Tracing your car history reveals your life! "Ogi Yahagi's Car History NO CAR, NO LIFE!"

The broadcast on July 4th (Sat) from 9 PM will continue to thoroughly dissect "Automobile Council 2026," an event to enjoy automotive culture, with actor Koji Uchiumi. This time, Uchiumi, who deeply loves supercars, will introduce selected masterpieces from a connoisseur's perspective.

Uchiumi, unable to hide his excitement from the start, exclaims, "I'm still not full!" With his prepared "travel itinerary" in hand, he further explores the venue, which attracted approximately 40,000 visitors over three days. Extremely rare cars, never to be seen again, and flashy supercars that sparked a major boom will be featured. Among them is a car with an astonishing selling price of 1.8 billion yen (!?).

Enjoy a superb "supercar paradise" filled with Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus, Maserati, and more!

Kar-kun's Favorite?! First Ride in the Idol Car Countach

This week, to the tune of Uchiumi's famous song, the group headed to the venue singing, "♪Welcome~ here~ Supercar Paradise♪." The first stop is a booth featuring the Lamborghini Countach, which debuted in 1974. The Countach, a legendary idol that was the most popular during the supercar boom of the 1970s. Uchiumi shares his childhood memories from the height of the supercar boom in front of the "LP400S," a model with many unique features that appeals to enthusiasts.

While everyone is excited about the close-up viewing, they are astonished to learn that the LP400S "Series 1" parked before them is an ultra-rare car with only 50 units produced! Admiring the many features unique to the Series 1, they enjoyed taking photos, saying, "We don't get to see this often!"

It turns out that this Countach was purchased by Kazumi Morohoshi, also known as "Kar-kun" and a member of Hikari Genji, when he was 17 years old... He reveals the inside story from that time. Then, Uchiumi finally gets to ride the Countach for the first time! "It's Tateodo! Tateodo!" exclaims Uchiumi. What does Uchiumi's term "Tateodo" refer to?!

Highest Price in Program History?! Supercar with a Selling Price of 1.8 Billion Yen (!) Appears

Next, they visit a booth displaying the ultra-rare "Porsche 904 Carrera GTS," of which only two exist in the world. One of them is housed in the Porsche Museum in Germany, making this the only one in the world that can still be driven. Faced with this miraculous masterpiece, Uchiumi's eyes widen as he asks about its acquisition route. Even Koki Ogino can't help but interject, "You must have done something bad, right?" expressing his excitement over its rarity!

The group is then given a special look at the engine room. As they eagerly watch, wondering "How does it open?!", they exclaim with delight upon seeing the engine room, "It's like this?! How unusual!!" What could be inside that is so rare?!

What further surprised everyone was the astonishing selling price of this car: 1.8 billion yen. Yahagi also cries out, "This is the most expensive car I've ever seen!"
