  • To celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Countach LP 400 S that starred in the movie “The Cannonball Run” we reunited Adrienne Barbeau and Tara Buckman, the two actresses who won the film’s titular race, for the first time since the movie’s release on 19 June 1981.
    The scenes from this cult movie became such a legendary reference among car lovers that the Countach became one of the very few vehicles registered at the Library of Congress, one of the most respected institutions in the United States.
    Take a seat and enjoy the video.

    Oh wow, what a joy to see the two hot ladies and the legendary Canonball Countach again! Presented by Lamborghini itself! The opening scene always gives you goosebumps when you hear the screaming twelve-cylinder engine.
    I saw the Lamborghini Countach for the first time in a tiny showroom in my hometown of Düsseldorf at the end of the 1970s and was and still I am in love with the Countach. The hottest car ever on wheels. As beautiful as the new Lamborghinis are, they are also fast and modern. But, no other car can match the original Countach design and engine sound. Thank you for this beautiful memory!

    This scene became an iconic and defining moment of everyone born in the 80s, I saw it in the early 90s where the movie re-run frequently. The staggering fact about the Countach is not only the way it looks, but how it was relevant for more than 30 years. These two ladies have been the fever dream for many young lads (I was too young to understand the implications), however props to Lambo staff to acknowledge the significance, this movie actually still has.

    A gentleman in my hometown bought that original car, and a friend of mine restored the car back to the original color of first movie. They used this car in multiple movies and it had been painted about four or five different colors. He contacted Lamborghini and got the original paint they used that year and leather for the seats. Got to ride in it after it was restored, very loud, very brutal car. A huge grin on my face the whole time, the gentleman that owned the car died a few years later and I never found out where the car ended up.

I told her that although I enjoyed her in other movies (she was hilarious in Creepshow), my favorite role of hers was in Cannonball Run. I had her sign my DVD of Cannonball Run, and she was very flattered. She's surprisingly short and was wearing those same snakeskin boots seen in the video! I asked if she ever got to drive the Lamborghini for real, and she said they let her drive it across a parking lot. She had to put a block of wood under her foot to reach the pedal, which she mentions in this video. Great stuff!

    Agree. The best opening of any film, especially with the Ray Davis soundtrack. It just worked - ! 😅
    And with Adrienne Barbeau, nuff said - ! ❤

    I drove my Countach every day back in high school. And drove it, and drove it, and drove it.

    I had such a mad crush on Tara Buckman when I was a kid. I watched Cannonball Run countless times...especially the beginning. This is so awesome seeing them together again!!

    I would love to see another Cannonball Run movie in the future! With a Lamborghini as the poster car!
