When I was 9 years old, I was playing with some hotwheels at school and there was this one car that was really slick and different looking. It just looked fast. I said, "I'm gonna have one of these one day." I flipped the car over to see what kind it was and that was the first time I read the word Lamborghini. Fast forward to today, 21 years later. I look in my garage to see, sitting in the dark: nothing. I rent, I don't have money for a garage, let alone a Lamborghini. What, did you think this would be an inspiring story or something?
Hah, poors are so weak. Just pull yourself up by your boot straps. Buckle down, invest a million dollars. You’ll have ten hamborghjnjs in no time like me.
In case anyone wonders, the Countach in Wolf of Wallstreet was a real one because the director thought that destroying a replica wouldn't look real. However, after filming was done the car got restored to it's former glory
The sad part is jordan belfort destroyed a mercedes in real life instead of a countach. I guess that wasn't flashy enough for the movie. There were 2 cars in the movie. The movie studio owned the one that was destroyed and there was a second privately owned one for some of the driving shots. I met the gentleman who owns that car last summer at an Italian car show.
Everyday James' sister would stop by his cage, lift her skirt and say "LA LA LA YOU NO GET THIS!!". One day James break out of cage.......and he "get this". {0.o} 😆😂🤣

@@purwantiallan5089 yeah, and holy shit im glad for it. Those cars are cool and all but are unconfortable to drive, not even stripped down race car unconfortable , just borderline unconfortable
The OG Countach is simply the best looking car of all time. Beating out even the Testarossa in terms of sheer visual WOW factor. its pure, refined, unadulterated beauty
My great grandfather was friends with Ferrucio Lamborghini and had him build a custom Countach in the 70's. He passed away before I could remember him but I always remember the stories of the amazing exotic car collection he had. If you Google Albert Silvera Countach, you'll see articles about it. It even was the main cover photo of one of Car and Driver's magazine issues. It's been passed down by different collectors since then, but I would love to see it in person someday.

