My first car mag which my Dad picked up for me in 86 when I was 12. It got me dreaming of exotics. I've since procured ferraris and porsches but not the elusive vintage Lambo just yet...

 

wow!? Lambo powered T-bucket...that's ghastly yet kinda cool?

Could be from any of the front engine cars - espada, jarama, 400gt.

 

Thought I had them all, never seen this. Thank you!

 

nice
is it a 400S ?

 

cool! twin of mine

 

Looks odd with the strobe light bar that far back!
Others I have seen had it further fwd.

 

I was there and was horrified to see one of those white cars smash into the Armco, sideways, at the piscine exit !!! Any photos around ?

Sorry guys, the pace car smash was in 1983

i bought this magazine in Osterreich, at the beginning of august 1983, during an holyday abroad: i was 21, that was my first trip out of Italy and i did not know anything of german language but i saw this magazine and there was the Countach on the the first page...

I was very happy reading that the Countach was the fastest one, 293 km/h, without rear wing. The average gasoline consuption during the test was 4,2 km per liter...

interesting they had an "old" LP400S series II for test in 1982

 

it was 1983.

They did the pictures with the 400S2 but there are some pictures (smaller) with a 5000S: may be they found it later, after the photo session.
That red is a 400S2, correct

 

these are Auto Motor und Sport 1983 5000S pictures and test data: Countach were not easy to find in Germany...
