I got to ride one when I was ten ,my dad did car interior repair in Virginia Beach . One day a dealer needed him to fix a rip in the seat of his Lamborghini, he said on one condition you have to take my son for a ride. I'm sure glad I went to work with my dad that day.
actually it wasnt the other drivers he was worried about, he was afraid that his friend wouldnt be able to handle the car, thus defeating the point of the run, as the ferrari daytona from the first run was more than a match for the poor countach, and WAS the actual fastest car at the time as the 4 liters are really only good for about a 170, and the wings take about 15 mph off, its why they had that massive overhaul into the 5 liter and the quattrovalve latter on which actually produced upwards of 500 horsepower and gave the same zero to 60 figures as a 288 GTO and added an inch to the roofline, hence why the 4 liters look so much better, and that was done in response to the testarossa coming out which was a remake of the ferrari daytona just in midengined form, a grand tourer, not a race car, which actually had horsepower figures closer to the 4 liter cars but was still close enough that it outsold it pretty well
@@CarStarz42 that's why we all love this channel so much. i mean, you were able to find 10 interestings facts about a Pacer. that's not an easy task to do. lol
@rockzhard2009 the pacer thing made me think of this: we just had a car show last weekend. Just happened to see a bone stock looking, very clean gremlin driving into town. They might have a trailer at one of the farther out hotels, but I prefer to believe that someone actually roadtripped that thing. Pure middle finger vibe for the rest of the crowd. 😂
@@blackc1479 couldn't stand those things back in the day. but dang if i wouldn't drive one like i stole it today. old age makin' me make out in left field decisions i rekin' L0L
me watching this as a 7 year old "that car is the sweetest thing I've ever seen, why don't we have one dad?" me now "the front wing and the 12 exhaust tips are hideous"
At least for me, it was like he said, first introduction to the car. Still an amazing looking car, even w the goofy front spoiler. (I honestly don't remember noticing the tips back then.)
I saw this car in person at the Jacksonville, FL 2001 New Car Show in late 2000, at the Prime Osborne Convention Center. It was on display in the same room as BMW’s. I remember a BMW M Coupe (Z3) with the new E46 M3 engine sitting nearby. I was surprised at how “small” the Countach looked in person, and the black paint had scratches all over it! It was probably the original paint from the movie! 👍😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The most exceptional looking super car ever built. There may be more brutal ones, more beautiful ones, faster ones, more powerful ones. But the Countach is exceptional.
The star of one of the all time best movie intros. (the 12cyl sound under accelleration alone is goose bump material) Fun fact: the spoilers actually made the cars slower. Years ago there as a celebration of Lamborghini where the owner (?) of a btisih car magazine (and car collector and owner of a Countach) was in italy for. There they mentioned that customers wanted spoilers for looks, but the spoilers didn't do anything aero wise apart from add drag and thus lowering the actual possible speed significantly.
I remember hearing a long time ago that the rear spoiler was intended for looks but "designed" to be neutral for aero because both too much down force and too much drag would cause the car to loose front grip. However, at higher speeds, it still caused drag an resulted in loss of control. The front spoiler was then added to create downforce to counter the problem. I also remember hearing a similar thing about Fieros...but that had more to do with the terrible weight distribution. Specifically, the engine (essentially?) being placed directly over the real wheels. The related rumour was that they initially ceased production of the heavier V6 just a few years into production because of it. Then later, due to a drop in sales (and fearing lawsuits?), Pontiac/GM decided to kill the car all together. But maybe that was all BS.
If possible, you should talk about the Lamborghini used in Speed Zone!! And please include the cool fact that The Mythbusters “busted” the myth that a car could skim a pond. 👏😎🙏
