This new video from Motor Trend sees Justin Bell compare Lamborghini’s Aventador with one of its ancestors, the Countach, for the latest episode of its World’s Fastest Car Show series.
Built long before Audi took over the company in 1998, the wedge-shaped Countach was produced from 1974 to 1990. Initially powered by the Miura’s 4.0-litre V12 engine fed by six Weber carburetors, but capacity was increased over its lifetime, with the 5000QV model receiving a 5.2-litre unit that developed 253 kW (339 hp) in Europe and 309 kW (414 hp) in America where it used Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection.
