I remember all the Pontiac Fieros running around with the Testarossa body kits.

I had a hot wheels one that was white. I also had a picture of one taped to the inside of my Trapperkeeper

Only for people that don’t have a clue what the 959 did for automotive technology. Flat 6, dual turbos, 4 wheel drive, torque vectoring, active aerodynamics, active suspension, active tire inflation etc etc were unheard of tech in those days. The same platform successfully raced Off-road at Paris Dakar and on road at Lemans. Took some manufacturers decades to figure out what Porsche was doing and then Porsche dropped it all in their street 911’s a few years later.
For the Countach. It was edgy. Sounds insane. Defined the word exotic and was probably the most impractical car possible. It’s glorious to this day.

You realize the Countach was never ever on Miami Vice. Miami vice had a black Ferrari Daytona (not a real one) and a white Ferrari Testarossa (real one).

Tennis star Andre Agassi had the Vector.

Stan the Man, coming through with the knowledge. I watched that episode yesterday. Lynn Whitfield's fine arse as a guest star.

I have a friend with a large car collection and I got to drive one. A blast to drive, but you can tell the bodywork isn't very well done.

American Regulations....look at that stupid arse front bumper.....like at 200 mph, that would help in a crash..

I think there were Countachs in a handful of episodes, like 4-5.

And the F40 was stripped out compared to the other two. F40 was more of a race car, the 959 was a great combo of race car and luxury car, and the Lambo was a “luxury” car with a V12.
