OMFG... can't wait for this, IMHO the greatest supercar EVER made... I'd give my left testie for one of the old ones in white... can't wait to see what the new one is like...

How much you betting the Sierra will not be a RWD mid sized saloon/hatch but instead a SUV with an electric power train.

Just like they did the Puma dirty. And Mitsubishi doing the Eclipse dirty.

Is that serious about the Sierra? Sauce?

My understanding is that the Countach was a dream poster car, but an absolute **** to own and even worse to drive.

I'd rather have a Vector W8, myself. At least the interior and dash are pretty cool!

Ye I drove one years ago was always my dream car and yes, clutch insane, boiling hot, heavy sterring and cannot see a thing. Greatest Car EVER lol

From what I've read, that's true of pretty much every supercar pre-1990ish.

This. My old boss had one. Said without doubt it was the worst supercar he ever owned. Absolutely pig awful to drive.

At least the new one will not have Talbot Sunbeam stalks on the steering column.

They will never be able to make it as wacky with modern safety and emissions rules.

AT least they might be able to make one you can get in and out of, you dont have to open your door to see when reversing, one with power steering so you dont have to have arms like popeye to steer it and a clutch which doesn't require 200lbs of pressure to operate!!!!!

You don't need power steering if you get the weight correct

Plus it's a good workout.

Will need power steering, wealthy men who could afford this will not have the required strength these days.

It certainly used to be one. I think the quoted spec even at speed was that it took 10lb to turn the steering wheel. Its a car you certainly knew you had driven it.

Do you miss your 'Old Boss'?

Obligatory video.

These oldies with manual gearboxes and minimal muffling sound sooooo much better than modern supercars.

Supposedly that crazy front spoiler was to get around minimum bumper high regs in certain US states lol. Proper Italian engineering.
