hello

[@scubamaggy]

Excellent video as always. Recently I seen so many new Lego releases from LOTR, Star Wars, Speed Champions a new video game and even flowers. I get emails from Lego weekly about what's new every week now still no sign of the next Technic 1:8 supercar surely you must know something. Give us some news man what's going on with the next car it's been 2 years.

[@Japixx]

I like the white even when 911 is same colour. It's so iconic for the 80’s

[@Anonymous_0894]

Looks like the one from The Wolf Of Wall Street

[@rickbomans831]

Also the lines of the body are more clear with white imo

[@terencetsang9518]

And now we wait for the Testarossa... ... also in white of course

[@Anonymous_0894]

[@matthewbridges1438]

There is a rebrickable of the Porsche 911. You can turn it into a white countach that looks identically to this countach. I’m worried it’s damn near the same kit.

[@glosphantom8722]

Love this model… will be added to my collection!

[@cbspock1701]

The black one would have been cool. Maybe they will release that in the future

[@VerderfMKII]

Chances are bigger some alt brick company will do it, lol

[@constellar6330]

We had Creator set recolors, Expert set recolors, Technic as well... it might be time for Icons as well

[@biIIybob858]

dust magnet

[@DodgerFloof]

Should have been red, you can basically build this same countach with the parts from the 911

[@MahadShahzad08]

Maybe he wanted to go with Cannonball Run Countach which is probably the most iconic Countach after the white one

[@fantom1422]

so idk if its just me but ive quickly noticed that the taillights seem way too large, correct me if im wrong but they should be a decently smaller than their current state

[@zackmmd8614]

Yea I noticed that too especially when I looked up images of the real car they aren’t that big in comparison

[@Lucianohlegomocs]

The whole car has wrong proportions

[@CrazyCommotion]

They are a big large but not so big that it is very easily noticeable

[@DodgerFloof]

yep agreed, it's also way too boxy and the fenders are all wrong.

[@Exessivecarstuff]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing the first time I saw it

[@testohtoby]

As a Lambo fan I'm very disappointed with this set. How can a moccer with limited pieces (the one based on the 911) recreate 95% of the spirit of the Countach while a licensed designer butchers it makin the model literally a door stopper ? The dually tires are kind of ok but the overall shape is a big no for me. The pop-up headlights might be possible in a later moc but the rear trunk and some details are gone forever. The decision not to make a 400 version (the so called "Periscopio") is another downside of this project as historically that version is much more elegant, rare and valuable. At least they didn't give us the revolting USDM version with those ugly bumpers! Epic review as usual, keep 'em coming, cheers from Italy!

[@rixithyellas0621]

The comment I came here for!! Exactly what I was thinking 💪

[@yohawtdog]

racingbrick best reviewer ❤

[@trashy1541]

Why does the speedchampion look somewhat more accurate than the much bigger brother? The rear lights have a more accurate scale on the SC. The front of the SC has more of the original lines with the very front of the front being slightly narrower and most interestingly I think the proportions of the SC are closer to the real one??? But that could be due to not seeing the new model in person. Plus the lights are more or less the same on both models building technique wise which is crazy with the difference in scale On the SC we even got a sticker for the pop up lights which is missing completely on the new model

[@M0torsagmannen]

i kinda feel the same way, the SC countach is so good that it kinda renders the 1:13 scale obcolete

[@friedrichweitzer3071]

The SC would be better if the windscreen was printed twice. Honestly all those Creator models look a bit meh for me compaired to alternatives from CADA, MK, or other distributors.

[@DodgerFloof]

It's also very boxy, someone will definitely mod this to be more accurate.

