It’s not every day you come face to face with a supercar in the gym parking lot.
That’s why one Dubai man did a double take when he arrived and saw something that looked completely out of place.
Parked among the usual daily drivers was a car that looked like it belonged in a museum, not outside a workout session.
He snapped a photo, shared it on Reddit, and the comment section quickly confirmed this was no ordinary sighting.

The Lamborghini that spiced up leg day
The car parked outside Reddit user DaedalusMinion’s gym was a Lamborghini Countach, one of the most iconic shapes the automotive world has ever produced.
And this wasn’t just any version either.
Commenters quickly identified it as a 25th Anniversary Countach, one of the final evolutions of the model before Lamborghini retired the name in the late 1990s.
It kept the outrageous wedge profile but added revised aerodynamics, updated bodywork, and a 5.2-liter V12 producing around 455 horsepower – serious numbers for its era.
But what makes the sighting so jarring isn’t just the car’s value or rarity.
It’s the context.
Countachs are famously difficult to drive, with heavy steering, poor rear visibility, and a reputation for being more intimidating than forgiving.
They’re poster cars, weekend toys, and collection pieces.
Not something you expect to see parked between everyday gym commuters.
Even in Dubai – a city known for treating exotic cars like normal traffic – a Countach showing up at the gym feels like automotive chaos in the best possible way.

It’s not the first time insane cars have shown up in normal places
Seeing a Countach parked outside a gym feels surreal, but it fits into a growing pattern we keep running into: expensive cars turning up in unusual places.
We saw it recently when McLaren W1 prototypes appeared in a British grocery store parking lot.
Two development cars, parked like hatchbacks, and somehow treated with the same indifference as a weekly food run.
London tells a similar story, too, where underground car parks hide Bentleys, Lamborghinis, and other dream machines.
Then there was the moment a girlfriend casually texted her partner asking if a Aston Martin Valkyrie Spider was ‘even cool’ after spotting the $3 million hypercar in a French parking lot.
Whether it’s a gym, a supermarket, or a random car park, outrageously impressive supercars are popping up more and more where you’d least expect them.
Leaving the rest of us with nothing to do but stand there, phone in hand, absolutely stunned.