Funny cause it's probably the least I've laughed at a Donut video, they've changed a lot over the years and now it's filled with random SCREAMING to make funny moments.
The countach is where my love for cars began. I’ll never forget seeing it for the first time in San Francisco at a car show when I was 6. I loved it so much my dad bought me a black toy model of it
The story about the name coming from the unveiling is often repeated, but actually according to Gandini (in the article "Not Just Bulls: the Creator Tells Us the Story Behind the Name Countach") they had a profiler on the team who made the locks and did other little jobs and who used that swear often; Gandini joked that they should use that as the name, other people liked it, and the joke name became the real name.
I remember the first time I saw the beginning of Cannonball Run in the late 80s. I sort of knew what the Countach was from seeing it on posters and trapper keepers, and I had a transformer that turned into a red countach, but I’d never seen one in action before People always broke the doors off my transformer toy because the didn’t understand how they were supposed to open. Had to superglue them back
My best friends dad rented a LP5000 for a weekend and because we were like family i was allowed to go on the trip in their daily car with his wife and daughter. At some point we all got a ride and it was absolutly glorious, the little me was so impressed with the sound and acceleration. That was the point i fell in love with cars and speed and nowadays im a proud car mechanic who loves his job.
I got to ride in one as a kid, ~160 mph in one of the 25th anniversary editions back in 1997 down the 405 freeway in Los Angeles. My mom's friend owned one, that moment alone made me fall in love with Lamborghini, the engine noise was so loud the dude had helicopter comms headsets in the car so he could talk to passengers. One of my best memories from childhood, I'll never forget that car it was Gloss white with blue leather interior. It broke my heart watching one get nuked in TWoWS.
I love this car soo much… when i was in school me and my friend fooled a couple of other friends we had a secret countach in our garage and we were working on rebuilding it … just the thought of owning this car puts such a big smile on my face 🔥💯
Those are for the film car only, the real production car has the standart 4 tips. Also the front "spoiler" is to conform with US laws and is designated as "bumper" just to make the papers work "for legal purposes"
The drivetrain packaging between the Miura and Countach was a little more nuanced. Because the v12 in the Miura was transverse, the gearbox was mounted inside the engine crankcase for packaging. This raises the engine higher in the chassis than it normally would’ve be, which is bad for Center of Gravity. By putting the gearbox in front of the engine in the Countach, both the engine and gearbox can be lower in the chassis which lowers the CG which is good for handling and safety,
When I think of the Countach I think of the old days and that makes me like the cars more. The boys in our family used to sit and talk and dream about those cars because we didn't have the Internet to allow us to pull one up when we wanted to see one.Back in those days there were other exotic cars, but nothing compared to the Countach.It was not until Lamborghini started making the Diablo and then some of the other cars that I had seen another vehicle that I wanted that much.
I love these videos so much. The story about Enzo on the streets of Chicago just puts the cherry on top. So much research must go into these. Good bloody work gents
So sad James stopped making up to speed episodes, that's the reason why i started following the channel years ago, i understand the reason... but they never did the Monster Truck episode...
A few years ago I was at a gas station in Utah in my 2006 LPE-606 c6 z06 corvette and enjoying my night, when a sound I’d never heard neared , I turned to the entrance and here come the first Countache I’ve ever seen and it flew in the entrance bashing the shit out of the front lower bumper dragging it up the slope and the drive pushed on the accereator forcing the bumper up the concrete. I wanted to cry, it was a worse sound than nails on a chalk board. The legend pulls in in front of my car and I notice it’s disgustingly dirty, surely hadn’t been washed in a good 6 months or more and the back of the car up the tail above the exhaust tips was black from the exhaust fading up the paint it was so sad, door opened and a freakin 16 year old kid gets out , I recognized him as one of the slammed Subaru STI kids , his was pretty awesome, full interior cage , Rotta wheels and a big turbo. I walked up and had to see if it was a real one or replica and it was real, I asked him what the story was and he said his grandpa was Charles Schultz , the Peanuts cartoon comic writer. He passed away and his daughter, this kids mom moved into his alpine utah mansion and apparently it had an under aground garage with a bunch of 80’s exotics. He said they never drive them becasue their a pain in the ass and uncomfortable and I wanted to punch him in the mouth. I told him it was a dream car of mine and that he really needs to have it detailed. He laughed and then got in driving off. How could a young kid not appreciate driving a damn beautiful red Countache??? So sad.
You know damn well when James calls up the cable company to order internet service, goes to the bank, or gets pulled over by a cop for speeding, he never breaks character and talks the same as in his videos.

The open scenes to The Cannonball Run.... OH THE SONG OF THAT SCREAMING COUNTACH STILL GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS... no really I just watched the first 4 minutes of the movie again! Great episode!
Im sad that he missed two important things about the Cannon Ball run countach, it was the same one that was imported by the guy for the real cannon ball run, it was also the reason that they stopped having the cannonball run because the guy that ran it, was worried that the guy who bought it would wreck it.

Why do these up to speed episodes like this make me wanna cry at the end? Maybe just great storytelling about complete driven passion. I love what you do James
I fell in love with the car ever since I saw it in Twisted Metal and NFS3: Hot Pursuit on the PS1 and incidently NFS3 also made me love the Diablo and the Lamboghini brand.
Entry level Lambo. 😂 Reminds me of a scene in a movie I can't remember; An everyday girl gets picked up in a Bentley for something or other and is wowed by it. She asks the driver if it's a Rolls Royce. He tells her it's a Bentley and she says, _"Oh. That must be a discount Rolls."_ The driver just smirks. 😂
Ferruccio Lamborghini sold the car company because he was in debt with the tractor company, wich were split (and the second one was not an LLC) - it wasn't in debt with the tractor company also for poor management, but because they had a massive delivery in Bolivia that didn't happen because of a sudden insurrection. He was described as temperamental, but he was not a bad businessman.