[@lestermaughan9745]

I totally agree with you

[@noahsims5450]

I love the simplicity of this set and how it's laid out so simply and the way they made the going doors so perfect. Just makes me shimmer with delight

[@anti_303]

people who buy lego are delusional

[@anti_303]

there are so many companies who do so much better sets

[@memeseller1706]

All of these people were hating on it at once and now commenting positive … I actually knew that wide wheels would make the car look better since ur first video

[@Cammed_okie]

Please make a comparison between the countach built using the porche 911 set. I’d love to see wether I should buy the official set or keep the one I’ve already built😂

[@Ayden767]

First, and also I think that, personally, this is one of the best Lego Icons car sets that Lego has ever made. I say this because I love the overall look, the clever building techniques, and just Lamborghini in general. Will definitely buy this set, thanks for another amazing review!

[@Gusten1986]

I agree

[@mikibalkani4766]

One of the most memorable vehicles from the eighties, there are no such things today Definitely impressive Lego

[@rogerhalt3991]

8:05 that section filling the area is really satisfying

[@aidanfriedfeld8889]

I like the majority of it, however the front end especially the line from the roof to the front bumper is just wrong. It messes with the silhouette. Also no pop up headlights is a miss. Otherwise the car is pretty well done.

[@MichaelKiridis]

i like but man the back lights are huge

[@jeffie585]

I have every Lego creator expert and icon car. I cannot wait to get this. It looks just as nice as all the rest. I graduated from high school in 1985 so I have fond memories of this car.

[@snowflake7233]

Absolutely perfect, the rear end looks even better irl than on the box

[@giraffeheavyfactory]

It's good that LEGO is finally paying attention to the width of the rear wheels.

[@AgainstWokeness]

Not in the MP4/4 though...

[@dmonsef]

Sort of. They still cheaped out, when they could have easily made the back tires 1 big size.

[@Traiseoyo]

Make a video about the comparison to the porche,mustang, Corvette, Camaro

[@guillaume.quignon-Esk8Bricks]

Can't wait to see the next one ! Hoping you will be able to compare this model, to one of the best one set moc : The countach based on the Porsche 911 turbo from FIRAS ;-) cheers from france ;-)

[@H80.]

Porsche moc as of now is a lot better

[@crt6813]

Ces un mix entre le MOC de Firas et Rastacoco sur rebricable.....

[@guillaume.quignon-Esk8Bricks]

@@crt6813 ce sera day one pour moi en tout cas ;-) j’ai une Porsche 911 sous la main. Je ferai peut être le comparo sur ma chaîne.

[@AXPDougie]

I would have liked this in yellow or black and the hint of a black model with gold rims has me drooling but all that being said, I love the way this turned out. I’m sure some crazy patient person will wait for all the exterior pieces to come in the color they like to swap out at some point in the future.

[@studworksmocs]

Please do a comparison with Rastacoco’s Countach MOC on Rebrickable, that’s the Countach I plan to build IRL instead of the official set since it’s so much more accurate!

[@guy990]

Also super interested in this comparison

[@ajflament8012]

i saw he had a black version as well i may get that one plus one of the brick sellers has 99% of the parts for it at half the cost of the official lego version cause $180 is to much to afford currently

[@studworksmocs]

@@ajflament8012 Yes. If, like me, you're making the white version to upgrade from Firas' Countach B-Model you have a great percentage of the parts needed too. The windshield's expensive, so just buy the entire Turbo Track Racer set and you'll also have even more pieces for the MOC plus the windshield.

[@crt6813]

Lego mixed the Firas and Rastacoco MOC

[@marlerr__4235]

Was anticipating this review when i watched the teaser short!!!!

[@briandain8432]

Great Video. Can't wait to see Part 2. The Red will always be Autobot Sideswipe. The White always reminds me of the 80s Miami Vice, something Crockett drove... But the Black? Wow. That would have been magnificent.

[@edwardwnewland]

Im glad they did this in white to match the speed champions. Iconic set

[@Jake5123]

All prints protected windows and the red hue on the black box and not any random colored pieces . All improvements on common review complaints so Lego definitely is listening and doing what we ask and I love that cause I was so bummed about the scratched window and tiles on my z28 Camaro that sets got me back into legos but every problem I had with Camaro was fixed with corvette and I love it, can’t wait to get the lambo!!!

