Is the Lamborghini Countach Really that Awful After 1 Year of Ownership?

I have a car channel dedicated to all of my cars here: www.youtube.com/channel/UCbjvAoziIPjlf26sNbAqpJA Here is the review I did on my Diablo after owning it five years: https://youtu.be/8sDbetiVAFk How I was able to afford this car! https://youtu.be/QOsPX0Nuo_Y

Every kid in the 1990’s had a Lamborghini Countach poster on their bedroom wall! I was one of them.

I really like this review. It's so honest and real life. Talking about actually operating it regularly is so important.

Those who found the Countach hard to drive were probably comparing it with today's supercars which can be easily driven even by an old lady. The most common complaints on the Countach were hard clutch, no power steering and bad aircond, problems that can be easily upgraded.

I still love my 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais.

It is a very particular car, but very beautiful, especially aesthetically. It is probably a car for short people (I saw that you touch the roof of the car with your head) and it should not be comfortable for the driver. And you're not the only one who rides without shoes: your pedals probably have very close together, but if you get used to riding without shoes it's not so bad: you have much more sensitivity that way.

Cool video. These are finally getting the recognition they deserve. Most of the stories of it being a bad car are told by those who haven’t experienced them. The car was the fastest production car made at one point. It is incredibly comfortable, once you are inside. I think that they get a bad rap for two reasons: 1). They weren’t maintained properly 2). For a long time they weren’t taken seriously. They were a drug dealer’s relic. Once they passed the used car phase and moved in to the classic car category they are garnering more respect. That said, they do require all of your attention to drive. They aren’t easy. That makes the drive incredibly rewarding. No other car delivers this experience. One thing is for certain - they will never make another car like this again.

Hi Mark! I must say that of all the reviews I've ever seen (and that's a lot of them), I found this the most entertaining and informative one! Great job! Congratulations on your ownership of this icon! I've always wanted one, but never quite financially able. I've ridden in my friends 5000 S and a Diablo. Such cool and fun cars! My DD replica, Red with gold wheels like yours is almost back from the upholsterer with new white leather on real Countach interior panes! I then re wire the car, and hope to hit the streets this summer! Next year I plan to go tipple white! Thank you for the great vid!

Great review. I love hearing about your list of what you have and what you want to get. You look younger than me but boy, we must have had the same car posters in our rooms growing up. Looking for a countach now and hope to find something well under 500k. Don’t know if that’s possible.

Thank you for this video! I absolutely had a poster for this car on my wall! It was so cool to see one so up close and personal! Appreciate the content!

great video, thanks for sharing with us, i learned lot!!

Hi Mark, loved the video, beautiful car i also had/have the poster of that car on my bedroom wall when I was growing up, i still dream of being taken for a spin in one, your so lucky to own such beautiful cars and being so humble about it, well done, health to enjoy for many more years !! 🙂

Working on my own fleet of fun toys. 2 1986 Merkur XR4Tis, 1 Saturn Sky, 1 Hertz Mustang, 1 Fiero with a 3.4L DOHC motor, and 1 Scorpio. I do fun car Friday as well 😀

The only added extra here is that this car is probably easier to look after with having fuel injection because it starts much easier everytime in all conditions, but loses around 50hp. Dont forget this Countach isnt a low bodied 400s, which would definitely make you struggle with headroom.

You definitely like the classics. Thanks for sharing your ride. It’s sweet!! Would love to see more of your rides.

I have a 88 Lamborghini countach as well and mine is white it was given to me by my grandfather when i graduated high-school back in 2005. I love the car , i have two other lambos as well a 2000 diablo i inherited in 09 when myn gpaw passed also white with red interior and a 2011 gallardo that i got cheap because high mileage and it needed a clutch. I love em tho and thing is the countach gets way more attention than the other two do

Maybe try a wireless backup camera that mounts to the license plate and displays on an iphone.

I heard about the lack of visibility backing up since learning of the car. Today shouldn't be an issue! Put a backup cam in it lol Nice video man. Thanks for the walk around :)

I drove several Countach's for Dr. Berglund as a summer side job in Estes Park. This was the late 80's when EP wasn't as crowded with tourists as it is now. Favorite drive was out McGregor ranch rd. And the end of the summer my left leg had much more definition than the right... thanks clutch! Also had the displeasure of replacing several clutches that summer due to the doc being a notorious cheapskate. (Pd my way through college working on luxury/exotics) Absolutely the WORST car made by Lamborghini. My Jalpa was easier to drive, service, and work on than the Countach. Dm me if you need any service as I'm in Loveland.

mark, you have every right to revel in your success. you have worked hard to be where you are in the here and now. as long as YOU are happy with your beauties... then what can any of us say??? it's a BEAUTY and you DESERVE all the gratification it brings 😊 love all the drama, the info and the cars! keep it coming!
