88_Countach Report post Posted April 1, 2008 The new movie coming out in May "Speed Racer" (One of my all time faves when I was a kid) has wheels that are influenced by the Countach. The original Mach 5 from the cartoon has a very very close look of that wheel. I can't wait to see the movie! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralfabco Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Anyone remember the episode, with the huge truck of gold ? The truck with about 15 attached containers, was as long as the entire field of race cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApexOversteer Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Difficult for a wheel design from a comic book, and then television series in the '60s to be influenced by a wheel design for a real car in the late '70's/'80s... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one that I remember! I think the truck was called the Mammouth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentS Report post Posted April 3, 2008 I thought Speed Racer came out in the 70s? My favorite show growing up. It was turned into a TV series in 1967, prior to that it had been a Japanese manga series (comic book). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
