For the moment, no photo has obviously been shown, while the Italian firm jealously keeps the secret of this new Countach, for the moment hidden under a tarpaulin. However, our colleagues from the site The Super Car Blog seems to be a little better informed, saying that this newcomer will take some elements of the original version, including the air intakes at the rear, among others. According to the media, the white paint also suggests that Lamborghini has chosen to offer a palette of period colors to better stick to the philosophy of the car. The rest of the design is for the moment still very mysterious, but we should not wait too long to learn more, while our colleagues say that this new Countach will be revealed on August 15, on the occasion of the Monterey Car Week. An occasion that was obviously not chosen at random, since this revelation will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the sportswoman.
A hybrid supercar
As you will have understood, there is currently almost no information about this new Countach, which should then take the name LPI-800-4. This should then afford a much more modern engine than the V12 of the time, which then developed between 353 and 455 horsepower depending on the version. And for good reason, the sports car should be equipped with a hybrid powertrain, then taking the Sian’s atmospheric 6.5-liter V12, associated with a 48-volt system. According to the first rumors of the corridors, the sports car should then be a little more powerful than the 819 horses of the aforementioned supercar, even if it will be necessary to wait for its revelation to know a little more.
Only 112 copies of this new Lamborghini Countach should be produced, for a unit price then around 3 million euros.
