Oh, I thought you had forgotten that there was no link to bulls with the name Countach. My bad.

It is a legend though. No one knows where the name was thought up for real. Maybe it went like this, maybe it didn't. Other versions of the story say that it was Nuccio Bertone tha exclaimed "Countach" when he saw it, others claim it was what the audience murmured when it was unveiled. The last version seems highly unlikely to me though. The car already had the name Countach on it when it was unveiled and I can't imagine that the whole crowd consisted of people that speak the accent of the Piedmontese region.
