So my eye from the latest cars bunch was caught by the Lamborghini Countach '88. So I bought it, in electric blue no less.

Took it stock for a spin for a 50 minutes session at Nordschleife and managed a best time of 8:01,445.

I had several minor mistakes so a sub-8 minute is possible for me, even if it needs maximum concentration.
I reckon some 'aliens' out there can manage a stock time in the range of 7:30.

Nonetheless, if find it amusing that a 30 year old road car can tackle the 'Ring in less than 8 minutes. This beautiful (minus the drab interior) machine has great acceleration and stability, especially for its age. Glad to have it!

Put on some Comfort Medium tyres and try again.
I suspect those are more representative of the grip level a stock Countach would have when new.

And of course, no driver assists.
