To be fair, in early 1990’s I bought a 1991 SL500 in Houston and drove it to Seattle…and by the second day..when getting gas..people would literally see me crawling out of the car on all fours…the seats were truly designed to cripple if you went farther than getting a Starbucks in your neighborhood.

It has always been the Countach for me, even today. The design was just so far ahead of its time, even now it looks contemporary. Strictly speaking, if my memory serves me right, the Testarossa wasn't the Countach's direct competitor, it was in fact the 512 BB. Whether it was the 512 BB or the Testarossa, I always saw Lamborghini as being way ahead in its forwardness in design.

I believe that the interior of the testarosa and such improved over subsequent years. I saw another video of that model elsewhere; the gear shift looked a lot different and the driver commented as to how easy it was to shift and drive. I hear your experience and wondered why, but I can see why. Thanks for the nostalgia.

The testarossa is a traditionally way better looking car but the countach is a much cooler looking car.

The Countach was in a league of its own. Nothing like we'd ever seen before so much that I had a problem remembering all the complex details of its design back in '87. Maybe it's personal bias but the Countach was love at first sight.

The Countach *was* a SpaceShip in the 80's for sure. Not a daily driver for sure either.

One looks like a car, one doesn't. I want the one that looks otherworldly.

Fun fact; In the late '80s Lamborghini built one Countach as a carbon fibre monocoque, rather than a steel spaceframe chassis. It did the rounds of the car magazines at the time. And then they crashed it. Deliberately, to see how a carbon fibre structure would behave in an accident. At that time no manufacturer was producing carbon fibre chassis road cars, it had only become routine in F1 a few years earlier.

I grew up in the 80's, so I grew up with both these cars...it was a great time, they are just awesome machines to behold!

I’m gonna have to go with the Countach, it’s just so outrageous and insane. Could you imagine being in the ‘70s when this thing came out? Unbelievable. Interesting decision for me because I have always preferred the Ferrari brand overall.

Funny story about the Miami vice Testarossa. Jay Leno said he was talking to Michael Mann, (Miami Vice creator) & Mann told Jay that the 1st Testarossa they used was a fake because the show was low budget. Somehow Enzo Ferrari found out about the show & found out that Mann was using a fake Ferrari. Mann said Enzo called him & said "why aren't u using a real Ferrari? Why the fake one?" Mann replied that it made sense because it looked like a Ferrari, but was 1/4 the price. "Plus who cares. The viewer can't tell the difference & it's still been a great boost for your company Enzo, right?" Enzo replied, "I know your viewer can't tell the difference & yes it's been a great advertisement for all of us here at Ferrari motors, but the problem is I can it's a fake & the idea of anyone using a fake Ferrari is killing me. Look. I'll give u a real Testarossa to use on your show. Just stop using that fake one" Mann (very surprised but thrilled) agreed & next day Mann told his writers & other staff that on the next Miami vice episode, they HAVE to blow up the fake Ferrari. He told them to start coming up with ideas as to how we can blow up the car for the next episode" On the next episode the car was blown up. And he never told them why he wanted the car blown up until Enzo shipped the new Testarossa a few days later & Mann drove it onto the film set while the crew & actors were shooting the very next Miami Vice episode.

As a kid in the `80 , I loved both cars, I spend hours looking at them in magazines. Also had them in my collection of toy cars. Such iconic cars.❤

I remember reading Road and Track Magazine during the 80's and drooling over both of these cars. I always liked the aesthetics of both, but preferred the Testarossa. I've never driven either, but, for those interested, watch Jay Leno's review of his Testarossa. He drove one daily for years and gives a pretty honest assessment of it. If I recall correctly, he said he liked it, but, like this reviewer, said there are better driving cars. Leno described driving the Countach at high speeds as like driving a brick because the aerodynamics aren't particularly good despite it looking like its aerodynamics should be efficient and stable. Actually, I always preferred the Porsche 911 and its variants to both of these cars (particularly the 930 Turbo), and would get one today, if I could afford it - which I can't. When I was 15 I figured I was going to live in a mansion, drive a 930 Turbo and date a series of supermodels until I died. I'm still waiting for that whole process to begin.

