This is the car that hung on more bedroom walls than any other, and it earned the spot by refusing to look like anything else on the road. Marcello Gandini drew the Countach as a wedge with almost no curves at all — a doorstop with a V12 behind the seats and doors that opened upward because conventional ones would not clear the sills.
Shown here in red with the rear wing, the specification most people picture when they hear the name. Gandini reportedly disliked that wing; it cost top speed and was never part of his drawing. Owners ordered it anyway, because by then the Countach had stopped being a car and become a poster, and posters are allowed to be theatrical.
Practicality was never the point. Visibility rearward was close to nonexistent, the cabin was cramped, and parking required opening the door and sitting on the sill. None of it mattered. The Countach defined what a supercar was supposed to look like for an entire generation, and every wedge that followed was answering it.
