- 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.

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.
I seen it in person and heard the exhaust it just never leaves your mind.
Absolutely. Especially more stunning without fenders and spoilers mate.
EXACTLY !
Roads Untraveled the new hureceloen or however you spell it Lamborghini is making looks just as outrageous
Roads Untraveled I feel the Delorean is more interesting...
If cocaine was a car
The wolf of Wall Street
The windows were made to only fit a kilo of coke through (joke most likely)
This.
God knows some real cocaine would be preferable to a Lambo.....
I might have to give the Most Coked up 80’s Supercar award to the Vector W8
That t-shirt is pretty outrageous too!
lol
roasted
I want to laugh but the dude owns a countach. I've already lost
lol
Andrew B. 😂
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!
Yep I did and still got the picture
I still do.
This is still my dream car! A true 70's and 80's child.
Damn, that chicken can look into the car through the side window!!!
Either that's one big chicken or that's one low car...
Both.
I'm at a loss for words for just how much I love Petrolicious. Thank you for bringing tears of joy to my eyes, these cars just make me so emotional. Thank you guys!
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.
This model. This year. This color. Perfection.
Even the chicken is impressed.
yup you know your doing well when the chicken is impressed.
I never thought I would be jealous of a chicken until now.
I thought the chicken was going to put a deposit on the car.
Well it is a coupe. Sorry
@@davidtaylor857 no no, that was a nice pun
Even that chicken over there (3:57) likes the Countach!
'' Cou cou cou cou cou COU-NTACH....! ''
Hahaha!
After I read your comment, I was somehow expecting him to say that. I am somewhat dissapoint :/
Was a dream car during my childhood.. Posters and pictures filled the wall.
*This car defined an entire era.*
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.
Just an awesome car... decades after its release. It really is a space ship!
Best video on TH-cam 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!!!
Beautiful Countach!
Countach is my most attractive car in my childhood.
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.
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.
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
4:02 - Even the chicken couldn't help but stare at it.
The Bedroom Wall Car that defined the 70s/80s and a generation.
Petrolicious has SUCH good car / owner vids!
ALWAYS a good story with great camerawork and sounds!
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.
I love how awesome the camera quality is.
That guy does NOT need to be purchasing his shirts from the baby gap.
Richard Burns true
or at least not make a video right after scarfing down a big lunch...and in a warmer garage (just a tittle)
that was just.. beautiful absolutely beautiful
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.
"Countach", is not an italian word it's a a Piedmontese word really hard to translate literally but it's mean approximately "Wow!!!" or "Amazing!!!", this word is particularly used when you see a pretty girl ;-). This word was used by a Bertone employee (Bertone is based in Turin, Piedmont) when he saw the prototype for the first time, and it became the name of the car.
P.S.
The pronunciation is not Cowntash it's kuŋˈtaʧ (phonetic alphabet).
I had always heard it meant holy cow
***** Very interesting. I wonder what would happen if an italian man said the word to an U.S. woman, I doubt he would go further than "CUUUNT...." before getting a good slap in the face..."Ehhh wassamara you I was going to call you Countach!"lol
Thanks for the explanation. I think I’ll keep calling them ‘Count-ache’, after the pain you must feel at the mechanics when you’re counting out all the cash you’d need to keep it on the road 😁
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!
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!
This and the Miura were the pinnacle of Lambo, they have never matched these looks. Magnificent.
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....
manlets win again
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.
+Robert Mazzeo jay leno took the wing off his because he just didnt like the looks of it
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!
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
This is what a car should be: heart, instead of brain.
A piece of art!!!!!
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.
most beautiful Countach I've ever seen!
Recently I had the pleasure to explore this channel. Absolutely brilliant.
My all-time favorite Lamborghini.
4:01 that rooster a admirer too!
Beautiful paint on the Countach, well maintained
The best lambo ever produced.
My favorite lambo of all time. I remember as a kid watching the movie cannonball run and wanting this car sooo bad.
The Countach is a top 5 best looking car of all time. Now and always.
absolutely LOVE the editing especially the ending
I love the way this guy speaks. I wish I could express myself like that
simply beautiful
That exhaust...its like the opening scene of cannonball run. My God it's like heaven
Beautiful Euro spec QV - my ideal Countach - and white on white! Perfect car.
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!!!
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.
4:01 That chicken at home that night: “I’ve seen things you little chickens wouldn’t believe...”
Hope he doesn't get too cocky
The car that made me fall in love with cars
it was a cold day
Wolf of wall street scene with Leonardo crawling to the car high....hilarious
That comment about stewardship was spot on.
I agree, it was one of the absolute best car quotes of all time.
