The Story of the Canadian Wolves in Japan that Saved Lamborghini

- Cars can be an expensive hobby, but what if money wasn’t a problem? This story follows Walter Wolf, who used his wealth and desires to reinvent the Countach, inspire countless enthusiasts, and aid in saving Lamborghini altogether.
While researching past videos I stumbled across rumblings of a Countach within the infamous Mid Night Racing Team. I decided to dig a bit deeper, but had no idea this would turn into such an involved and interesting story - I hope you enjoy it!

The Japanese was actually real crazy about the Countach that it's not only appeared in many movies and Circuit Wolf, it actually appeared in another manga that's about a boy who somehow got a LP400 from an odd source and began learning to drive well with it, even facing odds like the Ferrari Boxer and the rare Jota and the manga's aptly named... "Countach".
Also, since you brought up Wolf's Kremer K3, I think you need to dive deeper into Whittington Brother's 935 K3 team also. One of the biggest weed smugglers in America in that time by using their IMSA team to do it. Also, the 1979 Le Mans win? Yea that's the same team that got implicated in the drug bust. Also, besides motor racing, they also raced planes at the Reno Air Races thus this team certainly needs a vid explaining their motives, on why they do it and how they do it on top of their racing history from planes to how they managed to win said 1979 Le Man races you mentioned and how did they move their "drugs" across the US.
Why WM anime not have a character racing in a Countach is beyond me
Ah yes the 112.

Wats a 112

I made a Mid Night style Diablo on GT7 so the thumbnail had me shook
I just absolutely love your content!! I really appreciate the amount research that has gone into these videos
Thanks Karl! I really appreciate it!
Same here. I am a real car guy but I saw some new stuff for me on this Walter wolf video and now I am subscribed for more content. Cool thing is the many photos/video with the stories

This channel is the very definition of underrated
I live in British Columbia and often see Mr. Wolf out with his daughter having coffee, I’ve spoke to him on occasion and he’s an interesting individual to say the least and the last of a dying breed. I’ve known who he was since about 8 years of age after receiving a slot car racing set from Santa and it having f1 wolf car. I told him the story up a the ski hill about 4 years ago and his eyes lite up.
Wish i could meet an interesting man like that.
The quality and professionalism of production on TH-cam exceeds a lot of mainstream output. This channel is one those. Great work.
The reason the F1 wing didn't work was that the Countach is naturally balanced already. The wing made too much rear downforce and caused it to understeer severely. The ones you see on the production Countach make next to no downforce.
I know you are always asking for video ideas. There is already a great short documentary, but I think this story deserves a HuntersMoon version.
The crowdfunded record at the Nurburgring with the 2017 dodge viper gtrs organized by Russ Oasis. And you could even throw some more facts about the incredible dodge viper and all of its still current lap records that it holds!
The only Mid Night Countach I've ever heard off up until now was a red one on a Speedhunters article a while ago. Had no wing, but was parked in some sort of parking lot. Good to know there was another one in white and was quite active. Speaking of white cars, I wonder if somehow this particular white Countach inspired the white Testarossa in Wangan Midnight. Albeit, in a small way?
Probably, for an example the tuner mentioned here that could tune anything, seems to have been the basis of Kitami Jun.
Really interesting to see where the slight bit of truth to the Wangan Midnight franchise comes from.
Wow! This is a lot of information. I knew about the Wolf Specials being very important for the Countach (and by extension, Lamborghini's survival in the 70s) but this is way more than I knew about them before. Also. Anyone who played Gran Turismo 2 remembers that Lotus Europa!
@yellowbird yeah It was one of the colors of the racing modification for the Europa. Also the rm car was used in the grindelwald special license test
This has to be my favourite car story ever. Japan, rich racing team owners, Lamborghini, passionate tuners, and full circles, so so cool
I LOVE that you find “hidden” car stories that feel as magical as when i first started learning about cars. Always stoked for your vids, KEEP IT UP!!!
I'm glad someone's finally made a video on the Mid Night Countach.
Just started the video and I already know it's gonna be a good one
Such a cool story dude! Very well done honestly! Love your video stories!
Thanks Zypher!
What I love with your recent videos is it made most of us realized that we only know surface-level of information and realizing some unexpected connections of several known personalities in car world.
You make some of the best documentary style videos I've seen, you've done a great job!
I was a fan of cars and JDM stuff but man your vids gave me more insight and tbh made me love the culture more also great job you're improving every video
babe wake up new hunters moon vid dropped
Always enjoy seeing and re-watching your videos, excellent quality and content. We need that Pagani story!
Protect Hunter's Moon at all costs! this is legendary research, truly.
Man, your content is top notch! Thanks for all work you do to entertain all of us car people with the stories and history!
I’m a lifelong Porsche and Lamborghini fanatic and I love retelling the stories of my favourite marques to friends and family. Your videos make it way easier to introduce my passion to folks who aren’t as deep into the lore as I am.
Keep it up! Your channel is incredible.
You just don't miss man! Soo awesome to get to know the countach on this level. Thank you for your quality content :)
Thanks Chris! I'm worried I'm burning through all the good stories but I'll try to keep em coming!
That pagani story sounds sick, can't wait for that!
I truly enjoy the way you present and carry on the documentary and to mention the period correct music.. i keep on sharing it with my friends
Haven't been this early for a documentary. Dang
Absolutely amazing. I love old, obscure supercars from the 80's and 90's and the stories surrounding them. I enjoyed every second of this. You deserve many, many more subscribers!
The countach is from 1972. It looked like a UFO In 72. It was produced until 1989. So it's a 70s car.
@@jasonmeehan1269 I'm very well aware of the history of the Countach, thank you. No need for any lectures, good Sir. I was merely stating my own preferences regarding cars. However, few would argue with the fact that the Countach is an 80's icon (despite its roots in the 70's). Have a good day now 😊👋
@@86Hasse it wasn't a lecture, just a fact.
@@jasonmeehan1269 And I got your fact and your message, thank you 😘
What a cool video! So glad I found your channel and have been watching your vids with great joy! Keep it coming m8!
Thanks Stephen, I'm glad you're enjoying them!

