Yes.
The original show car just had louvers on the top of the rear fenders. When they decided to build some production cars they found out the louvers were in a low-pressure area and there was insufficient airflow through the side-mounted radiators. One of the mechanics at the test track when the overheating problem showed up cobbled some boxy air scoops out of sheet metal and attached them to the car so they could continue testing.
The proper solutions would have been to use some righteous fans, or to relocate to a single radiator at the rear, or even a radiator in the front. But Lamborgini was in dire financial straits at the time, so they just kept on using the fugly "dog ear" scoops.
Later, when tires got wider, they screwed on some plastic fender extensions that look like they same off a Jeep Renegade. The engineers bored the engine out a few times, and went to fuel injection, but never got around to fixing the original cooling problems, or widening the body to cover the wider tires. Widening would be a fearesomely expensive option for a car using pressed panels, but the Countachs were mostly hand-built, with the body panels shaped with an English sheel, hammers, and welding. Like Ferraris of the same era, no two were quite alike, and body parts from one car wouldn't necessarily fit another.
Lamborghini apparently placed little value with the original LP400 show car; they sent it to America, where the Federal government slammed it into a concrete wall for "crash testing." [sigh]
Nowadays someone would have retrieved the remains from the scrapyard and restored it to its original condition, but the collector market wasn't much interested in "new" cars back then. A peculiarity of the exotic restoration business is that if you crash a car badly enough, you can wind up with *two* cars, as the scrapped leftovers are sometimes built into another car, often sharing the same VIN number, much to the authorities' consternation.
