    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?

    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 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.

    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.

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.

    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,

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.

    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.

      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."_
