Lamborghini Countach Trivia & Fun Facts

It began in 1970 as a project called LP112. A designer at Bertone drew the wedge, a prototype appeared at Geneva in 1971, and for sixteen years it decided what a supercar should look like. Ninety verified questions — the name nobody can pin down, the doors borrowed from a concept car, the periscope in the roof, the Formula One owner who wanted more, and the 112 that came back in 2021.

Q24 · PART 3 · THE WEDGE
What did the roof-mounted periscope of the LP400 do?
It gave a view to the rear — the system came from a safety project, and it let the driver see behind a car with almost no rear window. Later cars used conventional mirrors.
