Mine: 'MAD' Bim...  

.. probably not unnoticed :-) ...

Stealthy lines indeed ! Bim ...  

... HOT !!! :-)

I was going to say Bad a$$ but that would be 2 words! So did you drive the Lambo? If yes, how was it? If you were my age, it was every kid's dream car. -MW

every generation dream:) Best D

... you asking this now makes me wonder if i had the chance to drive one (road)car in a lifetime ... which one would i choose ? Supposing i could drive it for a week ... . Countach F40 McLaren F1 250 GTO Murcielago LP-640/670 tough choice :-) And yes, nex... 

... to cool the oven in the back :-) Cool Bim ...  

Actually an icon of the seventies and eighties !

:) Regards, ED-209

Indeed ED ! The Countach was actually so special it blew everybody's mind ... it became an instant icon more than any other car ever produced ... thanks to the outrageous shape !

.. it really couldn't be compared to a diamond i think :-) ... the 'lines' hmm hmmm on this car will never ever again be outclassed by any other car to come ....

.. and now it's a classic futuristic car ... would fit perfectly in a post-modem Woody Allen movie ... with Woody Allen driving it on an unknown planet in the far future :-) ...

Certainly for those days, but in my opinion the real raging Lambo bull is the Murcielago, designed by our own Luc00 !!!

.. during the nineties we all laughed when we saw the Italian from around the corner driving his Countach, making all kinds of jokes about the 'bad' quality of his car .... oh boy, little did we know .... At a certain point a lot of us found this car to b... 

needless to say that countach is a cornerstone in car history and a clear design rupture after the miura. From a pure design perspective it is very interesting indeed but not my cup of tea.

... i would rather give a more fluently-lined car this credit .. but with 455 hp on tap the 'stewing' was certainly available :-) Filip

.. when you see this car from any angle ... maybe the WOW describes it best of all :-) Bim

That is overly cruel, but once the fibreglass flares, wings and fascias started being added on...the amazing LP400 shape was ruined. Imagine a Miura wth those add-ons...

Hi Ben, i just googled LP-400 pictures .... . No matter how i like this 'modern' Countach with the add-ons etc ... the original LP400 shape is indeed an incredible masterpiece ... BUT ... the newer version actually could be seen a a 'new' Countach, a diff... 

...an Italian car day and we were looking at a few Countachs. The LP500s and the ones with the >5litre V12 and the even more crazy side skirts, and other bits and pieces. While not very enthusiastic about them, we definitely agreed that they served the... 

.. mainly because no other car has been like this one ... except a few later Lambo's (a bit) ....

in the sense of being so much more than just performance. It is showing off, it divides opinions, it is passion. Other cars have followed. Hence the vision statement. br, Dirk

All the above you say is soo true ... but all of the above together has never been equalized by another car i think ... . We can easily say the Countach is something special .... it's ... see the comment under here from Emil ..... :-)

...the name itself is the best single word to describe it: "Countach: an exclamation of astonishment in the local Piedmontese language — generally used by men on seeing an extremely beautiful woman." Emil

COUNTACH .. any car-enthusiast will shout this out when seeing one ! Bim

In a beautiful city, with beautiful people, a man wearing sunglasses mutters in awe, the word "countach." A beautiful woman and a beautiful Lamborghini car are both in this man's line of sight. Imagine the hilarious confusion and possibilities...

The BEST !

BE A ST ;-)

‎ perfetto!

Countach! (Italian phrase for holy-cow) Holy-cow Ay-Carumba Some might say "OMG."

...as in the car 80s sexy-ness....LOL

nt

... which describes the Countach in a good way ! Bim

That's all! Tim

.... in Flemish means ... Miracle :)

.. ehh .. Gorgeous ... :-) .. Gorgeous could be a way to describe it ... but then there's the Miura :-) Filip

.. a bit more power ? :-)

This was one of THE best movies to me as a kid ... and i still enjoy watching it from time to time :-) Bim

a Countach for me. Sadly can't afford one, but if & when I will do Gumball 3000 with it.

.. be able to afford one ... so can i come with you on the Gumball ??? :-) Bim