I took my just-purchased 348TS out for an evening drive on quiet roads a few weeks back and this exact Testarossa TES7Y - I assume piloted by Richard - out of nowhere appeared next to us. Felt like being visited by a unicorn, drove in formation for some time. Very cool memory to begin owning such a cool car. One thing that I think people often forget to mention about cars is how different they can look at night, and a Testarossa looks incredible, especially one as pristine as this.

If there had been an internet in 1985, the Countach QV would have broken it into a million pieces. My Countach poster was two metres long, came from California and was the showpiece of my bedroom as a teenager. I also had Porsche 959, Ferrari Daytona Spider and Koenig Competition Evolution posters. Only the best!

The Countach came from outer space. So stylish, unconventional and brutally shaped, looks more like a spaceship than a car. Any other contemporary competitor was overshadowed by its design. Testarossa and 512BB were two wonderful cars, with a more polite and elegant design by Pininfarina, but were way less emotional than the Lambo. The raging bull's masterpiece re-defined the idea of an "exotic car", and not just because of its futuristic doors. I saw all the generations of this model in the Lamborghini factory and I have to say are all some really impressive cars. Are way more brutal even of the more recent models. A real "Raging Bull".

Fantastic review great work 👍

Harry Metcalfe has both and has done big trips in both - the Countach has been to the South of France and Italy many times, the Testarossa went to the south of France carrying an outboard boat engine in its frunk, and has been deep into the Sahara desert... both deceptively usable cars!

And great musical choice - very fitting for the 80's! 😆 However, though purely subjective I cannot agree on the attractiveness of the Testarossa being top tier at Ferrari(btw this isn't the first Testarossa there was another over 20 yrs prior). At Ferrari's Finali Mondiali show Daytona in '16, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by (3)F40 & (2)288 GTO among many others & this solidified to me the Testarossa though certainly very exotic is Enzo aside one of the most clashing Ferraris stylistically (exception being the front design). Maybe shocking is a better word. It has absolutely no chance against an F40 or 288 GTO! Or how about a 275 NART Spider?! Even more modern models like the 458 are more beautiful, graceful, & exciting IMO. Though nearly disastrous from a driver's & aerodynamics point of view, the Countach in this iteration has proven timeless in design. How not to be awestruck? In fact, the very Countach that starred in the movie "Cannonball Run" & pretty much started the model's craze that continues to this day(in the US at least) was recently put in the registry of historic vehicles here in the U.S.! It's now in display I believe in D.C. or somewhere in the NE. The REALLY. crazy part? From the early 80's I actually grew up not a mile around the corner from this car, when its owner Ron Rice(founder of Hawaiian Tropic) built his mansion on the ocean in Ormond Beach, Florida! We all knew Ron, & though it was routine seeing it around town it never grew old! Us car crazed kids always went WOW every time we saw it. The funny thing is Ron always seemed to drive it like an old lady! He owned it many, many years(maybe still does), & in fact the Florida plate is still on the car where it's on display now!

I had posters of both cars on my walls of my bedroom as a kid but I always preferred Ferrari’s over Lamborghinis and Ferrari was my favourite car company until Pagani came around putting my old favourite into a close 2nd. Quite ironic that Horatio Pagani used to work for Lamborghini. But still to this day I prefer the Testarossa to the Countash but I would still have both cars today as I love them both and a symbol of my childhood

I drove both machine in the late 80's !!! Almost every day! --- Remember those good old days, playing Test Drive on the Commodore Amiga.

The Countach is without a doubt the ultimate dream super car to own. It’s a fighter jet for the road. Just looking at it gets your heart racing. Must own one before you die.

Well untill you realize that it is actually a pretty bad car for driving.

