Lamborghini Countach: Dream Car Defined [Part 2]

[kirkconway]

ummmmmm when you see and hear that countach being driven by valentino

Balboni? Is Incredeible.

I mean what Dave Davis say's about a 12 cylinder sports car is totally true.

I mean theres nothing else like it anywhere,

you just wanna listen to it forever,

and never get tired of it.

mechanical majesty.

the Quattrovalvole is the best of the countach's to get,

Ill take mine in french blue with gold wheel's.

[DigoFei]

Balboni`s nice driving skills hahaha!!!

Perfect Video, perfect car!

[falcaonet]

In one word: COUNTACH!!! (which means holy macaroni)

[mcadarette]

6 Gremlin owners don't like this video.

[nmarez]

this is why i like old super cars more than new ones. brutal look, raw power and no electric gadgets. just u and a car just like it has to be.

[099psp]

LAMBORGHINI RULES FERRARI F*cKS!!!!!!!

[dkgoodness]

the car that actually pushed me to like cars. first saw it when i was 7, still loox damn good

[imbluz]

This car is the BOMB, and I love Morley Safer.

[bjondo71]

Thanks to the person who posted this.... Haven't seen this in 25 years. I was 13 when I saw this and taped it. Watched it so many times, the tape broke. Awesome. When cars were cars. Best design ever.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@bjondo71 ive got this tape in my stash somewheres. but not a functional vcr. lol. as soon as i find one its getting copied over to dvd lol

[deepmelody1991]

Finally, I learned what to do when faced with the task of parking a Countach: Heads up, bottoms out. I'll remember that.

[Berzerk13]

Thank you for posting this.

I really enjoyed it :)

[TrevorDeanM]

It's the sound. Ohhh THE SOUND.

[SKYLENGT]

this is the best lamborghini design ever..

i dont really lik the new ones lik murcielago n gallardo cos there is some germany design in it.. the diablo looks good too with some american design (Chrysler Corporation) bu the countach is the king of them all..

[forexpreneur]

I am a huge Ferrari fan, but the Countach is one of my top 5 favorite cars. One of the others is the Lambo LM002.

[et666007]

Like they say in the movie "Highlander" There can be only one! My first true love Lamorghini Countach :D

[Molo9000]

Today most poeple hate u for owning a car like that.....

Shame.

[Soulmindseeker]

who cares what the people think, I would love to have one of these .

[wldntknow]

w8 until the newest lamborghini comes out. the lamborghini gallardo -instanada-sp. its comeing out in 2014. long way but up well

[invsha]

Love that sound at 4:56

[bgggbb]

That's why Countach is a loose translation! This thing is impossible to drive I hear, But it's still my favirote super car ever made! Nothing looks as good!

[dieguitointerista]

King of the beasts

[BeliUsiki]

I would call a taxi because I wouldn't want to drive it?! Lol are you mad?

[MainVuper]

The question is:

R u suficient mad 2 drive it :P

[capellamusic]

OMG, white Lamborghini Countach, my all-time favorite since I was a kid. I wish someday I may at least drive one! Until that day I at least have my 1:18 Bburago die cast one :P .

[ziennc]

OHH that Ggolden era! X3

4:32

[Cashforwardx10]

I remeber this when I was a little kid and this car has stuck in my mind all these years. Magnificent.

[carlossaranillo]

same hear man:) born in 80's I remeber this when I was a little kid and this car has stuck in my mind all these years. Magnificent.

[saad1505]

thanks for the up load!

[mrjost55]

I like the guy's statement - everyone should own a 12 cylinder car before they die - definitely going on my bucket list. I doubt I'd own one in a lifetime, but I will make sure that I drive one.

[lequinhotso]

white!!

awesome

[Dharokgreatax]

a white countash i HOT

[lambocj]

.......... man, i used to hate how that car looked but recently ive grown to appriciate its look, and now i love it................... but not more then my gallardo

[IIIIY0UTUBEIIIIIIIII]

vamos a contar un poco de historia de lamborghini,,,todo sabemos que tenian un duelo con enzo ferrari, cuando audi compro lamborghini era tal desastre su calidad de coches que la auditoria tardó mucho mas,ahora en la fabrica de lamborghini solo hay cajas con el logo volkswagen

[red2alpha]

This IS my dream car.

[heyjana]

What did those little kids say in Italian?

[fiat216]

The kid says "The car costs 250 milions of lire"...I'm sure because I'm italian...

[red2alpha]

They said,"This is a bad ass car!"

[flappospammo]

STILL the ultimate supercar !

VIVA LAMBORGHINI !!!

[rjspear]

I have had mine for 5 years now and it requires some tlc to keep it going, but it is great to drive and of course to look at.

[Chalino696]

Damn that window in the end was dirty with all those bugs!!! If I was a bug, Id want to go out that way!!! XD

[nawelote]

ke kañaso loco

[nawelote]

ke kañaso loco

[nannytenerife]

it hurts not being able to drive one ever, I just love it.

