During the supercar boom of the late 1970’s, the LP500S Walter Wolf, commonly known as the Wolf Countach, became a Lamborghini icon as the Countach that was even faster than a Countach. Fanatics of the time may remember this machine appearing in the 1979 Japanese movie starring the late Yusaku Matsuda, “The Resurrection of Golden Wolf”. Canadian oil tycoon and Formula 1 team owner Walter Wolf ordered several Countach models with unique specifications including front and rear fender flares, front lip, rear wing, 335-size Pirelli P7 tires with magnesium Bravo wheels, and the 5ℓ V12 engine. These custom features came to characterize the Countach but didn’t exist in 1974 until they were introduced with the Walter Wolf models then to become familiar from the 5000S onwards. Differences to the LP400 which was still in production at the time was not limited to the appearance and engine but also extended to larger brakes, Koni suspension system and 340km/h speedometer. The one and only LP500S Walter Wolf changed the history of Lamborghini and earned its credentials as a world heritage supercar.
