It was 50 years ago at the Geneva Motor Show when the Lamborghini Countach LP 500 in yellow was introduced. At ten o’clock in the morning the prototype made its first public appearance at the exhibition space in Carrozzeria Bertone. The unveiling was so successful that the company raced against time to satisfy customer requests to transform the futuristic show car into a small series production car.
The decision to unveil the Countach LP 500 was motivated by the fact that Lamborghini was featuring the latest arrival from the House of the Raging Bull: the Miura SV, perfected after five years of production. With this double presentation, Lamborghini communicated and confirmed its prowess not only in production but especially in innovation, to the extent that in the months following Geneva, the Countach LP 500 was featured in all the international automotive magazines.
