please do an up to speed on donut. I would love to learn the history of the company and its members
That would be great; seeing how it all came together.
I absolutely love this idea
I love how everyone is ignoring the annoying bots lmao
This is exactly what us day one fans need
@@Michal-yr7jg yeah we evolved
When I was 9 years old, I was playing with some hotwheels at school and there was this one car that was really slick and different looking. It just looked fast. I said, "I'm gonna have one of these one day." I flipped the car over to see what kind it was and that was the first time I read the word Lamborghini. Fast forward to today, 21 years later. I look in my garage to see, sitting in the dark: nothing. I rent, I don't have money for a garage, let alone a Lamborghini. What, did you think this would be an inspiring story or something?
Kinda
I downright knew it was saddening
I hope ur luck improves and u buy prieus someday
Hah, poors are so weak. Just pull yourself up by your boot straps. Buckle down, invest a million dollars. You’ll have ten hamborghjnjs in no time like me.
Yo I found a 7k Lamborghini countach
"Came out in 1981, just like my sister"
James dropping low key hilarity.
His sister is either 40, or a lesbian senior citizen.
Everyday James' sister would stop by his cage, lift her skirt and say "LA LA LA YOU NO GET THIS!!". One day James break out of cage.......and he "get this". {0.o} 😆😂🤣
@@MAGGOT_VOMIT Username checks out
@@TheXepa 1991's Newsgroups called, and wants their joke back.
I came.out also in 1981. And this freaking dude it's light years more funny that the Freddy kruger school bus full of standup people going straight to hell!!!!RAAAAAAAMCHARGERRRR!!!!!
"Click on a link! NO THAT'S AN AD!" I haven't enjoyed someone's sense of humour this much in so long. Absolutely love this guy, and his passion for cars
Even after almost 50 years it still looks spaceship till this date
"to this day" is what you meant
thats a lot of bots
report those bot
In case anyone wonders, the Countach in Wolf of Wallstreet was a real one because the director thought that destroying a replica wouldn't look real. However, after filming was done the car got restored to it's former glory
Thank you for putting my mind at ease :)
The sad part is jordan belfort destroyed a mercedes in real life instead of a countach. I guess that wasn't flashy enough for the movie. There were 2 cars in the movie. The movie studio owned the one that was destroyed and there was a second privately owned one for some of the driving shots. I met the gentleman who owns that car last summer at an Italian car show.
Nope dicaprio told on radio in Dubai that it was a Mercedes benz
It's an Anniversary; kill them all.
Scorcese gets a pass on that one
My great grandfather was friends with Ferrucio Lamborghini and had him build a custom Countach in the 70's. He passed away before I could remember him but I always remember the stories of the amazing exotic car collection he had.
If you Google Albert Silvera Countach, you'll see articles about it. It even was the main cover photo of one of Car and Driver's magazine issues. It's been passed down by different collectors since then, but I would love to see it in person someday.
Fun fact: The LP500 QV was designed by a man who was just starting in the car industry called Horario Pagani
One of the first carbon fiber subframe cars that Pagani did crafted is the Evoluzione. Sadly the only prototype was crash tested.
He designed the 1988-1991 25th Anniversary Edition
Yup! Only true Lambo buffs know that one!
@Jonathan Terrio He is the founder of Pagani Automobili S.p.A.
@@doigy_rxc1127 Yeah but what has he done SINCE founding Pagani Automobili S.p.A?
Countach defined 80's era perfectly
2022 supercars never came close to 1980s.
@@purwantiallan5089 yeah, and holy shit im glad for it.
Those cars are cool and all but are unconfortable to drive, not even stripped down race car unconfortable , just borderline unconfortable
Countach, Cocaine and big hair. What a time to be alive!
GTA Vice City.
@@Gorecatto maybe because if you want comfort you should look a luxury car? not a car made to the track.
Until now, the Lamborghini Countach still holds the record as the Lamborghini with the longest production in the world, which is 16 years (1974-1990).
Bart segment when
No it doesnt
Aventador: hold my special editions
Avantador chassis:I’m joke to you?
Donut Media missed-out the fact that Walter Wolf - Countach was turbocharged (V12+twin turbo) that car was close to 800 bhp and 208 miles/hour !!!..
and they also missed / forget talking about the latest mild-hybrid Countach re-incarnation 2021-2022 > ''50 - Anniversary Countach LPI-800''..
The OG Countach is simply the best looking car of all time. Beating out even the Testarossa in terms of sheer visual WOW factor. its pure, refined, unadulterated beauty
The story about the name coming from the unveiling is often repeated, but actually according to Gandini (in the article "Not Just Bulls: the Creator Tells Us the Story Behind the Name Countach") they had a profiler on the team who made the locks and did other little jobs and who used that swear often; Gandini joked that they should use that as the name, other people liked it, and the joke name became the real name.
This car is what made me fall in love with cars. It is like a very hot-looking car even today.
LOL same here. BTW just checked your channel out love it keep up the good work.
