This is pure "car porn". I'm old enough to remember when these were new. The color is absolutely drop dead fabulous. Just stunning. I absolutely love the contrasting white wheels and white leather interior. I was gobsmacked and very excited seeing this in the suggested videos. The only slight drawback is the 25th anniversary style rocker panels. I hope the new owner shows this car and doesn't keep it locked up and hidden away. This car just goes to show how great the 80s really were. I was smiling the whole video. Thank you so very much.

The Countach, in all its iterations is my favourite car, my local Building Contractor drove a white 5000QV in the 80s and would park it at his offices near my home. Because we are all so used to be-winged, brightly coloured Supercars nowadays, it’s difficult to portray how absolutely outrageous this car was when it was new, to see this driving through a housing estate amongst 1980s Fords, Hondas, BMWs etc was hilarious, even Ferrari’s looked tame next to these cars, they are incredible 😎

Not sure they ever did break 300km/h from factory, so saying almost 200mp/h is inaccurate. Especially with that massive Cannonball style wing it will only decrease top speed and make the front lift even more at high speed, making the car dangerous.

Took the pictures back in 2004 when I went up. It was and still is one of my favorite Lamborghini colors ever (my #1 is and always will be Verde Artemis aka Jade Green). This is such a beautiful car! If this car was always overseas it obviously wasn't it but the car I saw was definitely Tahiti Blue.

Two questions: it often comes up that the Countach is a bad car to drive; do you think part of that comes from people that are too big to drive them? You seem to fit in them very well. And is there a reason that Lamborghini didn't do an SV version of the Countach? Was that basically the 25th Anniversary? Thanks!
