Coke white, and nose bleed red, what more can you ask for an 80's Miami sportscar
a portable mirror inside the sun visor
...for whatever purposes you might need a mirror for, in Miami, in the 80s.

Epic Ward 🤣🤣or to buy blow from a hooker or dealer.

@Clarence Spangle --- was the joke... ;)
@@MoveNgroove93 😂😂
Just enough to hand a cop registrations and insurance.
I drove one once. I remember it being pretty fast and very loud, and there was ZERO visibility except forward. The only way to change lanes in traffic without fear of accident was to floor it! Incredibly heavy clutch, and with that solar panel front windshield you simply cook on a typical Fla day. Good times. Epic car, but I would never aspire to own one.
Lucky 😈
he owns one now XD
Doug, no one can deliver a review as in depth and articulated so honestly & refreshing the way you do, it’s a pleasure watching these. You’re the go to person whenever I’m looking for a vehicle review. Keep up the great work and thank you for them.
I like how it’s pouring with rain and he’s just stood there in shorts and a t-shirt
it’s florida so it’s probably 80-85 degrees
He's so Miami to dress up. Almost perfect match. Would have added the flowered shirt though
Adam Shipley in the U.K. we measure temperature in degrees Celsius so I don’t know hot hot 80-85 degrees is
Welp, that's Doug!
Finster 25 its like 25 degrees or so. I live in the US and use celsius lol

He's in Florida, I don't think he'll be getting cold.
The show must go on 😀

Also he sits ON THE DIRTY FLOOR while raining and then seats in the car.
"Whatever one might need a mirror for in Miami, in the 1980's". His grin was priceless!
@marko Sure, but doing cocaine was much more socially acceptable in the 80's. not so much today lol.
@@thisdoesnotsuck5540 plus the 80s was the time period where society got introduced to recreational use of cocaine. And it was a sign of wealth, hence why lambo owners most likely used it haha
The little eyebrow wiggle. It just barely gets caught by the camera view change, but it's there.
I laughed my head off when I heard the comment good one Doug !
@marko it's because of the zeitgeist icon. There are more electric guitar players today and rock bands, and yet you would hardly associate hard rock with this era

One of the big thrills in my life was seeing a Countach at an auto show in London in '76 when they were still quite new to our planet. The auto world was still in complete shock then.
Awesome channel. Thanks so much for reviewing this particular car. Lamborghini was always iconic growing up in the 90s.
11:17 “for whatever purposes you might need a mirror for in miami, in the 80s” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Need a bigger mirror than that if you have the money for that car lol
Derek Borba heard that😂

Alexander Hoel sniff sniff
Comments be like:
10%: "Uhg, this and that is so poorly designed"
90%: Something about cocaine
Lol this is so true
@marko it made perfect sense to me
the people who think this car is poorly designed are uncultured white suburban kids with “Gucci” hoodies they got for 10$ on Etsy with shit taste in exotic cars and think only the new Lamborghinis are nice
@@hellothisisnotava that sounds so specific 💀
@@hellothisisnotava New Lamborghini’s aren’t well designed either, IMO. Italian super cars, but also specifically Lambos, seem to be full of bad ergonomics decisions.
I always enjoy your reviews as you are so detail oriented the viewers get a real feel for the car. Bravo.
thanks Doug for mentioning the Alpine Car Stereo Countach poster you had on your bedroom wall. I was the art director and created the concept and directed the photography. When Ford bought Lamborghini and the 25th anniversary Countach was introduced we traveled to Detroit to shoot the first production model to reach the USA. We used a fork lift to place it onto the steel table "pedestal" after building a 60 ft. wide backdrop wall of rivet steel. However, as this was before Photoshop, we got in deep trouble for removing the wheel weights to clean up the rims.
or reading down, did you have the Farrah Fawcett poster store version?
Doug the type of dude to review cars during a hurricane and give 0 fucks.
EdVentures lol
so is that color a "cocaine white"?
fishscale
BA DUM TISS
It may be Doug's little friend.
Well you need the powder to be visible inside just in case you drop some when using the mirror - if you know what I mean.
And the interior is a "nose bleed" red.
This car brings back so many memories! I remember as a child I had a hotwheels car that I played with all the time and it was my favorite. It even had a red interior and I thought it was so cool with the white exterior. Then right after I got a Playstation I remember playing Need 4 Speed: Hot Pursuit and selecting this car all the time. I haven't thought about this car at all since then and I feel like I just had a whole chapter of my memories unlocked seeing it.
What a good anecdote! You made me remember good times I had with that game too... Best regards!
The removable mirror is actually to help you with the parking, you can hold the mirror outside the window opening and see what's behind you.
The fact that that car has no curves is exactly what makes it so iconic
Tesla cybertruck
Who needs "curves"?

