      I used to think the countach was cool, then I found out how bad it is from an aerodynamic perspective. You know how a lot of them have that huge wing on the back? The wing does nothing. If it did, the car would be completely unusable. The way the car is designed means the wing causes the front to lift if it’s angled to create down force. If it’s angled the other direction, it will cause lift, meaning the back will be too light. So it has to be non-functional.

      Still a cool looking car though.

        That’s what I like about it. It’s the only bold artistic statement I’ve ever seen in the industry.
