Plato's day with the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 | Fifth Gear 

Maybe he can drive.....but he's stupid! He acted like the older Countach going under 6 seconds for 0-60mph and a top speed of 170 was a great thing or accomplishment....I had a 4 cylinder Chrysler Conquest that could do that! LOL

Looks fantastic

They also look Shite

EXACTLY! The Gallardo Turned he Lambo Marque... into a Salesman Car.

Quite funny actually when the Aventador and it's variants (S, SV, SVJ, etc) are max £500k cars but with the addition of a puny electric motor and supercapacitor (and of course the redesigned exterior although I don't like the looks, the OG Countach is far better looking) it's over two millions, no wonder it's a cynical cash grab and what's even worse is that there are cars like Centenario that doesn't even have the hybrid assistance, just a body kit Aventador and similarly priced liked this car! SMH. I would have understood that the body is made from all carbon fibre but so is that for the SVJ.

I love the look of this car, bit expensive for a VW?

Well, if you had the chance to legally steal the money off of corporate psychopaths and white collar criminals who want to emulate them? Wouldn't you? I mean, the whole point of hypercars is after all such that majority of the people buying them have more money than brains. And some don't even make a cent of profit, like the Bugatti is selling everything at a net-loss despite the outrageous price tag. I dunno of any other manufacturer whose cars are both profitable and technologically forward leaning enough to justify the price other than Köenigsegg. C. Von Köenigsegg is both business and engineering genius for what he has been able to achieve. And I still probably wouldn't buy one even if I were a multimillionaire. Because a several million dollar car just makes no sense.

Not this version of it.

I don't think it'll have the popularity to be considered a future classic.

It continues the "true" Car Magazine format, its forebare "old old" Top Gear started.

@@aidy6000 this Countach is for legends only. Chisato also drove one.

The creaky door was brilliant

That might have cost another $500K.

Maybe that’s why Jason says he wishes they’d gone more extreme. They could’ve done it but that means $$$$$

I don't want to be a pessimist, but can we really do something else nowadays? Most popular brands like BMW or Audi are getting fake exhausts, fake vents, fake sounds, worse materials, worse reliability, we got Tesla fandom despite it's terrible materials and the new Lamborghini Countach is just a Sian underneath.

What? The only thing they have in common is that they are low, wide, and, what... have 4 wheels? They are very different in design. These fundamental likenesses arent so much design choices as they are out of necessity for going fast and sticking to the road.

I think it's good that at least they tried to do a modern take on a classic. Imo it looks better than the old school one, I think the swoopy lines fit it better.

Because pop-up headlamp is unsafe ;)

@@theta924 don’t be stupid! Unsafe is walking on a motorway.

not just the pop ups but the wing

Modify....

The front could be a bit more agressive like the side and back of the car

Also paint it black. Just no front wing.🤮

Mine too, the Scottish Borders are stunning and so often bypassed in the rush to get to the Highlands.

This.

Typical Lamborghini

Even the cien or whatever it's called is probably based on the aventador

Who cares it’s a Lamborghini have u got one?!!……..

8? I dunno Feels alit longer

Rich Arabs is core customer base for new countach.

"Chevy dependability" hasn't been a thing in over a decade. Modern Chevys are junk lmao.

Never ever beats the mini! Come on man, u must be joking! That mini's of these times are great copy of back in the days!

Disagree. I don't care at all. It looks great.

@@doublestrokeroll One would definitely care when Aventador's are max 500k cars in the UK market but for 2M or more, the same package with little hybrid assistance, that's not right. And looks are subjective and this doesn't look good at all.

@@Amarjit_Singh I don't care. I think it looks amazing. Apparently you don't know what the word "subjective" means. If people will pay it then it's "right". Obviously those people think it's worth it.

The one in the nose, right?

@@aplanedividedthesky you know it lol!

Should’ve made it a dual clutch smh

@@EldePHX Not possible on the Aventador platform, need modifications extensively.

It's like going from a 3.75" cock to a big ol' 7.7".. a world of difference and you might need some stitches after

I would love to see them actually bring back the Countach full production. Look at Porsche they've never discontinued the 911. They need to bring back the Countach as a permanent production model. I hate when companies only make limited edition. Porsche has been building the same car for decades.