6 years later he has a countach
There has never been a car in my life that made me more excited to look at it than this one. I was born in 1975 and this car if this car was the coolest thing in the world when I was in 8th grade. I don't know if I would ever enjoy owning a car like this one but if I had to pick 1 car for the rest of my life to put into the corner of my living room, this is the car.
Maybe it's better to never meet your heroes.
The cocaine mirror is great design. It shows they knew their customer base well.

iFerg - Clash Royale stop.
With a lambo
iFerg - Clash Royale i now right.
I can't even listen to this because I am focused on all the rain coming down and how soaked he is trying to talk about this thing.
its a countach i will do the same thing
Now he owns one, oh doug how far we have come?
Ridiculously amazing review!!! 👍😋
When I was a teen I had a poster of this car in my bedroom, there was a girl in a swimsuit laying on the trunk/windshield. I used to dream I could have both the car, the girl in the swimsuit. Twenty years later, after much struggle and a lot of willpower, I finally gathered the confidence to head to the nearest Walmart and buy me a swimsuit.
Munich FX 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Very niiiice, how maaaach?? $
Label on swimsuit: "Lamborghini Sold Separately"
Doug the type of guy to borrow a Lamborghini then let it sit out in the rain
I was in a 1985 Countach 5000s when it was brand new maybe it was an '84. They are quick for sure. It's crazy to watch the white lines of the road dissapear under the windshield. It belonged to a player on the Detroit Lions. The guy who gave me a ride in it worked for an exotic car tune down company in the Chicago area. They were out joy riding in it before
tunning it down to American standards. It was crazy we were just kids hanging at McDonalds when they rolled in. Damn did it sound cool and loud.
Doug just purchased one of these white on white wheels!
Doug so dedicated he review the Countach during Hurricaine Irma

Fun Fact: It is internationally illegal not to play synthwave music while driving this car
I can’t tell if he’s joking or telling the truth.
@@justasentientmclarenp1879 My dad is stuck is on death row for this.
Its illegal not to play push it to the limit at least once in this car
Then it's time to commit The Perfect Crime.

Ive watched this video SO MANY TIMES…. THANKS, DOUG!!!! You’re the greatest
Great to see Countach and Dodge Viper on your channel. Just two of my all time favourites since i was a kid
This is the Lamborghiniest Lamborghini, it really embodies the insanity that those cars are to the fullest extent.
Magic Steve it’s too chunky, I am stuck to the belief that aventador could not get more lambo
@@whisperer30 Modern Lamborghini's are just tuned Audi's with a bodykit. They aren't anything special anymore, if I can call it that way.
@@joost6994 Best wel onzin wat je zegt, maar oké.
Exactly. This and the Diablo were the cars that inspired the look of the later models. The Countach was a game changer.
The insanity kinda left Lamborghini in the early 2000s and the Aventador brought it right back so gotta agree! The thing looks demonic.
Rumor has it If you look around every Lamborghini Countach and pick every speck of dust from every nook and cranny you will have a complete 8 ball of coke
Jessa Phillips lmao good one

well sometimes you just gotta snort.
loved it hahah
I guess I’m just a zoomer but I don’t get it
@@m26munk58 It's because it was common to snort cocaine in the 80's (and now too ofc) but you needed a mirror to, you know...make the lines.