I will proudly admit that I was one of those young boys that picked up a Countach poster at the schoolastic book fair 💪🏻, I also had a scale model I made and painted yellow that I still have. Best looking car ever IMO
It is wrong to say that Ferrari 365 bb and Testarossa's had a boxer engine, it has a v engine that was flat and so it has different firing order and crankshaft than a boxer equivalent would have had.
@@RoverWaters yes but it is not boxer engine, it works on same principle as V engine, flat v has the same type of crankshaft as V, and boxer has different
I was born in the middle 70’s grown up and the 80’s and YES that scene in cannonball run did changed the face of of earth forever , if you were a kid in the 80’s you would’ve seen the Lamborghini poster in almost every 80’s kids room ! Absolutely 80’s icon

These videos get better with every episode. And I've been watching for a long time. James is only two years younger than myself and I absolutely love the references he makes that are iconic to his and my era. Keep it up. Subscriber for life baby!
❤I love this video at large but starting the YEAR with a GREAT INVESTMENT should be the wisest thing every individual should do. I will advice everybody who is into crypto to stick with ETH and BTC as much as you can guys.If everyone sells when it starts to fall, which at one point it will, the dream maybe lost because of it being too volatile for companies to get behind.
I invested $2,500 and I made $8,450 weekly trading with him, I only trust Mr Bryan Nelson With my investment. I am now able to send my kids to a great school in LA, all thanks to Mr Bryan nelson ..Good man ❤️
Great video, man. But there's one thing: minute 7:20, Lamborghini was an excellent business man and his car company was doin' great. In the late 60s, the Bolivian government ordered 5000 Lamborghini tractors and the company went into debt to produce them quickly. Meanwhile, there was a coup d'état in Bolivia and the tractors remained unsold. In order not to go bankrupt, Ferruccio was forced to sell the car branch of his company.
I'm a 90's born kid and spent my life in the era of the murcielago, and yet, I still found myself in love with the countach. Just the way it looks it's so much more exotic than the murcielago, but also due to me being a huge fan of synthwave stuff haha
Just finnished watching all the up to speed episodes, i'm new to the channel, and i love donut media. James is very passionate, and i love it! Gonna check out your podcast and some other videos next, keep up the awesome work. MO POWA BEIBE!! Bumper 2 bumper is also super cool!
The Countach is responsible for my love of super cars, and truthfully my love of cars. The Diablo was a great replacement, but the Countach holds a spot in my heart.
Ferrari flat 12 described is not a Boxer Configuration, this engine opposing pistons shared a crank pin and moved in unison, the boxer configuration requires separate crank pins for these. In essence, if viewed from behind the car the 2 opposing pistons would move to the right or left @ the same time, boxer config indicates they move in opposite direction @ all times. It is not like a Subaru or Porsche. From a engineering perspective it is like saying the 458 Italia V8 is like a the current standard Mustang V8, because they're are both V8's with 32 valve heads.
22:24 Fun Fact: Lamborghini struggled to get the Countach LP-400 homologated after adding the rear wing as it was completely blocking the, already abysmal, rear view for the driver. BUT Lamborghini wanted to use the rear wing ANYWAYS. So, a Countach would be rolled off the line after assembly and then a mechanic would walk to the countach that needed to be fitted with the wing and SCREW it on. Absolute legends!!
Tell you what, you guys sure know how to keep people engaged the ENTIRE video. I came here with the intent of only watching 5-10 minutes tops, but when the video ended I was like, "wait, thats it?" before realizing I had been sitting here for the past 22 minutes lol.
i got through it in less than 10 minutes. My formula is simple: every time james starts yelling, I fast forward till he stops. There's literally less than half of the episode where he actually talks lol

The buff horses plug actually had me laughing in the middle of my office. Tempted to buy one. Good job media company.
he wasn’t lying about the aerodynamics. the countach drag coef. is 0.42
the astrovan is 0.38
The open scenes to The Cannonball Run.... OH THE SONG OF THAT SCREAMING COUNTACH STILL GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS... no really I just watched the first 4 minutes of the movie again! Great episode!
What a lovely episode, I laughed, I was emotional, and I googled used Countach for sale... pretty consistent for this show. Thanks!
I recently watched a documentary about this machine, specifically the one used in the Cannonball Run movie. It was awesome!
That documentary is nuts amazing
What’s the name?

