Favorite Countach Variant

They're all amazing, but which is your favorite? If you could only have one, which?

 

The one i really like to own, is not the one i really like to drive. Lol

 

My favorite is the one I have for many reasons beyond it's my car, but if I was to pick the end all be all in my mind it would be a S1 Bravo SW with a wing, and for that I'll use my vote.

 

lp400 is the favorite. The S is the better car.

 

Best for me is Lp 400S S1

 

My home was Houston ,(Clear lake) back in 79-80,i was very young, remember a small exotic dealership having a Tahiti blue flared Countach,white black int, absolutely amazing, most likely an S1 beeing the late 70 s , very cool variant

 

LP400S1 or S2

 

Maybe 1038

 

S1 1094

S1 there is no substitute

 

Had to go with first passion.. S2. (although this is not one I desire to own)

 

The car that spawned the fantasy and millions of posters.

 

I thought you grew up in Norway?

 

My runner up vote would be this one.

 

Nice to see every variant getting a little love

 

I did. But traveled as a teen for 2 years. Bought a stationwagon in San Fran. Drove pch to Acapulco Mexico. Stayed for 1 month. Then drove to Houston Worked for 1 year on misc Car boat shops. Then drove to Miami. Hibiscus Island. Stayed there for 1 year Then flew back to Norway. Fun 2 year teenage adventure. Thanks for asking.

 

I will add, this was the only Countach i ever saw in Houston that year i spendt there. The next one was in Ft Lauderdale on US 1. Red car. That was it. 2 cars in 2 years.

 

Agreed.

FWIW, putting favoritism or personal ownership aside, in business, the Countach I am asked for these days by overwhelming majority is the Downdraft.

 

I'd say this exact car for me...Oh boy what i'd do to see it in the flesh...

Silver one Cats Exotics had would be the sexiest Countach I've seen... but I think I would get over the silver colour quickly and be very concerned when it came to bottoming out.

 

Lets plug the DD in 3....2.....1.... oh wait...

 

Nobody plugs the Downdraft better than you (& perhaps Ellagirl) by your continuous protestations about the Fuelie being the same thing which only succeeds in drawing attention to and putting the spotlight on the Downdraft's obvious superiority.

I really only ever plug the Downdraft or compare it to the Fuelie in response to futile attempts by certain Fuelie owners to minimize the differences between the cars, otherwise, the Downdraft plugs itself, in real tangible terms of specification, performance, desirability and value. For example, here's a poll which as of this date shows the Downdraft is the most favored variant of Countach of them all, and it is almost three (3) times as favored as the Fuelie