The 1989 25th anniversary Countach had 450 horse. The 88 5000-quattrovalve and 89 25th anniversary were my 2 favorites

Second episode was just shown. Quest and Discovery I think

Congratulations You just won a Toyota Camry sports 2022 🎉 DM no to claim your package

You will not get an F40 for 1 Million anymore lol

You certainly won't be finding an original Contach for less than £700k. QVs are now in the region of £500k. The cheapest are Anniversary models and they are commanding £400k. F40s are currently circa £1.2m.

@@pauln0371 i bought my countach at the right time in 1996, when they were cheap

true! and bla bla bla bla bla bla zzzz bla bla bla bla zzzz.... moving along! stop watching...

Genuine driver review versus bloated egotist review. Sad that so many enthusiasts follow those egotistical halfwits creating ridiculous commissions to fund their supercar buying. Shmee150 comes to mind, along with SCL with a truly irritating guys guy.

It's a segment from the TV show. It's not RU-vid content

Only if he knew it was the germans who built that car...

@@TwiztedJugallo Are you sure? Think you're wrong about that. It's built in the Italian factory and even if you're referring to the engine, which has nothing to do with doors squeaking, this uses the V12 which has been an in house engine for them for since 1963. This isn't the V10 Audi engine.

doesn't take being German to notice a squeaky door

@@doublestrokeroll Lambo belongs to VW group my man. Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Lambo, Porsche etc and only Porsche are almost completely independent from them. That 5.2L V10 engine that some of the Lambo's use is in Audi R8 made by Audi.

@@TwiztedJugallo Are you even listening? Where do they build Lamborghinis? What engine is being used in the new Countach? Read the last response I gave to you, and actually pay attention. Respond to the points I made that refuted your points instead of just stating the obvious. Or are you just a puppet who doesn't know how to think properly?

Ford GT wasn't even a production car back in the day, and definitely nowhere near as universally recognized as the Countach. No matter what Lamborghini did people would hate it which is why it shouldn't have been made.

The original one didn't have a wong

Point taken, but is that actually a bad thing?

@@Simon_PieMan But the overall package isn't even worth a million pound.

@@Amarjit_Singh Yet it’ll launch into the collectors aftermarkets at double its asking price. Lamborghini know that’s the premium gained through highly limited cars. Nice bonus for its VIP’s. (Very Iterative Purchasers)

@@brynleytalbot778 Not likely all these variants doubles up in value in the used car market, there's a Sián roadster for sale (in Canada) for about 5M usd, and the original msrp without options was close to 4M usd. There's also a coupé variant for sale for about 3.7M usd (in Canada) and it's original msrp was 3.6M usd without options. Both cars have around 350km. So what you're saying not entirely true for all such cars. While SVJ's in the US and Canada markets have appreciated quite a bit, infact double or more than double and it's essentially the same car minus the supercapacitor. Edit: Reference - Check Auto Trader Canada

@@brynleytalbot778 It's no Koenigsegg that'll double its value in 5-6months.

Create a playlist for driving experiences because for a non gamer you have page after page of drivel and I still don’t see your videos. Or you’re playing clickbait.

@@brynleytalbot778 those 2 videos are in a playlist!

hat is it to watch, he called it LP1 not LPI wtf?????

Insane

@@petegeorge6605 😊oo

@@petegeorge6605 LP1.

This is from a new episode! It’s called Fifth Gear Recharged - click the link in the 1st comment.

This is from a new episode! (Started broadcasting this week). Unfortunately Tiff left YEARS ago.

Yeah I agree. There’s so much more they could have done to bring it closer to the original. Imagine a huge wing, would be so outlandish but brilliant

@@James-oo1yq the old wing caused lift, they wanted this closer to the original I'm guessing.

Agreed, surely they could have done something with the rear lights for not too much cash. I'd like the spoiler too.

Man I really wish they put a wing on it, like on the original LP5000s.

Hi Rob, I directed this film and I promise plenty of Jason's own thoughts went into it - a lot of it completely unscripted. I confess I did get some of the information on the original Countach from my Observer Book of Automobiles, which I have had since the Countach was new, and I was 7. To be honest, the film was originally longer, but had to be cut down to squeeze in other stories, sorry! Hope you continue watching Fifth Gear Recharged though. Best wishes, Richard.
