Every kid in the 1990’s had a Lamborghini Countach poster on their bedroom wall! I was one of them.

Those who found the Countach hard to drive were probably comparing it with today's supercars which can be easily driven even by an old lady. The most common complaints on the Countach were hard clutch, no power steering and bad aircond, problems that can be easily upgraded.

It is a very particular car, but very beautiful, especially aesthetically. It is probably a car for short people (I saw that you touch the roof of the car with your head) and it should not be comfortable for the driver. And you're not the only one who rides without shoes: your pedals probably have very close together, but if you get used to riding without shoes it's not so bad: you have much more sensitivity that way.

Cool video. These are finally getting the recognition they deserve. Most of the stories of it being a bad car are told by those who haven’t experienced them. The car was the fastest production car made at one point. It is incredibly comfortable, once you are inside. I think that they get a bad rap for two reasons: 1). They weren’t maintained properly 2). For a long time they weren’t taken seriously. They were a drug dealer’s relic. Once they passed the used car phase and moved in to the classic car category they are garnering more respect. That said, they do require all of your attention to drive. They aren’t easy. That makes the drive incredibly rewarding. No other car delivers this experience. One thing is for certain - they will never make another car like this again.

@Mark Ferguson - InvestFourMore They are very fun to drive. A few hundred pounds lighter than a mustang, same power. No matter where you go, you are the only one on the road with one. I deal with the same picture and video takers you do with the lamborghini. They are built like an 80s Ford, but mine are highly maintained and all the classic 80s Ford foibles have been eliminated permanently. Have fun with your fleet!

Hi Mark! I must say that of all the reviews I've ever seen (and that's a lot of them), I found this the most entertaining and informative one! Great job! Congratulations on your ownership of this icon! I've always wanted one, but never quite financially able. I've ridden in my friends 5000 S and a Diablo. Such cool and fun cars! My DD replica, Red with gold wheels like yours is almost back from the upholsterer with new white leather on real Countach interior panes! I then re wire the car, and hope to hit the streets this summer! Next year I plan to go tipple white! Thank you for the great vid!

I have a 88 Lamborghini countach as well and mine is white it was given to me by my grandfather when i graduated high-school back in 2005. I love the car , i have two other lambos as well a 2000 diablo i inherited in 09 when myn gpaw passed also white with red interior and a 2011 gallardo that i got cheap because high mileage and it needed a clutch. I love em tho and thing is the countach gets way more attention than the other two do

The only added extra here is that this car is probably easier to look after with having fuel injection because it starts much easier everytime in all conditions, but loses around 50hp. Dont forget this Countach isnt a low bodied 400s, which would definitely make you struggle with headroom.

I drove several Countach's for Dr. Berglund as a summer side job in Estes Park. This was the late 80's when EP wasn't as crowded with tourists as it is now. Favorite drive was out McGregor ranch rd. And the end of the summer my left leg had much more definition than the right... thanks clutch! Also had the displeasure of replacing several clutches that summer due to the doc being a notorious cheapskate. (Pd my way through college working on luxury/exotics) Absolutely the WORST car made by Lamborghini. My Jalpa was easier to drive, service, and work on than the Countach. Dm me if you need any service as I'm in Loveland.

Why cant anyone outfit this car with 360 camera. It wont drastically chage the outside but then you will need an infotainment screen. So if one can figure out a way to hide it somehow to keep the interior original?
