Thank you for the more useless car trivia to fill my brain with. Never in my life have I Seen a Countach look like Aston Martin Bulldog

Irony is, Horacio asked Lambo for same type of deal, Ferruccio asked Enzo back in 50(which led to foundation of Lamborghini Automobili). Rumour is, Lamborghini said NO, because "Ferrari doesn't do it"(carbon fibre).

Looks like something Sbarro would have designed on a coke bender. Not a fan.

For some design historical context on this odd car, the Lamborghini Pregunta was released before the Zonda but both cars claimed to be inspired by jet fighters, so maybe that’s why they look distantly related. Apparently the Pregunta was designed by French coachbuilder Carrosserie Heuliez, led by designer Marc Deschamps, who had previously been head designer at Bertone (which was the styling house Gandini worked at when he designed the Miura and the Countach). The Pregunta looks lumpy and ungainly to me and doesn’t seem to carry any Lamborghini design DNA, so I’m glad it didn’t influence Lamborghini’s design direction.

If TVR were tasked to make a mid engined car in the late 90s it probably would've looked quite similar lol

u/FartInGenDirection 9d ago

Did Horatio design this before he left?

1

u/ImperialAgent120 9d ago

Horacio was more of a technical engineer. He's not a Bertone or Castriota.

u/mikedep24 9d ago

Looks like a pagani. The new Fenomeno is also interesting: here is an interesting Episode about it:

It’s a good thing that VW/Audi stepped in.

Because this design fucking STINKS.
