Lamborghini’s stunning Countach hits the road
Lamborghini has been putting its new limited edition Countach LPI 800-4 through its paces on public roads.
Jan 25, 2022
To mark the occasion, the brand has released new pictures of the reborn Countach together with two more Countach models that represent bookends in the model’s history – the very first Countach LP 400 ever built, and the last Countach 25th Anniversary ever produced.
Using the same V12 platform as the Aventador but with an electric motor supplementing available power, the Countach LPI 800-4 will only be built in a strictly limited run of 112 vehicles. All, perhaps unsurprisingly, are already sold.
For the first time since its unveiling at Pebble Beach on August 13, the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 has taken to the road.
To celebrate such a special occasion, the brand-new super sports car was accompanied by two of its most important predecessors: the first Countach LP 400 and the last Countach 25th Anniversary produced. The dynamic debut together with two protagonists of the company’s historic collection provided extraordinary and unprecedented images.
The Countach LPI 800-4 produces a total output of 607kW (814hp); it is powered by a Lamborghini 6.5-litre V12 engine, delivering 581kW (780hp), combined with a 48-volt electric motor mounted directly on the gearbox, which provides an additional 25kW (34hp) of power for instant response and increased performance. The electric motor is powered by a supercapacitor that provides three times more power than a lithium-ion battery of equal weight.
The Countach sprints from 0-100km/h in just 2.8 seconds – roughly half the time of the original. The new car will run on to a top speed of 355km/h.
