Looks great ? haha ugly design . Aventador is a nice design ^^

[@mrksts1]

Remember what most cars looked like in the 1970s and 80s and this thing looked like a spaceship compared to them. It was so cool compared to previous Lambo designs and it became an icon, a classic. As a kid, I shared wall space where my Rush poster lived with a cheap framed poster of a white Countach.

[@StimorolChewingGum]

I have to admit, that despite there being faster cars today, with more tech in them, the Countach is still the ultimate supercar. It looks like a spaceship from the year 3000, goes like crazy and sounds in a way only Italian passion can create.

well, orginal dashboard.. remember. this lambo was build late 70's to early 80's !!! they didnt used interior desiners much hehe

Martin Meyer Seriously? 90% of all the muscle cars built in that era had much better interiors. Face it, the interior of that car just plain looks like crap.

[@Ozelot089]

well, yes seroiusly. remember, the lmao is not a muscle car.. its a super sports car (at that time) ... nowadays its nothing more then a show off car

[@MThrow]

I know it's not a muscle car, I know it's a sports car, I know that for that kind of money, no matter what era it's from it should be a decent interior. Look at the 1966 Shelby Cobra. It was a sports car, it was utilitarian, yet the interior was MILES ahead of what went into the interior of this car. Don't get me wrong, it's got a badaased engine, and I love the body style, hell I watched "The Cannonball run" three times just to look at the Lambo. But it failed in the QUALITY of the interior, especially when you consider the money it cost.

Tim Huth Yes it does, since it hasnt got fake aid systems and 1000 suspension setting or stability control, or other nonsense that does nothing else than interfering and stopping the fun!

[@chefdan87]

Tim Huth Dan is 100% correct in his statement. These old cars you actually have to drive, they are "drivers cars". Like "firemarioflower" said new cars with all the driver aids practically drive themselves. Newer may have better performance but give you no feel of what the car is doing. I want a car or truck to talk to me and let me know whats going on with the road and these new cars dont do that. I want to be in charge of whats going on not have the car making all the decisions for me, that makes them boring and soulless.

[@Firemarioflower]

chefdan87 I love your comment. It makes me sad those days of pure driving are over and won't come back. The Veyron could be the last car with soul, or perhaps the Alfa 4C. Still, as long as technocracy hasnt completely got the control over us, we still can buy second hand cars. THEY BETTER NOT FIX THAT because whole groups of car people will start a revolution.

[@janspacek2887]

chefdan87 I dont want to compare anything but I must agree with you. Last month I bought myself an 1987 Škoda 125, at first I thought it will work just as "I´m too lazy to walk to the supermarket" car :-D but recently I realised that I enjoy driving it more than my way newer "normal" car with all of this electronic stuff. It doesnt have any of them, it doesn´t even have a power steering. But you can really feel what is goin on with that car. In fact most of my friends doesn´t even know how to start that vehicle, its complicated proces and only I know every "necessary" steps :-D
