    I must have seen a dozen different modernisations and reinterpretations of the Countach and none of them have ever done much for me. Probably says more about the quality of the original design than my own possible lack of aesthetic appreciation!

    Good point - my RHD has the big wing, and my LHD the small wing.

    Correct, but to say the big wing is the "LP400S wing" is a bit misleading.

    Joe,
    these acutal wings came from an LP400S and a QV, my sentence means simply cars they were attached to when i found the cars

    if memory serves, i made a wing thread LONG time ago (probably some 10 years ago) on all countach wing variants

    Yes that's understood, I also wanted people to know that those big wings were used on LP400S, LP500S and QV because many people reading our posts are unaware.

    Hmmm. Fits in the design style they are going, I think Mitja Borkert is a great designer for Porsche, but not for Lamborghini. He only looks at the past, a strongly dislike his feeble attempt to connect the Urus with the LM002. Perini could draw cars that the mediocre designers of the future will draw inspiration from!

    Blu Acapulco LP500S sold by us, looks particularly good now that it's shod with correct-spec Pirelli Cinturato P7s again just the way it left Sant Agata, note 205 series in front.

    The good doctor is living the dream here in California.

    Best move I made on my car going to 205 tyres as steering is now sublime plus much reduced efforts.

    Do we have the width measurements of both wings at the center?

    An important consideration.

    Plus the Pirelli P7 looks so right.
