ffred34 I actually like the wheel flares. I don’t like all those weird updates they kept adding on later on though.

@@gojewla You will Learn padawan... Although the Cannonball Countach is the one Countach to Rule them all!

I was just about to write that and then I saw your comment! It was laughable as a kid, now I love it.

1000%

Aaron Chapman And the popping exhaust sounds are labeled *Applause*

Yeah, just what I thought too. A much better (less cartoonish) looking overall design without all of that added bodywork. Best looking Countach I've seen.

I used to like the later models better- but the clean design really has grown on me- today I think the old ones look better- but also a bit more dated (not a bad thing though), mostly because of the wheels I think.

😍😛 Love that car !!!

Indeed. Strange, the color is a real popper, but the shape seems more artful without the geegaws.

@@rogermason1674 less plastics you mean, since cf is plastic

Leuff has a panerai beater too

I wanted to see the lime green, but I have to otherwise agree with you, in spirit if nothing else.

Happy Harry is Drunk as a Judge in this video! GUARANTEED

He should buy it! Maybe if he clipped a MPV he would have won the option?

Original?

Duck Man ...I doubt it, but it IS beautiful.

agreed and i think the white leather looks quite nice with the purple

The magazine cover added some turbo to the colour.

@G. V. Quinn I used to read Car in the 70's. There was one edition where they went to Italy to pick up 3 Lambos and drive them back to England. All gold metallic, a Countach, a Uracco and a Silhouette (I think). It was an epic article, and has stayed with me for all this time.

I thought the same! A wonderful car that I may never get to drive...

Yeah it is surprising how much better it shows the car without all the extra fender flares and vents wing etc… it looks so much cooler

@@BingBangBrine which is exactly why I don’t like any Lamborghini after the murcialago they try too hard to look exotic but it just looks awkward

UmmThey had fender flares etc since 1978 starting with the 400S...the QV came around in 1985 and it was just 4 valves per cylinder (QV) was the major chamge not the bodywork

@@tomorr6083 Yes, I’ve known that for a while now. I wasn’t as familiar with Countachs back then.

@@aviationlba747 oh i see. sorry bud..that was pretty rude of me

Iused to watch top gear.. don't now but if i see anything on you tube with Chris Harris in it's always worth a watch

Spot on! The perfect trio 👍

Sorry, but no. Concept of that show is not on par with the strengths of these presenters. Setting them together for a car show is fine, but not under the current Top Gear show concept...

Time for a new car show....Modern Classic car Show with Harry as lead presenter 🙂

@@chrisrawlings8077 It's already here you're watching it now

But then the 80s happened lol

Once you added those huge air intakes, the other additions start to make sense. The purist might be tempted to remove them.

@@xpusostomos Not if he wants to drive it.

@@99percenter1 oh I don't know, if the car came it today it would have electric retractable scoops.

Happens still this day. Look at the Paganis and Koenigseggs.

Even his name sounds artistic

He is God.

@@valgehiir He already did, I believe. You should be able to find the video on his channel.

@@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X Thank you, how on earth did I miss that one

@@valgehiir I'd love to see him do a video on a Diablo!

pan68 , big overhangs, nah!

It's not all because of the designers, the real reason is the insane performance of the modern cars which requires bigger brakes.

I think they must be obsessed with being different

Consumers demand peak performance, track capability. They've lost the concept of most real-world fun.

it's bizarre isn't it? everyone prefers the purity of classic cars, light weight, tyres with sidewalls , steering feel ... and yet all manufacturers do is put on bigger wheels, more power ...

I think alfaholics gta-r is the best new car out there right now, at least someone gets it

I remember the car (probably this one) with the hand print featured in "Bilsport" magazine sometimes in the 80's. I remember the hand print as beeing white though.

@@joakimquensel597 It has to be the same car, doesn't it?

