The Lamborghini Countach Is the Coolest Supercar Ever 

Loved detailing the quirks and features! I found a Carrera GT key under the seat. Weird...

Doug is someone that i am very happy for. He deserves all his success ❤

Doug: the design of this car is beyond iconic most eye catching car ever built Also Doug: gives styling a 9 for the dougscore

This was the epitome of ALL supercars. It was the one on cannonball Run that just seemed like it was 30 years ahead of its time and was faster than anything ever seen. The crazy doors, the awesome sound, there was nothing like it anywhere on the planet. Not even race cars got me excited like this one.

My experience with an '85 downdraft carbureted model: the wing was $5,000 extra and installed in the Lambo factory parking lot. Yellow required an extra $5,000 to the deposit. Oh, and it cost $165,000 Canadian in 1985.

I love Doug’s enthusiasm when he is reviewing these analog super cars. It is truly infectious. And he is right on the money, when talking about working to drive the car and really working hard to drive it well. It is very much a skill to be honed and practiced, and oh so rewarding when one gets it right. Bravo Doug. This one was special.

I heard Doug pulled up to Cars and Coffee in a white Countach this weekend. 🤔🤔

30 years after production ceased, the Countach is STILL badass.

Doug please bring back the Dougscore breakdown. Hearing your reasoning behind each category allowed the audience to follow your logic behind the rating. It just made things feel more complete.

And now you bought it Congratulations man, new subs Really great motivation imo

Best countach tour ever. Thank you for showing it in so much detail.

Well here you go, right? This review could sum it all up and be given to the Library of Congress as a perfect example of a Doug DeMuro video. Second only to getting into the Countach, Doug’s infectious enthusiasm, his own plentiful quirkiness, the fun and thrill and feel of it all, not to mention the tidbits of really interesting history, told as only Doug can. One need only see this review to understand Doug and all his well deserved success! Absolutely AWESOME.

"I could not wear shoes while driving this car" is the second most Lamborghini thing ever, right behind, "The sound of the flames coming from the oil sump really sounded great with the engine"

The excitement in his voice and choice of cars is why I'm hooked. This is my fav car too so this episode is epic for sure

This car was my very first exotic crush back then! I only saw one at a car show at the time in white! Glad I have it as a 1/18 die-cast model! Thanks for the review, Doug!

As always awesome job Doug. I drove one of these in the early 90’s and even though it was only a few miles, I noticed something the driving position felt like I was sitting in an angle towards the center tunnel also had to drive with my shoes off. The pedal box is absolutely tiny.

It would be interesting to know what a Doug review does for a car listed on the site, versus the ones he doesn’t review.

Doug, you’re spot on about this car!! I was 17 in 1993 when I got the privilege of driving a 1988 (no 1/2) Countach for about 15-20 minutes and no more than 5 miles. Even though I never made it past 40mph it is still to this day one of the most visceral driving experiences I’ve ever had!! I think in this instance a breach of Doug Score protocol could be in order, and in total ‘80’s fashion, give the cool factor an 11

Who is here after doug bought the countach?

And now Doug owns a countach

What a genius business move to be able to review and advertise cars on your car auction site - for your RU-vid channel. Well done Doug!

Doug the kind of guy who is taller on Mondays.

Man I really enjoyed the driving portion of this one, your passion is palpable!

Love the video, Doug! Thanks again!

A friend's father had a Countach and he had a special pair of thin driving shoes for it. The only good feature of the THICCC and high door sill was that they were prefect seats for backing up. The doors opening up/forward allowed you to put your butt on the door sill and sit up high/crooked to operate the pedals and wheel. That actually gave really good visibility while backing up.

How can you not give this a 10/10 for styling?! No car in history has ever looked cooler. It’s nearly 50 years old and still looks like the future.

Enjoyable once more! i love your channel.

Doug, i just want to tell you that you're the best! I love watching your videos, keep it going brother!

The mirrors in the sun visors of this car had a much more important use than just looking at yourself Doug 😉❄

Dude styling has got to be a 10 on this. It just looks friggin cool, unmistakable, unique, iconic, badass - it's all of those things and then some.

