The '''25th Anniversary Lamborghini Countach''' is one of the eleven original cars of Stunts, available in all game versions. The Countach is, alongside with [[Ferrari GTO]], one of the cars with flat-straightline top speed approaching 200mph (despite relatively poor acceleration in lower gears) without the elevated racing car [[Car parameters#Grip|grip]] that characterizes [[Porsche March Indy|Indy]] and [[IMSA Cars]]. Thus, it has tricky handling, very reliant on controlled slides and [[Sliding jump|sliding jumps]] at high-level  racing.<br>
One crucial difference sets GTO and Countach apart, however. While GTO is one of the [[Power Gear]] cars, Countach is quite unique among the original cars for possessing a very pronounced "[[Anti-Power Gear]]" effect: on fourth and fifth gears, attempting to accelerate through most track elements which would propel Indy or [[Acura NSX|NSX]] into Power Gear (such as loops or ramps) actually makes the car ''slow down'' significantly, thus forcing the driver to lift off the gas pedal. Such characteristics make the Countach one of the game's most challenging cars, as well as one disliked by the majority of competition racers ([[Zak McKracken]] being the most notorious exception).<br>
Countach is also one of the cars able to perform the [[Magic Carpet]] trick.