[@Tabbypm9]

I LOVE the Countach. Favorite Lamborghini, and favorite European super car.

[@TOESOFFICIAL1]

Looks absolutely stunning

[@ethanol1586]

It would be so amazing if they made the testarossa next. The complete iconic 80s duo *chefs kiss

[@Wolfi_Da_Woof]

I'm a huge fan of the IRL car, it pains me to see how Lego butchered it in the model form. The Lego one, looks like a model of a cheap "kit car", rather than actual Countach. And before people come and claim, it's hard to make it ok in this scale... I beg to differ, there are quite a few MOC's of it and most manage to pull the iconic shapes a lot better than Lego did. I don't know if the designer forgot what creative thinking is, or if they just didn't care for the source material, but this set isn't right, especially for the price. Unless this gets a serious discount, I'll be skipping this one. Because as of now, buying another 911 and set of instructions from Rebrickable is a lot better deal and gives a lot nicer result.

[@jonpaullewis1087]

Awaiting a revision to the mocs to take the best of everything and make a more accurate representation. Some parts I prefer on this, others I don't. And yes, a black and gold version would've been awesome

[@TnT-tx4ws]

I just finished building mine. Honestly love the techniques used and since I'm not as harsh with comparing to the real thing, I gotta say I love it. Interesting note: my box opens the normal way and I had plastic bags

[@JimmyDuckworth]

Racingbrick you are the best builder on the block!😊😊

[@arghjayem]

Yeah, I’ve done the Porsche Tagra alt build of the Lambo Countach. TBH whilst the official set has some nicer features including the windshield, I’m happy enough with the Alt/MOC version of the Tagra that I can’t see the point in getting this set!

[@J03L-]

That build is amazing

[@chrisboyadjian]

Another great video! Disappointed that the pop up headlights weren't able to be replicated but looking forward to the modifications by someone to allow this. Would have been nice to get it in black as you mention.

[@Notthativoguy]

I will definitely buy this set i been always a big fan of classic old cars from the 80s

[@TheLukemcdaniel]

I still have my old corvette, from 25 or so years ago, you actually build out an engine that would move with the tires. It also had an option to either make it as a convertible or (oddly) with gull wing doors, both using the hydraulic shocks so that they worked automatically. Now they just simulate what the engine would look like.

[@CharloBagis]

I too would have preferred a different colour but it is what is, I will probably paint the rims myself because this is my favourite childhood car, a must buy for me

[@marklinehan6000]

A great overview Balazs, and I agree about the black/gold option. That said, having watched your build/review I would really like to buy the Countach set, especially after you compared it to other cars in the Icons range.

[@idonjohnson6999]

Since they already did a Speed Champions 5000QV (and in white and with red interior), it would have been nice to do my personal favorite, the 25th Anniversary model. You know, for a change. And they should have done the wheels in white.

[@victormtz4146]

would you please do a review of Cada LaFerrari? Thanks

[@DaveMcFly]

I cannot wait for this I loved the other Icons cars I have built (mustang fastback, camaro Z28, Corvette convertable, delorean)

[@CrazyChemistPL]

I dare to say, there are two miss steps in this release. First is not releasing it in the iconic Lamborghini yellow. Second is just a single variant of the car, it would be so much cooler if you could build it either as 5000 QV or the original variant, LP400, without fender flares and the rear wing, the same way you can have the Porsche as either the Targa or the Turbo. I know I'm in no way a metric for things like that but the lack of narrow body version quite possibly lost them a customer for this set.

[@DodgerFloof]

red would have been pretty cool too, but honestly anything would have been better than white, since there's that famous alt build of the 911 set.

[@sashimifr]

I must agree on the colour. The white would have better fitted james bond's Wet Nellie Lotus Esprit S1. Imagine having it in lego, convertible into the submarine!

[@emanuelebulfon1595]

Because the Lamborghini countach never existed in yellow unless was an aftermarket paint job. I think white is the best color option.

[@DodgerFloof]

@@emanuelebulfon1595 Dude it absolutely existed in yellow. A quick Google search confirms this.

