Well, the C3 wins, and it made the Lamborghini turn yellow as it spun out.

........because it's cheaper than another exotic????

Maybe because it is easily identifiable.

I don't think the video is real...I think it was made on a computer or something of the sort.

I think somebody in the comment section said they published a piece about this Ad in a Japanese newspaper. It was real. That being said, the amount of damage done is questionable, and who knows how original either was.

Lets face it, the car was probably pretty cheap if it was real (hopefully not a real code 900). Certainly a lot cheaper than another Countach. Not sure why it would turn into a yellow Lotus at the end, though.

PS, '69 coupe vs '89 Countach Anniversary-Transformer- Lotus ?

PPS- I have an extra trim ring for that guy...
