After you've mentioned Countach having a front lift problem, you instantly reminded me the opening scene from Cannonball Run movie. There was a black Countach with a wing attached to the front. I used to think movie guys just put it there for the looks, but it might've been functional after all. Never would've thought)

I think the hydraulic wing that Zenvo often uses is pretty iconic too! And one of the most iconic but I think most hated spoilers is that front spoiler of the Countach. It's more a meme than something iconic but still XD

The halo implemented in F1 as well as other formula motorsport is IMO based on the whale tail of the Escort Cosworth but shrinked to fit around the cockpit of a Formula 1 car.

[@divyanshuranjan2637]

Seriously at beginning I thought this is a stolen video from any another big channel but i was wrong your vids are very nice edited, much informative and your on point sense humour. You earned a sub!

[@transmongriphier]

Gotta love that Daytona

[@areyouundoingthatorwhat9181]

The spoiler fitted to the Escort Cosworth was known as a whale tail and originated on the Sierra MK1 from the early 80's while we still had the MK3 Escort and about 7-8 years before theMk5 Escort that the Cosworth was based on was even introduced. Although technically they were really Escort panels on modified Sierra underpinnings.

[@schmidei9754]

When you Mention the Charger Daytona, you should also Mention the Plymouth Superbird. And the BMW 3.0 CSL Spoiler is missing, one of the most iconic Wings, it even gave the BMW the Name "Batmobil", how could it get more iconic

[@TylerVogel]

Plymouth and dodge were under the same company the charger Daytona and super bird are basically the same just different badges and paint jobs

[@killermachine6859]

@@TylerVogelI think you meant Plymouth and Dodge were part of the same CORPORATION. you say the Charger and the Roadrunner are basically the same? They did have the same Chrysler Pentastar badges and the paint job was a MOPAR color as well, so by your argument, that would make them virtually identical, but they aren't. I don't think the big wings are even interchangeable ( the smaller, optional GO-wing probably was on the Charger and Roadrunner). Take another look at a Charger and a Roadrunner, then the modifications done to make them into Daytona's and Superbird's respectively. You will find that they two different cars.

[@TylerVogel]

@@killermachine6859 DUR DE DUR of course each company is going to put their own design on the car I'm talking about the body platform. For example the Charger Daytona and the Plymouth Superbird is the Chrysler B body platform this doesn't mean that each company didn't design their own cars the same, I couldn't put the super Birds tail light on the Dodge Charger Daytona because they're different tail lights. For another example with my dream car being a GM manufactured car, the 1966 Pontiac GTO was an a body platform car and but buick used the a body for their cutlass in 66 and the GTO and cutlass are very different all be it the GTO looking way way better than the cutlass. You talk like a mopar fan boy but a true mopar fan knows about body platforms and what they mean. Though in my opinion the Pontiac GTO is the best muscle car and in facts Pontiac started the muscle car era with the gto in the early 60s due to gm restrictions on big engines in big cars but Pontiac found themselves a loophole with the tempest being not a big car but a smaller economy car. They released this new high power tempest as an option package and named the package gto short for grand tempest option. People loved it so much that after a couple years around comes 1966 Pontiac released the gto as its own car and it got its damn beautiful coke bottle styling and beautiful front end, rear end, and damn cool wings coming off the rear part of the roof. Dodge ripped Pontiac's gto styling from 66 and 67 with the same coke bottle styling and roof shape just stretched longer and with their own front and rear end design. I couldn't blame dodge though that styling was bad ass. Now if I were to build my GTO clone or when I should say I'd go to dodge a hemi GTO hellcat or demon sounds even more bad ass

[@TylerVogel]

@@killermachine6859 another great example I heard once about Chrysler cars was that even though the cuda and challenger were safe body platforms you could put a cudas fender on a challenger and a challenger's fender on a cuda they wouldn't fit.

[@DylanKelleyVA]

Dang! After watching both of your wing videos (most iconic and most advanced) I'm sad to not see a spot or even an honorable mention to the Mitsubishi GTO/3000GT VR-4.

[@TopCarsTV]

Yeah, I should've put it in the honourable section of advanced wings. Although nothing spectacular, it was one of the first cars to have active aero. Too bad GTO did it so incognito - if it was more flashy I bet more people would take notice and give it more credit.

[@DylanKelleyVA]

@@TopCarsTV Yeah, Mitsubishi seemed to be shooting for something high tech yet also refined and classy. But man people flip out when they see my wing wave at them. If anything the direct precursor to the 3000GT, the HSR-II would be a great mention. I know it was more of a tech test bench/concept and never meant for production, but seriously - the Active Aero flaps, splitters and canards on that thing are crazy cool even today!

[@TopCarsTV]

I had to look up the HSR... Damn, that is one wild aero kit. I especially love the canards! And the rest of the car reminds me if that insane Dodge SRT Tomahawk concept for GranTurismo game. PS. Seems like you are a walking Mitsubishi encyclopedia. I'd be too if I had the GTO 😉

[@DylanKelleyVA]

@@TopCarsTV Pretty crazy, right? You'd hardly recognize Mitsubishi today as ever having been capable of that kind of engineering. P.S.: I try ;) . Once I discovered the 3000GT, I did my research... Needless to say I hungrily searched for and bought myself one for a reason. This car blows me away.

[@davidradtke5166]

The Wings of the WRX Sti and the Evo are called in Germany Bartheke (bar) sometimes. You could put your beers on them. And the Pikes Peak Audi Quattro S1 has an iconic wing too. But this is a race car.

Last three cars were Ferrari F40, Bugatti veyron and Lexus LFA. This vid brought back memories, the countach when I was a kid, I remember looking at that wing and those air scoops and thought, 'that's not a car, it's a fighter jet on wheels'. That and that fact it was a transformer!
