Unlike any other Countach you’ll ever see.
Commonly referred to as the ultimate poster car of the 80s, the Lamborghini Countach continues to age like fine wine while skyrocketing in the collector car market. And with the unfortunate passing of designer Marcello Gandini earlier this year, the Countach remains a timeless icon in Italian supercar engineering. The team of automotive historians at CURATED of Miami, FL is pleased to showcase this ultra-rare 1980 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Turbo as part of its inventory of exclusive collector cars for sale on duPont REGISTRY.
Chassis 1121160 began life in Sant’Agata as a 1980 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Series II Low Body, perfectly embodying the bold design and performance DNA Lamborghini was known for. Originally delivered to Max Bobnar, Lamborghini’s Swiss importer, this example quickly became a piece of automotive history. It carries ties to some of Lamborghini’s most legendary figures—most notably, an iconic photograph of test driver Valentino Balboni and company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini posing with it, parked alongside the famous Walter Wolf Countach.
Between 1980 and 1982, Bobnar had the Countach completely transformed by master technician Franz Albert, upgrading it into a twin-turbocharged beast. This version got a fresh metallic red paint job, red wheels, and bold new side skirts. The final iteration, completed around 1982, featured Turbo graphics and a pristine white leather interior. The result was a media icon, showcased in magazines worldwide and immortalized as an icon. Redefining what it meant to be a supercar in that era, the turbocharged Countach was unlike anything else on the road.
This twin-turbo Countach remains one of the most legendary examples ever created, a bold statement that stands out even among Lamborghini’s wildest designs. Its transformation from the LP400 S to a turbocharged build is just one example of Lamborghini’s spirit of pushing limits. Even today, the rarity of chassis 1121160 continues to captivate enthusiasts, reminding the world of an era when Lamborghini was rewriting the rules of supercar engineering.