More frequent up to speed please 🤗🤗😍😍
every Thursday!
Im sad that he missed two important things about the Cannon Ball run countach, it was the same one that was imported by the guy for the real cannon ball run, it was also the reason that they stopped having the cannonball run because the guy that ran it, was worried that the guy who bought it would wreck it.
The Countach is the best and coolest car ever made. No question ask. No one built a that looked so awesome ever again. 🤘
LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH?! Oooh this is going to be good!
Oh yeah

"I'm not trying to be an organic body, I'm a machine." ~L.C. (And that brute honesty is why it's the best supercar that COULD ever exist.)
Walter Wolf was an absolute dude. I once watched him eat a whole apple - stalk, pips, core and everything...
The last up to speed ❤
I feel like "Factor" was like "no, no, no. It's our advertisement, you have to say what we want you to say in our way (and nothing zany), and don't put the yellow bar showing the progress of the ad..." And yet this is the first time ever that I have skipped an ad on this channel.
Absolutely magnificent machine, an icon of great engineering
Before I’ve even started to watch this video, you guys already had my like. It was fun to see that the was the first sentence of the episode 😆 Amazing content, as usual!
The Countach lead the way for the hyper cars we have today
James, 🤟 this was without a doubt one of your most epic episodes. Period. Pure genius, both for its info and comedic value. Bravo man bravo 🎉
Why do these up to speed episodes like this make me wanna cry at the end? Maybe just great storytelling about complete driven passion. I love what you do James
Just taking a minute to say I really appreciate the beautiful and hilarious editing bits. 😁
I fell in love with the car ever since I saw it in Twisted Metal and NFS3: Hot Pursuit on the PS1 and incidently NFS3 also made me love the Diablo and the Lamboghini brand.
Oh god its such a fine tractor :O
BEST U2S YET!!! GREAT ENERGY, DIALOG, PRESENTATION, AND EDITING. AWESOME EPISODE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rocky didn't drive a Testarossa in that scene, he drove a Lamborghini Jalpa, basically the entry-level Lambo of the time.
Entry level Lambo. 😂
Reminds me of a scene in a movie I can't remember;
An everyday girl gets picked up in a Bentley for something or other and is wowed by it.
She asks the driver if it's a Rolls Royce.
He tells her it's a Bentley and she says, _"Oh. That must be a discount Rolls."_
The driver just smirks. 😂
*Countach looks like a Fricking SPACESHIP 🚀!!!*
Many people don’t know that the Muira’s design was heavily influenced by the Ford GT40
Ford ? you mean a bitish Lola MK6
@@altergreenhorn Damn, never knew that
@@altergreenhorn bitish? You mean BRITISH
@@darkchild130 Bri ish
This car is so awesome you have a full up to speed for it
Edit: why did you forget the new countach
Ferruccio Lamborghini sold the car company because he was in debt with the tractor company, wich were split (and the second one was not an LLC) - it wasn't in debt with the tractor company also for poor management, but because they had a massive delivery in Bolivia that didn't happen because of a sudden insurrection. He was described as temperamental, but he was not a bad businessman.
Its sleek, unique and 80's vibe wedge shape design would never been forgotten as a big leap in automotive history

Love the show, love that Lamborghine-Mashine! Thanks a lot! How about an Up to Speed on the Opel Manta/Calibra?
doubt it since it never sold in the US and that's Donut Media's prime market so..
That being said, I personally LOVE them, especially the Calibra!
Can we get an up to speed on Gulf? I wanna learn more about them they seem pretty iconic
13:22
That’s so brave of her.
Pretty much the best episode of all time
I will proudly admit that I was one of those young boys that picked up a Countach poster at the schoolastic book fair 💪🏻, I also had a scale model I made and painted yellow that I still have. Best looking car ever IMO
But did you get a goosebumps book too?
@@cujotwentysix7519 hells yes I did
It is wrong to say that Ferrari 365 bb and Testarossa's had a boxer engine, it has a v engine that was flat and so it has different firing order and crankshaft than a boxer equivalent would have had.
How can a V engine be flat?
@@crybaby1363 v angle is increased to 180 degrees, but for more info just look it up
@@sandrios lol
you should go learn some geometry
flat 12 is different than a V12
@@RoverWaters yes but it is not boxer engine, it works on same principle as V engine, flat v has the same type of crankshaft as V, and boxer has different
rocky had a jalpa, not a countach
One of my favorite cars ever because of how crazy it looks!
I was born in the middle 70’s grown up and the 80’s and YES that scene in cannonball run did changed the face of of earth forever , if you were a kid in the 80’s you would’ve seen the Lamborghini poster in almost every 80’s kids room ! Absolutely 80’s icon
"Came out in 1981, just like my sister"
old and used
One of the hottest cars ever made🔥🔥🔥

