Serious question: how is Countach pronounced? Count-Tack, or Coon-tatch?, or???

I always thought it was Coon-tosh |
"...What do you do when you've done it all....Cannonball...Cannonball...Cannonb all!"
Wow, that Lambo is cool. I'll never forget the sound of that engine in the movie... :thumbs: |
^He's correct...it's Coon-Tosh
I always liked the Diablo better personally. I guess since this is a kinda...Lambo - C7 thread...I'll post the Lambo I had for four months (I flipped it with a partner)...this was a '98. Pretty cool car...HUGE interior space and definitely had one of the most incredible sounding engines ever with the aftermarket exhaust. Car was insane sounding at idle. The photos I took before the sale... https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...81205480_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...63466078_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...00668659_o.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...74933053_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...95999567_o.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...77759907_n.jpg |
Doesn't Countach mean "too much is never enough" (quoting Mick jagger) in English ??

If I recall, Countach was a word that guys used in some country when they saw a hot chick...like us saying "Damn she's fine!"...

That's great to see a real exotic next to the C7. OK, so the Countach still looks more exotic, but the C7 is looking pretty fine, too.:thumbs:

I got to visit the Lamborghini museum in Italy last year (the factory was closed at the time). This year is the 50th anniversary.
Anyways, as part of our tour through the museum the lady pronounced it as Coontash - the 'a' sounds as in 'up'. She told us the story too... You may know the background: Mr Ferrucio Lamborghini started out making tractors and one day had enough money to buy a 'super sports car' (this is what our guide called it) so he went to Ferrari and bought one. But he wasn't completely satisfied and complained to Mr Enzo Ferrari... Mr Ferrari wasn't impressed and told him 'to stick to his tractors and leave the super sports cars to people who knew'. Well, Mr Lamborghini, being a stubborn man, went on to build his own 'super sports cars'. Some years later when he was to release the Countach he showed it to Mr Ferrari. Well, Enzo was quite impressed by it and exclaimed "Countach!" upon seeing it - a local slang word for "wow". Mr Lamborghini liked that and decided to call it the Countach. (Most of the other Lambos are named after bulls) (Edit) PS. Countach Chassis 001 is green and sits in the museum. My sister is a bit of a lambo fan, so the tour guide let her sit in it :) |
