Lamborghini Countach LP400S

The Lamborghini Countach LP400S reaches 60 mph in 5.46 s (100 km/h in 5.69 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.71 s, tripping the lights at 108.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.42 s and the eighth mile in 9.07 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.92 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Countach LP400S

The 1978 Lamborghini Countach LP400S is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,360 kg with 354 bhp, which works out at 260 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 260 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.42 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,621st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 70th quickest of the 83 Lamborghinis here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 108.1 mph, the 1,569th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 5 of 7 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Lamborghini Countach LP400S 0-60 time?
The Lamborghini Countach LP400S reaches 60 mph in 5.46 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,621st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lamborghini Countach LP400S quarter mile time?
13.71 s at 108.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.07 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.42 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lamborghini Countach LP400S have?
354 bhp and 1,360 kg, which is 260 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 275 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lamborghini Countach LP400S?
Closest here on pace: Ferrari Testarossa (5.44 s), Ferrari 512 BB (5.22 s), Jaguar Super V8 Portfolio (5.46 s). Each one can be raced against the Lamborghini Countach LP400S in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Lamborghini Countach LP400S is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 of its 7 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
