2022 Lamborghini Countach - Makes me emotional

2022 Lamborghini Countach - Makes me emotional
This is what happens when you go back in time, study the greats and combine it with modern design and manufacturing methods - something all major car companies should take inspiration from.
The 2022 Lamborghini Countach is still powered by a screaming V12 behind its ribcage and it brings back one of the most iconic automotive silhouettes in history in a modern style.
The V12 in the new Lamborghini Countach puts out 780 hp with an added 34 electric hp.
Lamborghini will build 112 units priced at $3M. All of which are sold.

[@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.

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".

[@epicon6]

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.

I think the new Countach still looks AMAZING, but I totally agree with you on the topic of taillights. Take a look at this fanmade concept, which in my opinion, is very close to the perfect modern reinterpretation of the Countach - it has the PERFECT taillights: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5XUo56dZ7Bpoa8 It would be awesome if the two designs had a baby, honestly.

[@Thawhid]

Yes

[@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.

[@Scottsdale_Charlie]

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

I've seen people on Shmee's blog who are so short-sighted and foolish with their -ve remarks. They keep saying ''looks like an Aventendor but the rear is not even as dramatic''. What are they talking about? 3:12 clearly shows the 22 Re-make's tail lights are in fact higher than the originals!

[@danielstokker]

Completely agree. Restraint is such an important value in design and that balance is what makes both these cars classics. Would love to see it with a giant wing.

[@marcusmcneal7453]

This is why I was so shocked to see a lot of so-called enthusiasts dislike the design. It's such an amazing blend of the retro and modern. This ca will look just as good 100 years into the future.

Most incredible design I've seen from a car company in a long time. Agree in the headlights, but otherwise it's absolutely perfect.

[@wbariq8407]

Man I love how car companies starting to look back at their great cars and then modernize the design and still looked as familiar as the old ones. First it was Nissan's 400z and now Lamborghini. Hopefully this will be a wake up call for other car companies.

[@cycleofficial4744]

Worth waiting all these years for such an outstanding Lamborghini design. Now I want an F40 update !

[@dermaks_]

Im glad you like it. I read a lot of comments on instagram saying that this doesn't look like a countach at all and I dont understand them, I love this design and I think its one my favorite lamborghini designs out there

[@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.

that because Lamborghini has continued the Countach design so it just looks like another continuation of Lamborghini. Its not like the Mustang or 370z that departed from its classic design so drastically that a retro design is refreshing and welcomed by heritage fans

Yeah it's too round need to be more digital square design that gives it that aggressiveness

[@mrsoisauce9017]

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.

[@tomislavandric6476]

One of the best looking lambo ever, and they also took inspiration from older model that is also looking great even now.

[@NukE30]

Isn't there a minimum height for the headlights? Probably why they aren't any lower.

[@radwi69]

I second your opinion : Old is Gold, there a wealth of inspiration lies within!

[@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!

[@diegobittar7425]

Totally agree with you Sketchmonkey, the result of the interpretation and execution is great, nothing to be changed. The only thing that I regret is that only 112 will be made. This project turned out so much better than Bugatti's Centodiecci.

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.

[@separator94]

They absolutely nailed the redesign. My biggest complaint is the low number of new Countach's they're actually making. 112 is low for one of the most iconic supercars of all time. I'm really hoping we start seeing some in depth reviews of it. I'd also like to see what Lamborghini's modern take on a Countach spoiler would look like. If they did it right it could look really nice.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

That wing came latter on Countach LP-500 quattrovalvole but on new Countach they inspired from first editions (LP-500, LP-400 Periscopico) without the rear wing.. Anyway imo the only thing that i would change on the new Countach are the Sian rip-off rear lights.. i really think that the hexagonal shape of those red lights do not fit on square Countach design.. otherwise hat-off for designers who did it..

I felt like a kid watching the sketches and the new Countach. At first I was not as impressed as I am now that I have come to separate the new Countach from the original. The Pantera style rear that shows half the tires is a design style that needs to come back in more cars. Almost all my car sketches show massive tires. It just looks 100x better. Also the Countach had to have pop up headlights because regulations didn’t allow headlights to be that low on a car.

[@DeusExAstra]
