Presently, not including the models with mathematical names, everything began with the Miura, which is a Spanish battling bull reared from the genealogy of the Miura Cattle Ranch possessed by Lamborghini's companion, Don Eduardo Miura.

Sounds epic, isn't that so? Stand by, until you hear the tale about the Countach, the primary vehicle to break Lambo's conventional name-giving. Here's the genuine story, directly from the Countach's fashioner, Marcello Gandini.
"At the point when we made vehicles for the vehicle shows, we worked around evening time and we were completely worn out, so we would joke around to keep our spirit up. There was a profiler working with us who made the locks. He was two meters tall with two colossal hands, and he played out all the little positions. He talked practically just Piedmontese, didn't communicate in Italian. Piedmontese is very different from Italian and sounds like French. One of his most continuous outcries was 'countach', which in a real sense implies plague, disease, and is really utilized more to communicate shock or even reverence, similar to 'goodness'. He had this propensity. At the point when we were working around evening time, to keep our assurance up, there was a jousting soul, so I said we could call it Countach, similarly as a joke, to state an overstated jest, with no conviction. There close by was Bob Wallace, who collected the mechanics – we generally made the vehicles operational. Around then you could even fold into the vehicle shows with the vehicle running, which was glorious. So flippantly I asked Bob Wallace how it sounded to an Anglo-Saxon ear. He said it in his own specific manner, abnormally. It worked. We quickly thought of the composition and stuck it on. However, perhaps the genuine recommendation was the possibility of one of my colleagues, a youngster who said how about we consider it that. That is the means by which the name was begat. This is the main genuine story behind this word."
As interesting how this story went, what will be will be for the amazing Countach. Not all that epic, indeed, yet a fascinating tale, regardless.
