Why does the Countach have a front spoiler?
Lamborghini installed the spoilers in a parking lot That iconic rear wing was purely cosmetic. The Countach actually suffers front axle lift at high speed, and bolting a park bench out back only exacerbates the issue. But customers loved the look, so engineers zeroed out the wing’s angle, rendering it nonfunctional.
Why is the Countach so iconic?
A few distinctive features made the Countach so recognisable, even from a mile away. Besides a perfectly square nose, unique side sills, now-defunct pop-up headlights, and a brutally chopped rear end, the car also used only flat sheets of glass.
Why is the Countach not aerodynamic?
Poor aerodynamics The Countach was never tested in a wind tunnel due to a restrictive budget. All the curves, angles and corners of the car are basically guess-work when it comes to aerodynamic optimisation. The drag coefficient of the car is 0.42 which is about as aerodynamic as a shed.

Why was the Lamborghini Countach so bad?
It is riddled with flaws, impractical beyond words and simply an odd car in all the wrong ways.
