When I was 9 years old, I was playing with some hotwheels at school and there was this one car that was really slick and different looking. It just looked fast. I said, "I'm gonna have one of these one day." I flipped the car over to see what kind it was and that was the first time I read the word Lamborghini. Fast forward to today, 21 years later. I look in my garage to see, sitting in the dark: nothing. I rent, I don't have money for a garage, let alone a Lamborghini. What, did you think this would be an inspiring story or something?
Hah, poors are so weak. Just pull yourself up by your boot straps. Buckle down, invest a million dollars. You’ll have ten hamborghjnjs in no time like me.
Everyday James' sister would stop by his cage, lift her skirt and say "LA LA LA YOU NO GET THIS!!". One day James break out of cage.......and he "get this". {0.o} 😆😂🤣
I came.out also in 1981. And this freaking dude it's light years more funny that the Freddy kruger school bus full of standup people going straight to hell!!!!RAAAAAAAMCHARGERRRR!!!!!
"Click on a link! NO THAT'S AN AD!" I haven't enjoyed someone's sense of humour this much in so long. Absolutely love this guy, and his passion for cars
In case anyone wonders, the Countach in Wolf of Wallstreet was a real one because the director thought that destroying a replica wouldn't look real. However, after filming was done the car got restored to it's former glory
The sad part is jordan belfort destroyed a mercedes in real life instead of a countach. I guess that wasn't flashy enough for the movie. There were 2 cars in the movie. The movie studio owned the one that was destroyed and there was a second privately owned one for some of the driving shots. I met the gentleman who owns that car last summer at an Italian car show.
@@purwantiallan5089 yeah, and holy shit im glad for it. Those cars are cool and all but are unconfortable to drive, not even stripped down race car unconfortable , just borderline unconfortable
Donut Media missed-out the fact that Walter Wolf - Countach was turbocharged (V12+twin turbo) that car was close to 800 bhp and 208 miles/hour !!!.. and they also missed / forget talking about the latest mild-hybrid Countach re-incarnation 2021-2022 > ''50 - Anniversary Countach LPI-800''..
My great grandfather was friends with Ferrucio Lamborghini and had him build a custom Countach in the 70's. He passed away before I could remember him but I always remember the stories of the amazing exotic car collection he had. If you Google Albert Silvera Countach, you'll see articles about it. It even was the main cover photo of one of Car and Driver's magazine issues. It's been passed down by different collectors since then, but I would love to see it in person someday.
The OG Countach is simply the best looking car of all time. Beating out even the Testarossa in terms of sheer visual WOW factor. its pure, refined, unadulterated beauty