Yesssss coolest ever. I will never forget the first time I met a Countach in person 1986 in Beverly Hills I was 6'1"and the roof line was right at my waist. Blew my mind

its about time we got a fresh countach video! ive been waiting for this one

Insane styling, insane doors, probably could have stopped there, but it has an insane drivetrain as well. Yup, really high on the cool charts.

Doug’s take always genuine and fun. Loved seeing AMMO take the detail to the next level before the auction. Great content!

I had Countach posters all over my walls in the 80s and built so many plastic models of it. I would lay on my bed and stare at the car and just dream it was such a beautiful car.

10:08 this specific shot of the countach just reminds me of the infernus on the vice city cover 😂

I've always loved that the countach had removable visor mirrors, Lambo knew what people were gonna do in their cars

The Ammo video where they detailed this car is amazing also

Great review. Truly amazing looking car.

Congrats Doug

Doug is the type of guy to review a car he’s already reviewed only because it’s for sale on his website The third time he’s done this

Doug is the kind of guy to start this video with a little overview of the Countach in general.

14:10 min - Doug, AND nobody else EXCEPT Doug!!! 💛 Thank you Mr. Demuro. 👍 I love the Countach - top five favorite car of all time!! 😎👌

Thanks for the heads up! I bought the last three they had

It is always an ultra special video when Mr Doug gets super “fan girl” with an automobile. Even if I wasn’t a fan of whatever he is reviewing, I most certainly am after watching him bubbling about it for thirty minutes. I hope Mr Doug never changes. As an old guy and an automobile enthusiast, I enjoy watching this creator more than any Hollywood actors or any blockbuster films. I wish you all the very best health and happiness!

Raise your hand if you've been watching Doug DeMuro for a long time🤚

I love the countach so much especially this one as it is literally how I want my one this one of my favourite dream cars

this is the greatest review of a car my two eyes have ever seen!!!!!!

I just watched AMMO NYC wash this car. Truly iconic piece of machinery!

I always waited for his re-review on the Countach. I don't care if you re-review ALL of your older reviews as long as it's more comprehensive. Thank you, Doug!

Super and cool video. I enjoyed the presentation very much.

Absolutely agree it's one of if not 'the' best and most unique looking cars of all time. I guess you had to grow up in the 80s to really appreciate it, not in every way, but in certain ways. Like The Cannonball Run. Man that kickdown at the start, as a kid I just loved that movie!

Surely this is an unpopular opinion, but I actually like looks of the older Countach more, without the flares and the wing.

Everyone knows the real reason why the sun visor mirrors were removable… gotta love the 80’s

When you said You make people's day by driving it, I understand that. I saw a yellow one in metro Atlanta a few months ago and was so excited.

This car was always absolutely out of this world for me. Actually exactly this car in this color is driving around here sometimes. My gf absolutely hates the look and is totally baffled that I get excited each time I see it driving.

One of my most cherished memories is my Dad taking me to a Philadelphia car show in I think '91. Three things stood out to me that day. 1, being the Dodge Viper display. 2, the Terminator 2 display with the motorcycle and robotic terminator. 3, the Lamborghini Countach we got to see by walking up a ramp and around. This car to me, is the epitome of car aesthetics. It's gorgeous and I geek out thinking about it from time to time. The closest I'll ever get to it is on that day at the Philadelphia car show and this small "replica" Lego I bought that reminds me of how cool a car can be.

Thank you for this video

Pure 80's styling. Awesome.

The Countach was revolutionary. Seeing one for the first time in the 1980’s, it was a spaceship on the road! Regardless of the cabin heat and lack of views out, I’d love to have one in my garage one day. 😍

And detailed by one of my favorites…AmmoNYC! Nice collaboration

My cars are plain vanilla compared to this one but my right (accelerator) foot is always shoeless when driving, I get a better grip on the pedal and can use it with some subtlety. Plus, the mechanical feedback you get thru that pedal is really useful at times.

