The Lamborghini Countach replaced the Miura, and was again a real supercar. The
Countach was one of the fastest production cars in the mid 1970s. Lamborghini claimed a topspeed of over
300kph/186mph which was exaggerated. But the 288kph/179mph, measured by a german car magazine, was quite fast anyway.
The Countach was built until 1990 and replaced by the Diablo.