Funny cause it's probably the least I've laughed at a Donut video, they've changed a lot over the years and now it's filled with random SCREAMING to make funny moments.
The countach is where my love for cars began. I’ll never forget seeing it for the first time in San Francisco at a car show when I was 6. I loved it so much my dad bought me a black toy model of it
The story about the name coming from the unveiling is often repeated, but actually according to Gandini (in the article "Not Just Bulls: the Creator Tells Us the Story Behind the Name Countach") they had a profiler on the team who made the locks and did other little jobs and who used that swear often; Gandini joked that they should use that as the name, other people liked it, and the joke name became the real name.
I remember the first time I saw the beginning of Cannonball Run in the late 80s. I sort of knew what the Countach was from seeing it on posters and trapper keepers, and I had a transformer that turned into a red countach, but I’d never seen one in action before People always broke the doors off my transformer toy because the didn’t understand how they were supposed to open. Had to superglue them back
So sad James stopped making up to speed episodes, that's the reason why i started following the channel years ago, i understand the reason... but they never did the Monster Truck episode...
I got to ride in one as a kid, ~160 mph in one of the 25th anniversary editions back in 1997 down the 405 freeway in Los Angeles. My mom's friend owned one, that moment alone made me fall in love with Lamborghini, the engine noise was so loud the dude had helicopter comms headsets in the car so he could talk to passengers. One of my best memories from childhood, I'll never forget that car it was Gloss white with blue leather interior. It broke my heart watching one get nuked in TWoWS.
Those are for the film car only, the real production car has the standart 4 tips. Also the front "spoiler" is to conform with US laws and is designated as "bumper" just to make the papers work "for legal purposes"
My best friends dad rented a LP5000 for a weekend and because we were like family i was allowed to go on the trip in their daily car with his wife and daughter. At some point we all got a ride and it was absolutly glorious, the little me was so impressed with the sound and acceleration. That was the point i fell in love with cars and speed and nowadays im a proud car mechanic who loves his job.
When I think of the Countach I think of the old days and that makes me like the cars more. The boys in our family used to sit and talk and dream about those cars because we didn't have the Internet to allow us to pull one up when we wanted to see one.Back in those days there were other exotic cars, but nothing compared to the Countach.It was not until Lamborghini started making the Diablo and then some of the other cars that I had seen another vehicle that I wanted that much.
I love these videos so much. The story about Enzo on the streets of Chicago just puts the cherry on top. So much research must go into these. Good bloody work gents
A few years ago I was at a gas station in Utah in my 2006 LPE-606 c6 z06 corvette and enjoying my night, when a sound I’d never heard neared , I turned to the entrance and here come the first Countache I’ve ever seen and it flew in the entrance bashing the shit out of the front lower bumper dragging it up the slope and the drive pushed on the accereator forcing the bumper up the concrete. I wanted to cry, it was a worse sound than nails on a chalk board. The legend pulls in in front of my car and I notice it’s disgustingly dirty, surely hadn’t been washed in a good 6 months or more and the back of the car up the tail above the exhaust tips was black from the exhaust fading up the paint it was so sad, door opened and a freakin 16 year old kid gets out , I recognized him as one of the slammed Subaru STI kids , his was pretty awesome, full interior cage , Rotta wheels and a big turbo. I walked up and had to see if it was a real one or replica and it was real, I asked him what the story was and he said his grandpa was Charles Schultz , the Peanuts cartoon comic writer. He passed away and his daughter, this kids mom moved into his alpine utah mansion and apparently it had an under aground garage with a bunch of 80’s exotics. He said they never drive them becasue their a pain in the ass and uncomfortable and I wanted to punch him in the mouth. I told him it was a dream car of mine and that he really needs to have it detailed. He laughed and then got in driving off. How could a young kid not appreciate driving a damn beautiful red Countache??? So sad.
The drivetrain packaging between the Miura and Countach was a little more nuanced. Because the v12 in the Miura was transverse, the gearbox was mounted inside the engine crankcase for packaging. This raises the engine higher in the chassis than it normally would’ve be, which is bad for Center of Gravity. By putting the gearbox in front of the engine in the Countach, both the engine and gearbox can be lower in the chassis which lowers the CG which is good for handling and safety,
As much as I love the biographical and alternative topic Up to Speeds as of Late, I'll always love these car based installments. 😍 On a side note, it's a shame Donut didn't include anything about the new LPI 800-4 Countach announced last year.
You know damn well when James calls up the cable company to order internet service, goes to the bank, or gets pulled over by a cop for speeding, he never breaks character and talks the same as in his videos.

The open scenes to The Cannonball Run.... OH THE SONG OF THAT SCREAMING COUNTACH STILL GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS... no really I just watched the first 4 minutes of the movie again! Great episode!
Im sad that he missed two important things about the Cannon Ball run countach, it was the same one that was imported by the guy for the real cannon ball run, it was also the reason that they stopped having the cannonball run because the guy that ran it, was worried that the guy who bought it would wreck it.
The Countach got me into cars. Although my taste in cars changed to classic American, I still thank the Countach for introducing me into the auto world.
Tell you what, you guys sure know how to keep people engaged the ENTIRE video. I came here with the intent of only watching 5-10 minutes tops, but when the video ended I was like, "wait, thats it?" before realizing I had been sitting here for the past 22 minutes lol.
i got through it in less than 10 minutes. My formula is simple: every time james starts yelling, I fast forward till he stops. There's literally less than half of the episode where he actually talks lol