I didn't hear him mention they were hand built. It wasn't until recently I realized so few were made during the super long production. Lamborghini obviously sold a lot more posters and merchandise than they ever sold Countachs. Certainly are a lot better/faster/etc cars but as we were discussing earlier today on a road trip before oddly seeing this video pop up, the Countach would have to be the textbook example iconic supercar of all time.

Hey Doug! Thank you for keeping time stamps in your videos, I don’t skip through the video I always watch the whole thing but the stamps help me when coming back to the video to find my way to a specific point in the video❤

Every kid in the 80's had a poster of this car on their bedroom wall! Also still love the opening scene in cannonball run! Made this car a legend!!!

For real 1980s flavor, you need to have silver, blue, yellow, and pink geometric shapes (that might also look reflective) and/or squiggly lines; a blue, green, or purple/pink neon grid in the background; a low-poly silver-colored android-like thing; a few randomly placed palm trees; someone doing martial arts or perhaps a ninja; dinosaurs; laser beams, and of course, the Lamborghini Countach. Bonus points if you have both a Lamborghini Countach and a Ferrari Testarossa competing against each other in a Tron-like race. Yes, I was a kid in the 1980s and I think the Trapper Keeper warped my young impressionable mind.

The best sounding horn on the industry. The sought after Italian exotic horn.

I love the oil pressure gauge. It was helpful when my Viper engine blew up, I saw the gauge drop down from the hole in the block where the oil exited quickly. It was an instant reminder that I flushed 50k down the drain.

Ah great to see 2 of my favorite people (Larry/Ammo) detailing to perfection, then Doug discussing and reviewing to perfection, one of my favorite cars. Both are GREAT at what they do!!

Doug, amazing video as always. Ever though about getting a pair of purpose-made driving shoes for cars like these?

I haven’t even begun watching this video but i ALREADY hit the like button!

"Nothing turns heads like a Countach" Damn Right, Doug! They just look so otherworldly and oh my God the Sound! During our Car Meetups and Tours through the Alps each Year we have 3 Owners with a Countach, this same yellow and 2 green ones. I wish nowadays more Owners would pick a Colour like that instead of all the Black, Grey and White like most Lamborghinis seem to be nowadays! Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

When a Lamborghini truly was a Lamborghini, not an expensive Audi.

This is one of my favourite cars ever made. The fact that Doug also mentioned the pedal position problem makes me think they're responsible for the VW/Audi pedals too

I owned a white on black and white LP500S, one of the last shipped to the USA before the LP5000 QV, back when they were relatively cheap to buy used. Not that they were cheap to own, that's for sure. It was gorgeous, fun to drive, but not a joy to own. Yes, they leak oil, my mechanic told me matter-of-factly, "that's just part of owning this car".

My God, that engine bay looks like it's out of the 60s. It looks so good! I was born in 1984 so this car was the ultimate dream car when I was a kid. And yes, I had a Countach poster on my wall...what kid didn't in the late 80s and early 90s?! A guy in my hometown had a white one with the wing. He drove it on nice summer days and every time I saw it I was blown away. It made my day seeing it out in the wild. I agree that it's still one of the most visually stunning cars ever made, and it always will be. It's truly a timeless design. I think younger people who weren't alive when these were new are missing out on the context of just how exotic this car was back then. In a time of incredibly milquetoast cars (even the cool ones) this thing felt like it was dropped from the future.

What a time to be alive for the great Uncle Doug to review 2 cars back to back that were hanging on my bedroom walls back in the day: the 328 and the Countash. Thank you, sir! Keep these informative videos coming!

This has aged pretty well.

Man, makes me want to drive one, great review

Finally a Countach review that is not in the rain.

I can't deny how iconic the Countach with the giant wing is, but I always preferred the LP400. It still looked striking and had that 'wow' factor but I think it had a simple elegance that was lost when they started adding on new bits everywhere to make it look more and more ridiculous. Also, 14:10 General Kenobi!

