It is still a frustration to me that the only Countach I have ever seen in the wild is an Anniversary. :? (And that was about 30yrs ago!)

The QV is Countach perfection for me. The Anniversary side skirts are a visual abomination beside a round-belly Countach and those wheels are no wider but they are a fussy split-rim design that look shrunken beside the beautifully simple QV items.

I’m not fucking buying this one. :evil:

I’ve only ever seen an LP400 in Monaco. It was poo brown.

I don’t dislike the Anniversary as much as I used to, but I’d still far rather have a QV like Harry M’s. But in white, with white wheels.

Like the green leather in this one, but red piping?! 😄

This is the only time I have ever wished that I was more than slightly red/green colourblind.

That is foul. It needs a comprehensive conversion to inject some taste.

To me, the Countach is all about excess and subtlety and elegance has no place in it's design. Therefore, I'll take an Anniversary but I'll put a second wing on top of the first wing and put another rear wing on the front bumber. Like this one but bigger:

That is stunning. I would drive it wearing my best green shirt and red braces. Yes possibly minus trousers.

Never been a fan of the wedge styling, did they really need a big rear wing ?

I'd rather have this:

Whilst you have been away THE FACTS have been established.

0. Wedge designs are of their time and awesume.

1. Anyone who thinks the Countach looks better with the rear wing is a massive walloper.

2. And yet the Pantera definitely needs it.

FACTS. These are FACTS.

1) Countach doesn’t look right without the wing

2) early slim panteras are much better than the wide body kitted gt5’s

Everyone knows the Countach rear wing does absolutely nothing.


Everyone with even the mildest grip on reality knows they look shit without it.


Bertone agreed with this*

So we have absolute proof that Mik agrees that they look better with it.
