The Story of the Canadian Wolves in Japan that Saved Lamborghini

Cars can be an expensive hobby, but what if money wasn’t a problem? This story follows Walter Wolf, who used his wealth and desires to reinvent the Countach, inspire countless enthusiasts, and aid in saving Lamborghini altogether.
While researching past videos I stumbled across rumblings of a Countach within the infamous Mid Night Racing Team. I decided to dig a bit deeper, but had no idea this would turn into such an involved and interesting story - I hope you enjoy it!

The Japanese was actually real crazy about the Countach that it's not only appeared in many movies and Circuit Wolf, it actually appeared in another manga that's about a boy who somehow got a LP400 from an odd source and began learning to drive well with it, even facing odds like the Ferrari Boxer and the rare Jota and the manga's aptly named... "Countach". Also, since you brought up Wolf's Kremer K3, I think you need to dive deeper into Whittington Brother's 935 K3 team also. One of the biggest weed smugglers in America in that time by using their IMSA team to do it. Also, the 1979 Le Mans win? Yea that's the same team that got implicated in the drug bust. Also, besides motor racing, they also raced planes at the Reno Air Races thus this team certainly needs a vid explaining their motives, on why they do it and how they do it on top of their racing history from planes to how they managed to win said 1979 Le Man races you mentioned and how did they move their "drugs" across the US.

I live in British Columbia and often see Mr. Wolf out with his daughter having coffee, I’ve spoke to him on occasion and he’s an interesting individual to say the least and the last of a dying breed. I’ve known who he was since about 8 years of age after receiving a slot car racing set from Santa and it having f1 wolf car. I told him the story up a the ski hill about 4 years ago and his eyes lite up.

Wow! This is a lot of information. I knew about the Wolf Specials being very important for the Countach (and by extension, Lamborghini's survival in the 70s) but this is way more than I knew about them before. Also. Anyone who played Gran Turismo 2 remembers that Lotus Europa!

@emanuelecasetta4923 Жыл бұрын

@yellowbird yeah It was one of the colors of the racing modification for the Europa. Also the rm car was used in the grindelwald special license test

@musewolfman Жыл бұрын

The reason the F1 wing didn't work was that the Countach is naturally balanced already. The wing made too much rear downforce and caused it to understeer severely. The ones you see on the production Countach make next to no downforce.

I know you are always asking for video ideas. There is already a great short documentary, but I think this story deserves a HuntersMoon version. The crowdfunded record at the Nurburgring with the 2017 dodge viper gtrs organized by Russ Oasis. And you could even throw some more facts about the incredible dodge viper and all of its still current lap records that it holds!

@DatOneCat Жыл бұрын

The only Mid Night Countach I've ever heard off up until now was a red one on a Speedhunters article a while ago. Had no wing, but was parked in some sort of parking lot. Good to know there was another one in white and was quite active. Speaking of white cars, I wonder if somehow this particular white Countach inspired the white Testarossa in Wangan Midnight. Albeit, in a small way?

@CMDRSweeper Жыл бұрын

Probably, for an example the tuner mentioned here that could tune anything, seems to have been the basis of Kitami Jun. Really interesting to see where the slight bit of truth to the Wangan Midnight franchise comes from.

The countach is from 1972. It looked like a UFO In 72. It was produced until 1989. So it's a 70s car.
