Just love that simplicity on those classic cars. No fancy screens being everywhere, no bullshit features, just a pure machine and a pure driver. That’s it! And that’s all I am asking for!
I'm with you 100% on the dash being real. I believe wholeheartedly that they could have/should have done a nicer dash cluster than they did. The rectangular box that forms the dash, looks like a drunk carpenter did this on his lunch hour. It doesn't even look "racy". Simple like old air cooled 011 Porsche is what I call a dash cluster, mmmmmm!
Would have figured you to be a Diablo kid. I was born in ‘79 and Countach for life. My cousin was born in ‘85 and him and all his little friends were team Diablo.
This makes so much more sense now... And when you're thinking I couldn't start mine for 20 +++ years... This is such a revelatory information, who could have thought about it?! Genius.....
The Countach really is the OG Supercar ❤️🔥 Nothing from that era comes even remotely close to beating the countach Design wise or otherwise. That thing single-handedly shaped the way how the future supercars would be built. First Mid Engine car after the Miura that had the design that made it look like a UFO and of course the iconic Lambo doors that we all know and love 🧡. Even Ferrari couldn’t help but jump on the mid engine train and came out with the Testarossa 10 years after Lamborghini originally launched the Countach in 1974, And still to this day this car looks amazing. This car really did age like fine wine. No they’re not the most reliable, not the most comfortable and definitely not the easiest car to drive which actually makes it special. It’s about the experience, the drama, the theatrics, the show that it puts on for you that makes you grin from ear to ear. I’ve had the privilege to ride in a few nice cars including rarris and Lambos and I have to say nothing excites me more than a big V12 Lambo. Sure the V10s are great and far more reliable than the V12s but the V12s bro. Cant really beat them with anything. The chills than run down your spine when you’re riding or driving a V12 Lambo are insane and the Countach was what started it all. Every single Lamborghini that came out after the Countach has that Lambo DNA in them. The Diablo, The Murci, The Aventador, The new Revuelto hell even the Gallardo and the Huracan all have that one special thing in them that makes them instantly recognisable as a Lamborghini which is their iconic Wedge shaped design and today my friends pretty much every single supercar tries to copy and implement some of that design into their cars. Lamborghini has reached a level where even non car people and people who’ve been living under a rock know about the brand. (Also Ferrari cuz they’ve been in the game longer and no doubt they are classy but Lamborghini defines Supercar today because of their aggressive styling and outrageous looks coupled with engines that absolutely scream) FUNNY STORY: One day I was out n about with my family full of non car people who don’t even know the difference between two different cars(except my dad and my brother cuz we are the only 3 car guys in the family) we got to behold the sight of a beautiful Corvette C8 and the first thing that came out of everyones mouth at the same time was “IS THAT A LAMBORGHINI?” 😂 Me my brother and my dad burst out laughing after telling them No it’s not and then they asked if it was a ferrari then? And I said no its not a Ferrari either, which was hysterical cuz those were the only Sports Car/Super car names that they could think of 😂
@@bigt43 that's a fair observation, even though I don't quite know what you were going with on the last bit there. Just noticed the high idle, thought she was freshly cold started. I would've at least waited till it idled down.
Yes but can you see we’ll out of your prius. Bet you can, seeing is for broke people rich people have to lean their body out of the door backwards to pull out of a driveway 😩
@@thegingerpowerranger Well, you said absolutely nothing in about 12 words, so goodonya. In case you didn't know, the Prius is gas engine doesn't start up until it's needed. I will be replacing my Prius with an EV here in the next year to two years. Tesla is not the future because they don't appear to have realistic plans for reasonably priced vehicles. GM does and a host of other manufacturers do.
Oh, geeee, your comment is so original..... Wait, no it's just like the other 1000 same comments. No it's not like any other car, do you have to prime the fuel pump in every other car?
@@rorrycalhoun836 Yes, any fuel injected car since 1980 has an electric pump that pressurizes when you turn on the key. Try it with the door open and listen.
@@rorrycalhoun836 you dont have to prime the pump, any time the key is in or past the "run" position itll be sending power to the pump. Usually people just go straight to cranking instead of waiting for the pump, which means cranking just takes a little longer as you wait for fuel pressure. So yes, exactly like pretty much every other manual ever.
Sure didn't seem like he warmed it up lol.. I usually wait 30 seconds before dropping it Into gear.. no heavy throttle until it's almost in the middle of the coolant gauge
Yeah, a lot of these classic exotics have super basic interiors that lack tons of quality of life options. The Acura NSX is another one with a pitiful interior.
@@Nottotti-eg9nf i wasn’t talking about reliability, i am talking about the vibe that futuristic white clean interior gives, i would just swap the sits to something more comfy and just drive for hours with an interior like that
You forgot the "regret the purchase because looking at a picture of Countach and driving one are two different stories separated by misery" step. Otherwise, good video, thank you for the community service.
You don't know anything about cars bud. Oil circulation ? No one says that ? Oil pressure happens immediately when the car is started. Go head try it yourself go start a car a look at oil pressure gauge and besides you don't know how long after it was started he revved it up there is this thing called editing. Do you know how an engine works? Do you know what actual rod bearings look like and how they work ?
*I have a Lamborghini Countach sitting in my garage for quite sometime and thanks this video I will finally be able to start it and drive it, thanks man.*
My name is Robin I live in Connecticut and I had the exact 1990 Lamborghini 25th anniversary Countach production number 317. Don't let them fool you it handles a lot better than you think. It does not have a weak transmission or glitchy transmission. But yes it does have a clutch make a 1963 Peterbilt tractor trailer. LOL is going to take a lot of left leg to push that clutch. But the car handles way better than they claim. And I know for a fact driving it myself digital computer prove.

And that's a fact from someone who beat the crap out of one everyday I love that Countach
Pretty much, except you don’t have to press the brake pedal as well as the clutch pedal in the manuals I have owned. Curious as to why this is required for this car.
@@alexjackson936 Maybe it isn't required but the guy in video is used to driving manual on hilly areas so would default on brakes when clutch is down. He didnt make a script for the video so automatically mentioned his habit.
Open the door, get in, put the key in the ignition, depress the break and clutch pedals, turn the key halfway to prime the gas pump, start the car... Soooo, it's the exact same thing you do to EVERY car with a standard shift transmission and fuel injection.. Got it. Thanks.
I already knew most of those steps except for: "Finally, rev the engine high if starting cold. This assures gainful employment for your local Lamborghini service department."
You basically explained how to start any car. There was literally nothing different to starting any other pre-1990s car. Also, congratulations on revving the living shit out of it on a cold start. That is the wisest thing I’ve seen anyone do in a long while.

I genuinely love the countach because it literally represents the 80s just like the DMC delorean
I’d say no single car can represent the 80s, because of how different, awesome and individual cars were.