I'll add it to the list to try to look into. Indeed, some custom high power vehicles with paddle tires can drive across the top of a body of water, but certainly not a Lambo, lol.
Un-Sexy fact number 11: The rear wing was mainly decorative and while it may have contributed some downforce/stability, it definitely added a lot of aerodynamic drag. In combination with that very un-aerodynamic combo of the front wing plus extra driving lights, the actual top speed with 375bhp would have been in the region of 150-160mph. Some way short of Lambo's claim of 195mph and miles away from the 220mph claimed by the Hot Chicks in the film.
@@CarStarz42 Have to say, I have always preferred the purity of the original Countach. No massive rear arches and tyres, no rear wing, and sitting on the original 14" wheels😎👍
The rear spoiler is just a Countach fact, the angle was zeroed out because if it made any downforce at all, it would lift the front end up and make the steering very light and vague like what plagued the Miura. Meanwhile the front spoiler was classified as a 5 mph bumper to get it road legal. I think it was the same for the rear tube bar above the exhausts
The top speed of that car was without the front wing. The front wing actually hurt the aero on that car which was never great to begin with despite the wedge shape. Brute force from that V12 made that thing hustle.
Cannonball Ball Run film set was dangerous too. There was accident with a Aston Martin crashing, where a stunt woman flew through the windshield and was paralyzed for life. The Aston Martin didn't have seat belts ! Hal Needham's production company got sued over that. It did create a law that all movie stunt cars no matter the vintage must have seatbelts.
From what I recall when the lawsuit was going through the courts and they featured it on the local L.A. news reports as well as articles in the L.A. Times, the stuntwoman was not even supposed to be in the car...she wanted to be there and insisted on it. I think they were going to use a dummy, but relented and allowed her after all. They actually had clips of the crash on the news. Not sure if that cut footage can be found on YT.
A fascinating but little known fact is that this film actually saved Lamborghini from bankruptcy . Back in 1979-80 the world was in a oil crisis and recession. Lamborghini was selling very few Countaches before the film came out. In Sept 1980 Lamborghini was placed in receivership searching for a buyer . in May 1981 a Swiss Banker bought the company and invested in it. The next month the movie debuted with the Countach. The movie was so popular it made the Countach more well known and Lamborghini actually began getting more sales thus saving it from bankruptcy!
Thanks much friend! I do usually have the movie's theme music playing softly in the background on my videos, but I know what you mean as I lot of creators blast bassy music so loud in their videos that you can't even hear what they are saying.
Excellent video! And of course, I had a red Countach on my wall in the early 80s and just watched The Cannonball Run for the thousandth time! RIP to almost the entire cast ! Still worship these movies today! Real car movies, no BS CGI and Fast & Furious bogus crap! I miss real stunts, and real cars! Not these Transgender Vehicles of today! Every time I see one of these F&F knock offs, I want to drive over it with my mini monster Taco S.A.Swap! That would be so awesome!
fredmacdonald9339 I've seen Professor Fate's car in person. It was in a car museum in Buena Park, CA. Back in the 70's. It was powered by a VW engine. Sadly the museum closed many, many decades ago. What happened to it after that .? Who knows. The name of the museum was Jim Brucker's Cars of the stars and Planes of Fame. The caretaker was someone you might have heard of Von Dutch.
it's the yellow countach from the cover of road and track magazine back in the day that's what really caught my imagination...at least that's what i remember.
I seem to remember a color change in the movie, while evading HP some construction workers hosed it off with a large high pressure hose on a water truck. Might have been in the second one, I'm not sure... guess I'll have to watch them again.
How about the jeepers creepers truck? The league of extraordinary gentlemen car? All the cars from fine in 60 seconds, That would be DOPE! keep up the good work brother