Ferruccio Lamborghini sold the car company because he was in debt with the tractor company, wich were split (and the second one was not an LLC) - it wasn't in debt with the tractor company also for poor management, but because they had a massive delivery in Bolivia that didn't happen because of a sudden insurrection. He was described as temperamental, but he was not a bad businessman.
Before I’ve even started to watch this video, you guys already had my like. It was fun to see that the was the first sentence of the episode 😆 Amazing content, as usual!
I fell in love with the car ever since I saw it in Twisted Metal and NFS3: Hot Pursuit on the PS1 and incidently NFS3 also made me love the Diablo and the Lamboghini brand.
Yes I bought a countach poster and choose your own adventure books at the school book fair in the 1980s. I also bought my dad gifts at the school Santas workshop that he never used
Why do these up to speed episodes like this make me wanna cry at the end? Maybe just great storytelling about complete driven passion. I love what you do James
Entry level Lambo. 😂 Reminds me of a scene in a movie I can't remember; An everyday girl gets picked up in a Bentley for something or other and is wowed by it. She asks the driver if it's a Rolls Royce. He tells her it's a Bentley and she says, _"Oh. That must be a discount Rolls."_ The driver just smirks. 😂
I will proudly admit that I was one of those young boys that picked up a Countach poster at the schoolastic book fair 💪🏻, I also had a scale model I made and painted yellow that I still have. Best looking car ever IMO

It is wrong to say that Ferrari 365 bb and Testarossa's had a boxer engine, it has a v engine that was flat and so it has different firing order and crankshaft than a boxer equivalent would have had.
@@RoverWaters yes but it is not boxer engine, it works on same principle as V engine, flat v has the same type of crankshaft as V, and boxer has different
James mt brother from another mother I've been saying this for years as a 30 year tow truck vet and a absolutely certified professional car psycho, this is the story that Lamborghini should lean on with there current status in the supercar world. Preach my brother!! We need to talk I've got ideas!! And the ability to produce crazy content!! Ijs!!
The opening minutes of Cannonball Run, with the V12 screaming under Ray Steven's crooning, is my go to feelgood TH-cam Clip . . . Probably watched it 100x.
The 25th Anniversary Countach in Silver was on my wall as a kid. I first discovered the car in Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit. There was a slideshow that had "Monster" by Rom Di Prisco playing in the background. I was absolutely captivated. It's still my #1 dream car, but prices are soaring. A black LP 5000 QV just sold for over half a million near me. I'd like to think I could afford one someday if I play my cards right, but at this point, the closest a lot of kids from my generation will get were those fantastic hero shot posters we all drooled over. It's the car that kickstarted my love for everything automotive.

I was born in the middle 70’s grown up and the 80’s and YES that scene in cannonball run did changed the face of of earth forever , if you were a kid in the 80’s you would’ve seen the Lamborghini poster in almost every 80’s kids room ! Absolutely 80’s icon

I will advice everybody who is into crypto to stick with ETH and BTC as much as you can guys.If everyone sells when it starts to fall, which at one point it will, the dream maybe lost because of it being too volatile for companies to get behind.

I'm a 90's born kid and spent my life in the era of the murcielago, and yet, I still found myself in love with the countach. Just the way it looks it's so much more exotic than the murcielago, but also due to me being a huge fan of synthwave stuff haha
Never once have I been interested in cars, then I saw the lambo countach at a car meetup with my grandad and its still the only car I've ever loved to this day
These videos get better with every episode. And I've been watching for a long time. James is only two years younger than myself and I absolutely love the references he makes that are iconic to his and my era. Keep it up. Subscriber for life baby!

The Countach is one of my all time fav cars, just looks so clean.

The open scenes to The Cannonball Run.... OH THE SONG OF THAT SCREAMING COUNTACH STILL GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS... no really I just watched the first 4 minutes of the movie again! Great episode!
Im sad that he missed two important things about the Cannon Ball run countach, it was the same one that was imported by the guy for the real cannon ball run, it was also the reason that they stopped having the cannonball run because the guy that ran it, was worried that the guy who bought it would wreck it.
I recently watched a documentary about this machine, specifically the one used in the Cannonball Run movie. It was awesome!
That documentary is nuts amazing

