I’m 6’1 210 lbs…and believe me…this could have been a medieval torture device for someone my size. To be fair, in early 1990’s I bought a 1991 SL500 in Houston and drove it to Seattle…and by the second day..when getting gas..people would literally see me crawling out of the car on all fours…the seats were truly designed to cripple if you went farther than getting a Starbucks in your neighborhood.

It has always been the Countach for me, even today. The design was just so far ahead of its time, even now it looks contemporary. Strictly speaking, if my memory serves me right, the Testarossa wasn't the Countach's direct competitor, it was in fact the 512 BB. Whether it was the 512 BB or the Testarossa, I always saw Lamborghini as being way ahead in its forwardness in design.

The Ferrari f40 and Porsche 959 in the mid 80s when they came out were and are considered to be the first ever SUPER sports cars. I've heard that although both were awesomely-fast (barely exceeding 200 mph - the first ever street-legal cars to) they, like most extreme sports cars, had 'bone-jarring' rides, predictably and not surprisingly. Supposedly both were great 'track cars' too...

Fun fact; In the late '80s Lamborghini built one Countach as a carbon fibre monocoque, rather than a steel spaceframe chassis. It did the rounds of the car magazines at the time. And then they crashed it. Deliberately, to see how a carbon fibre structure would behave in an accident. At that time no manufacturer was producing carbon fibre chassis road cars, it had only become routine in F1 a few years earlier.

Funny story about the Miami vice Testarossa. Jay Leno said he was talking to Michael Mann, (Miami Vice creator) & Mann told Jay that the 1st Testarossa they used was a fake because the show was low budget. Somehow Enzo Ferrari found out about the show & found out that Mann was using a fake Ferrari. Mann said Enzo called him & said "why aren't u using a real Ferrari? Why the fake one?" Mann replied that it made sense because it looked like a Ferrari, but was 1/4 the price. "Plus who cares. The viewer can't tell the difference & it's still been a great boost for your company Enzo, right?" Enzo replied, "I know your viewer can't tell the difference & yes it's been a great advertisement for all of us here at Ferrari motors, but the problem is I can it's a fake & the idea of anyone using a fake Ferrari is killing me. Look. I'll give u a real Testarossa to use on your show. Just stop using that fake one" Mann (very surprised but thrilled) agreed & next day Mann told his writers & other staff that on the next Miami vice episode, they HAVE to blow up the fake Ferrari. He told them to start coming up with ideas as to how we can blow up the car for the next episode" On the next episode the car was blown up. And he never told them why he wanted the car blown up until Enzo shipped the new Testarossa a few days later & Mann drove it onto the film set while the crew & actors were shooting the very next Miami Vice episode.

I remember reading Road and Track Magazine during the 80's and drooling over both of these cars. I always liked the aesthetics of both, but preferred the Testarossa. I've never driven either, but, for those interested, watch Jay Leno's review of his Testarossa. He drove one daily for years and gives a pretty honest assessment of it. If I recall correctly, he said he liked it, but, like this reviewer, said there are better driving cars. Leno described driving the Countach at high speeds as like driving a brick because the aerodynamics aren't particularly good despite it looking like its aerodynamics should be efficient and stable. Actually, I always preferred the Porsche 911 and its variants to both of these cars (particularly the 930 Turbo), and would get one today, if I could afford it - which I can't. When I was 15 I figured I was going to live in a mansion, drive a 930 Turbo and date a series of supermodels until I died. I'm still waiting for that whole process to begin.

Low and wedgie the lotus steering heavy at slow speeds, visibility from the rear through the slats is difficult. Worse in the dark as being so low everyone's headlights from behind are on eye level and going over any bump in the road means they get cutout but the slats so its like they are constantly flashing you from behind.

Harry Metcalfe has both and has done big trips in both - the Countach has been to the South of France and Italy many times, the Testarossa went to the south of France carrying an outboard boat engine in its frunk, and has been deep into the Sahara desert... both deceptively usable cars!

@andrewb4470 2 жыл бұрын

I didn't know the trunk was called a 'frunk' in France, lol. Just kidding. : ) I've test driven a Countach 5000S and an Anniversary model - the 5000S was a lot easier to drive than the Anniversary which was like taking a bull by the horns, lol, but I loved it! Have never owned a Lamborghini though, always end up with Porches or BMW M3's.

The Countach is without a doubt the ultimate dream super car to own. It’s a fighter jet for the road. Just looking at it gets your heart racing. Must own one before you die.

Amazing to think that I had these cars on posters on my wall as a kid, imagining their performance as something totally unachievble to experience. Today my family estate car is faster than both these cars 😁

I had a friend who owned a Testarossa. Glorious car, but I always loved the Countach. Personally I think comparing the two is not right, they where not designed for the same purpose and let's face it, the Countach was allready an old car when the Testarossa came out.

@poplaurentiu4148 2 жыл бұрын

In this case (at least to me) the Ferrari TR is cool but only looking from the rear so, that is why the Countach takes the cake on everything is so extreme and amazing very easy to see why is the favorite poster car, but if Countach would have being compared to an F40 the balance switch toward > F40 because imo that is by far the greatest Ferrari ! ;0)

@1:15, you say that the Testarossa was powered by a flat 12 engine which implies this was a boxer engine, which it wasn’t. Ferrari used a 180deg V12 which although flat like a boxer engine, isn’t the same. Semantics you’ll say but I just wanted to clarify. A great video overall btw

@hoobaguy4311 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah the boxer engine would have a journal for each opposed piston whereas the 180 degree v12 would have one journal for each pair.

@roncurtis8174 8 ай бұрын

Let's be real. If a Countach and a Testarossa see each other in the wild, neither one is going to look at the other and say "But I'm faster". They'll both give each other a nod and appreciate the other equally. Lol

@Mg2SiO4 4 ай бұрын

The Countach came from outer space. So stylish, unconventional and brutally shaped, looks more like a spaceship than a car. Any other contemporary competitor was overshadowed by its design. Testarossa and 512BB were two wonderful cars, with a more polite and elegant design by Pininfarina, but were way less emotional than the Lambo. The raging bull's masterpiece re-defined the idea of an "exotic car", and not just because of its futuristic doors. I saw all the generations of this model in the Lamborghini factory and I have to say are all some really impressive cars. Are way more brutal even of the more recent models. A real "Raging Bull".

Great video, but it would have been more accurate to compare the Countach with the F40. The Testarossa was a GT, and the Countach and the F40 were supercars.

@888mf4 2 жыл бұрын

I disagree. The Countach and Testarossa were direct competitors in the 1980's. The F40 was a special 'race car' although we will review an F40 at some point.