It had the looks, performance and was not afraid to be different. They wanted it to stand out and what a classic Lamborghini built! Today you cannot tell one car from the other and it is killing the car business! On the other hand look at Lucid and Polestar, bold striking designs that offer a wow factor not seen in years! Thanks again Doug bringing out the enthusiastic emotion that once was once a driving force in America but now relegated to thr trash heap as no one wants to be different!

So glad you pointed to the wheels and rear wing. I'd have never found them on my own, lol ;)

Love Doug's videos and his enthusiasm is just so genuine! He just oozes car geek lol

Just finished up AMMONYC's detail video on this! Very beautiful car.

Absolute visceral experience i bet. So cool

Love your videos Doug. I think we could use this one as a drinking game. Take a shot everytime you say the word "Cool" 😉

One of my most memorable car moments- I was driving my ‘67 Beetle down our state’s version of Rodeo Drive in roughly 2020 when I see behind me a Countach in the flesh. I was astonished, saying to my wife that I couldn’t believe that there was a Countach behind me. At a stop sign, absolutely sprinting out of the restaurant, giant camera on a tripod in tow, was a photographer screaming, “STOP, I want to photograph your car.” I started to accelerate and he jumps into the road… in front of the Beetle. He snapped several pictures and just as quickly then walked away into the restaurant again. I wanted to highlight to him- “you do realize there’s a Countach right behind me!” He didn’t care. Evidently one of 23 million can be more remarkable than one in two thousand!😊

I can think of other ways to use a hand-held mirror in the countach... in the 80's... in Miami...

I don’t think anyone appreciates cars like this man does, We need to keep this man safe at all cost.

I love this. The most surprising feature of this car is the manual windows. I actually love that. My dad had a Mercedes that had crank windows. Very ironic.

The absolute smoothness of how Doug made fun of Lamborghini, back to back, then interrupts that streak by saying it doesnt matter. Then wonderfully captures what car guys love about driving and how this car reached the top of the peak. Doug is the best

16:33 Doug the kind of guy to tell you about the most iconic, coolest looking car of all time, for over a minute, several times in the video and then giving it a 9 in styling, but the Vector and F40 a 10...

I had a chance to drive one of these many years ago, back in the early 2000s. I recently retired after working 27 years for a vintage/classic car shop. It was a large business, and did everything from oil changes to complete restorations. Mostly vintage American cars. I only worked on mechanical stuff, no bodywork or interior stuff. The owner of the business bought one of these. I believe it was a late '70s model. It was carbureted. Very much like that one on the inside. I got to drive it on highway 87, from Mesa, AZ up to Payson, AZ, 60+ miles of constant curves and mountain grades. Surprisingly it just wasn't that much fun. The visibility was so bad that you couldn't tell exactly where you were in the lane. I notice you didn't show a forward view while driving. It's a very wide car, and the windshield is almost horizontal. You can't see the lane lines close to the car. Overall it reminded me of a kit car. Nothing fit properly inside or outside. The trunk lid and engine cover flexed badly. It had a lot of squeaks and rattles. I did love the engine sound, but I love the sound of a late '60s/early '70s American muscle car better, especially Mopars. I definitely would not consider trading my 1969 Dodge Charger 440/4 speed for one, no matter how much it's worth.

Watching this video, looking at this car, makes me realize how much I miss the 1980s. The 1980s covered the entirety of my teenage years (I turned 10 in 1980 and 20 in 1990). It was a crazy, amazing time to be alive, especially as a teenager. *EVERYONE* who was into cars back then had at least one poster of a Lamborghini Countach on their bedroom wall!

The same Lambo Ammo NYC just released a video about. Could be fun to watch some sort of Larry / Doug collab video

I think the wiper was designed more for right hand driving layout. It covers more of that side of windshield

The Alpine stereos with their frosty green buttons always seemed so exotic in these cars. Then, years later, I put one in my Subaru. So much for that!

Excellent!! Amazing!! More please! Maybe racing against a standard Porsche

This car brings back some strong Trapper Keeper memories for me :)
