Same here .. think he wants us to use our imaginations :rolleyes:

Edit : Now I see :) Ive seen that front wing on replicas. But isnt the rule that the aerofoil meant to go above the drive wheels? Although I suppose on a car like this you might get a bit of lift on the front if the underbody has a little turbulence.

The Vector has a...let's say "interesting" interior. What is that LCD screen between the seats ?

[netburner]

You can see every informations about the car on that LCD. In the later version, the 17 times build W8 it was a bigger LCD out of the F18 fighting jet.

Also look at the place for the automatic gear changer, it is left of the drivers seat the big thing what looks like out of a plane...

[F1_Master]

Its not a mistake. That actually helps the car.

Its not a mistake. That actually helps the car.

What about the headlights ? Looks really stupid as well.

what about the headlights? that theyre flip-up? alot of cars during that era had flip-up lights...it was the cool thing to have

I have heard that the front wing on the Countach was put on USA cars to help pass crash tests in the late 70s early 80s. Something about the bumper (or in this case wing) had to be so high to pass. Then the rules changed and off went the wing.

The wing stands in the way of the light beam. (basing my judgement off of that picture)

omg i was joking.......

[F1_Master]

A very bad joke.


Anyways, notice that there are 4 sets of headlights. 2 flip ups in and the 4 that don't flip up.

It doesn't matter. The Ferrari F40 had the same type as well.

I believe that the Countach posted is the Koenig version?

haha that vector is fugly

ive seen wings like thatbefore on pikes peak cars but never road cars, if it was on any lambo id of thaught it would of been on the miura because that did have a slight problem with getting a bit light at the front end into corners :p

[nescar23]

Anyone actually read the articles w the pictures of the lambo vector and Ferrari? The author loved the vector claiming it the best car for its time.. Yaaa riight..Wonder what that guy has to say now. Wonder if he still writes reviews?

I assume that ugly front wing has the same effect as the back one. Just makes the car stick to the road better. The testarossa looks better there, but if the countach didnt have the front wing thne I would choose that
