Page "Lamborghini Countach" Paragraph 10

The Countach's styling and visual impression caused it to become an icon of great design to almost everyone except automotive engineers.

The superior performance characteristics of later Lamborghini models ( such as the Diablo, or the Murciélago ) appealed to performance car drivers and engineers, but they never had the originality or outrageousness that gave the Countach its distinction.

The different impressions left by the various Lamborghini models have generated numerous debates and disagreements over what constitutes ' classic ' or ' great ' automotive design ( elegant looks and style, vs. technical and engineering superiority ).
