Lamborghini is bringing back the Countach
Words by Marcus Boothby
Turns out that Lamborghini have managed to invent a time machine as they’re going all 1970s on us by bringing back the iconic Countach name for a yet to be revealed supercar. The teaser Lamborghini posted on Twitter on Monday evening left us with more questions than answer but I’m sure they’ll tell us more in the coming weeks.
This is big news as Lamborghini is trying their best to push out into the electric supercar market, as they have teased over the past year or so. It’s a well known fact that their V12 is on it’s last legs so it makes sense to bring back a well loved name like “Countach” to be placed upon an all-new model which will likely be electrified.
Or, they could be building a modern interpretation of the Countach, similar to what they did with the Miura back in 2006. Said car was a one-off based on the then current Murcielago platform, so we won’t be surprised if Lamborghini do a tribute to the Countach using Aventador running gear. Either way, we can’t wait for what they have in store for us.
The teaser they posted hasn’t really given away any detail on the new car as it was just shot after shot of original Countach’s zooming about the place sound and looking very cool.
Hopefully, they’ll reveal it with pop-up headlights, the dining table rear wing and an interior you can’t see out of. Also, it may just be a concept/one-off model like the Miura Concept and never see the light of day but, no doubt they’ll sell you one if you throw them enough money.
