Doug, no one can deliver a review as in depth and articulated so honestly & refreshing the way you do, it’s a pleasure watching these. You’re the go to person whenever I’m looking for a vehicle review. Keep up the great work and thank you for them.
Rumor has it If you look around every Lamborghini Countach and pick every speck of dust from every nook and cranny you will have a complete 8 ball of coke
thanks Doug for mentioning the Alpine Car Stereo Countach poster you had on your bedroom wall. I was the art director and created the concept and directed the photography. When Ford bought Lamborghini and the 25th anniversary Countach was introduced we traveled to Detroit to shoot the first production model to reach the USA. We used a fork lift to place it onto the steel table "pedestal" after building a 60 ft. wide backdrop wall of rivet steel. However, as this was before Photoshop, we got in deep trouble for removing the wheel weights to clean up the rims.
When we were kids in the 90s, my brother and I had like 6 Hot Wheels Countach toy cars that relatives gave us as gifts. They look so ridiculous that through most of my childhood I assumed the Countach was just some fictional car that only existed as a Hot Wheels toy. It's like a stealth bomber made of cocaine.
Car dealership: "Doug, when would you like to drive the Countach?" Doug: "Anytime! Preferably when there's a Hurricane" Car dealership: "We don't have a Huracán in stock....' Doug: "No, i meant drive it during the hurricane"
He's so into the details, he didn't even noticed it's raining! if he comes to my house and do a lil review on my '91 Honda I may have to check on the weather first!
@kickdje I mean.. No regular car today has any problem with regular rain when doors are open. It's a complete nonissue. So why should this car have any problem?
9:19 Doug demonstrates the "suicide" back up technique. He sits on the door's edge with his head outside looking back while the scissor door is open. Only problem I see with this is that if you suddenly apply the brakes.. the scissor door will guillotine you.
I was in a 1985 Countach 5000s when it was brand new maybe it was an '84. They are quick for sure. It's crazy to watch the white lines of the road dissapear under the windshield. It belonged to a player on the Detroit Lions. The guy who gave me a ride in it worked for an exotic car tune down company in the Chicago area. They were out joy riding in it before tunning it down to American standards. It was crazy we were just kids hanging at McDonalds when they rolled in. Damn did it sound cool and loud.
There has never been a car in my life that made me more excited to look at it than this one. I was born in 1975 and this car if this car was the coolest thing in the world when I was in 8th grade. I don't know if I would ever enjoy owning a car like this one but if I had to pick 1 car for the rest of my life to put into the corner of my living room, this is the car. Maybe it's better to never meet your heroes.
Pretty sure they never bothered to switch the windshield wipers to the wrong side of the car when they shifted the steering wheel and seating position for import into the US.
Must you disrespect our Father God just to make a comment!!! PLEASE don't use that word it's extremely disrespectful to God and it doesn't help make your point! Thanks!
This car brings back so many memories! I remember as a child I had a hotwheels car that I played with all the time and it was my favorite. It even had a red interior and I thought it was so cool with the white exterior. Then right after I got a Playstation I remember playing Need 4 Speed: Hot Pursuit and selecting this car all the time. I haven't thought about this car at all since then and I feel like I just had a whole chapter of my memories unlocked seeing it.
I'm sure the wiper position was designed for right hand drive and works just fine in that set up. Had a 86 impulse with a single wiper design which worked very well.
Doug, the mirror in the passenger sunshade is obviously for the driver to hold out of the window and use while reversing. Can't believe you missed that one smh.
Who would've thought that a 58 dougscore car would make doug completely geekout and buy it years later.. That only confirms that sometimes the irrational choices are worth it.. You never know with life
I was a teenager when this car was out and to me, this was my dream car in the mid 80's. Had posters, scale model/die cast cars, etc... of the Countach. Ok, so watching the review here some 30+ years later, this thing obviously is quirky and has various engineering flaws. Nevertheless, in the 80's, everyone drooled over this car. I still think the car looks amazing by it's shape and aesthetic features, even by today's standards. Now, I realize that there's a ton of people under 40 years old who might laugh, call it lame or not "get it". Unless you lived in that era and dreamt of this car, you wouldn't "get it" and those are the ones mainly badmouthing comments here. To me, I still think the car looks amazing, performs great and stood the test of time for how futuristic it was in the mid 80's. I never did get my Countach. Frankly, I don't want one, have a need for one or have $300k in pocket change...but I will say that it's still my favorite car out there, deep inside. But hey, that's what growing up in the 80's was like. Lot of fun, cheesey and fresh things out there that made lasting memories and impressions. Loved the detailed review!
Mr. K I'm not even 20 yet and tons of these people in the comments just don't appreciate the 80s. Who cares about proper engineering if you own one of the most badass iconic vehicles ever made?
