The year was 1974 when one of the most insane, incredible, and influential cars ever made was put into production.

That car was the Lamborghini Countach.

For years the Countach reigned supreme as the car that 11-year-olds would dream of owning when they grew up. It sparked the imagination with its striking design, and sharp edges. The only children that didn't want to own one of these cars when they grew up were the kids that wanted to be a Countach when they grew up.

But what about kids today?

What is the Countach of the here and now?

According to a report from topspeed.com Fiat, the current owners of Ferrari, are planning to sell part of the Ferrari because they are planning to spend the extra dough buying up some of Chrysler.

Still though, Fiat will in all likelihood remain majority owners of the 3.3 billion dollar automaker known for making supercars that look brilliant in red.

According to the report one of the companies that may be looking at buying some Ferrari stock is Volkswagen. Volkswagen already owns Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Bentley so why not go after some of Ferrari right?
