I'd rather have the Cobra in the background, pothole. I've actually seen a more gaudy Countach than that, obviously not stock. The anniversary one isn't terrible, as it doesn't quite have ducts upon ducts like the one I saw...I'll have to see if I can supply a picture. To me, though, I understand the changes as a matter of function and not form. The car is already very rigidly angled in everything but that line from nose to tail, but as the performance increased something needed to be done to get the thing to breathe better and stick to the ground and stop trying to kill you (as much) behind the wheel.

And yes, the concept, much like the concept that brought us the Boxster, was gorgeous.