@@notgray88 Awesome! Refreshing to hear this coming from someone under 20 years old. I'd say you're a rare exception from the majority of population equal to your age bracket to be this wise at your age and have an appreciation for this car, as it was out roughly 15 years before you were even born. I also agree about what you said about the engineering. Lot of people are missing the punchline here. It's the quirky engineering details that actually make this car unique and timeless. Those who drive the Countach seem to have a love/hate attitude toward it, as the quirks are unsafe, uncomfortable, lacking sense and not practicle, yet strangely addicting. So, whether good or bad products over the years, the ones that always remain iconic are the ones that are unique and stand out from the crowd (insert Atari 2600, NES, Mellotron, Hammond B3, Les Paul guitar, 1957 Chevy, Rolex watch, etc...). Cookie-cutter items are generally forgotten about. You make some great points! Thanks for sharing.
Hey Mr K i had the SAME experience as you, and so did 1000's of others-- guys AND gals. And i resorted to the next best thing we could only do-- build a couple of models. I had scored a black model that came with working lights lol! It was cool! And yes today i still like this Countach. I'd do a model again too. And as for the guys who don't get it-- what's out on the market today is ALL WE HAVE FOR NOW but back then well thats all that was out there at the time! And like now we all drooled at them. Of course cars etc will progress in style & technology 2 & 3 decades later! So of course with narrow minded thinking like some do they're gonna say stuff that only exposes that. I want about 20 high end cars built now but I'd take an 89 Lambo in a heartbeat lol! Who wouldn't lol.

@@acow4802 The Infernus in Vice City was clearly modeled after the Countach. The Cheetah was modeled after the Testarossa (also Crockett's car from Miami Vice) Lance drove an Infernus
It's ridiculous, over the top and every part of the car is a mess... but man does it look awesome rolling down the street. If the 80's were a car it would be this one.
I saw one of these idling at an intersection when i was walking around. It sounded deep and throaty like a 1960s American muscle car. It was pretty dang cool.
The Countach was THE show-stopper at auto shows back in the early/mid- 1970s. I don't think that the term "super sports car" was used back then, but the Countach was definitely the first that breed, the first to have not only the performance, but also the looks.

I bet the ad for that car reads something like "One Owner, low mileage, NEVER SEEN RAIN..."
Love your vids
Samcrac hey Sam
No shit
Samcrac finally a comment without the title saying. Doug is the type of guy
lol true
8:57 next to driver rear tire, you can see where a rare Doug butt imprint was left in the rain on the ground.
Doug the type of guy to review a car in a rainstorm because fuck it, it ain't his $300,000 car getting soaked
Yeah? So what's gonna happen to the car?
Does rain hurt your car?
Believe it or not -- and I am going to blow your mind here -- cars do not melt in the rain. Even cars worth $300,000.
You've learned something today!!
Seeing as this is an '89 Lamborghini, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect this car to have issues in bad weather :D
this isn't bad weather lmfao
It's raining, he still goes on like nothing is happening.
THIS is commitment guys.
Doug is the type of guy to review a car in a city that was just hit by a hurricane
CrimpyGummybear this was recorded before irma
hahhahahaha
He had to demonstrate the window wipe :D
I can't help thinking this is a terrible car. Especially in the rain.
It must have been sold on looks, in every other respect it's just stupid.
I had my wall filled with posters of this car :D
Having no change in demeanor or speech pattern while being rained on is really impressive tbh
Judging by how fast you're speaking i suspect you may have made use of that removable Miami mirror ;)
LOL I just got that! :)
He has “the Florida Attitude” going on !
aderol
Wow that was so hilarious bro
Alexander T
Whoa !
He’ll be flying before starting that Lambo up !
I heard your supposed to take qauludes before you drive this car
faaackin quaylooods
Bo Bandy and crawl into it
Steeeeeeeve Maaddeeeeeeennn
I watched that movie last night 😂😂
Bo Bandy man I love that movie hahahaha
My world shattered after watching this lol. This was every kids dream growing up. The car I drive now is designed better and it only cost 23k.
Who would've thought that a 58 dougscore car would make doug completely geekout and buy it years later.. That only confirms that sometimes the irrational choices are worth it.. You never know with life
Doug is the type of guy who would leave the car door open while it's raining.
Doug the type of guy to reserve a table in McDonalds.
Remind me of the good ole days when I would play vice city driving this car playing bille jean by Michael Jackson on flash fm
Its time for the lance Vance dance
@@namemcnamerton4249 I said I got enough of that at school
those were the glory days
Passenger: Why'd you crash?
Driver: I can't see forward in the rain.
Passenger: I could.