"Fighter jet" that drives like a tractor. But lambo has always made tractors so it's no surprise lmao 😂😂😂

Loved every minute, watched fully! For my it is the Countach, I am looking for one and YES am even considering the Kitcar!!! Why as you said, it already feels like one, so why not make it a bit easier on myself. Thank you for your vid. I am like number 949 Ohhh yeah.

relaxing , well balanced and realistic review

Opening audio sounds vaguely like the classic Accolade game “Test Drive”, nice subtle reference :)

The Coutach is amazing, but the TR is the one I would really love to have if it was simply which one I like the best.

I'll take the Lambo which can have its engine serviced in the car as opposed to the Ferrari which needs its engine removed to change the cam belts, etc.

Lamborghini for me, but Miami Vice made the Testorossa super cool. I was lucky enough to be driving an S3 Esprit Turbo ( my best friends car ) back in the very late 80’s to early 90’s, it had a S4 engine in it when the newer car was released, and an updated boost. It was so fast and so practical to be used as a daily driver which it was. Prior to the Espirit my buddy had a Lotus Sunbeam, actually he owned a few, both the S1 and the stunning S2, so fast, the original sleeper. We raced them all in that, 911, Quattro, Cosworth it beat them all except flat out on the motorway where it’s brick like aerodynamics hindered it. Strangely though, I had a Mk1 3 door Escort in 84/5 which would be worth crazy money today. I also had a Mk1 Astra GTE, hardly any left on the roads today, Mk1 Opel Manta ( can’t remember the last time I saw one on the road ) , R5 Gordini Turbo ( rare as hell these days ) 1275 GT Mini Clubman ( rebored to a 1340cc ) a mint Peugeot 205 CTi, Honda Civic CRX ( the second version 1990 ) amongst others. If I’d kept 2 or 3 of these I’d be able to buy a Lamborghini from the proceeds of selling them, if only I’d known that back then.

Countach was a leap in futuristic design that snapped everyone into attention. I love those massive tires too. It just looks so beefy and muscled up like a body builder.

Two lovely 80’s icons. Love both ❤️

Nice video and what’s the name of the music ?? Someone? Knows that ?? Thank you

Wow two awesome classics. I had a toy Countach when I was a boy back in the seventies. I clearly haven’t grown up as I now have a model one on my shelf at home with several other classics. I think my most recent one is the Jaguar XJ220, beautiful looking car. 😍

Sweet rides!! Absolute classics!!!

That intro music alone brings me back to that era. Truly badass video and truly badass cars.

what is that intro song called?

Eh, i saw the Cannoonball run movie and the Countach was the only one for me ever since if picking a "supercar". And then later in the 80s, i was with my elder brother to a car meetup thing and got to take a testride in BOTH Countach and Testarossa. And yeah, sure the Testarossa's advantages are nice and all. But the Countach just takes the cake without even trying, simple as that, even with a few downsides. Although the Countach i was in had powersteering, didn't know that wasn't normal. There was also some racing done and the Countach won against everything except a couple of extreme dragracer cars. Although if the powersteering wasn't standard, i wouldn't be surprised if the engine had been trimmed beyond normal as well. It was definitely that kind of people.

Only love the Countach. Superb video. Looking forward to more reviews.

Great video, but it would have been more accurate to compare the Countach with the F40. The Testarossa was a GT, and the Countach and the F40 were supercars.

I disagree. The Countach and Testarossa were direct competitors in the 1980's. The F40 was a special 'race car' although we will review an F40 at some point.

I drove them both in 1990..... .... in TestDrive on the commodore Amiga. 😁 Such crazy icons, had both of them as a poster on my kids room wall...

Thanks for sharing this video 👌 I realy love those cars ✌🇳🇱👍😎

@1:15, you say that the Testarossa was powered by a flat 12 engine which implies this was a boxer engine, which it wasn’t. Ferrari used a 180deg V12 which although flat like a boxer engine, isn’t the same. Semantics you’ll say but I just wanted to clarify. A great video overall btw

Yeah the boxer engine would have a journal for each opposed piston whereas the 180 degree v12 would have one journal for each pair.
