Look forward to seeing hay the new interpretation of the Countach will look like….Some teaser picture just released by Lamborghini.

I hope it’s something special, the name deserves it - more or less the first car with supercar status. At the time it was the Ferrari 512BB, the Countach and the Porsche Turbo that ruled the roost.

Been waiting for this to surface, hope the real thing harks back to the original, if its anything like this, I love it apart from the oversize wheels, why do they do that?

I think it's a missed opportunity and a bit of shameless profiteering. Looks like an Aventador with a late Diablo nose grafted on. The best comment I've seen so far is that they should have called it Lamborghini Havaventindoor.

I'd love to see a restomod Countach that takes proper modern mechanicals with the classic design.

It’s not bad, they refrained from the usual fins and scoops to some extent but it could have been a bit more square and straight lined like the original. That was what it was all about compared to the curvy competition at the time.

Not impressed if that's the final rendering. An original Countach would be a good project for Vintage Voltage.

Sacrilege! An environmental folly of the highest degree, worthless virtue-signalling. An unmolested one drinking petrol would surely be kinder to the planet.
Oh Mr Crud, how can you accuse me of virtue signalling when I have two, yes 2, Maserati Quattroportes with a combined total of 14 cylinders whose thirst is sufficient to deny me even the odd tin of baked beans to go with my staple diet of mouldy bread and dehydrated water. H3ll, even my neighbour has extolled me to apply for the bus pass for which I qualified many moons ago, but my conscience simply forbids it as that really would be virtue signalling!

The Countach has always deserved more power, and ev is one way of achieving that without young Greta throwing a tantrum.

Boutique marque placement ...Too few, too Audi, intended only for the too rich..
Capitalism is cultureless...and this proves it !

You are doing an exceptional job! I just think EV doesn't work due to the huge environmental costs of production. Maybe one day, but not now.

I would like to see fully internal combustion, with a v12 f1 type tech engine that needed a rebuild every 2000 miles. So could have well over 1000 bhp and rev to 10,000.
If you've got 2million to drop then might as well be that special

The Countach spiel is an attempt to soften the fact that LAMBORGHINI JUST MADE A HYBRID

Shhhh! It's a Countach.

Can’t work out if it’s any different to the current big Lambo.

For less than a 1/10th the price. Obviously your modern day supercar driver would put it in the nearest ditch but at least it’d be a colourful end.

A 32hp electric motor….what good is that going to do when you’ve got a 788hp V12 behind your back.

You're a bit unlucky to have two V8s with each having a cylinder misfiring.
