Format : 750 x 511 Size : 91 Kb Max Bobnar, an authorised Automobili Lamborghini SpA dealer for Switserland had his personnal Countach LP5000 S modified by Franz Albert, an Austria based engineer who installed two small turbo's on the 5.0 Litre V-12 engine. These turbo's pumped up the horsepower to a healthy 520 Bhp at 6500 rpm, with this engine installed the Countach LP5000 S Twin Turbo managed to reach 100 Km/u (60 Mph) in 4.8 seconds, instead of Format : 750 x 509 Size : 90 Kb 5.9 seconds for a 'standard' 5-Litre unit. Top speed for this special Countach isn't recorded, but Max Bobnar drove it at a sustained speed of 290 Km/h (180 Mph) with still room for more, he didn't push it all the way because he didn't know if the standard suspension could cope with speeds above 300 Km/h. The current whereabouts of this car are unknown to me, if anyone has any idea, please let me know.
