  • Thanks for all the comments made. To answer some of the comments that are regularly made: The "green car" is a classic Fiat 500, 1975 vintage. Not a VW Beetle. The paint is original. Up close she has scars from use. But I have a good detailer. The engine is V12, on tick over I accept that is does sound a bit like a V8. But different at rev's, check the other vids on my channel. She is a QV model, 4 valves, 5.2L V12 with 6 x downdraft Weber carbs. Around 455BHP 100% original Lambo, not kit / replica. šŸ™„ Rear tyres are 345/35 R15. Only Pirelli make them. Not cheap! The Front are 225/50 R15 Appreciate the engagement and positive or negative, it's good to see such interest! šŸ˜Š

    So many of us had a poster of this car on our bedroom wall. Thatā€™s a beauty.

    imagine designing a car that still looks and sounds AMAZING 40 years later truly a marvel.

    The Countach is not a car, it's a piece of art.
  • @Whoopdido777
    As a kid I always dreamed of having one of these. The look, the sound, the doors. Everything about them just screamed awesome.
  • @nidstang373
    I don't care what any of the purists say - the flashy 80s version with all of the wings and flares is the best iteration of this car and still goes down as one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
  • Probably the ONLY car that still looks fast going backwards at 1mph out of a garage, awesome machine.
  • @MadHatterND
    Thatā€™s the best ā€œcar stereoā€ Iā€™ve ever heard! Nothing else needed except for keeping the window down at all times to hear that beautiful music!
  • @0megacron
    Easily one of the top 5 car designs ever made. I can't see one without thinking it's about to go into hover mode and blast out into space!

    2 of the most iconic cars Italy has produced in 1 mans garage. What an absolute legend šŸ‘

    When I was a kid, a guy a few blocks from my home had a white Countach in his garage. I would always jump on my bike and pedal over there hoping to get a glimpse of this piece of art.
  • @HigherRPMs
    One of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever laid my eyes and ears upon . Truly a stellar vehicle .

    I grew up in the exotic car industry. I remember these cars shaking our house when my dad would start them up in the garage when i was a kid. The 80s exotics will always have my heart.
  • @Zefroniac
    It's not the sound that does it, it's the condition of this 40 year old masterpiece. MINT!
  • @mysticwolf75
    This was my dream car growing up! I had posters of it all over my walls, models, die cast vehicles, remote control cars (which was the closest I ever got to driving one šŸ˜…) I did, however, get my photo taken next to one at the local car show when I was in high school šŸ™‚
  • 40 yrs. old and still more kick ass looking than any exotic car before or since. A design masterpiece.
  • @paulwebb2479
    Still to this day, the most beautiful car ever built or designed. Screw your hyper cars and all that rubbish, this was on another level! šŸ”„šŸ™Œ