PLEASE DO AN UP TO SPEED FOR THE NEW COUNTACH! I honestly thought you would’ve mentioned it in this video
These videos get better with every episode. And I've been watching for a long time. James is only two years younger than myself and I absolutely love the references he makes that are iconic to his and my era. Keep it up. Subscriber for life baby!
man this show just keeps getting better
Day 286 of asking Donut to bring old B2B back
I rly miss those episodes ngl cuz it was my favorite series on donut
Bring ‘em back
how's that working out for you?
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Greg Gonzalez has been managing my trade for months and I keep making profits every week, I made $9,130 last week
bb
means berlinetta boxer
❤I love this video at large but starting the YEAR with a GREAT INVESTMENT should be the wisest thing every individual should do. I will advice everybody who is into crypto to stick with ETH and BTC as much as you can guys.If everyone sells when it starts to fall, which at one point it will, the dream maybe lost because of it being too volatile for companies to get behind.
@peter west I heard a lot of investing with Mr Bryan Nelson and how good he is, please how safe are the profit?
I invested $2,500 and I made $8,450 weekly trading with him, I only trust Mr Bryan Nelson With my investment. I am now able to send my kids to a great school in LA, all thanks to Mr Bryan nelson ..Good man ❤️
I miss this format. This is the reason I subbed to donut.
This guy is very good at his job. Respect.
Favourite Lamborghini ever produced
That wasn't a Testarossa in Rocky IV. That was a Lamborghini Jalpa.
Great video, man. But there's one thing: minute 7:20, Lamborghini was an excellent business man and his car company was doin' great. In the late 60s, the Bolivian government ordered 5000 Lamborghini tractors and the company went into debt to produce them quickly. Meanwhile, there was a coup d'état in Bolivia and the tractors remained unsold. In order not to go bankrupt, Ferruccio was forced to sell the car branch of his company.
I'm a 90's born kid and spent my life in the era of the murcielago, and yet, I still found myself in love with the countach. Just the way it looks it's so much more exotic than the murcielago, but also due to me being a huge fan of synthwave stuff haha
Just finnished watching all the up to speed episodes, i'm new to the channel, and i love donut media. James is very passionate, and i love it!
Gonna check out your podcast and some other videos next, keep up the awesome work. MO POWA BEIBE!!
Bumper 2 bumper is also super cool!
The Countach is responsible for my love of super cars, and truthfully my love of cars. The Diablo was a great replacement, but the Countach holds a spot in my heart.
The Contact is my da's favorite car. He's gonna flip when he sees this! Good job!
Ferrari flat 12 described is not a Boxer Configuration, this engine opposing pistons shared a crank pin and moved in unison, the boxer configuration requires separate crank pins for these. In essence, if viewed from behind the car the 2 opposing pistons would move to the right or left @ the same time, boxer config indicates they move in opposite direction @ all times. It is not like a Subaru or Porsche. From a engineering perspective it is like saying the 458 Italia V8 is like a the current standard Mustang V8, because they're are both V8's with 32 valve heads.
22:24 Fun Fact: Lamborghini struggled to get the Countach LP-400 homologated after adding the rear wing as it was completely blocking the, already abysmal, rear view for the driver. BUT Lamborghini wanted to use the rear wing ANYWAYS. So, a Countach would be rolled off the line after assembly and then a mechanic would walk to the countach that needed to be fitted with the wing and SCREW it on. Absolute legends!!
Thanks James!
Tell you what, you guys sure know how to keep people engaged the ENTIRE video. I came here with the intent of only watching 5-10 minutes tops, but when the video ended I was like, "wait, thats it?" before realizing I had been sitting here for the past 22 minutes lol.
i got through it in less than 10 minutes. My formula is simple: every time james starts yelling, I fast forward till he stops. There's literally less than half of the episode where he actually talks lol
@@machupikachu1085 lmao
Thankyou for the yellow progression line under the advertisement! I wish every channel did that!
Lamborghini Countach even in 2022, still legend.
13:24 this casual remark about his sister is why i love the writers at donut. perfect story telling and jokes.
Arguably the greatest car ever designed