I was a teenager when this car was out and to me, this was my dream car in the mid 80's. Had posters, scale model/die cast cars, etc... of the Countach. Ok, so watching the review here some 30+ years later, this thing obviously is quirky and has various engineering flaws. Nevertheless, in the 80's, everyone drooled over this car. I still think the car looks amazing by it's shape and aesthetic features, even by today's standards. Now, I realize that there's a ton of people under 40 years old who might laugh, call it lame or not "get it". Unless you lived in that era and dreamt of this car, you wouldn't "get it" and those are the ones mainly badmouthing comments here. To me, I still think the car looks amazing, performs great and stood the test of time for how futuristic it was in the mid 80's. I never did get my Countach. Frankly, I don't want one, have a need for one or have $300k in pocket change...but I will say that it's still my favorite car out there, deep inside. But hey, that's what growing up in the 80's was like. Lot of fun, cheesey and fresh things out there that made lasting memories and impressions. Loved the detailed review!
Mr. K I'm not even 20 yet and tons of these people in the comments just don't appreciate the 80s. Who cares about proper engineering if you own one of the most badass iconic vehicles ever made?
@@notgray88 Awesome! Refreshing to hear this coming from someone under 20 years old. I'd say you're a rare exception from the majority of population equal to your age bracket to be this wise at your age and have an appreciation for this car, as it was out roughly 15 years before you were even born.
I also agree about what you said about the engineering. Lot of people are missing the punchline here. It's the quirky engineering details that actually make this car unique and timeless. Those who drive the Countach seem to have a love/hate attitude toward it, as the quirks are unsafe, uncomfortable, lacking sense and not practicle, yet strangely addicting. So, whether good or bad products over the years, the ones that always remain iconic are the ones that are unique and stand out from the crowd (insert Atari 2600, NES, Mellotron, Hammond B3, Les Paul guitar, 1957 Chevy, Rolex watch, etc...). Cookie-cutter items are generally forgotten about. You make some great points!
Thanks for sharing.
From one 80's kid to another, well said : )
Hey Mr K i had the SAME experience as you, and so did 1000's of others-- guys AND gals. And i resorted to the next best thing we could only do-- build a couple of models. I had scored a black model that came with working lights lol! It was cool! And yes today i still like this Countach. I'd do a model again too. And as for the guys who don't get it-- what's out on the market today is ALL WE HAVE FOR NOW but back then well thats all that was out there at the time! And like now we all drooled at them. Of course cars etc will progress in style & technology 2 & 3 decades later! So of course with narrow minded thinking like some do they're gonna say stuff that only exposes that. I want about 20 high end cars built now but I'd take an 89 Lambo in a heartbeat lol! Who wouldn't lol.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Had posters of this exact car on my wall, and now Doug is getting rain on the seats.
For whatever purposes you might need a mirror for, in Miami, in the 80's! ;)
Look at his review of the Jalpa. The man clearly loves his coke.
Doug the type of Guy to review a car during Hurricane Irma
11:20 if you needed a mirror "In Miami...in the 80'" i see what you did there Doug :)
Doug 2 years ago: Normally says "this"
Doug now: "TTTHHHIIISSSSSSS"
That’s a really nice 80s infernus Doug
Torero
Turismo
@@ToffeeJim19 in vice city it was called infernus
@@maxyyy7293 it was? I didnt know that - thanks for letting me know
Lance Vance car
The coke mirrors in the visors are the best feature. So 80's
Anime League does your mom know you’re on her computer?
@@RMaxon I can't imagine typing that out, reading it over, and posting it without once realizing any mildly intelligent person will respond "no, but yours knows I'm on hers"
Awesome channel. Thanks so much for reviewing this particular car. Lamborghini was always iconic growing up in the 90s.
"I can't. the horn I mean ahh Italians" lol
Just love how he struggled for words and then just uttered "italians..."
Why i suddenly remeber Lance Vance from GTA Vice City
Mah nigga.
Oh yea that was that piece of shits car
I’m like certain the car in vice city was a testerossa..
@@acow4802 The Infernus in Vice City was clearly modeled after the Countach. The Cheetah was modeled after the Testarossa (also Crockett's car from Miami Vice) Lance drove an Infernus
That traitor Lance Vance
It's ridiculous, over the top and every part of the car is a mess... but man does it look awesome rolling down the street.
If the 80's were a car it would be this one.
I mean dude, that gearbox is just out of this world dumb.
+C. Saint-Saëns if you're talking the lock out then you simply don't get it.
I saw one of these idling at an intersection when i was walking around. It sounded deep and throaty like a 1960s American muscle car. It was pretty dang cool.
That would be the Delorean 😉
could've been a kit car with a chevy 350...
The Countach was THE show-stopper at auto shows back in the early/mid- 1970s. I don't think that the term "super sports car" was used back then, but the Countach was definitely the first that breed, the first to have not only the performance, but also the looks.
It looks cool, makes you look cool, represents 1980s supercar nostalgia. That's why 300K.
Umm because they are rare and collectible is why
@@Tommyblueeyes They are rare, yes, but at the same time the Anniversary is the most common Countach model
