Lamborghini Patents Flexible Roof And Tail Spoilers

The Lamborghini Countach is famous for a few things, but one of them is the massive wing sprouting from the rear deck. Although not in the design brief for the original LP400 (or its LPI 800-4 homage from 2022), the spoiler was a common request after a 1975 one-off commissioned by F1 team owner Walter Wolf, and it quickly became one of the Countach's signature design features. In an era when contemporary Ferraris and Porsches had body-contouring spoilers and rear lips, the Lambo's picnic table wing was garish, bold, and innovative. The same descriptors might also belong to Lamborghini's latest patent, a movable roof spoiler that directs air to a similarly flexible rear wing.