Nope, well; not a mod for the movie anyways. The folks who imported it had to add that wing/bumper + a rear bumper to make it legal for use in the USA actually, so that was done even before the first owner bought it.
@@jimcole2648 Indeed, have well over 200 movies on my list to look into so far, but it grows daily with all the suggestions I receive too + of course eventually doing multiple cars from the already done movies, so I'll probably be at this for years to come since folks seem to like them 😉👍
No, because that was actually on the car before filming which is why I didn't think about it at the time. Only a handful of the early Countachs that were imported first had that front wing installed by a small third party company in order to pass as a front bumper in the US to meet the safety regulations of the time; we had a thread discussion on here going about that at one point if you would like to read through that to learn more 😉

The 1970's Countach was not a 195 mph car. It wasn't until the Countach attained 455 hp in the middle eighties that it could reliably exceed 180, and even then, I'm dubious. The car had atrocious aerodynamics. In Morely Safir's story on Lamborghini for 60 Minutes in the middle eighties, he claimed a top speed of over 180. Car & Driver was taking the piss with that 195 mph cover. THEY never drove it that fast, but merely took Lamborghini at their word.
How to make sure a car movie does well at the box office. Put a car in it that car fans can't get their hands on... Aka: Brian's Skyline... I thought this was about the hot chicks that drove it???
Well, kind of, but keeping things all legal like these days of course; so kind of like a rolling car show of sorts from what I can make of it anyways... cannonballrun.com/route
Very few motorists have ever driveen over 85-90 mph. I've driven a few cars (not race cars) over 120+ & riden a few motorcycles up to 150. That will make you want to change your pants!
True indeed, my 2016 supercharged 510RWHP Ram 1500 and get up over 150MPH quite promptly as well, but not as fast or scary as on a motorcycle would be of course, lol 😉👍

actually it wasnt the other drivers he was worried about, he was afraid that his friend wouldnt be able to handle the car, thus defeating the point of the run, as the ferrari daytona from the first run was more than a match for the poor countach, and WAS the actual fastest car at the time
as the 4 liters are really only good for about a 170, and the wings take about 15 mph off, its why they had that massive overhaul into the 5 liter and the quattrovalve latter on
which actually produced upwards of 500 horsepower and gave the same zero to 60 figures as a 288 GTO and added an inch to the roofline, hence why the 4 liters look so much better, and that was done in response to the testarossa coming out

but was still close enough that it outsold it pretty well

Looks like all of them apparently, lol... scontent-den4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/93409504_1564042383773395_6192095831437344768_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s600x600&_nc_cat=111&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=fFBvStNk_JgAX_HA1i9&_nc_ht=scontent-den4-1.xx&oh=00_AfC4gCi2bOiJipEfqvWBRiuwjkS1R_DN2KSiLdWUIk8xCg&oe=64ED13D1
The 1970's Countach was not a 195 mph car. It wasn't until the Countach attained 455 hp in the middle eighties that it could reliably exceed 180, and even then, I'm dubious. The car had atrocious aerodynamics. In Morely Safir's story on Lamborghini for 60 Minutes in the middle eighties, he claimed a top speed of over 180. Car & Driver was taking the piss with that 195 mph cover. THEY never drove it that fast, but merely took Lamborghini at their word.
Indeed!
How to make sure a car movie does well at the box office. Put a car in it that car fans can't get their hands on... Aka: Brian's Skyline...
I thought this was about the hot chicks that drove it???
Lol, nope; this is a car channel😉

I love the car, but Adrienne Barbeau, makes a guy REALLY love dangerous curves.
Indeed! 😁

Are they still doing the mischief race?
Well, kind of, but keeping things all legal like these days of course; so kind of like a rolling car show of sorts from what I can make of it anyways... cannonballrun.com/route
Very few motorists have ever driveen over 85-90 mph. I've driven a few cars (not race cars) over 120+ & riden a few motorcycles up to 150. That will make you want to change your pants!
True indeed, my 2016 supercharged 510RWHP Ram 1500 and get up over 150MPH quite promptly as well, but not as fast or scary as on a motorcycle would be of course, lol 😉👍
All None of my cars were "Naturally Aspirated" but they did have NOS. I've even put NOS on a couple of my Bikes. Hince the pants problem😁😎
@@user-ThomReec8587 Ah. 😁
It could not hit 200 mph it was very poorly shaped for speed and a lot of wind resistance with the design but it was very cool 😎
Indeed, guess the speedo must of scared them enough to call it quites then, lol 😉
The rear wing lowered the top speed too
No Countach can get anywhere near 200 mph.
Well; I wouldn't say that friend... fastestlaps.com/models/lamborghini-countach-turbo-s
@@CarStarz42 and not a stock Countach.
@@althunder4269 But, still a Countach, you said "No Countach" not "No stock Countach". Also, the new Countach can break 220MPH 😁... fastestlaps.com/models/lamborghini-countach-lpi-800-4
