2022 Lamborghini Countach - Makes me emotional

@J B Jr I don’t know how many people are going to cut up a limited production $2.64 million dollar car 😅

[@John_Hoover]

@J B Jr Sadly, there won’t be. Lamborghini has announced they’re only building 112 units worldwide. People won’t mod a car this expensive and rare, and there isn’t a large enough customer base (even these issues aside) to warrant any real aftermarket.

[@mraihan7400]

I Love it. They did all of this without the exaggeration of taking everything from that legendary 80s supercar to today. Looks perfect on both future and 80s. Front kinda similar to centenario too at certain angles. I think the hybrid powertrain is the only thing that lacks the character that would lives up to the countach name but other than that this tribute car is a perfection.

Only thing, I wish they had an option to get pop up headlights

[@DefinitelyNotEmma]

Being in the hospital the release of the new countach was definitely a bright spot for me. It looks so beautiful, exciting but also simplistic. It's wild but not to an extent as the newer models and by far the best of the limited production Lamborghinis, even better than the Centenario and Sesto Elemento. Now I want Ferrari to make a new Testarossa and Porsche to make a new 959 :D

[@sentinelcheese3420]

While I'd love to see Ferrari revive the Testarossa name, it's sadly not going to happen. Because Ferrari didn't use the name Testarossa for over 25 years, the court ruled that Ferrari lost copyrights for that name to a German toy company. And because Testarossa name is now owned by a German toy maker, it's now impossible to see how that name can be revived. Sad this happened just a few years ago. :(

Repositioning the headlights made a huge impact in my opinion. When i saw the press release photos, things that bugged me were the tail lights and headlights. The taillights were too identical to Sian, which bothered me and still bothers me. In my opinion countach should and must get a unique taillight treatment ( The taillight housing is extremely beautiful). The Headlights were too Angled and a little bit off. I really wished that, if they were horizontal lights it would have been seducingly beautiful. After seeing this redesign i think i can see what i meant by saying "seducingly beautiful".

Well you'll never see one of these in real life anyway since they thought it was a great idea to only make 112 for a few chosen billionaires.

[@aldrichuyliong8143]

It's not that hard to understand why those comments say that. Lamborghini is trying to force a svelte 70's design onto a fat modern chassis. The result is predictably bad. I think most of the people saying this is good is just blinded by nostalgia. IMO, only the rear end looks anywhere near good.

What a beautiful car! This is exactly what these exotic sports car manaufacturers need to do to keep themselves relevant in a world full of electric vehicles as wells as cheaper cars becoming faster. By capitalizing on their hertiage, even if they were to go fully electric, those iconic designs would be enough to save the brand.

[@DeathProductions200]

Honestly, if they made this fully electric, I think it would set lambo apart, because a fully electric super car, that is a huge modern remake of one of the most famous cars they made being able to compete properly would be amazing. The hybrid power is still amazing. I know he said you couldn't make a full electric revival work, but if any company could pull it off, Lamborghini I believe has the best chance, especially with the design they did with the car.

I mean, the 296 GTB looks like it’s only the 296 in name. The new 296 looks nothing like the Dino 296 from 1958. 2 me, it looks like the new design spits in the face of the old 1. The Lamborghini Countach on the other looks 2 b a faithful redesign of the og from 1970. This is only my opinion tho

[@mrsoisauce9017]

4 the most part tho, u r rite. Nissan’s making a 400Z with more classic proportions, the Supra has returned, the Integra is returning, Acura’s actually making Type-S cars again, Mitsubishi brought back Ralliart, a new patent hints at a Mazda RX-9 with an actual rotary (albeit with hybrid assist for emissions related reasons, but it keeps the rotary, which is that made the RX lineup so unique in the first place, so it’s as good as it’s gonna get), etc.

[@kawznfx]

I wish they would make it the next mass production model instead of limited edition. The odds of ever seeing one is so low. I lived near a lambo dealer in the 80's, my face print is probably still on the showroom glass. One of my fondess memories of my child hood is the first time a countach drove by me while i was riding my bike. I heard an amazing low rumbling sound behind me and i knew what it had to be. Sure enough it was a red countach with spoiler headed to the dealer. 12 year old mind blown!

If it isn't a countach it isn't a countach. It can not be "like" a countach. Like the Diablo it is modeled after the countach but it's a different car. Concerning the aesthetic they failed in the front in my opinion. The headlights don't fit and the front air intakes interfer with it's key visual feature.

[@mstrax0258]

I think they didn't because of regulations. In fact even in the original Countach these were not the actual headlights, that were pop-ups, because they sit too low.

[@terrycornelius4]

Coming from reading many, many comments in Instagram about this car, the difference is just night and day 😂. The majority of Instagram comments are purely just hating on the car out of the "old is gold" way of thinking and bashing on Lamborghini for "sullying the Countach name" so it's nice to see the KZbin comments section (at least on this one) actually appreciating their effort to replicate the radical-ness of the original Countach's design in a modern way.

I agree with him on the positioning of the headlights, I get that having them higher up technically matches the styling of the older countach but it just looks better lower imo

Also to ducts on the side don't have enought of the NACA shape to them. I do however, like the countach logo off set to one side at the front which reminds me of the original Countach prototipo! It's clearly still a rebodied Aventador but I see more Diablo than Countach to me. I'd like to see a rear wing on it and I'd of course still have one though!
