- During Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2016 I had the opportunity to talk to Valentino Balboni, the famous Lamborghini test driver, about the Lamborghini Countach "Walter Wolf" that he was driving there.
Walter Wolf, who was the owner of the Wolf Racing F1 Team, bought several Lamborghini's, at one point he even considered to buy the factory completely to save it. His first Countach was a white LP400, a fairly standard model, but Walter Wolf became famous for his 'special' Countach, he had three of them made, all equipped with an especially designed 5.0-Liter engine. In 1974, Wolf received his first 'customized' Countach, a bright red LP400, chassis nr. 112.0148. This car was equipped with the special 5.0-Liter engine and large Pirelli P7 tires, which required enlarged wheel-arches, a front spoiler and an adjustable rear wing were also installed. Along with a special F1-type steering wheel with 'Walter Wolf' engraved in it,special AP disc brakes with eight calipers and a Borg & Beck double-disc clutch, it all added up to an unique Countach.
Only a year later, in early 1976, Walter Wolf bought his second 'special' Countach (the car that you can see in this video). This one with chassis nr. 1.120.202, was modified the same way as his first car, the 5.O-Liter engine was put into this chassis, but it remained a Lamborghini property, it wasn't owned by Wolf himself. This car was finished in a brilliant Bugatti light-blue, with natural leather upholstery, gold colored wheels and pin striping. The wheel-arch extensions were black and this time the rear wing was electrically adjustable from within the cockpit. This car also featured Walter Wolf signets and Canadian flags. This particular car was recently restored and is currently owned by a German.
Wolf's third 'special' was actually the first LP400 S built. He had the same 5.0-Liter engine installed, together with his double-disc Borg & Beck F1-type clutch and the eight-caliper disc brakes, which were now fully adjustable from within the cockpit.
This car was finished in an aggressive dark blue/black and featured special Walter Wolf Racing hubcaps.

Adjustments of engine are really good.
12 cylinders moves beautifully.
This car and the other 2 built are priceless. These were the cars that lead to the later iterations of the Countach with the flares and wing, etc. Some people like the pure early models and some like the later. Regardless, this car and the others built by Lamborghini for Walter Wolf are a major part of Lamborghini history.
One of the more unique Contaches I've ever seen. I love the wheels.
So good to see Valentino Balboni enjoying a drive in a Countach! I test drove a 5000S and an Anniversary model, and they are utterly raw and ferocious, just as you imagine they would be! My favourite supercar!
The man himself!
That is so damn cool!! I wish I could be there to see that. It looks great and sounds evil!
I have this car on a big poster I got hanging up in my hallway same exact car man awesome keep rocking on
I saw pictures of this car in magazines back in the 80's. This is by far the sexiest Countach ever to leave the factory.
That's not driving; that's parading.
would love to have been there to see Valentino driving this car!
Greatest tractor ever doing "sod all miles per gallon"!
Not sure about that pinstriping, but Gold phone dials on royal blue? Sign me up!
Valentino Balboni the legend
That sounds awesome! My ultimate dream car!
The countach is still the most beautiful car ever
The last countach was blue....i believe the movie cannon ball run got a lot of kids to fall in love with the lambo😇
Adrienne Barbeau and Tara Buckman driving it didn't hurt either .... Three sexy ladies.
Lamborghini Countach моя самая любимая машина с детства!

