Countach Downdraft 1985 to 1988.5

Well acc to another neighbor (the duude on the corner with the big sailboat,sailboaters and Countach owners usually get along real well ) he claims the clutch pedal in rhd cars are on the right side,beeing the pedal assembly is just moved over to the right, that way you guys while driving around the island in the fog ,can use your right foot for the clutch operation, this is why it does not feel as heavy, beeing the right foot is usually stronger than the left, makes sense Huh? Lol

 

As shown here previously, I have been known to give tutorials on how to reverse a countach if anyone is interested.

You didn't know he was being facetious?

 

I dont think the Countach clutch requires any more effort than my CGT. Clutch on my Murcielago is much too light.

 

you guy actually responding to this bs, ? LOL effeing unbelievable

 

Great piece. Chosen as one of the Car Gods among the best of the best.

 

I caught your humor, hence my post

 

Thanks, i feel better now, did not open your post, not shure reg some of the other Countach duuds out there, very concerned reg our British friends,

Looks like he got his electrical issues sorted then...

 

Ah, spotted again Joe!

I was asked to put together a collection of modern supercars this year that I can see being stars of Concours events in a couple of decades time.

My selection included Pagani Zonda F (in bare carbon) and Huayra, black Enzo (I think the front end design is brilliant and shows best in black), the only Jaguar C-X75 in existence in production form and the Koenigsegg Narayra, which is finished in blue carbon and has 'turned gold-leaf' accents.

Then the organisers asked me to display one of my own cars too and the Countach QV seemed the obvious choice. Once they were all together, I thought it remarkable how the Countach QV didn't look out of place in this elite group. With it sat right at the front of the collection, you could see the evolution of the mid-engined supercar and how dramatic the Countach design still is today. Here are some photos, so you can judge this for yourself..

Front and center as it should be! Great stuff, thanks for sharing, Harry.

 

Well done Harry. Great selection you put on display. Can you post up some pictures of the Jag? I love this car. Can't believe they did not go into production with it. Would have sold a lot of units in my opinion.

I'm not surprised that the Countach is still relevant today. The design was ages ahead of its time. What did they smoke in the 60's and 70's? I feel like I've missed out ;-)

Don't get me wrong, I love the modern kit as much as the next man. But I'll take a GT40, Cobra or classic Ferrari over any of it. 3 pedals, stick shift and you have to drive it!
I get out of the QV feeling that I've been taken for a ride, not the other way around. Pure automotive heaven!