@@lesgo791 Sick alt account. Maybe reply to people that aren't just you to make it look more realistic? Also, you should wait LONGER THAN THE RUNTIME OF YOUR OWN VIDEO BEFORE HAVING THE ALT SAY THEY "checked your channel"!!!!

Spiteful, old Italian man.... Just like my Ex's Dad.
@@EstebanDonJuanCarlos Me too.
14:38 not only it was a real Countach, it was actually one of the 658 Countach 25th Anniversary models produced
I got to ride in one as a kid, ~160 mph in one of the 25th anniversary editions back in 1997 down the 405 freeway in Los Angeles. My mom's friend owned one, that moment alone made me fall in love with Lamborghini, the engine noise was so loud the dude had helicopter comms headsets in the car so he could talk to passengers. One of my best memories from childhood, I'll never forget that car it was Gloss white with blue leather interior. It broke my heart watching one get nuked in TWoWS.
Why the hell did they destroyed such classic?
I feel like "Factor" was like "no, no, no. It's our advertisement, you have to say what we want you to say in our way (and nothing zany), and don't put the yellow bar showing the progress of the ad..." And yet this is the first time ever that I have skipped an ad on this channel.
I remember the first time I saw the beginning of Cannonball Run in the late 80s. I sort of knew what the Countach was from seeing it on posters and trapper keepers, and I had a transformer that turned into a red countach, but I’d never seen one in action before
People always broke the doors off my transformer toy because the didn’t understand how they were supposed to open. Had to superglue them back
You had Sideswipe!
This is the hardest I've laughed at an up to speed in a good while. They brought the "A" game
The fucking ad got me hard.
@@peaceinoutb long ads and lesbian bots too.
@@peaceinoutb In that "Buff Horses" ad @ 21:11 it looks like a Columbian Frankenstein, put on some Ray-Bans, injected himself with Synthol and struggled learning to eat with a fork!! {0.o} 😆😂🤣
Funny cause it's probably the least I've laughed at a Donut video, they've changed a lot over the years and now it's filled with random SCREAMING to make funny moments.
@@PawPawPandas
They’ve added a lot more personality to the shows, that’s what you mean!
The drivetrain packaging between the Miura and Countach was a little more nuanced. Because the v12 in the Miura was transverse, the gearbox was mounted inside the engine crankcase for packaging. This raises the engine higher in the chassis than it normally would’ve be, which is bad for Center of Gravity. By putting the gearbox in front of the engine in the Countach, both the engine and gearbox can be lower in the chassis which lowers the CG which is good for handling and safety,
A few years ago I was at a gas station in Utah in my 2006 LPE-606 c6 z06 corvette and enjoying my night, when a sound I’d never heard neared , I turned to the entrance and here come the first Countache I’ve ever seen and it flew in the entrance bashing the shit out of the front lower bumper dragging it up the slope and the drive pushed on the accereator forcing the bumper up the concrete. I wanted to cry, it was a worse sound than nails on a chalk board. The legend pulls in in front of my car and I notice it’s disgustingly dirty, surely hadn’t been washed in a good 6 months or more and the back of the car up the tail above the exhaust tips was black from the exhaust fading up the paint it was so sad, door opened and a freakin 16 year old kid gets out , I recognized him as one of the slammed Subaru STI kids , his was pretty awesome, full interior cage , Rotta wheels and a big turbo. I walked up and had to see if it was a real one or replica and it was real, I asked him what the story was and he said his grandpa was Charles Schultz , the Peanuts cartoon comic writer. He passed away and his daughter, this kids mom moved into his alpine utah mansion and apparently it had an under aground garage with a bunch of 80’s exotics. He said they never drive them becasue their a pain in the ass and uncomfortable and I wanted to punch him in the mouth. I told him it was a dream car of mine and that he really needs to have it detailed. He laughed and then got in driving off. How could a young kid not appreciate driving a damn beautiful red Countache??? So sad.
The countach is where my love for cars began. I’ll never forget seeing it for the first time in San Francisco at a car show when I was 6. I loved it so much my dad bought me a black toy model of it
This is by far the best episode of up to speed since the format change. I really enjoyed the bits. I hope to see more like it.
The open scenes to The Cannonball Run.... OH THE SONG OF THAT SCREAMING COUNTACH STILL GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS... no really I just watched the first 4 minutes of the movie again! Great episode!
When I think of the Countach I think of the old days and that makes me like the cars more. The boys in our family used to sit and talk and dream about those cars because we didn't have the Internet to allow us to pull one up when we wanted to see one.Back in those days there were other exotic cars, but nothing compared to the Countach.It was not until Lamborghini started making the Diablo and then some of the other cars that I had seen another vehicle that I wanted that much.
Ferrari la Ferrari= Ferrari the Ferrari
Lamborghini Countach: Lamborghini holy sh*t
Perfect.
this guy gets it
@@Donut I'm guessing there's a way to not have more nsfw bots than people in your comments. Why?
Honestly the 12 exhaust tips on the S version is so gnarly....
