1980 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Turbo

Chassis 1121160 began life as a 1980 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Series II Low Body, a true testament to the radical styling and performance Lamborghini had become known for. Delivered new to Max Bobnar, Lamborghini’s official Swiss importer, this car quickly made its mark. Its connection to Lamborghini’s most iconic figures is undeniable—there’s an unforgettable photo of test driver Valentino Balboni and founder Ferruccio Lamborghini standing proudly in front of 1121160, parked next to the legendary Walter Wolf Countach.

Between 1980 and 1982, Bobnar entrusted the car to master technician Franz Albert for a stunning transformation into a twin-turbocharged beast. The car was repainted in a dazzling metallic red, outfitted with unique side skirts, and rolled on red wheels. Its final iteration, completed around 1982, was visually striking with Turbo graphics and a white interior—a look that made it a standout. In this form, 1121160 became a media sensation, gracing the pages of countless magazines and immortalized as a model car. This turbocharged evolution of the Countach remains one of the most iconic versions ever created.
