Countach, the ultimate supercar

LOVE this car!
one of best looking 5000s to me

p.s. i think the bull on the back was added at a later time and car was born without it

 

They always look best when they are on the road!

 

Thanks a lot!

I think the bull was always present, I have early pictures of it bearing the bull. The thing is that it was stolen at a certain point and replaced with a silver one. Which I swaped with a correct black one this winter.

 

which year is the car?

 

1984

 

Beautiful!

An older image below.

1984 production LP500S were supplied with the bull badge FWIW.

Feel free to invert the "S" when you have time.

You're right! I completely forgot! Thanks for the reminder!

 

It will take @ 5 mins!

 

em42 I've told you before and I would say it again, you have my favorite spec Countach I love it.

 

Thanks for the kind words. I do think the same, but of course I'm biased!

On the other hand, I can't wait to see the progresses on your model.

All the best,

Ed.

 

No problem and Thanks

I am going to do one in your spec just to tease you. I am just finishing the underside, then front Suspension, then I can start printing the whole car!! after that I will do the engine and front compartment.

Here is the functional suspension test I did for the rear

Yes, it was discussed in the Downdraft thread last October.

 

We have those here in the US. my friend Derek recently rebuilt his Jalpa motor with these and it appears to be as powerful as the original if not more. Have you got a dyno reading?

 

Looks fantastic. How bolt on was it? Did you have to modify the gas tanks?

 

Came across this picture on Twitter this evening. I quite like it. Presume this is not original.

Who else likes?
