original Lamborghini Countach (the LP400; before they put scoops and
wings all over it -- just a simple wedge shape; as radical a design

Good taste. The original version was by far the cleanest looking. I belong
to a couple of Lambo groups and every time someone says "I know the wings don't
do anything for the aerodynamics, but they look so cool" I have to restrain
myself from a snappy "Grow up - that's like sticking a propellor beanie on a
beautiful woman!"
Personally, my favourite Lambo is NOT the Countach - it has to be the Miura
- a V-12 sideways like a Mini and outrageous styling (and they used the same
magnesium wheel) as my Islero ;-)