[@CrazyChemistPL]

@@emanuelebulfon1595 I'm quite sure that the LP400s were offered in yellow. Anyway, black or even red would've been much better option than white. White LEGO have terrible color consistency and, they yellow easily, they sometimes get weird black smudging on them and, in case of this set, it is unnecessary color repeat with the Porsche 911 from few years back. IMO white was the worst color they could've picked. I'd even prefer gray.

[@MrKlawUK]

oh man a black one would be great. Can someone check the parts list to see if all the bodywork parts are available in black (accepting custom stickers would be needed)?

[@RacingBrick]

Since there are brand new parts in the set, it is 100% sure you cannot build it in black

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

That printed dashboard brick reminds me of the printed oven controls brick from the late 1970s' maxifig kitchen set! 😄

[@otello1o1]

Offroad Tires, yehaaa 😂

[@Beau-x3f]

Ngl tho, we need a gt40 with the Ford v Ferrari livery on it or even a sponsored one that scale. I would instantly buy..

[@WizardOfOss]

Still mixed feelings.....a lot of it is good and it uses some nice building techniques for all of the angles. But some bits look a bit crude, and the rrear fenders look WAY off. Looking forward to the second video!

[@maxmuller4124]

How more stupid getting your consumers? Lego: YES

[@fedorlykov9871]

That`s amazing set! Great review!

[@sergiogargoles]

Everything is incredible, construction, design... but I don't understand the thing about the rear wheels, I can't believe it

[@beyincigickarlmskus5186]

Idk, i would prefer seeing BMW M1 in this scale. Would be different, since we already have Countach in Speed Champions.

[@danielpeters2675]

Green LP400 would have been unbelievably good

[@TDJ2208]

The proportions are so off... looks horrible for the price!

[@ajflament8012]

We really should have gotten the black version because the black one is an iconic movie car from the cannonball movie

[@jaycee2203]

I have three main complaints, the wing should have smooth elements on top, the orange indicators should be more visible in the front light housing (tilted up maybe?) and overall the front looks a little too flat/shallow in comparison to the back, it’s not terrible but could be better imo, great video!

[@TheLightLOD]

My main issue from a visual standpoint with this model is the "step" coming from the frunk to the windshield, that's supposed to be flat not stepped.

[@letsbuildit260]

Oh gosh it’s beautiful 🥲

[@Jayhappyman]

clean build. Will def be in my collection.

[@whyjs6738]

스피드챔피언 쿤타치를 커다란 버전으로 다시 보는 것 같아서 재밌고 결과물도 멋지네요👍

[@wowo4389]

I don't very like the front of this lego car. It looks shorter and more sloping, comparing to the real one.

[@fsfaith]

Looks pretty cool. I hope they get to make the Diablo somewhere down the line.

[@user_iOztnsBPrAA]

those taillights are HUGE what were they thinking

[@Kallum]

Looks quite good, only real downside i notice now are the oversized taillights

[@ikman4006]

White is the perfect color for a countach.

[@Danse_Macabre_125]

No pop up headlights kills it

[@dasstig6368]

I think this a great build! Much better than the Corvette from last year. It'll go great next to me Camaro (might have to swap the racing stripes to white on that one)

[@sdsparkes]

If it was a MOC the rear wheels would have been a great work around but as a LEGO production set it’s sucks. As they say if it’s worth doing do it right rather than bodge it.

[@rc-fannl7364]

Weird to see the order of the dials on the dashboard being different. Lego messed up here? Finally plastic foil to protect windscreens!

[@kcrain81]

I absolutely love the car (child of the 80's here) and your review was great! Can't wait to see the comparisons to MOCs and your overall thoughts on it, but I'm definitely needing this in my collection. How does it scale with the Mustang?

[@andras.89]

I actually like the look of the 10295 build of this model a bit more, would be nice a side by side comparison!?

[@ArjanGroe]

The stain is propably from one of the tires that had some residue left on it for extraction out of the mold.