Doug the type of guy to review your Lamborghini Countach outside while it's raining and get the interior wet.
He's so into the details, he didn't even noticed it's raining! if he comes to my house and do a lil review on my '91 Honda I may have to check on the weather first!
@kickdje I mean.. No regular car today has any problem with regular rain when doors are open. It's a complete nonissue. So why should this car have any problem?
It's disrespectful. I wouldn't let his grubby sweating hands and wet ass anywhere near my old crap car .
12:56, you can see that countach is doing 20kmph while standing still!!!. Only Lamborghini can do that.
I've ridden a bus that had a broken speedo and said zero when we were on the highway.
It's just that fast!
jjesus how I did not noticed that ?????

I'm sure the wiper position was designed for right hand drive and works just fine in that set up. Had a 86 impulse with a single wiper design which worked very well.
I'm here after the 2021 Countach reveal video.
"for whatever you might need a mirror for, in Miami in the 80's" hilarious
When we were kids in the 90s, my brother and I had like 6 Hot Wheels Countach toy cars that relatives gave us as gifts. They look so ridiculous that through most of my childhood I assumed the Countach was just some fictional car that only existed as a Hot Wheels toy. It's like a stealth bomber made of cocaine.
Escalated quickly
Who's here after 2022 countach
10:50 it actually makes sense because, the buttons are sloped and by muscle memory, when you push it up (but sloped down) it pushes the windows down and vice versa
Car dealership: "Doug, when would you like to drive the Countach?"
Doug: "Anytime! Preferably when there's a Hurricane"
Car dealership: "We don't have a Huracán in stock....'
Doug: "No, i meant drive it during the hurricane"
hahahahahaha
He films all of his videos months ago. This was probably filmed in June, serious.

"It is the most bizarre car of the 1980's, and I going to show you why" **smash cut to Doug snorting Coke off the mirror**
cool man
If only!
That would be rad.
Almost, I thought the Delorean was odd too. But you could see that one at a Kmart parking lot and not think it's too different, till' the doors open.
Surprised they didn't throw in a HST or other such reference, but the eggshells are thinner than many times, lately.
16:36 THAT COUNTACH HORN SOUND!!- I CAN'T🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic video, you have esprit!!

Isnt that what your supposed to do
The coke mirror is really classy.
Doug seems so chill back in the videos. Before the zany Cars & Bids ads and over-accentuating words like “thisssssss”
Who would believe that 6 years later he would own one
Doug the type of guy to review a car in a rainstorm because fuck it, it ain't his $300,000 car getting soaked
Yeah? So what's gonna happen to the car?
Does rain hurt your car?
Believe it or not -- and I am going to blow your mind here -- cars do not melt in the rain. Even cars worth $300,000.
You've learned something today!!
Seeing as this is an '89 Lamborghini, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect this car to have issues in bad weather :D
this isn't bad weather lmfao
Doug the type of guy to reserve a table in McDonalds.
It's raining & Doug's still going like nothing is happening, true dedication lol
The Countach was THE show-stopper at auto shows back in the early/mid- 1970s. I don't think that the term "super sports car" was used back then, but the Countach was definitely the first that breed, the first to have not only the performance, but also the looks.
This car's design is really badass, looks like a spaceship
If you had the money back then and wanted to look like the coolest rich dude out there, that is why the countash was made
Thinking of the same thing.
it was designed by pagani
@@babayaga1988 false. It was designed by Bertone
I call it ugly, change my mind
For whatever purposes you might need a mirror for, in Miami, in the 80's! ;)
Look at his review of the Jalpa. The man clearly loves his coke.
4:11 That horn brings back memories of those Cannonball Run movies from the '80s.
This was one of Doug's BEST! His mannerisms are more hilarious 😆 than the car. He is the best car reviewer there is.
The window rolls down far enough to complete that drug deal though.
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
So basically the only smart design choice that went into making this car was adding the removable coke-snorting mirror.
"In miami, in the 80s" for whatever purposes hahahahhaha
No the smart design put into it was the styling and the engine
PSSSSSSSS! THATS A GREAT COMMENT!
United States of Embarrassment yeah it's cheaply made
btw.. my fb shows a # of my cars..
Countach was for me always the ultimate rule of cool car, there is no other way to explain the design than Rule of Cool
Who's here after Doug got his own Countach? Congrats!!
"For whatever you may need a mirror for, in Miami, in the 80s" 😂😂😂

