The Lamborghini Countach featured in "The Cannonball Run" has been added to the National Historic Vehicle Register of significant automobiles. The black coupe is currently owned by a fan of the film.
The two-door coupe was featured in the film’s opening credit sequence being chased by a police car down a desert highway and was entered in the eponymous cross-country race by characters played by Adrienne Barbeau and Tara Buckman who -- SPOILER ALERT -- would go on to win. "The Countach is a car that has excited and intrigued car enthusiasts since its radical style shocked the world on its debut in the early ’70s," Hagerty Drivers Foundation executive director Jonathan Klinger said. "We are thrilled to document and share the history behind what is probably the most famous example of the storied model."More Related News
