Countach vs Testarossa

F50, Enzo.

 

Annivesario?

 

The only QV that was faster contained an admittedly factory-tuned engine for a Formula One driver.

 

This is the most intelligent comparo between the 2 cars I am aware of. CAR, April 1986.

Nope. Her name is Angela B, and she is fairly slight and slim in build, and drives the car with the seat all the way forward (LP500S). She has owned the car in California almost since new (1984) and I believe she still has it, although she probably drives her Rolls Corniche more often these days.

 

Joe, do you know if that is when this Testarossa was wrecked. I know that particular car was in an accident right after that publication and poster.

 

Doesn't count, hello! Their specialty low production cars are not akin to the Maranello which replaced the Testarossa as the flagship Ferrari. I am sure you knew what I meant.

 

Here is an entertaining comparo if nothing else.

No I thought what you meant was: "Ferrari has never produced a 12 cylinder mid engined car since".

But I understand.

 

It is fun. It was posted in post 14 of this thread.

 

I'll be more specific, I guess I keep forgetting the precision on these boards.

 

That's a good thing.

Some have spoken of how many Testarossas were produced. I think these guys have something to do with how many were sold in North America alone.

But perhaps they were in the wrong car?

Or perhaps they couldn't find a Countach owner willing to sell them a car to do this with?

WOW is that a real TR or one of the replicas?

 

Real. Provided to the producers by Ferrari North America I understand.

 

Call it a hunch, but FNA insisted.

Watch closely as the replica chases not one, but two different Countachs. Hint: Rear bumper.

I wouldn't bother. As you can see, the attitude here in LamborghiniChat will never change.

Ferrari's response to the Countach was the BB, not the Testarossa. Many would disagree with you on the Testarossa not being an iconic car.

 

...me too.

Pimpin to the max !

 

chimin' in late and may add fuel to the fire ...but the Countach just TRUMPS a TR in EVERY way!!

 

Not in every way.

 

Until Bugatti came along and pretty much gave Ferrari and Lambo the finger, LOL!

 

Yes. The extremely odd thing (to me) is that I ride a YamahaR1 and its top speed is exactly the same @ 183MPH. All this was from my "testing" 10+ years ago....

But in every way that counted when it was my money! Both are great, and anyone that owns one of them is lucky. Just a preference.

 

True, i had a poster of both and seriously if i had to pick one i do not think i could, the Countach for looks wins hands down easily but for the driving envolment well IMO that would go to the TR, the best solution to this argument is to buy both a Countach and a TR problem solved