[ronmucha99]

Driving it hurts more than dreaming about it. A total pain in the ass (10 out of 10 stress level). But I still love it anyway.

[nannytenerife]

hahaha! makes me feel a bit better, id still buy one if I earned enough though.

[pollapellos]

better than sex

[602780573]

achhhh... this document is one of the best what I seen in my life. Thank you so much for posting these wonderful pictures. Fantastic engine sound, great views, nice reaction of the people on streets. And... flash back to 80's time of my childhood when I had diecast models of these dream cars.

[abcpools]

The reporter was a pansy. Scared of anything, all that p c crap makes me sick. Who cares about mpg and stuff like that. I am 38 and have plenty of money for any car in production today. I am getting a black Countach for my 40th birthday, and an 80's party with the cast of Miami Vice.

[Arturaskopytinas]

have you alreafy got your countach?

[abcpools]

No this year it's the Scarab!

[Arturaskopytinas]

sorry but what the hell is scarab? i'm sorry if i had money for any car i just couldn't wait and bought countach today.

[abcpools]

Thats becouse you are 21 and I am 38.

[Arturaskopytinas]

so what's the difference? if you love cars the age just doesn't matter:)

[abcpools]

It is call self control, a very important skill at 21 you do not have. Did I mention Lituania is not a real country. Somday you may be blesed to spend some time in the best country on earth, then you may become a man.

[Arturaskopytinas]

what is your definition of a man? a man is that who was born in US? i guess that people from other country are like aliens from other planets to you because of your pathetic and miserable geographical knowledge. i bet that you were that guy who was asked by clarkson to name some countries of europe and he was like australia maybe? Wow and I'm really impressed how you googled some facts about my country and now know how small it is, so you should know that it is called LITHUANIA, not Lituania.

[abcpools]

How many people visit America each year, and stay. How many of litalooseria or how ever you say it. Did you find out what the Scarab was? I an a very good driver. You see I have been able drive on roads I pay thousands of dollars each year to maintain, unlike your beat down junky roads. Anyhow I prefer boats to cars. I have owned 30+ great cars. I know only have plans of one more "great" car you and I both can agree on, Countach!!!!!!

[Arturaskopytinas]

I'll be looking forward for your vids, how you'll be hammering in your Countach on the best roads in the world of the best country.

[Arturaskopytinas]

and all that control stuff is pretty much bullshit, because there are 2 types of petrolheads. first type loves and have passion for cars and nothing will stop them from buying such car if they have money obviously. second type consists of some fat rich fucks who buy such cars just to impress their girlfriends and can't drive them for shit. it's a shame that sometimes the best cars a driven by complete clots. btw post some vids when you'll finally get your countach.

[ChicagoIrishman]

Excellent feature. It could have been a commercial, but Safer does a good job. As for the car, BELLISSIMO!

[Pravoizavlijesvijeta]

I totally agree F41Driver. Thanks. I really enjoyed watching this video.

[F41Driver]

Thanks to the uploader for these videos! It's great to look back at the Countach in it's heyday.

[kief1suth]

really cool video!

a guy that lived a few blocks away from me when I was a kid used to have a yellow one, you'd see him drive it every 8 months or so lol

i've loved them since

[ronald8990]

my favorite car!

[jgstargazer]

A red Lamborghini parked outside my business one day and before you knew it a big crowd gathered around it. It emptied my store!

[ryan000001]

Guy drives like a mad man! Go on my son!

[mpescatori]

"Countach" (pronounced "cun-tAsh" is an expression of surprise and admiration in Modenese, a dialect similar to Bolognese, in North-central Italy.

It equates to more that just "WOW"

"Holy Cow"? Go to any Bible Belt preacher and he can tell you all you need about that, and it has nowt to do with Italy.

Regards

[socalao]

I'd still roll this car to the club anyday.

[aniston112]

true drivers can handel a manual, if you can't then you need to learn in order to feel the exp.

[jasonhdvideoman]

i saw countach back in 86 in orlando park at the orlando mall people were looking at it saying wow and thing like that it was owned by a manger frome amray the guy who owned one thing he did like about had no room for a super big subwoofer i guess you canat have every thing

[lambdavi]

>>countach means holy cow!<<

No, sir, it does not !

No Italian would ever name a car after a curseword.

Please rethink your stereotypes.

[Panditha666]

SHUT YOUR MOUTH FERRARI LOVER!! go butt fuck someone!

[mpescatori]

I did, she said it was waaay better than with you...

[babbsiscool]

oh come one holy cow is no curse word and if they are too build something like that they will name it something liek that.

[evilfulana]

super cool

[dlbdev]

Still my absolute favorite of all the Supercars. Thanks for posting this.

[logwind]

What a great upload!

