    The LP670SV looks small&narrow compared to the Aventador SVJ.

    To my eyes it’s just that the SVJ looks big ‘n bloated.
    The older car is much sexier.
     
  3. I think all of them are amazing cars. The top models of the last four v12 generations. The Countach is the smallest and lightest car of them all. The Diablo Gt, in my opinion by far the best Diablo, is only a bit heavier while the Murcielago SV and Aventador SVJ are each a good 150 Kg heavier than the GT.
    It's great to see that Lamborghini is still producing mind blasting cars.

    Gentlemen, allow me to guide you back to the topic at hand:

    The Downdraft.

    Which is the main reason that image with those other cars looks so good.

    Here's a sublime one, Bianco/Bianco with no wing

    Looks like the photo is taken in Germany.

    Joe a comparsion of the different supercar variants of the brand should be allowed. It shows in one image how the automotive industry moves forward, also in terms of dimensions & design.

    The photo was taken in Switzerland actually.

    I see what you are saying regarding the image containing the Miura SV, Countach Downdraft, Diablo GT, Murci SV & Aventador SVJ, surely the best performance variant of each of the models by the way, if the discussion compares the other cars to the Downdraft, then that's on-topic, otherwise the discussion wanders away from the purpose of this thread and is perhaps better discussed in other more appropriate threads.

    Either way that's a great image.

    Quite obvious, I look at the pillars at the street side->Switzerland, most likely HLA12046.

    In other news. I fired Daisy up for the first time this year. Booked in for MOT this coming Saturday. I’ve also got a ticket to display her at the upcoming Supercar Sunday Goodwood Breakfast club on Sunday 2nd June. Its a good 2.5 hour drive for me so will leave home at 06:00 Sunday morning. My neighbours will hate me :eek:

    She’s not been started since October last year. Fired up on 2nd attempt. Sweet !

    Excellent news.

    Although I don't know how you can have a Countach in your garage and not drive it for 6 months!

    Well done for solving the puzzle but it’s fair to say I’m gutted the interior has changed and it’s no longer in the UK.
    As previously said, I was lucky enough to know the owner back in 2007/8. I got to go out in the car and drive it and given that the Performance Car magazine that featured C701 was the first magazine I bought as a 13 year old kid - and still have that mag (which is Joe’s scan images) it has been quite special to me.
    Oh well...

    Yes, it seems there was misrepresentation in the Ads for FLA12849!

    So I can't take any credit after all.

    What has become of this car? Who owns it and where does it reside?

    It's actually GLA12947 per the owner - HLA12046 is in the USA.

    In the underground parking of a shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a RHD red/white (the windows are tinted) Downdraft.

    Robert which RHD one is this?
