled within the Carrozzeria Bertone exhibition space at the show, not Lamborghini’s exhibition space.