[indigoblue555]

Lambo had built and tested a super Countach (extensive use of carbon fibre and over 500 hp )Unfortunately,due to rich markets demanding of safer, and easier super cars,with better antipollution level,they had to give in =

[evilfulana]

super cool

[indigoblue555]

This car was styled by Gandini for the great bodymaker Bertone who had been requested by Lamborghini for a new supercar-

Bertone factory was based in North West Italy and when the first prototype was just finished (not still rolling) an old partner of Bertone could confidentially have a glance - This old workman in front of such a smashing beauty was wordless just pronouncing in the typical idiom of that part of Italy "Countach!!!"which actually means WOW ( I can't believe what I'm seeing) =

[growling66]

I can't see anything old in it...it's a timeless beauty

[uyesu]

Did you see the car? :-)

[socalao]

LOL That guy was a car critique! haha what were we thinking! Axl bar mustach!

[madjidt]

It is so old that many people forgot when these cars were made, and think it is a new one. And you have to shell out six figures to get something that goes as fast, and gets more attention anyway. They are nasty tempered, hard to see out of, noisy, bumpy, and a hell of a lot of fun to drive.

[BillSchwenke]

One eBay, the lower priced, less then perfect Countach can go for around $50K. These are aircraft on wheels. If only they could manage an automatic 12cyl tranny for 'em!! To me, Countach translates to 'wow', but I heard that many years ago, there may be no literal English definition

[mannyfresh10229]

countach means holy cow!

[BillSchwenke]

Now wait a minute, I read a Lambo book that told me the above, but even so, there is no direct English translation from what I know, it is loosly compared in English. Initially I heard it may be more related to an English curse word. Essentially a phrase of astonishment

[BillSchwenke]

I'd like to hear other's views before I buy your answer... I did read a few Countach books.... though it's been some time. I like Powerslide7's answer!!

[Death666wish]

automatic? an auto lambo? where the hell do u get ur ideas from? i think the automatic transmittion in a sports car is the dumbest idea ever, i'd like to give the idiot who put an auto in a sports car a peice of my mind, what a dumbass he must've been, probably din't pass his drivers test.

[rocketpunch12210]

FYI. The Bugatti Veyron had a DSG tranny. Driving pleasure wise, there is nothing that can top the feel of a full manual, and still in most cases the fastest way to shift. However, with the advancement of transmission like the DSG (which by the way Porsche and BMW is also developing), it will soon taken full manual over as the most efficient way to shift. That doesn't mean it is fun thought. ;)

[Death666wish]

the whole concept of the bugatti doesn't really support having a manual in it.

yeah i know about this, companies (i don't know which) say that this is the 21st century and a manual transmition is stone age tech, actually when i'm drivin my car i sumtimes feel that, kinda that i'm actually driving the car, i'm changin gears, so i'm actually involved in the proccess, well, bottom line they wanna make everything automatic, but there's nuthin sporty about an auto man, it sux.

[BillSchwenke]

How do you handle a drink in one hand while shifting? I don't care for too much activity to enjoy the driving experience... Both options are good to have, bottom line

[Death666wish]

i can handle a drink easily, i can talk on the fone, drink and drive at the same time, not a good idea, but it's easy for me, and anyway i never said anything about racing, actually a lot of racing sports don't use manuals, the whole feel i get when shifting the gear if i din't drive my can in a while is great, and i drive a lancer, so i will have to have a manual with a sports car, that's how i alwayz felt.

[BillSchwenke]

I can imagine the expense of going through clutches for myself anyway, I'm not good with shifting and my GM autos are renowned for how good they are, not the best, but used when updating hotrods American cars anyway. It is personal taste, but I still enjoy driving without all the shifting

[glhs386]

Shoot yourself.

[BillSchwenke]

I don't own a gun, sorry... but I stubbed my toe a number of times! Ouch!

[DanTheMan702]

haha good 1

[BillSchwenke]

I love auto trannies, I grind cluthes to death ya know. Most people driving exotics here don't race them, they just take them out on rare occasion on regular street runs

[knutfheifer]

@Death666wish the first lamborghini built had an auto box from a buik skylark, lamborghini had a dream that his gearboxes should weigh less so this was his idea, also to keep the air conditioning down to a respect of size as it whined over the engine noise, this caused the pistons to half in two and valve heads would fall off with heat, so he changed it to a manual gearbox from mr.virginio ferrari

[Death666wish]

@knutfheifer i don't know when automatics became lighter than manual transmissions, but i'm pretty glad it didn't work out for him.

[knutfheifer]

@Death666wish me too, it was a crazy idea at the time, the ferrari rainbow was another concept car that was to adapt this feature but failed

[killabot2]

the boy is saying .."it cost leeess ... 250 (125.000 todays €)

[powerslide7]

by the beard of Zeus. Lamborghinis are Rock and Roll

[mfuji01]

HOW DO PEOPLE ACT TODAY THO?

[madjidt]

The same.
