I once walked passed a parked Countach on a mild evening in the city. It was a magical moment, like seeing an art exhibit on another planet. This is not only a car, it is sculpture at the highest level. Its beauty was exhilarating, and I'm not even that much into cars at all.

It's difficult to compare. The Testarossa is a timeless beauty, a work of art. The Countach - well, it's a spaceship. A star destroyer, to be precise. I love both. For everyday use, I would take the Testarossa though.

[@mr.2cents.846]

I fell in love with the Testarossa playing OutRun in 1987.

[@zeroceiling]

I love the design as well….but I would say that one might just cry in pain after a couple of days of this car being your daily. I had one borrowed for a short while…and the way your left leg is wedged towards the middle..to operate the clutch literally almost put my hip out of joint. I’m 6’1 210 lbs…and believe me…this could have been a medieval torture device for someone my size. To be fair, in early 1990’s I bought a 1991 SL500 in Houston and drove it to Seattle…and by the second day..when getting gas..people would literally see me crawling out of the car on all fours…the seats were truly designed to cripple if you went farther than getting a Starbucks in your neighborhood. So no car is perfect..no matter how beautiful.

It has always been the Countach for me, even today. The design was just so far ahead of its time, even now it looks contemporary. Strictly speaking, if my memory serves me right, the Testarossa wasn't the Countach's direct competitor, it was in fact the 512 BB. Whether it was the 512 BB or the Testarossa, I always saw Lamborghini as being way ahead in its forwardness in design.

[@charlescoco9192]

Truth is, the Countach was head to head with the BB512... Then, it slid to the 2nd generation Testarossa, While the Ferrari slid to the Diablo when it became the 512 TR...

[@stppearson825]

I remember reading Road and Track Magazine during the 80's and drooling over both of these cars. I always liked the aesthetics of both, but preferred the Testarossa. I've never driven either, but, for those interested, watch Jay Leno's review of his Testarossa. He drove one daily for years and gives a pretty honest assessment of it. If I recall correctly, he said he liked it, but, like this reviewer, said there are better driving cars. Leno described driving the Countach at high speeds as like driving a brick because the aerodynamics aren't particularly good despite it looking like its aerodynamics should be efficient and stable. Actually, I always preferred the Porsche 911 and its variants to both of these cars (particularly the 930 Turbo), and would get one today, if I could afford it - which I can't. When I was 15 I figured I was going to live in a mansion, drive a 930 Turbo and date a series of supermodels until I died. I'm still waiting for that whole process to begin.

[@MichaelRCarlson]

I read the same magazines. I also would have the 911. Or one of the 3 on your list, but alas.....

[@JonasSahlstrom1]

I have driven both. The redhead is much easier to drive and therefore faster in the real world, but the Countach is the real super car.

[@flaccidego4291]

Funny story about the Miami vice Testarossa. Jay Leno said he was talking to Michael Mann, (Miami Vice creator) & Mann told Jay that the 1st Testarossa they used was a fake because the show was low budget. Somehow Enzo Ferrari found out about the show & found out that Mann was using a fake Ferrari. Mann said Enzo called him & said "why aren't u using a real Ferrari? Why the fake one?" Mann replied that it made sense because it looked like a Ferrari, but was 1/4 the price. "Plus who cares. The viewer can't tell the difference & it's still been a great boost for your company Enzo, right?" Enzo replied, "I know your viewer can't tell the difference & yes it's been a great advertisement for all of us here at Ferrari motors, but the problem is I can it's a fake & the idea of anyone using a fake Ferrari is killing me. Look. I'll give u a real Testarossa to use on your show. Just stop using that fake one" Mann (very surprised but thrilled) agreed & next day Mann told his writers & other staff that on the next Miami vice episode, they HAVE to blow up the fake Ferrari. He told them to start coming up with ideas as to how we can blow up the car for the next episode" On the next episode the car was blown up. And he never told them why he wanted the car blown up until Enzo shipped the new Testarossa a few days later & Mann drove it onto the film set while the crew & actors were shooting the very next Miami Vice episode.

[@cogboy302]

Fun fact; In the late '80s Lamborghini built one Countach as a carbon fibre monocoque, rather than a steel spaceframe chassis. It did the rounds of the car magazines at the time. And then they crashed it. Deliberately, to see how a carbon fibre structure would behave in an accident. At that time no manufacturer was producing carbon fibre chassis road cars, it had only become routine in F1 a few years earlier.

[@russellclark1978]

Both very cool poster cars of the 80's. I can appreciate the Countach and it is obviously cool, but it's never really done it for me.

The Ferrari f40 and Porsche 959 in the mid 80s when they came out were and are considered to be the first ever SUPER sports cars. I've heard that although both were awesomely-fast (barely exceeding 200 mph - the first ever street-legal cars to) they, like most extreme sports cars, had 'bone-jarring' rides, predictably and not surprisingly. Supposedly both were great 'track cars' too...

[@DexxonGamer77]

Comparing an F40 to a countach is like comparing a turd to the Mona lisa. The f40 is one of the greatest cars ever made. The countach was horrible to drive and slow. I also love the countach as it's an icon and is really one of the coolest cars ever. However it's a shit car. Comparing it to the likes of f40 is a joke.