@ Yes for sure, there can't have been that many Countach in Sweden in the 80s. I wrote another post about this car. My comment has approx 20 likes so maybe you find it if you sort on popularity and scroll down. EDIT: Here is a copy of the post: As a Swede I would like to know who was that first "Swedish playboy" owner? I also remember seeing this car as a kid sometime in the 80's in a Swedish motor magazine. Must have been this car for sure because it it had the same colour but I also recall that it had a white colour hand print on one of the fenders. And come to think of it, I also remember that my dad said that someone at the company he worked for had a Countach. He worked for Atlas Copco which is part of the multi billion Wallenberg industry group. And since there can't have been that many Countach around in Sweden in the 80's my guess would be that this car was once owned by a "Wallenberger" that was Vice President or somehow part of the Atlas Copco steering board. And to make this post even longer... When I lived in Bern Swizerland around 2000-2004 there was a LP400 for sale in a small exotic car dealer with this exact colour and interior. Could it have been this car? And since the LP400 has always been my no1 dream car I was sort of playing with the thought of buying it. Can't remember the exact price but I'm pretty sure it was below CHF 200,000! Still too much money for me back then... ☹

@@joakimquensel597 if it was white vinyl decal, it would look pink on purple background.

@@davidjacobs8558 Could very well have been pink, this was like 35 years ago... 😁

Most cars interiors get darker as they age, but these just seem to get whiter and whiter...

That is a glorious comment.

I had to completely change my cars interior be able of that pictmmmm

Me; bloodshot eyes shaking like a leaf with my face buried in the leather like a dog looking for a treat.

That’s ridiculous who drinks coke out of a salt shaker

Harry would visit Jay, I'm sure. Don't know about vice versa.

@@johndrake2729 have you actually watched the Jay Leno review of this car? Jay Leno reviews a beautiful blue one that was allegedly one of the first 10 imported into North America. Leno highlighted the age old Lamborghini problem re:seats. The LP400 made for a very thin person who is 5'8. It's narrower yet longer than the mid-Eighties Countach. He could see it's appeal, loved the gear ratio e.g. very short first and a really long second gear . . . but . . . overall it's quirky but not his cup of tea.

The QV with the wing is my favourite.

I was born in 1980 so at 7 years old i was falling in love with the QV. I love the lp400 too but i gotta have the flares and useless wing on the countach of my dreams. Thats the way i was introduced to it.

As a young teenager I fell in love with the Cannonball Run Countach (black wide body with a rear wing) but later on I got to appreciate the early cars more. This will always be the ultimate car design for me. I still get goose bumps every time I see one live (which does not happen very often though).

@@DoodlezMusic 'agreed.'

@@furgulley8077 'agreed.'

unless i am suffering with a mental aberration, i SWEAR i remember seeing this car 77 UFO many years ago, in ORANGE? someone - help my ailing mind? lol! has it been re-dressed (painted differently?) recently? cheers - is flipping stunning, whatever. \m/ x

Only in Italy. She probably knew what it was too unlike over 'ere

Thanks! I loved your comment!

Joakim I think Harry remembered it a bit wrong, I have also read the report of this "Swede", but I'm pretty sure it was a Norwegian vegetable wholesale dealer. He was about 32-33 years of age when he bought it and was already then a millionaire (if I remember it right one of the richer people in Norway at that time). I guess it was a bit special then, as this was before the oil and salmon industries have had time to make the country as rich as it's now. I think he was from Sandefjord or something like this.

@@90OscarS OK but it has been featured in a Sweush magazine and another guy posted that he saw it on a car show in Västervik. But it could still hasve been a Norwegian car.

@@joakimquensel597 Yes and it might be that they're different cars, but I'm quite sure that the article said it was the first Lambo in the Nordics at that time (or at least first Countach) and that it was ordered new by this Norwegian businessman. If I remember correctly, the article told that he liked to bring it around to shows in Norway and Sweden and that he had it for quite a long time.

@@90OscarS It was probably the same car if it was this colour. I asked my dad about the Atlas Copco car. It was owned by a skilled mechanical engineer who worked on the car himself. But this was in the mid 80's and I guess it was possible for a "normal" person to own one of these (if you made some priorities in life).

Stragglers? I saw none.

Haha stragglers hehe funny

The whole coast there is rather awful; but just keep to the hills, and you'll have some of the greatest driving roads ever, and a whole array of sceneries. Unfortunately, the tarmac is going to be british style as well.

They wish!

I suppose yes (in the inland, in autumn).

Doing that now. When men were men

I don't like the thought of that......

I love the Lambo V12, but there are a few engines that can match or even beat it's sound. Colombo V12 - a GTO or LM revving out to 8k is sublime Lampredi V12 - special, a deeper note than the above BRM V16 - sounds like nothing else on this world
