A new Countach is coming.

Now if this is true, it would be a lifetimes dream of mine coming true. Also blow this so called new 'Countach' out of the water! It would certainly make up for all those disappointed by the lpi 800-4.

The teaser video I've seen posted from Lambo shows the iconic seats being re-trimmed. I can live in hope . . .

 

the point of renderings is to visualize what we've all verbalized. also, future mods and variants and tributes may be made based on critiques we've expressed

 

If they REALLY want to bring the Countach full circle in the company, they should do a short run of cars with Pagani making them chassis.

Stick the v12 in and only make the run in manual and sell them for $7.5-$10m a piece. All Carbon V12 stick. I would get on a list for that car. 5-10 cars only.

Countach Evo II

 

Each on their own. 7-10 mil for a Pagani chassis ,v12, man trans, badged as a Countach?,have at it.

 

Just leave the Countach alone.

 

the new teaser clearly shows the LP500 gills behind the door:

 

Yuk. 36 cylinders between the two Countachs and the parts bin special Aventador. And you can’t hear any of them. What is the point!

 

Something terribly wrong with me.......I actually like it now.
I do not like the modern tech and electronics but I am starting to like the body. I am looking at it without the Countach in mind.....just another car.

This probably should have been the Aventador and had the Aventador name on it when the Aventador came out. Or the next generation Aventador.

Perhaps people would have thought it was cool that the new "Aventador" had some Countach styling queues
Just an opinion.

 

similar to my thoughts, it's a good looking car just don't like the countach name on it. The side is the worst part in my opinion

I think it’s a beautiful car, just don’t call it a countach

 

i always liked this car,the Countach badging is another story, but the car imho looks great .Love to see one in Tahiti blue or the green Sackey had on his 81 lp 400s

 

Whoever gave final approval for this car should be (bull)-whipped, the clumsily-applied cartoon-size NACA ducts, the butchered Flying rear wheel arches, the messy rear-end, the characterless front end, this car is very hard to like and that's even if you've never seen the original Countach!

Homage cars can be done tastefully and in some rare instances such as with Ford's GT they can be even better than the original, definitely not the case here.

"Kids, quick, look away!"

Thankfully there are thousands of Lamborghinis money can buy that are very cool.

 

Each to their own. Imho the worst looking low production super car is the F50. Cartoonish round lAck of character lines. In the flesh silly looking.

 

Indeed beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all aesthetic views are subjective, that said I'd take Ferrari's Pininfarina-designed F50 over the new Countach abomination all day, every day, forever.

Have you seen the car in person?

 

Yes, several times. Last time cars on fifth ,Naples. (Lots of exotics in my environment Friends/customers/people i know. From 275 s to La Ferrari s. Enzos 288 gto. Zonda s and Sennas. List goes on,All in very close proximity, my personal favorit for feel good and style is the 66 275 GTB. Just cool. Loved driving it. Enzo is really Growing on me. (Never drove it but will). La Ferrari is insanely quick , drove it love it. 288 GTO is beautiful and timeless , drove it , loved it. Reminded me of my Countach in the smell and overall feeling kinda way, List goes on. Back to your Question. I have seen the car. In red. Not black , not my thing. Very bathtub ish kinda. The wing extending across to the outside fender integration the grinning cheek front end. No i am not a big fan.

Story says the wing was not a factory option. Think it was! But could not be fitted inside the factory.

 

It wasn't a factory option as it wasn't type approved. In the 1980s Portman Concessionaires (the UK Lamborghini supplier) would sell you the car and after you bought they would drill holes in the engine cover to fit the wing, it was an aftermarket modification.
