lamboc Picture of the Day: How to Dream in the 1970s

Just to make y’all even more jealous, the Autofiends Los Angeles office will be taking possession of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 this Thursday. Hopefully in lime green. Now, I’ve known about this car for weeks and every once in a while I stop thinking about it. But, that’s rare. And if you think about it, the Gallardo, Murcielago and Diablo can all trace their distinctive shapes to Marcello Gandini’s masterpiece, the Countach. Above is what a Countach looked like in 1974, before wings, Testarossa-style strakes and splitters messed up the purity of Gandini’s vision. Truthfully, I do like the NACA ducts that showed up on the production LP400, but it’s really hard to argue with the Orange stunner above. Really, really hard. Just for the record, that’s an LP500 Prototype.