Clicked as fast as I could!! Love the content❤️
Walter Wolf was an absolute dude. I once watched him eat a whole apple - stalk, pips, core and everything...
The Countach got me into cars. Although my taste in cars changed to classic American, I still thank the Countach for introducing me into the auto world.
Tell you what, you guys sure know how to keep people engaged the ENTIRE video. I came here with the intent of only watching 5-10 minutes tops, but when the video ended I was like, "wait, thats it?" before realizing I had been sitting here for the past 22 minutes lol.
i got through it in less than 10 minutes. My formula is simple: every time james starts yelling, I fast forward till he stops. There's literally less than half of the episode where he actually talks lol
@@machupikachu1085 lmao
Just taking a minute to say I really appreciate the beautiful and hilarious editing bits. 😁
Absolutely magnificent machine, an icon of great engineering
LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH?! Oooh this is going to be good!
Oh yeah

he wasn’t lying about the aerodynamics. the countach drag coef. is 0.42
the astrovan is 0.38
Ferruccio Lamborghini sold the car company because he was in debt with the tractor company, wich were split (and the second one was not an LLC) - it wasn't in debt with the tractor company also for poor management, but because they had a massive delivery in Bolivia that didn't happen because of a sudden insurrection. He was described as temperamental, but he was not a bad businessman.
More frequent up to speed please 🤗🤗😍😍
every Thursday!
Before I’ve even started to watch this video, you guys already had my like. It was fun to see that the was the first sentence of the episode 😆 Amazing content, as usual!
I fell in love with the car ever since I saw it in Twisted Metal and NFS3: Hot Pursuit on the PS1 and incidently NFS3 also made me love the Diablo and the Lamboghini brand.
Yes I bought a countach poster and choose your own adventure books at the school book fair in the 1980s. I also bought my dad gifts at the school Santas workshop that he never used
Its sleek, unique and 80's vibe wedge shape design would never been forgotten as a big leap in automotive history
Oh god its such a fine tractor :O
The Countach lead the way for the hyper cars we have today
"I'm not trying to be an organic body, I'm a machine." ~L.C. (And that brute honesty is why it's the best supercar that COULD ever exist.)
Why do these up to speed episodes like this make me wanna cry at the end? Maybe just great storytelling about complete driven passion. I love what you do James
James, 🤟 this was without a doubt one of your most epic episodes. Period. Pure genius, both for its info and comedic value. Bravo man bravo 🎉
*Countach looks like a Fricking SPACESHIP 🚀!!!*
Rocky didn't drive a Testarossa in that scene, he drove a Lamborghini Jalpa, basically the entry-level Lambo of the time.
Entry level Lambo. 😂
Reminds me of a scene in a movie I can't remember;
An everyday girl gets picked up in a Bentley for something or other and is wowed by it.
She asks the driver if it's a Rolls Royce.
He tells her it's a Bentley and she says, _"Oh. That must be a discount Rolls."_
The driver just smirks. 😂
Love the show, love that Lamborghine-Mashine! Thanks a lot! How about an Up to Speed on the Opel Manta/Calibra?
doubt it since it never sold in the US and that's Donut Media's prime market so..
That being said, I personally LOVE them, especially the Calibra!
13:22
That’s so brave of her.
That wasn't a Testarossa in Rocky IV. That was a Lamborghini Jalpa.
Many people don’t know that the Muira’s design was heavily influenced by the Ford GT40
Ford ? you mean a bitish Lola MK6
@@altergreenhorn Damn, never knew that
@@altergreenhorn bitish? You mean BRITISH
@@darkchild130 Bri ish
Can we get an up to speed on Gulf? I wanna learn more about them they seem pretty iconic
This car is so awesome you have a full up to speed for it
Edit: why did you forget the new countach
The Contact is my da's favorite car. He's gonna flip when he sees this! Good job!
One of my favorite cars ever because of how crazy it looks!
I will proudly admit that I was one of those young boys that picked up a Countach poster at the schoolastic book fair 💪🏻, I also had a scale model I made and painted yellow that I still have. Best looking car ever IMO
But did you get a goosebumps book too?
@@cujotwentysix7519 hells yes I did