This is one of the best automotive channels I have ever come across on TH-cam. Amazing work!
The car has held up way better than Farrah Fawcett.
As an Lambo owner, this car is still my dream car. I was lucky enough to be a passenger of Countach when I was picking up my 991.5 GT3 RS and it truly was a dream come true. Thank you for uploading and it was beautifully done as usual.
Gorgeous car. Truly a work of art.
Even beings from another world come down to earth and pay a visit to admire this treasure.
❤ Man time is flying I barley watch your new content but when I remember a lot of your channel growing amazing to look back some cool interviews with amazing cars
Just found this channel and it is hands down the best short segmented and produced show around.
"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!
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...
No better way to start one more day...
Again, this are the most beautiful videos on the Internet!
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.
万マ宮彁
What the F_ CK is "like a boss"? I heard this in a Wendy's commercial from an Indian kid, and it sounds SO LAME!
***SO F _ CKING "FOB" -- that means, "Fresh Of The Boat"!***
Dream machine. love the music
It looks like a stealth car. Just amazing!
Fascinated by it in the 80s and still fascinated. Still the coolest looking car ever.
it must be really special to fantasize about owning a car as magnificent as a lamborghini. always seeing it in movies and having posters on your wall and seeing it on tv, dreaming of driving one then finally owning it must be a very spectacular feeling.
BEAUTIFUL car- even better CC and editing making the car stand out even more. So luck for you to own one!
What an absolute glorious car! Props to the owner such a cool guy…
Love the ‘58ish Cadillac in the background bout 2:50!! Good stuff man👍🔥👍
Cannon Ball Run!
Great narration!
This car and the lancia Delta integrale are two of the main cars that really drew me into the car community and everything driving and racing related. The countach is more than a car, it's a piece of art.
Wow, his son is about 15 now.. Time flies.
Not only style but sounds!
Great car great video . Wish I lived near you I'd be asking for a ride all the time . I have never seen one in person.
The absolute best color exterior and interior. Agreed not comfortable but the sound when you go through the gears is amazing and I have never turned the radio on in mine. Not because you would not hear it,because playing songs with he exhaust is the best sound you could ever listen to. Enjoy.
Man I just discovered this channel... and it's AWESOME... this is truly for the real petrolheads...
For my money; still the greatest 'Supercar' of all time. Sure there are better performers but for capturing the imagination of generations, this is pretty hard to beat IMHO.
45yr old design - I can barely believe it...
Dammit. Each time they speak about passing the car on, I break in tears. I have two baby boys and I would love to share my passion with them soooo badly...
how can people not love this car
Still the most beautiful car from its time, even our time. Every single boy in the USA who loves cars had this on his wall. Its the most recognizable automobile in history. Even clueless (non car) people know it. What more could Lamborghini ask for? A life long love with an icon.
Outstanding video guys!
The Countach was the most amazing machine I'd ever seen when I was Seven years old, and still is an amazing work of art.
An honest owner, does not make believe that his car is perfect and has no faults. Car still looks unreal in person.
Countach and Diablo... I love them.
Good stuff. You couldn't describe the Countach a better way.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I like your comments about passing the car along and stewardship. Thanks again.
To look at this car, you wouldn't think the design was 40 yrs old, timeless.
Nothing does a visual tap dance on the eyeballs like a countach!!!
The Countach in general is beautkful, but this paticular white one is especially gorgeous!
What year is it?
Has an almost "Star Wars" look to it.
I think it's a 1984 or late 87' Walterwolf model, it's when they got their final design with those wheels, LP500, interior, body, and the spoiler. But I'm not sure, most of them where red. Unless he repainted it.
Ibrahim Lafayette Yah, they pretty much looked awfully similar at this time, but get I'm only 19, Big fan of Lamborghini but got other things to worry about :)
Hey*
I would say it's an '85-'86?
It is a 5000QV made from 1985 or 1986, that was the only years they made them in this spec, in 1987 they added a strange side skirt with strakes in it and then in 1988 they produced the anniversary model with more strakes in the side front bumper and upper side vents. For me his car is the best looking of all, apart from the very few cars that looked almost identical to this but sat lower from the factory (Super rare), it’s always been my favourite car as a local building contractor had one identical spec to this one and seeing it never got old, it looked incredible on the road!
I'm in love with this channel, this is sheer passion for cars.
This car is incredible,of a beauty wich words are enough to describe....
A friend of my Dad's has a red 5000S. I got to ride in it. It was fantastic. Maybe now he'll let me drive it because I'm able to drive.
Hahahaha. I doubt that will ever happen. Keep dreaming though.
You never know.
