- During the 2021 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este I have filmed this very special one of three Lamborghini Countach Walter Wolf Edition driven by Valentino Balboni.
This Canadian who owned his own Formula I racing team bought several Lamborghini’s, at on point he even considered to buy the factory completely to save it. His first Countach was a white LP400, a fairly standard model, but Walter Wolf became famous for his ‘special’ Countach, he had three of them made, all equipped with an especially designed 5.0-Liter engine.
In September 1974, Wolf received his first ‘customized’ Countach, a bright red LP400, chassis nr. 112.0148, this car was equipped with the special 5.0-Liter engine and large Pirelli P7 tires, which required enlarged wheel-arches, a front spoiler and an adjustable rear wing were also installed. Along with a special F1-type steering wheel with ‘Walter Wolf’ engraved in it, special AP disc brakes with eight calipers and a Borg & Beck double-disc clutch, it all added up to an unique Countach.
Only a year later, in early 1976, Walter Wolf bought his second ‘special’ Countach, this one with chassis nr. 1.120.202, was modified the same way as his first car, the 5.0-Liter engine was put into this chassis, but it remained a Lamborghini property, it wasn’t owned by Wolf himself. This car was finished in a brilliant Bugatti light-blue, with natural leather upholstery, gold colored wheels and pin striping. The wheel-arch extensions were black and this time the rear wing was electrically adjustable from within the cockpit. This car also featured Walter Wolf signets and Canadian flags. This particular car was recently restored and is currently owned by a German.
Wolf’s third ‘special’ was actually the first LP400 S built. He had the same 5.0-Liter engine installed, together with his double-disc Borg & Beck F1-type clutch and the eight-caliper disc brakes, which were now fully adjustable from within the cockpit.
This car was finished in an aggressive dark blue/black and featured special Walter Wolf Racing hubcaps, but on the 1978 Geneva Auto Show, where it was displayed as the first LP400 S, it didn’t have the rear wing installed, however Wolf did have it installed before he took delivery of it.

Walter Wolf is a living legend ... What a story ... For a Hollywood film / documentarry ... For Oscar ...
omg that startup is bloody amazing
Respect to the man giving that McLaren a spanking and risking the most expensive nose to tail in all of human history 😳
japanese Countach!
this real wolf Countach owner most proud japanese exotic car lover
A Lamborghini Walter Wolf and a McLaren F1 in one camera shot... That's a sight you'll most likely never get again :D
As cool as 🍁 Walter Wolf's Countach is (also the coolest Countach wheels), I'd definitely take a still MIGHTY 627hp, 240mph, still the fastest naturally aspirated engined car in the world the McLaren F1 🤘🤘
And the man in the $25m+ McLaren gave it a spanking... What a legend.
Could have been the most expensive nose to tail in history though 😳
GOD WANNA SEE THE DASH LIGHT UP
ウルフカウンタック3号車だ‼しかも日本ナンバーですね😊
カッコいいなぁ👍👍
@1:35 Balboni seeing the Countach off like it's his son riding a bike for the first time!! Balboni. paternal father of the Countach....
0:45 wtf
meravigliosa!
Countach's TOP!!!
Best sounding car ever.
Sans the Periscopio roof indentation, marking this vehicle as being based on the LP400S, instead of the LP400 of the first two Walter Wolf Specials.
Balboni say, “ I no hang’a my’a ass’a outta da carrra…ok?
Cool
ウォルターウルフ っていう人は本当にカウンタックが好きだったんだろうなあ❤
自分のための自分のカウンタックを作ってしまったんだから🎉
個人的には走っているときはドア閉まっていたほうがカッコいい。
とまってる時は内装も見れる、ガルウイングも見れるでいいけど。
それにしても５０年近く前の車でこれほど現代でもカッコいいカウンタックは、
やっぱ真のスーパーカー。
Grazie sant agata...Daniele..
5000ccエンジンを積んだ本物のウルフ
カウンタック3号車です
Such a Gorgeous shade of blue on 🍁 Walter Wolf's, I'm guessing LP 400 or 500S🤘🤘
one million years later and im still impressed
моя любимая машина с детства
McLaren driver looked like he about lost it
great colour combo.... but the stickers, stripes and the wing makes it look cheap...get rid of all that and it's a hell of a car...
Those are stock wings
El spoiler, los stickers y todo eso es de fabrica, si se lo quitan el auto pierde su valor
Who was the 🔔🔚 driving the McF1❓
He was saying MOVE OVER and let The KING 👑 through. McF1 trumps any Lambo in any race. that Wolf is goddam ugly vs what Lambo had been doing in the 1960s. This Coutach marked the beginning of the end of Lambo doing beautiful easily accessible driving cars vs cars that really only make sense on race tracks.
The Stig
@@henryviii6341 Looked like he was saying, "Watch how badly I drive around spectators and nearly run them over," to me. 🤷♂️
He thought he had to do something to get in front of the majestic Countach stance. But he was in an F1 there's no need to do that kind of street racer stuff I think..
An evident idiot
足立ナンバーだ
McLaren F1 driver on drugs or something at 0:45 ?? Couple of those people would've owned that fuckin' car had he taken them out.
The idiot driving the McLaren could have easily lost it and damaged both cars which would have been sad.