It is wrong to say that Ferrari 365 bb and Testarossa's had a boxer engine, it has a v engine that was flat and so it has different firing order and crankshaft than a boxer equivalent would have had.
How can a V engine be flat?
@@crybaby1363 v angle is increased to 180 degrees, but for more info just look it up
@@sandrios lol
you should go learn some geometry
flat 12 is different than a V12
@@RoverWaters yes but it is not boxer engine, it works on same principle as V engine, flat v has the same type of crankshaft as V, and boxer has different
James mt brother from another mother I've been saying this for years as a 30 year tow truck vet and a absolutely certified professional car psycho, this is the story that Lamborghini should lean on with there current status in the supercar world. Preach my brother!! We need to talk I've got ideas!! And the ability to produce crazy content!! Ijs!!
13:24 this casual remark about his sister is why i love the writers at donut. perfect story telling and jokes.
Day 286 of asking Donut to bring old B2B back
I rly miss those episodes ngl cuz it was my favorite series on donut
Bring ‘em back
how's that working out for you?
"Came out in 1981, just like my sister"
old and used
rocky had a jalpa, not a countach
The opening minutes of Cannonball Run, with the V12 screaming under Ray Steven's crooning, is my go to feelgood TH-cam Clip . . . Probably watched it 100x.
The 25th Anniversary Countach in Silver was on my wall as a kid. I first discovered the car in Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit. There was a slideshow that had "Monster" by Rom Di Prisco playing in the background. I was absolutely captivated. It's still my #1 dream car, but prices are soaring. A black LP 5000 QV just sold for over half a million near me. I'd like to think I could afford one someday if I play my cards right, but at this point, the closest a lot of kids from my generation will get were those fantastic hero shot posters we all drooled over. It's the car that kickstarted my love for everything automotive.
PLEASE DO AN UP TO SPEED FOR THE NEW COUNTACH! I honestly thought you would’ve mentioned it in this video
One of the hottest cars ever made🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorites of all Time! Fucking love this coke addicted redhead

Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Greg Gonzalez has been managing my trade for months and I keep making profits every week, I made $9,130 last week

I was born in the middle 70’s grown up and the 80’s and YES that scene in cannonball run did changed the face of of earth forever , if you were a kid in the 80’s you would’ve seen the Lamborghini poster in almost every 80’s kids room ! Absolutely 80’s icon
I need the editor or whoever to know that the flying car graphic with the shark mouth or whatever was The greatest thing! The float and timing was just great and so cool in the background while James preached the good word of the greatest car he's ever seen
❤I love this video at large but starting the YEAR with a GREAT INVESTMENT should be the wisest thing every individual should do. I will advice everybody who is into crypto to stick with ETH and BTC as much as you can guys.If everyone sells when it starts to fall, which at one point it will, the dream maybe lost because of it being too volatile for companies to get behind.
@peter west I heard a lot of investing with Mr Bryan Nelson and how good he is, please how safe are the profit?
I invested $2,500 and I made $8,450 weekly trading with him, I only trust Mr Bryan Nelson With my investment. I am now able to send my kids to a great school in LA, all thanks to Mr Bryan nelson ..Good man ❤️
I'm a 90's born kid and spent my life in the era of the murcielago, and yet, I still found myself in love with the countach. Just the way it looks it's so much more exotic than the murcielago, but also due to me being a huge fan of synthwave stuff haha
Never once have I been interested in cars, then I saw the lambo countach at a car meetup with my grandad and its still the only car I've ever loved to this day
There was a Countach, as well as the lesser known Jalpa in Rocky IV.
These videos get better with every episode. And I've been watching for a long time. James is only two years younger than myself and I absolutely love the references he makes that are iconic to his and my era. Keep it up. Subscriber for life baby!
I learned something new, didnt know thats what Countach meant. absolute legend.
Scholastic book far car posters and Goosebump books!!! Bro I almost cried from the nostalgia!
BEST U2S YET!!! GREAT ENERGY, DIALOG, PRESENTATION, AND EDITING. AWESOME EPISODE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Countach is the best and coolest car ever made. No question ask. No one built a that looked so awesome ever again. 🤘
I once heared a Countach next to me waiting at the traffic light. It was so flat on the ground i couldnt see it at all :)
Arrow Dynamic 😂😂🤯🤯
at 14:19, that red poster photo, my dad had in his bar, which i now have in my house. I love the love you show lamborghini, all that way back from your first videos, hell, even your personal trip to them years ago. keep it up with the up speed please, that wait time between sucked lol
I remember when the Diablo came out! I was stationed in Iwakuni Japan, and actually saw one on a showroom floor!
I laugh more watching James do one these videos than I do at almost any comedy movie I've seen. Even the shirt commercial is gold. Congrats to the success of the entire Donut team. It's well deserved!
Just finnished watching all the up to speed episodes, i'm new to the channel, and i love donut media. James is very passionate, and i love it!
Gonna check out your podcast and some other videos next, keep up the awesome work. MO POWA BEIBE!!
Bumper 2 bumper is also super cool!
