Countach, the ultimate supercar

Such nonsense can only be written by someone who does have one... I'm driving my QV for 8 hours without problems!
Do you want to drive an uncomfortable car? then try a 330 GTC like a friend on mine had.

 

not so much IMO
once you get in the car (getting into is an entire other matter LOL ) i find the seats good

if you are under 185 cm tall you could drive any model without any problems IMO, even the LP or lowbody cars

i for myself find the hi roof car from S3 to QV good also for some taller people (obviously if you are over 195-200 cm you will have head room problems (as you would in 99% of sport cars )

 

+1!!! With few words, all is said about Countach, visibility and comfort. It is absolutely no problem to do 1.000 kilometers with a Countach within a day. And rear visibility is far better than most people think and most journalists wrote in the past. Anyway: does rear visibility play a key role here?

 

Joe,

these are very good arguments - therefore it is probable that Marcello Gandini really did the redesign. However, we have to be careful:

1) for that kind of design it seems not to have been necessary to involve Mr. Gandini

2) as far as I know, Marcello Gandini never designed something comparable to the "S" modifications

But the most important thing is that the new style of the Countach was well done. At least, this applies to the lowbody versions (although a lot of people prefer the LP400, so do I).

 

Being of "medium" height (5'-10") I fit these cars in that direction but as I'm a bit "broad-beamed", I find the seats somewhat narrow.

Rear visibility is limited but not as extreme a problem as has been claimed.

 

Somebody repainted THIS car? Please tell me I'm missing something because I'm fatigued.

 

and 3 of 50 S1!! sure he liked countachs

 

Joe, don`t know the VIN of the car but I remember it well (in those days VIN`s are ..."what"????). It belonged to a very big man who run a construction company. He had his main office in the city were I live and had parked this red devil next to the main road. He told me once that he bought it from the Hahne-dealership. This chap got numerous fines for driving flat out on one of the main roads here. Never heared from him or the car again. His company is not existing anymore!

Ciao!

No color changes...Thank goodness. Seems like Mr. Dypvik had great taste
and was a fantastic "original" owner of these cars... a "thank you" to him.

 

Joe,
why did he bought 3 of them in 1 year?

 

Beautiful.... Salivating....
