Cars can be an expensive hobby, but what if money wasn’t a problem? This story follows Walter Wolf, who used his wealth and desires to reinvent the Countach, inspire countless enthusiasts, and aid in saving Lamborghini altogether.
While researching past videos I stumbled across rumblings of a Countach within the infamous Mid Night Racing Team. I decided to dig a bit deeper, but had no idea this would turn into such an involved and interesting story - I hope you enjoy it!

The Japanese was actually real crazy about the Countach that it's not only appeared in many movies and Circuit Wolf, it actually appeared in another manga that's about a boy who somehow got a LP400 from an odd source and began learning to drive well with it, even facing odds like the Ferrari Boxer and the rare Jota and the manga's aptly named... "Countach". Also, since you brought up Wolf's Kremer K3, I think you need to dive deeper into Whittington Brother's 935 K3 team also. One of the biggest weed smugglers in America in that time by using their IMSA team to do it. Also, the 1979 Le Mans win? Yea that's the same team that got implicated in the drug bust. Also, besides motor racing, they also raced planes at the Reno Air Races thus this team certainly needs a vid explaining their motives, on why they do it and how they do it on top of their racing history from planes to how they managed to win said 1979 Le Man races you mentioned and how did they move their "drugs" across the US.

@conorcrosbie9338 Год назад

I live in British Columbia and often see Mr. Wolf out with his daughter having coffee, I’ve spoke to him on occasion and he’s an interesting individual to say the least and the last of a dying breed. I’ve known who he was since about 8 years of age after receiving a slot car racing set from Santa and it having f1 wolf car. I told him the story up a the ski hill about 4 years ago and his eyes lite up.

@MarathonGsar 2 года назад

The quality and professionalism of production on RU-vid exceeds a lot of mainstream output. This channel is one those. Great work.

@musewolfman Год назад

The reason the F1 wing didn't work was that the Countach is naturally balanced already. The wing made too much rear downforce and caused it to understeer severely. The ones you see on the production Countach make next to no downforce.

@YellowbirdYT 2 года назад

Wow! This is a lot of information. I knew about the Wolf Specials being very important for the Countach (and by extension, Lamborghini's survival in the 70s) but this is way more than I knew about them before. Also. Anyone who played Gran Turismo 2 remembers that Lotus Europa!

The countach is from 1972. It looked like a UFO In 72. It was produced until 1989. So it's a 70s car.

@@jasonmeehan1269 I'm very well aware of the history of the Countach, thank you. No need for any lectures, good Sir. I was merely stating my own preferences regarding cars.

Years ago I went on a day trip to Legendary Motorcar with my dad and we went on the full tour of their facility. When they brought us to the workshop they were talking us through their GT40 PR, C3 Corvette racer, 1977 race winning Wolf F1 car, and a handful of other cars. Being the sneaky kid I was, I hung back from the group and climbed into the Wolf as soon as line of sight was broken. I only sat in the thing for a minute or so because I was more interested in the GT40 that the group was looking at because endurance racing is just way better!

My first Exposure to the Countach was _The Cannonball Run,_ That exact car is what I see as the epidemy of Lamborghini's vision as a supercar manufacturer. It's crazy to think that a Swiss Oil Magnate would be the driving force keeping Lamborghini going with their innovation and then to see multiple Countaches in Japan, its influence in manga and a ghostly white variant with the Midnight moniker stickered on it... quite the bedtime car story.

There are so many times when legends become so big, they disappoint you when you dive into the truth and what inspired them in the first place. Mid Night however is one of the very few that has the opposite effect, I'd know about the Porsche Blackbird and Devil Z, but didn't know about the Z32 or Lamborghinis as well or the Wolf story. That's why I love mid night and this channel! Excellent work as always.
