Lamborghini Countach - When Outrageous Was Possible - Petrolicious
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
There was a time when an art form known as coachbuilding existed.
Back then, the coachbuilder did not have to answer to a CFO.
Back then, the coach builder did not have to compromise his vision due to government regulations.
Back then, the outrageous was possible.
The Lamborghini Countach could only have been born then.

pretty sure this is the saying for a Rolex or Patek.. cant recall which one..
Sure, the design of the Aventador is outrageous, but the Countach is just out of this world. An insane looking car that will never be replicated.

If you were a kid in the 80's, you probably had a poster of one of these on your wall. I still think they're very cool today. Great video!

What a flawless example of this insane machine. This is the exact car that adorned every '80's kid's bedroom wall...white, with all the wings and scoops, with a scantily clad blonde of course, strutting between it and some palm trees.

You're Californian right? In Denmark we all wanted the black one.
The combination of honesty and passion in this video is almost unreal, the list of flaws with the vehicle are all pointed out yet somehow make the car seem that much more appealing. The videography and soundtrack to this video are stunningly brilliant, I love how every angle creates an image of a distant time, when things were maybe less practical, but less regulated and kind of better in a way This video is beautiful.
Watching him shift and hearing that engine growl (even on phone speakers) puts a smile on my face. I had the same posters on my wall.
This and the Miura were the pinnacle of Lambo, they have never matched these looks. Magnificent.
Absolutely uncompromising, incredible presence. And those wheels! Oh Lawdy Lawd! Looks good in white too.
Isn't this the same dude that has the Ferrari Lusso? Great taste in cars brother. Naturally as a kid the Countach was the dream car.
Best video on KZread about the Countach. Down to Earth info regardless of the dreams we ALL had when kids. Just about sexiness and looks. Who didn't grow up as a teenager dreaming about it? Thanks for the video!!!
Just an awesome car... decades after its release. It really is a space ship!
I have watched this Petrolicious at least 12 times, and every time it brings a smile to my face, to think one day I'm going to own one of these almost brings a tear to my face.
Cinematography was simply astounding. Really fitting for this iconic car.
James, your words are spot on perfect, so honest and wise. words some to my mind: "Everything can be forgiven when something is so beautiful". The Countach is music for the eyes and ears, the most influential senses.
The Bedroom Wall Car that defined the 70s/80s and a generation.
i felt in love with it when i was a boy,and after 20 years i still do,am so happy that todays cars will never be as this one,if u park this near some modern GTR,Ferrari or even Lambo,everyone will be standing by this one....:)) just wonderfull
The Countach is a top 5 best looking car of all time. Now and always.
Beautiful Countach! Countach is my most attractive car in my childhood.
The Countach was one of my all time favourite cars when I was a kid... I had a poster of a white one on my bedroom wall for about 10 years. Then one day on a misty evening I saw one in a car park, also in white no less. It was like my poster had come to life! That's a moment I'll never forget. I still hope one day they will build more cars that are just as mad and beautiful.
I would love to have this car! Got to see one when I was a kid, loved it ever since. I'm still a porsche guy though
it's the most cool old skool supercar, beautiful in every way...
This is what a car should be: heart, instead of brain. A piece of art!!!!!

My all-time favorite Lamborghini.
Good point on how they were able to be outrageous. Cars today not only have laws restricting their designs but also the market drive to be less polarizing.
This is my favorite car of all time by far. The Countach was everything a super car should be, it was uncompromising, it was loud, it looked outrageous, and it was extremely fast. I've seen a Countach three times in my life and each time it was so profound that the feeling and the experience is something that I've never forgotten even years later.
Come back and watch this every now and then. Still my favorite car of all time.
I love how awesome the camera quality is.
Petrolicious has SUCH good car / owner vids! ALWAYS a good story with great camerawork and sounds!
It's nice to see a Countach driving on normal neighborhood streets for once! Usually these cars are filmed only in exotic locations.
most beautiful Countach I've ever seen!
"you can order a quarter pounder in a mcdrive but a Big Mac is to tall for the window" - best quote! thank you for that!
Got the priveledge of driving one.. It was Tripple White... White wheels, white enterior and of course white body... Still remember the Alpine deck.. it was a 5000S.. great sound from the V12.
That exhaust...its like the opening scene of cannonball run. My God it's like heaven
that was just.. beautiful absolutely beautiful
Seriously, all of these videos that I have watched by this channel are so Elegantly filmed! I love them all! Who knows, maybe one day car could be filmed by them. Keep up the great work! Ill be watching many more of these videos!
Benchmark of design in automobile industry!!! Awesome!!
I own a 10 second 87 Grand national but this car is my ultimate dream car and I also had tons of pictures of these when I was a kid. I used to blast music with my head phones on and just stare at those posters wishing that I would own one someday. Nothing in the world comes close to a Countach. I would take one of these over any car built even today.
It's awesome to see this guy finally being able to achieve his dream. Now he's pretty rich, he bought his dream cars and he's enjoying them like a boss.

