15 Manliest Cars On The Road

9. Lamborghini Countach

Few manly cars have a silhouette you’d recognize immediately. Of those few, there’s arguably none more unique than the Countach.

If a poster of this manly car wasn’t on your bedroom wall when you were younger, something had to be amiss.

If this manly car didn’t stir the testosterone pot, you were probably devoid of a pulse.

To this day, the Countach is an uncompromising, temperamental brute with a “screw you” attitude. You’d better do everything just right when you’re stuffed behind the wheel or things could get very ugly very quickly.

Somewhere along the way, you realize the bull in the emblem is apt, and you’re just the matador with a fine line of uncertain control. The Lamborghini Countach is not a comfortable, practical car. It’s low, loud, uncomfortable, expensive—and did we mention low? And that’s why we love it.

The down draft Countach was produced between 1985 and 1988, and according to LamboCars.com, Lamborghini only made 610 examples.

It comes equipped with a 5.0-liter V12, which breathes though six dual barrel down-draft carburetors, and it’s rumored to make over 100 hp more than the fuel-injected engine in cars built for the North American market.
