[ultram]

for me its absolutely SUB ZERO

 

[Joey D]

Cool. I had a poster of one on my wall as a kid so for nostalgia reason it's gets a cool. Past that the car doesn't really excite me that much. Plus how do you make a 25th anniversary edition for three model years .

 

[crooky369]

The physical definition of a supercar, has to be subzero.

 

[Boffin]

Reviews say it's a pig to drive, but it doesn't stop it from being sub zero.

 

[JCE]

Had a poster of it as a child, automatically gets a subzero.

 

[Mark T]

I think it's one of the best looking Lamborghinis ever made. Sub zero.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Who cares if it's trash to drive or actually a rather awful car by today's standards? It's a Countach. It's epic.

 

[TheCracker]

As much as i love the Countach, it was my absolute favourite car as a kid, i detest how the 25th Anniversary looks. Side skirts on a Countach just ruin the cars best feature - the way the sills curve under below the doors. As if replacing the perfect telephone dial wheels with overly complicated items wasn't bad enough, the fussy front valance, fins on the air intakes, the messed up rear lights and stupid federal rear bumper all add up to a totally ruined design classic. Thanks Pagini and your weird detailing 👎

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

It doesn't matter how it drove, every perm wearing woman will remove her panties before you even talk about starting it up. The car is a rolling wet dream for every guy, and the definition of a girls father does not want her being picked up in for a date...sub zero

 

[Irons]

As I heard from one quote "If the Miura made Lamborghini famous, then the Countach made Lamborghini Immortal."

Sub-Zero, no question about it.

 

[Adamgp]

Sub Zero.

'Nuff said.

 

[Turbo Lag]

One of the coolest cars ever made. This thing defines Sub-Zero.

 

[-ultraflow-]

Sub Zero.

 

[Flerbizky]

Sub Zero!.. Just for being a Countach..

 

[Giancarlo]

Sub-Zero. Being impossible to drive just makes it that much cooler. I just don't know if i would trust any valets with it.

 

[Philly]

^^^ What they all said. It is the textbook example of a supercar.

 

[Lucas]

Cool.

I guess I am part of the minority that doesn't like the looks of the car.

 

[homeforsummer]

Cool, though I agree with TheCracker that the 25th Anniversary version ruined the looks of the normal car.

Edit: Joey, you do also realise that the pic you posted is listed on the internet as a picture of a kit-car replica and not an original Countach?...

 

[Leonidae]

sub zero.

 

[Jim Prower]

I mean, I understand the what makes it "cool," but...I dunno, I always liked the Testarossa better when growing up. So...Just Cool.

 

[Ardius]

Sub zero.
The epitome of cars that turn people's heads.

Drive this anywhere and you will get instant cred. A timeless classic which will never fail to impress with its looks.
Also the perfect example of a car where looks are more important than drive, but to be cool its already done enough to cover the fact it doesn't drive so good and is completely impractical.

 

[Tornado]

Its a Countach with all the silly wings and such, so therefore cool. But its the only one that Lamborghini ever even attempted to put together properly, so Sub Zero.

Its no Testarossa, though.

 

[Northstar]

Sub-Zero, it's my favorite Lamborghini of all time.

 

[GT-R]

I voted cool.

Cool.

I guess I am part of the minority that doesn't like the looks of the car.

+1 I don't like the looks at all, also. 👍

Cool, though I agree with TheCracker that the 25th Anniversary version ruined the looks of the normal car.

I got it from this site:
http://hotwheels.myblog.it/tag/top+speed

It doesn't mention it being a kit car, what make you think that? I mean I have no problem changing the picture it's just I don't know what makes it a 25th anniversary or whatever.

 

[Tornado]

25th Anniversary is determined by the integrated body kit and the vertical strakes along the NACA ducts. I'm not sure how its a replica, but I wouldn't know where to look.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

It doesn't mention it being a kit car, what make you think that?

Probably this:

They did a pretty good job of it.

 

[Tornado]

Joey, the grey one that is also on that site is an official Lamborghini press photo, so that one definitely isn't a kit car. Just so you know if you want to change it.

 

[Joey D]

Alright then, photo changed.