The best Countach
I love this blue color
Perfect condition. It's all handmade in italy. Amazing.👍
Listen the Twin-Turbo!!
Very nice. Like a mythical creature. A unicorn👍👍👍
No twin turbo on this.
No turbo on this
Una bella storia 👌😚
Am I the only one that likes those wheels better than the ones that came on later models? Well, besides Walter Wolf, of course. He seemed to like em
Rover Waters Okay, calm down. Even the later tall-body Countaches were somewhat restrictive for taller drivers, let alone the early cars. The Campagnolo Bravo wheels seen here ceased to be offered due to a destructive fire at the Campagnolo factory. Lamborghini thus switched to Ruote O.Z. as a wheel supplier out of necessity.
The Porsche and the end with the wing looks ridiculous
the third is now in japan with special 5.0L engine.
Walter Wolf, the 70's version of Liberty Walk
Spot on :-D
Liberty Walk...the late 2008 version of Walter Wolf
the front wheels look lost underneath it
I like it but don't love it. I still don't understand why there's so much trim and metal above the front tires compared to a narrow-tired LP400. The arch extensions aren't needed at all to clear the width of the front tires: 0:20 , 2:00 .
He sure loves to rev that thing... I bet he has a Harley too.
Ducatti -_-
JOE SHMOW he's revving it because these cars die out when you don't.
Harley's have the most annoying sound of all bikes,a huge nuisance.
かっこいいですね！
Amazing! My ultimate dream car! By the way, where are (2 of 3) and (3 of 3)?
hidekun1966 : Just 1 of 3 in existence I guess is what that means. 🤔
Walter Wolf had 3 Countaches back in the day ... icluding a white one with a Wing fixed right up the roof and no flares yet
The white one with the roof wing disappeared off somewhere, with no trace. The first Walter Wolf Countach (the red one), is currently in Japan in the possession of a Lamborghini specialist and enthusiast of the car. The third one (which is a darker blue) is also in Japan, in the collection of a Walter Wolf memorabilia fanatic. This one here is the second one.
やっぱスーパーカーブームで育った自分には、ランボルギーニではカウンタックが１番！！
Lamborghinis. Not Lamborghini's. *sigh*
Man it must be nice to be rich...
love all lambos when they have a big wing.
こいつもかっけーなー、赤・青・黒 これでベスト3カウンタック決まり！
Mr. Valentino drove a red one a purple one a blue one a black one a white the list just goes on and on and I'm yet to even sit in one😕😭😟😩....
I'm Canadian so I immediately recognized the Canada Flags. Where in Europe is this?

Who didn't pause the video at 1:10 didn't get what Lamborghini is all about
Its amazing that Lamborghini copied the Walter Wolf body kit, exactly
Mr. Smily balboni
oui la couleur par contre!!!!!
千両役者、日本にある１号車と並べてみたい🎵
Rice and angular.
やっぱペリスコープだよね。
Too bad the door was broken.
Why do they drive with the door up? Look at me everyone!
You would die of heat exhaustion if you didn't. Great looking cars, but absolutely evil to drive. AC, when equipped, barely worked, and the window opened a whopping four inches. The car is like being in an oven.
@@geographyinaction7814 stinks of fuel
the door was open for visibility, not for show, people...
the countach is the best 20 minutes behind a wheel, but try and deal with it in any city...
its poster car joy, but real life no sense...
octane bull shit
sounds like a v10, compared to modern v12s
この色も珍しくめっちゃカッコいいんだけど、
やっぱ個人的にはドア開けての運転は下品に見えてしまう。
ガルウイングは乗り降り、もしくはバックのときだけ見ていたい。
公道ではないからサービス精神なんだろうけど、普通に走ってるカウンタックが
自分は好き。
Out of date
Doesn't sound right.... (V8 sound), wrong mirrors, weels too much in the wells in front...
Another troll, eh? That is EXACTLY the sound of a Countach V12. And do you really think that a legend like Balboni would be driving a replica? SMH
Exhaust is blowing from joint to silencer. Amateur a f
What's with the horribly tacky red maple leaf decals on the rear fascia and above the headlamps?? So tacky and unmerited.
Walter Wolf is a Canadian business man who owned a Formula 1 team back in the day. He loved Canada so henceforth the decals.
I love bacon so I should put a decal of a pig on my LP400? 3 times?!Still tacky no matter how 'patriotic' the owner, regardless of what country is being represented by the decal.Decals on an exotic vehicle = immature fail. IMNSHO.
This car has been restored - it looks exactly like it did back when it was first built and painted, tacky decals included. Immature fail? Maybe in other circumstances, but not if you're making the car look like it did originally.
TachyonDriver - thanks for the clarification. Doesn't change the fact that multiple decals on an exotic are indeed, very tacky regardless of when installed. Peace.
stfu you don know nothing
Seems foolish to be driving along with the door open. If he can't see out let someone else drive it.
