1980s Supercar Icons Showdown: Lamborghini Countach Vs. Ferrari Testarossa

If you grew up in the ’80s and were into cars, there’s a good chance you had one of two cars (or maybe both) as a poster on your bedroom wall: the Ferrari Testarossa and the Lamborghini Countach. But which was the best in real life?

That’s the question at the heart of this video from 888MF, which pitted a 1986 Countach LP 5000QV against a 1988 Testarossa to find out what they are like to drive on the road.

Although the Ferrari has been driven much less, showing only 8,000 miles (12,875 km) on the odometer, it feels like the car you’d prefer to drive day to day. It might be a little less visually striking than the Lamborghini but it’s a much more mature vehicle.

With build quality that befits its price tag, a quiet engine, good visibility, and predictable handling, the Testarossa is a remarkably easy car to drive. The gated shifter does take some getting used to, but the rest of it just feels like a normal car. And a good one at that.

The host says he’d be ready to take it across a continent if he had to, something he’d be much less willing to do in the Countach. With somewhat questionable build quality, absolutely appalling visibility, and braking performance that doesn’t inspire confidence, the Countach is a much less civilized affair.

There is an advantage to that, though. On a short drive, it makes much more of an impact than the Ferrari. It’s loud, it’s heavy, and it looks wild. It’s an absolute showboat of a car and if you just want to experience something fun for a little while, it’s peerless.

Whereas the Ferrari is a real grand tourer that you might actually drive, the Lamborghini is more of a showpiece that you use to impress your friends. Today, as it was for the children of the ’80s, the Countach remains, essentially, the automotive poster child of that wild decade that, if you can afford it, you can have in your garage instead of on your bedroom wall.

Audi RS6 Avant And Lamborghini Urus Engage In Super Estate Vs. Super SUV Duel

<!––>

If you want a luxurious family car that provides the type of performance you’d expect from a supercar, the Lamborghini Urus and Audi RS6 Avant are two of the finest options available.

Top Gear put the two against each other during the TV show’s 29th season that aired in late 2020. Driving the RS6 Avant was Chris Harris while Paddy McGuinness was piloting the Urus. The review has since been re-posted to YouTube.

To see which is better, the hosts set up a short handling course designed to simulate the drive from home to school. Harris managed to set a best time of 1:20.28 with the Audi, while McGuinness completed the course in 1:24.6 in the Lamborghini, although some of the discrepancy between the two could be chalked up to the driving skills of the pair.

As a matter of fact, The Stig drove both the Urus and RS6 Avant around the show’s test track during the same episode. He set a best time of 1:21.7 in the Lamborghini and a 1:21.9 in the Audi, proving just how well matched these two are.

If we had to choose between the two, we’d probably opt for the Audi because of its more restrained styling, cheaper price tag, and lower center of gravity. Which would you rather own?

We Bet The Lamborghini Huracan Performante Spyder Can’t Hold A Candle To The McLaren P1

Despite its production having ended five years ago, the McLaren P1 continues to be subjected to drag races against different rivals.

We’ve seen it take on vehicles such as the Porsche Taycan Turbo S and the Ferrari F40 earlier this year, and more recently, it was pitted against the Lamborghini Huracan Performante Spyder.

With 903 hp and 664 pound-feet (900 Nm) of torque produced by the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 and electric motor, the P1 does the 0 to 60 mph (0-96 km/h) sprint in just 2.8 seconds, while flat out, it will hit 217 mph (350 km/h).

As for the Huracan Performante, it comes with a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 which pumps out 631 HP and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm). That’s 30 HP and 30 lb-ft (40 Nm) more than the LP610-4 Spyder, which results in 3 seconds to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) from a standstill and a 202 mph (325 km/h) maximum speed.

Lamborghini has given the Performante some very clever active aerodynamics, a revised ANIMA, recalibrated ESC, tuned suspension and more responsive steering, which should help it go fast around a track. However, this is a quarter-mile sprint drag race and the only things that matter are sheer power and laying it down properly. Thus, the P1 holds the upper hand, so we don’t expect the Huracan Performante Spyder to pull off a surprise – or did it?
