1 of 3 Lamborghini Countach lp400 S 

Beautiful driver and best sportcar!

Despite being a Countach fanatic all my life I have NEVER ever seen that rear end!

I learned several things from this video. Loved It. Too many boring reviews and this isn’t one of them

The rear wing only gave drag and no downforce at all, it just making the car looks fantastic.

Magnificent. I am 59. When I was in college in Bloomington Indiana back in early 80s at Indiana University (IU), I could not even afford a Car and Driver magazine. I go to library and borrow the library Car and Driver magazine and read about this car sitting on the floor middle of book aisles and dream. What a magnificent vehicle and great great video. Mamma Mia. Many year later, I love cars and own beautiful Vettes and Mustangs, but this is where it all started.

I can never see enough of these beautiful cars

Learning about these cars is so awesome

Rolling art I restored an 1986 Countach years ago. there just hard to get in and out of its truly a unique experience.

I just know that Countach has single rear end reflector. Thank you for the information miss. Great review.

I think I rode in this car in The paddock of Laguna Seca back in the early 1993. same spec with the back end reflector. Or maybe it was one of the other 2?? Either way great memory of my 1st ride in the Countach!!

Countach: the sexiest beast ever ❤️🥵❤️🥵❤️🥵

She does have quite a special rear end! Great info and video, this channel needs more subs!!

Colleen, the best part of this video was where you showed us how you reverse. Very cute, thanks.

Great review! I'll never get enough videos of the Countach.

Thanks for the tour! Those were definitely "over the top"! Still looks good almost 50 years later from prototype.

There are 8 distinct runs of the countach not counting the prototype. LP400 is the initial run no fender flares LP400 S Series 1 LP400 S Series 2 LP400 S Series 3 (this car is a series 3) 5000S 5000QV 5000QV 88 25th Anniversary

Great video! Some interesting facts about this particular Countach.

Fantastic video you're a natural

Lovely car. I swear these videos get better every time. You're doing a great job Colleen. Thanks.

I'm a Ferrari fan but I would rather drive a Countach than any other cars. I wouldn't care about its irks and quirks. Thank you for a great review, as always.

I thought, i knew all about the Countach. But i‘ve never seen those taillights. Very interesting. Thank you!

That was an awesome video! Learned allot, thank you.

Fantastic video thank you 🏁

Thank you for the review , I was fortunate enough to drive in a few , back when I was 17 years of age there was a dealer Meadowlands car imports , that I worked in and I was in my glory unfortunately the owner died and the wife sold the busy and property and was no longer A Lamborghini dealer among other exotic car said he had , those few years made me car crazy of what I am today , your videos bring lots of memories back even on the GTO Ferrari one of my favorites

Sensational, but that huge reflector in between the rear tail light cluster is something I've NEVER seen before on any Countach and completely spoils the look from the rear IMO.

Fascinating videos ! The fuel filler cap in there ! Door locks ! Reversing !Beautiful car but bizarre !

Lamborghini Countach es uno de mis carros favoritos de toda la historia. Excelente vídeo. Saludos desde México.

I love the excitement in your voice. Nice to hear you bubble about a car you love.

The most iconic car of the 80's! I would take it over any new Lamborghini today!

Great video, thank you. Countach...simply awesome ❤

That rear reflector looks like the prototype! So cool

Excellent work.

I love these videos, its clear you have become really good at doing these too. I watched the Schumacher race car video and comparing it to this is night and day. I cant wait for more of these! Of course the irony there is I bet these now take longer to make since your production values are really good now. I really love the drone shots of you driving the car around. Am I the only one who thought 1 of 3 meant there were going to be two more videos of this car? I caught it while watching the video that she was talking about the reflector panel. But I still catch myself looking to see if she has done another on the Countach.

You obviously love this car. That makes me.love the video, thank you Colleen. Best video so far.

Hello from Ireland ☘️Great Video as always! The all time iconic poster car although I prefer the countach without the wing. That continuous reflector at the back looks awesome. Looking forward to your next video 👍

The Lamborghini Countach is my favorite sport car.

Im in Love with this Car😍

Just as Danielle Adetto said in the '87 interview: "A beautiful woman, and a Countach"

Love your vids!!! Lovely car, loveliest presenter!

Great Vid!!

Your are a great classic supercars presenter , keep up 👌

I think we need to see some more of the race cars in the back ground

Comes with a spare Reflector and its uncomfortable, Love it ! LOL Great job on the video

Great information piece on the LP400 S! Our channel took one for a drive a few weeks ago. Keep up the good work

This is a epic car! you understand a lot about cars! thanks for the explanation

Great review on this car and the Testarossa Colleen, for me the Testarossa Is much easier to live with. Both are beautiful and had my chance to get a Countach once. I have owned a Testarossa for over 10 years and still love it.

