An amazing video, didn't stop looking from start to finish.
One thing did sound odd to me ... when he talked about the Countach he mentioned the engine is the same as the Miura SV but instead of vertical carburetors the Countach had horizontal ones, hence the drop in horsepower ... that isn't right I think, the Countach V12 was a new development, the prototype had the 5-Liter engine which tempted to blow up so they decreased displacement to 4 liter for the production LP400 ... but the entire architecture of the V12 is different between Miura and Countach I think.
