Lamborghini Countach Engines and Transmissions

Every Lamborghini Countach engine is a naturally aspirated gasoline V12 mounted behind the cabin, driving the rear wheels through a manual gearbox. Displacement grew across the generation, with examples such as the 3.9 MT giving way to the larger 4.8 MT. Expect heavy controls, a firm clutch and no electronic driver aids.
