A new Lamborghini Countach has been released for the first time in more than 30 years. This is also the first time Lamborghini has ever revived a nameplate. With a vehicle like the original Countach it’s a big deal. Although reimagining an iconic vehicle is a huge risk undertaking, the majority of feedback about Lamborghini’s new Countach has been positive. Mostly.
We have heard the biggest criticism – and it’s one that is being debated by the Motor1.com staff. It’s the absence of a large V-shaped wing. We were surprised to not see any new Countach renderings of the recognizable wing shortly after it debuted on August 13. The wingless Italian wedge was the norm for the first few years. However, the 1978 LP400 S redesign changed all that. This is the Countach image that the enthusiasts around the globe remember.
The Sketch Monkey provided the video at the end of this article on August 15 and gave us the wing that we wanted. A few minor adjustments were also made, including three small strakes under the side vent that mimic the 25th Anniversary Countach style. It’s easy to see the deep-dish, pure-retro aluminum wheels at the front. All of this makes the Countach look as fiendish and sounding .
Lamborghini’s Inspiration for the new Countach The Countach prototype and the early LP400 had cleaner lines. The Countach is a refreshing hypercar in a world full of hypercars with contrasting angles, literal wings-upon–wings, and it’s actually quite refreshing. However, this rendering makes us ask the question we all are thinking.
Could Lamborghini have taken more inspiration from 1980’s Countach? This design is what movies such as The Cannonball Run have made famous, and it deserves attention. We are referring to two interpretations of the Countach, and both deserve our attention.
