    The poor Countach could only manage No. 2 in the most most deadly sports car list, but at least this increases it's Bad Boy persona!

    Who else would finance such a project, not even Noritake was that much committed (he wanted once always the first/last car of a model).

    Well, to be honest many people assumed incorrectly that the car was commissioned & owned by Lamborghini SpA for PR purposes.

    Mrs Sackey wondered why I was laughing so much.

    That's excellent.

    But wait, did they lay down all that plastic in anticipation of leaky Countachs?

    Villa D'Este.

    Yes, but an authentic replica built by Lamborghini with the sheet metal chassis of the original design.

    The window frames, in particular the fame round the opening part look a little thicker than the original too.

    The taillights seem to have sometimes a horizontal line through them and sometimes not…?
    The lower sill seam on the recreation needs to be painted black to hide it.

    It shouldn't be there at all, on the LP500 the bodywork was wrapped underneath the belly of the car with no seam.

    By the way all the errors and discrepancies can be corrected by the car's owner if he cares to, they are minor differences, I would go the distance and do this after all the time, effort and resources expended.

    Some of those promo shots of the recreation look like computer generated renders to me.

    The Wolfman Cometh.

    Villa D'Este 2021, the Prototype LP400S S1 1121002 as brought by a dedicated Walter Wolf enthusiast (Countach and F1 cars) might upstage the LP500 replica for me.
