Great story. I am a big fan of Lambos and the late models are very solid and reliable.

I've wondered how it got the name, and why it didn't get a bull name..... mystery solved

I remember that story. The way it was described to me long time ago was that at the unveiling a German reporter cried out Countach. Someone asked what it meant and he said basically Holy Sh*t ! ; )

This was easily my favorite car in the 80's when I was young and uninformed.
