The first 'new' Countach was the LP500S; Ferrari had unveiled their Boxer, which was faster than the Countach LP400S, so Lamborghini had to do something. The enlarged 5-Liter engine needed just as much fresh air as the 4-Liter unit, so the intakes behind the doors remained the same. On the March 1982 Geneva Auto Show, the new LP500 S was introduced, the old LP400 S remained available, but naturally did not sell very well anymore. The LP500S was a little heavier, about 290 Kg., but was still a lot faster than the LP400 S. This 'all-new' Countach outsold its predecessors in only two years, in its three-year production run, the LP500S sold 323 units. - See more at: www.lambocars.com/countach/countach_lp500_s.html#sthash.DTVYEyxM.dpuf