[@jakobsemajergaric]

Comparing the proportions and details of this Countach with mocs from Firas, Zeto and Rastacoco would surely be appreciated, however, I have yet to see a single comment asking you to compare it to the Countach from Jerac. His instructions are not on Rebrickable but on Brickvault. In my opinion, he has captured the most realistic Countach in lego out there.

[@christopherhandscomb6614]

I wish they had of done it in black that way i could have modified it to look like it did on "The Cannonball Run" also would LOVE to have this in the larger technic scale! that and the McLaren F1 LM!!!

[@RB98r]

i like the back but the front with the headlights being small and not pop up. I don't like so much

[@sidvicious1]

The black and gold variant would have been a killer

[@shambob1399]

I really want the f40 😢

[@miniskitproductions6955]

11:25 it's personally even more dissapointing knowing that i have made a vector w8 with pop down headlights out of the speed champions countach set, i had less space, less pieces to work with and I managed to make it hold up really well, so to see this huge set having it left out is just unfortunate

[@Calwah]

Looks great

[@csabakuzma2038]

First of all: fucking expensive! Secondly: those double tyres so stupid as rear tyres.

[@sasbrzx]

Good video. I think the front is way too short, it bothers me a lot. And I wish it was red, like sideswipe! You didn't say why they didn't choose red though.

[@zanthraxnl]

Yellow would have been my color of choice. The white would be second, the only reason I prefer yellow is because of the 911 also being white. Red and black would have been obvious choices but red is more a Ferrari color, I don't really like it on other cars except for fire trucks. And black hides a lot of detail. Lime or orange would have been awesome but those are more accurate for an LP400 version without the wide fenders. Love the wheel and tire solution. 4 of the same wheels makes that part a much better option for MOCs. The only thing that really stops me from loving this set is the tail lights that look much too large.

[@Shivsterr]

The rear wing Lego instruction manual page is not a mistake as the Rear Quarter Panel is referred to as the Rear Wing in the UK (idk where but it is somehwere in Europe)

[@mini_shot2833]

I like this set a good bit and will probably buy it but there are a few problems that I feel like Lego shoulda noticed. 1-this should have easily been added and it is the pop up headlights. These headlights make them took too Countach special for me, and for it to not be there is kinda a bummer 2- This isn’t that serious but it should be be a lil curved on the sides at the front 3- The maroon part on the rear lights make them appear too big Absolutely no hate on this set, there are still good things about it but I feel like Lego should have looked more into it

[@BrianKongXD]

i think the taillights red areas look way too large compared to the actual car and ruined the overall look and proportion. Really a shame that they couldnt get that part right. I recently got a MOC 25th anniv Countach. The set is very well designed and quite perfectly nailed the extra details on the 25th anniv version, mostly the body kit part. Though there is no steering, movable engine bay cover and frunk. Thee lego set has more "professional" building techniques for sure, but thats a standard for a Lego set. Pricing is much lower though as it is not official. Perhaps you can have a set of that and do a comparison between the two

[@thisguy2755]

please do a 1on1 comparison with the firas legocars one in the next vdeo :) Love to see them side by side. Firas IMO got the dimensions and angles better than Lego. Especially the low roof line and flat front trunk to windshield transititon.

[@Random-guy-on-yt]

Is it just me or do the rear taillights look off?

[@robbinhasseltof4428]

I got it not to long ago and it's pretty good I have noticed that some of the 1 by 1 cheese slope peases are off and they don't line up properly

[@Breaddc2]

I would like to see a better side on picture, showing the angle of the bonnet that line up with the windscreen. From the angles we see, there seems to be a glaring 'flat spot' above the front wheel, where it removes from the esthetics considerably.

[@allensmith5313]

Awesome 👏🏽

[@SweetyNutmeg1]

I dont like that it is much bigger than ferrari f40, no sense to put them side by side anymore 😢

[@charlesbruce9674]

If it had been black with gold rims then that the QV would have been top of my list. But because of it being in white I'll just wait for the rumoured Icons '60s Batmobile.
