Countach? It’s a risky exercise, as more than just being an icon for Lamborghini, it’s also the car that arguably defined the notion of a bedroom wall poster supercar. Yet it’s a path Lambo has decided to tread in revealing the limited-run Countach LPI 800-4, itself a celebration of 50 years since the original Countach concept first stunned the crowds at the 1971 Geneva motor show.
Before Lamborghini hands first examples to their lucky buyers in the coming months, images have surfaced of the model out on public roads for the very first time. Being a celebration of the Countach design, the model was joined by both the first and final iterations of the original; the Countach LP 400 and Countach 25th Anniversary.The new Countach will be limited to 112 units as one of Lamborghini’s ‘few-of’ models in a similar fashion to the.
From here, though, the new Countach LPI 800-4 is packed with elements from the Countach’s greatest hits, from glass detailing on the roof referencing the original LP400 ‘Periscopio’ roadcar, and a chunky lower lip inspired by the later Quattrovalvole. Even the colour and trim of this initial show car references Ferruccio’s own LP400 S company car, sharing the same Bianco Siderale exterior colour and two-tone red and black interior.
Lamborghini has not yet announced pricing, but the 112 units will reach customers from Q1 this year. With the Aventador’s successor on its way, the Countach will likely be one of the last ‘few-of’ models to be built on the current V12 Lamborghini architecture, and without any open-top Countach models in the back catalogue, this one will likely remain a coupe.
Does the new Countach have a hidden rear wing? The bodywork looks like there could be one but I havent seen a photo of it activated.
Does look kinda awesome!
Amazing how the true Countach still looks sensational and pisses all over the reinterpretation. No wonder Gandini was pissed 😂
Now fest your eyes on a real Countach. Not an Aventador parts bin special countach lamborghini
Looks like something out of GTAOnline Lamborghini
I think that’s my next car.
I don't get the hate for this - I'd happily own one
I'm not a big fan of Lamborghini but this I love
Which would you have? 💚🤍🗯
Gandini wrote an open letter condemning this car and disassociating himself from it entirely. Like, just think about that. Such a piss poor money grab.
Hmmmm. Side by side, the original’s awesomeness simply reveals how lame the new one is. 😕
You mean the new Aventador parts bin special. It’s no Countach
