Neither the Diablo VTTT nor this Countach are factory. The Countach TT system is made by Koenig, the Diablos were done by Historic Racing. Both are highly overrated, the Diablos are lucky to make 525rwhp, and imagine trying to run 1.5 bar on a carbed TT system like that of the Countach.

If you owned it it would be the fastest most bad ass car ever made. Why cant people just appreciate something cool for what it is?

This thread never gets old. I am so intrigued by this car.

It is the Lambo equivalent of the McLaren F1 - a no-holds-barred beast of a machine.

Allan, I am no expert, but some short research tells the story of this car (the Countach featured by the OP) being built for the then-owner of Lamborghini at his request. Is that incorrect?

According to Sport Auto this Countach is factory built. Are you saying they are using components from Koenig but that the car was assembled in the Lambo factory? I'd love to know more.