[@scottlasater4658]

I've owned a Testarossa for 24 years. I didn't intend to buy it. I went to a Ferrari dealership expecting to buy a white Countach. One problem though, I'm a big guy. I didn't fit in the Countach. It's such an impractical and uncomfortable car unless you're 5'4" and 150 lbs. I bought the TR because I fit in the drivers seat. It had 9000 miles on it, was 10 years old, and I was the 3rd owner. It now has 40,000 miles and I've loved every one of them. However, hindsight is 20/20. If I had known the future I would have bought the Lambo regardless. In 1999 both those cars were going for around $85,000. Today, the TR hasn't gone up much but the Countach is now over $400,000.

The prototype Countach LP500 was unveiled at the Geneva motorshow in 1971, then released in 1974. I'd consider it to be more of a 70s-era car as the 80s ones were largely the same.

[@AceBullion]

Loved every minute, watched fully! For my it is the Countach, I am looking for one and YES am even considering the Kitcar!!! Why as you said, it already feels like one, so why not make it a bit easier on myself. Thank you for your vid. I am like number 949 Ohhh yeah.

[@cloud819]

The Coutach is amazing, but the TR is the one I would really love to have if it was simply which one I like the best.

[@stevebrzosko9793]

"The Lamborghini is intoxicating to drive" I like it.

[@chrisandsoforth319]

How could you not love them both? Bravissimo!

[@jamesgraham5573]

Amazing video! I prefer the Lamborghini!

[@tomcat8662]

Countach was a leap in futuristic design that snapped everyone into attention. I love those massive tires too. It just looks so beefy and muscled up like a body builder.

[@markfox1545]

You like muscular men, do you....

[@electron2105]

The Countach now a days still amazing

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

... nowadays* ...

[@Backtothehat]

Great vid. Two classic 80’s cars. Love them both.

[@chas4life]

Great and respectful review. I am of the Testarossa camp but would certainly love to drive either!

[@DT-of5qq]

The Countach is without a doubt the ultimate dream super car to own. It’s a fighter jet for the road. Just looking at it gets your heart racing. Must own one before you die.

[@AParakeetWithInternetAccess]

Well untill you realize that it is actually a pretty bad car for driving.

[@horsepower523]

"Fighter jet" that drives like a tractor. But lambo has always made tractors so it's no surprise lmao 😂😂😂

[@patrickmurphy9470]

The Countach is timeless. It could pass for a 2022 today.

[@Sam-zd4pf]

Testarossa for me. Love the soundtrack too!

[@888mf4]

Thanks SP

[@adamk1646]

Yes, the soundtrack suits perfect to this content and I'm wondering where I can find and listen this track..? Great job!

[@idubzh243]

Oh man, this video is for me ! Thanks to make it come true. Countach bias of course, the best car with the best pinups, the best posters of all time...

[@eeezzztolv]

I remember a few years back, taking out the 89 anniversary edition Countach and coming up behind a Testarossa, it was such a great ride up through parts of Connecticut and New York through all the winding roads, then just came to a point where we went our separate ways just beeped and waved. But it was a great memorable ride. But I do have to say when that Countach was parked it always drew a crowd, even when it was parked next to Ferraris excetera everyone always hovered around the Countach! If you go back in the video to around 3:19 the one I was driving is almost exactly the same color and everything except without that ugly wing and front bumper, lol thank you so much for the video! And if anyone wants to buy an 89 anniversary Countach, let me know. Definitely needs a makeover though

[@888mf4]

I tend to agree. The Countach still looks dramatic in 2021.

[@michaelvoorhees5978]

Umm how much?

[@eeezzztolv]

@@michaelvoorhees5978 290

[@michaelvoorhees5978]

@@eeezzztolv $290‽ that's way too cheap. That thing is worth ALOT!!! PLEASE don't sell it for $290! It's worth that for scrap price.

[@eeezzztolv]

@@michaelvoorhees5978 Thanks so much for the concern!! But it needs some restoration, like paint and some small stuff

[@erics8192]

testarossa has aged better and is more user friendly by today's standards but the countach was the car that made me a car guy for life

[@favoli79]

Great video, but it would have been more accurate to compare the Countach with the F40. The Testarossa was a GT, and the Countach and the F40 were supercars.

[@888mf4]

I disagree. The Countach and Testarossa were direct competitors in the 1980's. The F40 was a special 'race car' although we will review an F40 at some point.

[@hyperseah]

Love those pop up lights! Really miss them.

[@ToddBreda]

Had that red Countach poster on my wall as a kid. The untouchable dream! Still tingles this 55-year-old "kid" to this day.

[@jaytibby]

The two super cars of my dreams when I was little..

[@MohawkMan70]

It has always been said "you never want to meet you're hero's, cause they'll let you down'.. no matter what it is, and even with it's fault's I'll take a Lamborghini Countach 5000s Quatrovalve all day long!! PS...in Black!

[@piratepress6958]

Was hoping you would line them up so we could see which was faster!

[@888mf4]

The Countach has a more powerful engine so is faster

[@b1bo840]

the 512tr would be the one to beat the lambo

[@danychalhoub4872]

Jeremy Clarkson and crew tested them against each other and the Countach beat the Testarossa by a larger margin than I would have expected.

[@Billy_Bull_Sheeter]

As an owner of both of these cars i can't decide which one is better. They are both engineering masterpieces. Fantastic cars that drive beautifully. I love them so much, they are perfect in every way.

[@erich3784]

This is my youth right there. I had the Testarossa as a scale model and the Countach on my wall.

[@dennishewitt9509]

When I clicked on this, I thought there would be a drag race. He is right. These cars are fragile. Ever wonder what an engine swap would cost in a Testarossa or a Countach? I believe that if you launched these car the transmissions would end up on the side of the road! The Countach looks way better from behind! 🤤