I love your channel!!! I am here since your first video. And I absolutely love how you made a video about the Belgrade Phantom! Big love from Bosnia!
They keep getting better, can not wait for the next!
I genuinely look forward to these videos.
Theres so much fluff around now with car content its rare to find a quality channel like this
these videos are my new guilty pleasure
This is an amazing story and a phenomenal part of automotive history
love the vids! you should check out the Hunt-Lauda rivalry I'd think you'd like it, cant wait till the next vid
Thank you once again Jacod!! I know a little bit about the rivalry from watching Rush (which I loved), but I'll have to look into what wasn't covered in the movie!
There is a movie about the rivalry and a great and accurate movie too. Plus there is a ton of material on the subject on YT.
So I would prefer if this channel keeps uncovering more taboo subjects just as it did up till this point.
Up to now it was absolute gold !
Seeing this great people with their great passion makes me want to take my hat off and salute them.. Great video, worth every second of my time!
Great video, thanks so much for making it!!!
Wild, awesome story! Thanks for sharing it all with us!

Thank you.
GOAT video. Always an utter joy to watch.
I didn’t know how much I needed your channel. Its great
Another amazing documentary I've tinkered with countàches for the last two years making the GT1 car a few times and even making one as a representation of Areoflash from Hotwheels highway 35 world race and man this just reignites my love and struggle with the car
Another absolute masterpiece from you!
Thank you! You've probably become my favorite new car channel on all of youtube!
Wow, so many things I never knew. Thank you for the history lesson from someone who has loved these cars for years. I can imagine how much time you have put into researching your videos and it's much appreciated.
I've always wondered why the team had a WW Countach! This is an amazing video! Keep it up :D
Its rare to find videos that actually hit you hard, i love this video alot, subbed!
Keep these coming. You’re well on your way.

Was not aware of this chapter of the Countach story. Makes me even more excited that Japan is reopening to visit at least some of these locations. Thanks for the story, and keep up the great content!
Wow, These guys were legends. This is awesome content. This took a lot of dedicated research and it shows. It's very much appreciated! Please keep it up. You have my support!

Dude your videos are excellent, very niche and right up my street!
You deserve alot more subscribers, and you/your channel will end up growing to something much bigger. I've been watching your stuff for about half a year now, and I love both the production quality, the dedication into getting these unknown portions of car history out for everyone. Hope to see more soon, keep up the quality content and don't give up!
Oh man , great content I just love hearing about these late 20th century clubs and lore surrounding them , their strange rules and the cars they drove , such an entirely different era
I love this. This is like a hub for secret esoteric car nerd content. Keep doing what you are doing! Waiting patiently for the next video to appear in my sub feed :))
This was definitely a neat story. Your videos always keep me locked in with interest. I can't wait to see what else you put out. And I'm looking forward to that Pagani story you hinted at near the end. Keep up the good work.
Yes! Keep making these mate.
This was a fantastic video, excellent work my man.
always look forward to these
The amount of information in this video and research that went into into this video must be insane truly loved this video and your story telling
These videos are amazing. Thank you for making them.
This channel deserves way more subs and views, it is so educational, i love listening to it in the background while drawing/playing. Listening to legendary japan stories is such great content that needs so much more views on. I've made a really great choice to click on your channel 3 month ago, keep it up 🙏❤
