You SOB!!Originally posted by Slowhand View Postthe Countach,

This new car, Aventawhatever, is really good looking. Nice dramatic sweep up the side to those high quarters. From some angles it looks like a soccer ball with HIDs, but I'd be proud to roll it.When the government pays, the government controls.

I think I just missed the boat on growing up with the nostalgia of the Countach being THAT car on the poster of every kid's wall, which allows me to see it for what it is: ugly!Originally posted by 46Tbird View PostYou SOB!!

The Aventador is a really great evolution of their current design language, though.

The Countach is/was groundbreaking, distinctive, and good looking. It is the first car that was truly a leap above everything else; the first exotic. Has nothing to do with posters or fond memories. It's a badass car that still turns heads.When the government pays, the government controls.

I'll give you all of that, and the original LP 400 looked good, but the later iterations were just plain garish.Originally posted by 46Tbird View PostThe Countach is/was groundbreaking, distinctive, and good looking.

He posted one of my fav's, late enough to have the fender flares, early enough not to have busy wheels or stupid rocker effects, but with the wing. Too bad about the US spec bumper though. That shit has to go.Originally posted by Slowhand View PostI'll give you all of that, and the original LP 400 looked good, but the later iterations were just plain garish.
Could you imagine rolling an LP 400 in the 70's? So ahead of it's time.
The late cars with the little tail lights, rocker effects, scalloped radiator vents, and chrome wheels with rivets are SO late 80's cheese.
Make mine red/gold, black/gold, or white/white mid80's model, the one that is 5.0l but still carbed, with the wing, euro bumpers, and I'm a happy fucker.
It's not quite old enough that it's "classic" to all, to people like you it's very dated, but soon enough it will be classic. Hell, they've roughly doubled in resale over the last 10 years.
Low, stubby, wide-little-car in real life. Cool road presence.US Politics in three words - Divide and Conquer

But I think the original prototype takes the cake:

And it's still supposed to be as completely uncomfortable and difficult to drive as if it were a racecar!Originally posted by 46Tbird View PostExcept even better... and it was always a grand touring road car, not a race car.

Hey man, if it has windows that roll down and your shoes don't melt to the floor, then it's not a race car.Originally posted by Slowhand View PostAnd it's still supposed to be as completely uncomfortable and difficult to drive as if it were a racecar!When the government pays, the government controls.
