WALTER WOLF SPEAKS ABOUT HIS LAMBORGHINI INVOLVEMENT

After 25 years, Countach enthusiast Walter Wolf has finally spoken in detail about his involvement with the Lamborghini factory, for an upcoming book on the model. Wolf spoke to fellow enthusiast Joe Sackey who is compiling a definitive book on the model. He discussed his business ventures that led to his not inconsiderable wealth, his incredible Formula One foray, his freindship with Ferruccio, and his introduction to Gian Paolo Dallara. Wolf went on to detail what happenned with his involvement with Pirelli and how his Formula One contacts helped in the development of the Countach. He recounted the details of each of the four (4) Countach he owned and reminisced about the fun he had driving his 'works' specials (built by Dallara) all over Europe. Quite a few myths as erroneously reported by journalists were dispelled - "Nobody ever checked these facts with me personally" - perhaps in part because the jet-setting Wolf (although an active businessman) remains very private and difficult to contact! Wolf detailed that he had owned several Miuras - a rather forgettable driving experience compared to the Countach - but Lamborghini fans will be pleased to know that he still has two special Lambos in his high-security garages- "and one special Ferrari supercar, just for comparison!". Wolf also kept two of his Formula One race cars including the original 3-race winning WR-1. If any enthusiast has any questions (specifically about the Countach) for Wolf, Sackey will be happy to get them answered as he continues to work with Wolf on an introduction and dedicated chapter for the book.

His WR-1 racecar driven by Jody Sheckter had just won the Formula One jewel in the crown, the Monte Carlo Grand Prix, leading from start to finish to beat the two Ferraris in the process! 1120202's on-board public address system is usefull here as the Countach is mobbed by fans. After the race, Wolf simply hopped into the LP400 and drove home to Cannes.
