Having idolized the Countach as a kid
from the outside I have to say a little something just died in me seeing the interior of one for the first time. Ugh...
Hope this helps... this is the real deal. True, its no beauty, buts its much better. The upper photo shows a replica. The original interior had soft leather everywhere. And that was the only creature comfort the car offered. Everything else, controls, driving position, was heavy and demanding. like the car was imposing its will. (I spoke an owner a few weeks ago. Sat in it.. Still very special..)
In my eyes an interior/dash is the 2nd face of a car. Its always there when you're there. It doesn't have to be a pretty face or try to please, but should show character. Be fitting. A place where you want to spend time.
In a very clean dash like this, the change of the grain has quite an impact. They won't change it back again I suppose, or offer people a choice, but I think this horizontal grain makes the wood look like an aftertought.