Even beings from another world come down to earth and pay a visit to admire this treasure.
My favorite lambo of all time. I remember as a kid watching the movie cannonball run and wanting this car sooo bad.
Wolf of wall street scene with Leonardo crawling to the car high....hilarious
most beautiful car ever, also had about 3 different posters of it on my wall as a kid
I waited my whole young life to get a chance to drive the Countach and when the day finally came to my disappointment I was too tall to drive it....

Like you, I also waited and when the chance did arrive it was an 89 anniversary without a wing. Guy converted to European bummpers and such, so it looked amazing and still does. Really wasn't what I expected, car is hard to drive and it looks like an aerodynamic masterpiece but it isn't. He said the wing made it much harder at higher speeds to control and took it off for that reason. While its scary to drive and such, wish I would of bought one when they tanked in value a few years back and kept it.

A timeless classic
Blew all my summer job money as a kid seeking out and plastering every wall in my room w/ Countach posters. Also love the '87 Buicks - got to have some fun w/ one on the highway last summer, first I'd seen in years. That turbo's a killer! My lil ss is all motor, but she's game enough and we had a blast. The man w/ the Buick was class all the way, great guy. Keep 'er in the 10s!
Again another FANTASTIC Vid Petrolicious! You guys never fail to capture the true essence of automotive filming and reliving your dreams in cars. Thank you.
thanks for posting this,i am 6'1 205 i had to use a small pillow on my right hip because of the seat,but the way it made my brain and eyes vibrate when i slammed that accelerator to the floor was truly awesome and like my own private heaven
Beautiful paint on the Countach, well maintained
The car that made me fall in love with cars
Yes, one of the icons of all icons. Makes me think of a fighter plane. Who cares about ergonomics? It's a masterpiece. Always will be.
The best lambo ever produced.
4:01 that rooster a admirer too!
And again some lovely shot. Love the footages!
Perfect commentary on a legendary vehicle...the appreciation is obvious and that is great to hear....give rides to as many people as you can.....wer need to preserve cars like this for the next generations..thank you for a wonderful video on my childhood dream car!
absolutely LOVE the editing especially the ending
Recently I had the pleasure to explore this channel. Absolutely brilliant.

Great video , this car is so outrageous, this and the Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird most outrageous looking car of all time. As a kid in 80s this car was pin up and still is
Absolute game-changer in the Supercar stakes. An italian, balls out, no fucks given, thoroughbred. Goes fast and nothing else mattered. Every petrolhead loves this car...
Gorgeous car. Truly a work of art.
This guy has a Countach, a Ferrari 250 GT Lusso and a 458. Talk about living the dream.
simply beautiful
I love the way this guy speaks. I wish I could express myself like that
The white Countach red interior was on my wall as a boy. Still my all time favorite.
This is one of the best automotive channels I have ever come across on KZread. Amazing work!
It looks like a stealth car. Just amazing!
Hey James great collection. I purchased a set of your wheels back in 97-98 after seeing your ad in the back of a magazine and you actually answered the phone, took my order, and explained that you were the owner and just starting out. Congrats on your success!!!
To look at this car, you wouldn't think the design was 40 yrs old, timeless.
Even the chicken is like "what in the world..."
This car is incredible, and the interior is so retro and simple.
Beautiful Euro spec QV - my ideal Countach - and white on white! Perfect car.
Outstanding video guys!
No better way to start one more day... Again, this are the most beautiful videos on the Internet!
Great narration!
Outrageous, and I love it, great video
This was truly beautiful.
it was a cold day
WTF??? "I think the countach turns a lot more heads than a modern Lamborghini or Ferrari because 2 things; it's a lot lower and a lot fewer" ... how about, it looks friggin outrageous and infinitely better than any modern POS!
