The Countach was styled by Marcello Gandini of the Bertone design studio. His design for the Countach’s predecessor, the Lamborghini Miura, achieved commercial success and critical acclaim from the automotive press when it was introduced in March 1966. Following the Miura’s debut, Gandini began experimenting with a new, more angular and geometric design language in a series of concept cars for Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo and Lancia. In particular, the 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo and 1970 Lancia Stratos Zero were direct styling precursors to the Countach. Like the Countach, they were both entirely wedge-shaped, mid-engine designs with a low, flat front, truncated tail and angular details. Both of these concept cars featured unconventional methods of entry into the passenger compartment?a hinged windshield for the Stratos Zero and scissor doors for the Carabo?foreshadowing the scissor doors used on the Countach. lamborghini, supercars wallpaper, lambo car, Lamborghini Countach wallpapers, lamborghini gallardo wallpapers
(Lamborghini Murcielago)Murci?lago Roadster (2004?2006)
The Murci?lago Roadster was introduced in 2004. Primarily designed to be an open top car, it employed a manually attached soft roof as a cover from adverse weather, but a warning on the windshield header advised the driver not to exceed 100 mph (160 km/h) with the roof in place. The roof which was made of fabric could be folded and fit into a leather bag supplied with the car in order to store it in the front compartment when not in use. The designer, Luc Donckerwolke used the B-2 stealth bomber, the Wally 118 WallyPower yacht, and architect Santiago Calatrava’s Ciutat de les Arts i les Ci?ncies in Valencia, Spain as his inspiration for the roadster’s revised rear pillars and engine cover. The roadster weighs 29 kg (65 lb) more than the coup? due to the loss of the roof and the addition of chassis reinforcing components. The roadster could accelerate from 0?97 km/h (0?60 mph) in 3.8 seconds which is more than the coup? owing to the increased weight while the top speed remained the same as the coup?.
