Do you know how most of the time we cover a barn find, it is usually an old American car? Well, it's understandable, as they were purchased brand-new from a local dealer and then kept in storage for years or decades for various reasons.
Gems rarely pop out from behind the wooden doors of an old building, and whenever they do, they almost immediately enjoy their 15 minutes of fame. In one of the world's richest countries, the United Arab Emirates, barn finds often include full-blown exotics with blue blood running through their veins.
That said, we just stumbled upon these images that were brought to our attention by supercar.fails on Instagram. However, they were actually taken well over one year ago in Dubai and shared online by arthurh_photo. Normally, since we're dealing with pictures that have probably been reposted countless times since then, we would've passed on dedicating an entire story to them, but they're all about the Lamborghini Countach – and we all love this model, don't we?
Spotted on the side of the road covered by sand, it's likely been neglected for many years. The black paint finish does look rather good, though anyone fortunate enough to snag it will have to inspect each mechanical component and make sure everything functions as it should. They will also have to live in a right-hand drive country, as it is an RHD example, with a beige leather interior that looks almost new, suggesting that it wasn't abused that much before being parked and forgotten.
The Lamborghini Countach is a true collectible valued at several hundred thousand dollars, depending on the configuration. And for good reasons, as it has a timeless design that has contributed to forming the exotic car marque as we all know it today. It succeeded the Miura in the brand's family, with the assembly taking place at the Sant'Agata Bolognese facility in Italy between 1974 and 1990. Several versions and special editions were launched during this time, and all of them came with a V12.
When Lambo pulled the plug on the Countach, it had the Diablo acting as its replacement, which received Audi's touch towards the end of its life, with the Italian company being purchased by the Germans in 1998. The Diablo left production in 2001, replaced by the Murcielago, which paved the road for the Aventador, introduced in 2011. The Revuelto now holds the flagship supercar role at Lamborghini, packing a 6.5L V12.
Rated at 813 hp (825 ps/606 kW), the naturally aspirated unit is backed up by three electric motors, which increase the total output to 1,001 hp (1,015 ps/747 kW). The Revuelto needs 2.5 seconds from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 kph) and has a 217 mph (350 kph) top speed.