Really nice leather! On the interior too 👌

You love this car. Just.perfect.

Yes, the wing. I know it divides opinion but let's not pretend it's anything other than a styling exercise. It has no effect on stability and is designed to be aerodynamically neutral to avoid moving the centre of pressure rearwards. There is therefore no downforce, just as well if you look at what it's screwed to. It does however add a fair bit of drag so if you're into bar room bragging rights you should know it takes about 15 mph off the top speed. Thank you for highlighting this particular car. I'd never before seen even a picture of the 3 with the full-width reflector. Good point on the fuel tanks. I've never driven a 400S but on checking I see it does not have a balance pipe between the tanks so if one runs empty the fuel pumps will start sucking air. They did change that for later cars! This car looks really well presented. I hope its new owner also puts some good miles on it!

Even though I know it’s a really impractical car I would still love to own one. I own 3 Porsches and will trade them any day for a Countach!

I love the sound track of this video. I wish you had done a video of you just driving the car around town.

¡Un bello e icónico auto, con una hermosa presentadora! ¡Saludos!

It was the most outrageous car to ever exist. They get bashed by automotive journalists but I've talked to owners before and they refute just about all of their claims. Mechanically they were pretty solid. The switches were sourced by Fiat and they weren't that good but the engine and transmission were durable. I've seen three of them in my life and they give you a high that defies words.

If there were only three of these cars made, i frickin saw one in the City of Orange at the Shell station (55fwy and Chapman Ave). It was a "Burgundy" color with Gold trim (including wheels). The one i saw also had the front wing as well. I was taken aback by the continuous tail light that i had never seen before or again. Thanks for answering my personal "wtf was that car i saw ten years ago?" question. It's because there are only three, dude haha!

Damn she looks fine in this vid :D And the car looks ok too

@ 6:38 - When it comes to good automotive styling, years are totally irrelevant. Its either the sculptor is a good craftsman or not. To date, Bertone is the best automotive sculptor Europe had ever produced.

....and that rear reflector accentuates the rear design nicely.

Great video, I wouldnt like to slip off the clutch while reversing

Lançou a braba

Good lord she is Beautiful!!!

Still a slick design!!!

Beautiful car and beautiful woman... perfect combination

Sideswipe looks gorgeous

Bellissima!!

The dream of every man. Lamborghini Countach and my dream is Colleen 😂 .Great video Colleen lovely car but I prefer the the early LP 400 but those are a million plus now

When Lamborghinis were simply beautiful !

I think she is wrong about the fuel tanks though. They are connected between each other with a balance tube, so both tanks empty at the same time.

What a Hoot!! I like the way you had a giggle when backing it up!! Its an essential car to have driven in one's life!! They are a very extraordinary car for sure.

The window opens just enough to slide a license and a ticket through it! 😀

What is that Ferrari in the background with the Plexi glass spoiler on it?

Captivating... you should do a swimsuit calendar with all of these cars

Nice on that

Actually the original wing did just the opposite, it made the front very loose. (which already was quirk of the Countach) The modified wing did absolutely nothing but slow the car down at high speed. It looks really cool though, I admit.

Your videos are so amazing in production and the vehicles you review. You’re underrated. Just a tip from a marketer. I think you should change your RU-vid name to something more personalized and that is unique to you. I think it would bring a lot more traffic to your channel.👍🏼

just to give some Reference to the tire size compared to other cars... the Bugatti Chiron has a 355 width tire in the back!! so almost the same as a modern day bugatti. thats insane

Great video , love this car, proper super car , no compromise. Today they drive easy , have computers on them. This is awkward , poor rear visibility, heavy clutch and looks awesome. Forget what Jeremy Clarkson says this is the ultimate super car as it is a pin up. It is like if went out with Super Model you would want her to be high manintance ,a bit rebellious etc that why they Super Models not just normal models. Modern cars are much faster but as soon as they made them to drive easy etc I lost interest in them

Thanks for the vid, doing some catch up on older videos. Any chance you can do a review on the original LP 400? I know especially rare here in North America, but would be awesome to see the differences and evolution. Thanks again really enjoying the channel.

LP400S is the be-all end-all for me. Especially an S2 lowbody. Beautiful example. I dunno about the red detailing in the wheels, bit otherwise it's perfect. This car is the dream of a generation. A design that still blows more minds than almost any other car.

