    Spats are a good idea as paint gets blasted to hell on the rear arches

    Of course I don’t get to hear it at redline, but I see and hear the Cannonball car at least once a year.. it sounds very similar to the movie unless it’s just idling- pretty sure the “rumor” was started by some jealous F car guys..in fact, listen to the Ferrari 308 and 911 race in the movie Against All Odds.. the F car sound mostly was dubbed in..wanna guess what soundtrack they used?

    That's what I think also.

    In movie-making as with most things time is money, I can't see any reason why they would record something else when they had a real V12 Countach at their disposal.

    As early as late 1974, Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini SpA attempted an application for USA DOT Certification, this is the initial submission

    "Omologazione USA" is the title of this final production illustration for the proposed USA version of the Countach dated January the 22nd 1975, this was based on the LP400 Prototype

    Interesting to see that they used the prototype’s window shape for this document!
    Thanks a lot for sharing. Where did you find it by the way?

    My pleasure.

    The illustrations were based on the LP400 Prototype.

    I found it years ago from a Lamborghini factory insider by doing historical research, the entire 65 pages are in my archives, some of which may make it into a Countach book.