Those are for the film car only, the real production car has the standart 4 tips. Also the front "spoiler" is to conform with US laws and is designated as "bumper" just to make the papers work "for legal purposes"
My best friends dad rented a LP5000 for a weekend and because we were like family i was allowed to go on the trip in their daily car with his wife and daughter. At some point we all got a ride and it was absolutly glorious, the little me was so impressed with the sound and acceleration. That was the point i fell in love with cars and speed and nowadays im a proud car mechanic who loves his job.
Just finnished watching all the up to speed episodes, i'm new to the channel, and i love donut media. James is very passionate, and i love it!
Gonna check out your podcast and some other videos next, keep up the awesome work. MO POWA BEIBE!!
Bumper 2 bumper is also super cool!
I love this car soo much… when i was in school me and my friend fooled a couple of other friends we had a secret countach in our garage and we were working on rebuilding it … just the thought of owning this car puts such a big smile on my face 🔥💯
Begone lesbian bots.
One of my absolute dream cars! Can't wait to see what this episode has in store for us!
Lesbian bots yet again.
James, 🤟 this was without a doubt one of your most epic episodes. Period. Pure genius, both for its info and comedic value. Bravo man bravo 🎉
Absolutely fantastic video!
You know damn well when James calls up the cable company to order internet service, goes to the bank, or gets pulled over by a cop for speeding, he never breaks character and talks the same as in his videos.
Yeah I'm gonna need a PIZZA, except the sauce will be ALFREDO, oh yeah babeh! We are also gonna swap your LAME pep with STEAK, and yup...you already know. Chicken. Chicken And Steak?!
BUHLEEV IT, MAAAAN!
Oh, and don't forget. I'll be needing that...PAPA SIZED!
BOOM!
Yeah, I can see it.
William Osman said everyone on youtube is like an exaggerated version of their real selves.
@@StaredownGames haha, god that would kick ass
Nah man 😂 irl he’s super chill
The buff horses plug actually had me laughing in the middle of my office. Tempted to buy one. Good job media company.
Im sad that he missed two important things about the Cannon Ball run countach, it was the same one that was imported by the guy for the real cannon ball run, it was also the reason that they stopped having the cannonball run because the guy that ran it, was worried that the guy who bought it would wreck it.
Thank you for this episode, I have been waiting for an Up to Speed on the Countach since Up to speed started
These videos makes our days better
I love these videos so much. The story about Enzo on the streets of Chicago just puts the cherry on top. So much research must go into these.
Good bloody work gents
...except when it comes to the 512BB :P
Why do these up to speed episodes like this make me wanna cry at the end? Maybe just great storytelling about complete driven passion. I love what you do James
These videos get better with every episode. And I've been watching for a long time. James is only two years younger than myself and I absolutely love the references he makes that are iconic to his and my era. Keep it up. Subscriber for life baby!
What a lovely episode, I laughed, I was emotional, and I googled used Countach for sale... pretty consistent for this show. Thanks!
As much as I love the biographical and alternative topic Up to Speeds as of Late, I'll always love these car based installments. 😍
On a side note, it's a shame Donut didn't include anything about the new LPI 800-4 Countach announced last year.
pretty sure they are a limited run IIRC. Too bad.
the new one is worst than a replica
at 14:19, that red poster photo, my dad had in his bar, which i now have in my house. I love the love you show lamborghini, all that way back from your first videos, hell, even your personal trip to them years ago. keep it up with the up speed please, that wait time between sucked lol
Rocky didn't drive a Testarossa in that scene, he drove a Lamborghini Jalpa, basically the entry-level Lambo of the time.
Entry level Lambo. 😂
Reminds me of a scene in a movie I can't remember;
An everyday girl gets picked up in a Bentley for something or other and is wowed by it.
She asks the driver if it's a Rolls Royce.
He tells her it's a Bentley and she says, _"Oh. That must be a discount Rolls."_
The driver just smirks. 😂
It's always a treat seeing James wax poetic about Lamborghini 🥰
It was his favorite car company, after all.
@@jdapaul1351 my point *exactly*
James always here to brighten my day! Love Donut media! 🥰
BEST U2S YET!!! GREAT ENERGY, DIALOG, PRESENTATION, AND EDITING. AWESOME EPISODE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hey James i wach all your videos and i have one word
I LOVE YOU DUDE!
One of my favorite cars ever because of how crazy it looks!
I fell in love with the car ever since I saw it in Twisted Metal and NFS3: Hot Pursuit on the PS1 and incidently NFS3 also made me love the Diablo and the Lamboghini brand.
Oh god its such a fine tractor :O
The opening minutes of Cannonball Run, with the V12 screaming under Ray Steven's crooning, is my go to feelgood RUclips Clip . . . Probably watched it 100x.
This was a great one!
Love the show, love that Lamborghine-Mashine! Thanks a lot! How about an Up to Speed on the Opel Manta/Calibra?
doubt it since it never sold in the US and that's Donut Media's prime market so..
That being said, I personally LOVE them, especially the Calibra!

It is wrong to say that Ferrari 365 bb and Testarossa's had a boxer engine, it has a v engine that was flat and so it has different firing order and crankshaft than a boxer equivalent would have had.
How can a V engine be flat?