the mirror serves 2 purposes:
- use it to revers putting it outside the window
- coke
Doug, you shared many of my same complaints about their quirks, the rear window visibility, the seat of your pants driving experience, the noise, the pedal cluster roominess(or lack there of) and the headroom, I was 6'9" when I was working with and driving em so my headroom issues were a bit more troublesome than yours but, there's one quirk you didnt mention and that's cuz yours was a rainy day drive. Had it been a sunny day and God forbid one with scattered clouds, you would have bitched to the heavens in your loudest of vocalized prayers, that you couldnt see forward to save your ass either!! The windshield angle and its curvature of -0° gave you an early idea of a F-16 pilot's HUD except instead of vital info like altimeter, heading, speed or angle of attack, it gave you a vivid and vibrant display of
the flat dash.
In whatever color it was and that would, in turn, reflect the streetlights as you sat below them or passed under em, power lines, overpasses, yadda yadda yadda and when the clouds briefly dimmed that reflection, the optic portion of your brain would scream a sigh of eye fatiguing relief only to have those clouds clear a millisecond later and that bright cacophony was back to torture you again. That was the biggest negative factor I could find in any car I've ever experienced (until I drove the Beemer M1) and the one I regretted seeing on the list of cars that had to be picked up at the docks when a local short shipper couldnt be found in time.
Like you, I remembered the poster, like the mechanical equivalent of Farrah Fawcett but, after driving em the scant 20 miles from the docks to our shop so many times, I know how life musta felt for Lee Majors when he'd see that same Farrah poster we did.
That dedication to film in the rain.
Ruslan Nikolaev i mean... its a countach an all 😆
Ruslan Nikolaev Oh please he's not made of salt.
Man, it was pouring rain out and he was still acting just like its a normal day and discussing "all the weird quirks and features" of the car. Especially on that 8:36, I broke into TEARS seeing that man acting like its all normal sitting in those nice beige H&M shorts on the dirty, wet asphalt in the middle of the rain just to get the perfect shot of the tires of the car. If that is not dedication to i dont know what is. please reconsider your comment...
Ruslan Nikolaev Oh shit. I couldn't see that... I'm watching in the sunlight with sunglasses on...
We only want to see him filming in the purple rain, lol!
I appreciate your professionalism. That rain didn't stop you and you didn't complain about it :)
Yeah but like he said. Hes had this on his wall on a poster since his youth ~ like hell will you let some rain get in the way of a bucket list item ~ would you?
True! Good observation
I have a Fiat X1/9 as my first car in college back in the early 80s. The boot release catches were identical to the Lambo and it also had the in bumper number plate light. Mine was the 1500 with the Californian Alloy bumpers which were extremely hard so I found out when trying to drill a hole in them. I also had the double twin exhausts made by ANSA who make the Lambo exhaust. Back then I think Lambo was owned by Fiat so a lot of the parts were shared
Its such a fire car Doug had to shoot this footage during a rainstorm to keep cool.
Doug is a real trooper. Rain, snow, shine, or hurricane... he will shoot the video! 🤘🏼
I am actually surprised the dealer let him do it in rain...aaaaand....I bet he did it during Irma
Alcantara Racing i would be surprised if he didnt
Doug, the kind of guy that voluntarily sits on wet asphalt.
Lol...
Aside from a tow truck driver lol
I was totally thinking that. Like wtf!
Due to speed regulations in the US, the rear wing‘s only use is serving as a bar counter for your Martinis while fueling.
For the rear visibility. Get a aftermarket back up camera and just hard wire it on any time the engine is running

I can't help thinking this is a terrible car. Especially in the rain.
It must have been sold on looks, in every other respect it's just stupid.
I had my wall filled with posters of this car :D
I remember having a toy Lamborghini Countach when I was a kid. It was made out of metal with plastic windows. Had scissor doors which you could open and close. And was red in color. Really loved that car. The sad thing is, I've lost it!!☹
With the way Countach prices rise, Doug should edit this video's title monthly.
Doug's tongue is a 10/10 quirk.
