    The Lamborghini Countach did not merely join the supercar world. It redrew it. When Marcello Gandini’s sharp yellow LP 500 prototype appeared at the Geneva Motor Show in 1971, it looked unlike anything around it: low, angular, dramatic, and almost impossibly futuristic. Its wedge shape, scissor doors, rear-mounted V12, and uncompromising stance turned a motor car into a cultura...
