76MX, I like yours better.
With all due respect to Chip Foose, he made a nice design but I think it lost the visceral feel of the Countach.  You captured it.
It isn't enough to want a Lambo, you have to want to BUILD A CAR.

Yep 01, it took four engineers and many months to turn the concept into a buildable car. Through the whole process, my job became to give the engineers what they want and need while still staying true to the artist and the Mona Lisa.

In an artist conception, you can mount a 14" tire on a 22" wheel.  In our "real world" of replica building a car, a 3/8" nc threaded nut can only fit properly on a 3/8" nc threaded bolt.  It's a whole different world while sitting in a leather chair, in an a/c office, and drawing with colored ink pens.

All due respect to Chip but.....nope. The beauty of the Countach is the trapezoids and angles that echo through the design everywhere on the body. This design is too Toyota Camry In my opinion.
