I never knew how to sy Countach. Is it like Count-ach or cont-ache or something?

It's pronounced with a long "o" and a short "a".....like COON-tash (almost "tosh").

It's pretty funny that the car got named that way... if I'm not mistaken, when he saw it, his words were something like: "COUNTACH! Que bella maquina!" (wow, what a beautiful machine)...but it fits perfectly!! Such an outrageous design for the time!

In Europe the car is called Countach (count - ash). From Italian there is no direct translation. It wouldn't be printable as it some kind of swear word. A bit like "bloody hell look at that" but with stronger language!