When she whips her hair reversing😋

at 3:43 Cliff dr Newport Beach looked familiar and that yellow hummer is always parked there

2:03 you said the wing added stability? I read that is was only for decorative purpose and did not help the performance of the car.

If we would be really picky ... 1. = The 1971 Geneva Countach prototype LP500, with a "steel plate" chassis (like the Urraco/Silhouette/Jalpa, Jarama, Espada). Also the Prototype had a "steel" body. 2.1. = The 1974 Countach LP400 Periscope. Now with a steel "tube frame" and "aluminium" body panels. 2.2. = The 1975 three "Walter Wolf" LP400, with wide body & huge rear wing. 3.1.1. = The 1978 LP400S "low roof & wide body" - inspired by the W.Wolf versions - and with "Bravo" wheels, a.k.a. "Series #1" (with small Stewart-Warner dashboard gauges). 3.1.2. = From 1979, still a "Series #1" with Bravo wheels, but now with bigger dashboard gauges. 3.2. = The 1979/1980 LP400S "Series #2", now with concave wheels (instead of the Bravo wheels from the series #1). 3.3. = The 1980 LP400S "Series #3", now with a "high roof" and modified ride-hight and reduced HP. 4.1. = The 1982 LP500S (or 5000S), looks like a LP400S Series #3 but with a bigger engine and more HP and upgraded suspension geometry. 4.2. = The 1984-1987 Countach LP5000S "RESTYLING PROTOTYPE" with significant changes done by Giulio Alfieri. The idea started in 1984 as "Project L150" and during 1987 this car was developed and finished/completed under Patrick Mimran himself! At the right and left sides the original NACA ducts were replaced with large side grilles, mounted in enlarged flat rear wings (like on a Porsche 935). The side windows now were 1-piece instead of the normal 2-pieces. 5.1. = The 1985 LP5000 QV "Euro", now with 4 valves per each cylinder and with six Weber double-carburetors "on top" (instead on side). 5.2. = The QV "US-version", the on top carburetors were replaced with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system. 6. = The 1987 Countach Evoluzione a.k.a. EVO, a prototype and testbed with carbon fiber frame and aluminium/carbon body panels and more HP and a re-designed suspension geometry. 7.1. = The QV "88 1/2", with side skirts, and with a re-designed dash board top (air outlets) and a more modern digital aircon controll unit. 7.2. = The 88 1/2 "USA" with fuel injection. 8.1. = The 1988/89 Countach 25th Anniversary "Euro", with heavily modified body style by Pagani. 8.2. = The 25th Anniversary "USA", with fuel injection instead of carburetors. If we would count each of these Countach variations as a "model", we would get 16 (!) different Countachs! (The unique non-official US-american "Injection Prototype" based on a LP5000S not included) @Colleen - I ❤ your videos. 👍 When it comes to "car taste" you're an "old dog" 😉🙂

2:08 true, the wing is useful

Wow.

I don’t think I heard anything for the first couple minutes till I realized, shit, I better start listening.

Nope, the wing did not help stability at high speeds. The wing made the front end light and affected the steering. The wing was only ever a sales gimmick because buyers in the USA wanted the wing. It was not fitted in the factory, but at a building just down the road from the factory.

This is the poster i dreamed of driving this 2years ago was horrible never meet your heroes right

I could seriously tap that!!! 😃

actually to correct you. that wing was there for 100% show. it has no working downforce function

The rear end is indeed very special

Like many people I've been a Countach fan for decades, yet I never knew about the dual gas tanks that provide fuel at the same time! Everything new I learn about these cars just makes them so much more ludicrous.

just also noticed this building where she is giving the interview about the car is on 16th this building used to be a gym I went to

😍

Actually the wing did NOT help with stability, it was only for looks and slowed the car down slightly, with its increased drag. Better research needed here.

80's !!!!!

Shes definitely rare herself. these cars from what ive seen have been known to bring girls to tears because of how uncomfortable they are.

Everyone had a poster of the Futuristic Lamborghini countach on THEIR wall in the 80s.

I’ve always wanted to know more about the LP400 S Series 3 cars, there’s not much on them. Never seen ‘full reflector’ rear end on a Countach before.

I am curious to know which is more fun and which is easier to live with; a Countach or a Pantera, both of the early 80s vintage. I currently own two DeLoreans and recently test drove a 1988 Lotus Esprit, and I can confirm that the DeLorean has a more comfortable interior volume for long trips and is easier to get into and out of than the Lotus Esprit. The Lotus seat was more comfortable than the DeLorean seat, but I prefer to recline more than the Lotus allows and was too "upright" in the Lotus for my comfort. I do long road trips, 1,000+ miles in just a few days.

From the Kitchen in the garage ? ;))
