V12 plus super capacitor means Sian based I guess?

As above, I’m not sure about this-a modern take on a countach is an aventador.

There’s no way modern Lamborghini can style a countach now.

I'm kind of excited about this, but a bit nervous as well.

It will never be the same at all.

But it might look epic...

COUNTACH badge on a new model would add mega ££££$$$$$$ on the price?

Why?
For example, if they’d chosen to call the car they called Aventador, Miura, I think it’d be worth exactly the same.

And even more confusingly there was an Aventador Miura edition! smile

Seems like lots of marques could do with people who can come up with new names smile

I don't see what this will be that the Aventador and the various spin offs weren't. Seems like very lazy marketing.

Now, make it much, much more compact than current supercars, with a small capacity high revving 12cyl and maybe some modern tech augmentation and it'll be interesting. (Won't be a Countach though smile).

Those renders appeared on social media a few weeks ago with the inference they were leaked shots but it appears that it is a speculative render by a third party. It will be interesting to see how the actual car compares.

I hear that 112 to be built, all are sold. Silly price tag 2M plus. Hybrid, Sian capacitor job but V12. No manual box.

I really don't understand why Lambo would want to bring back the Countach name and slap it on a new model. With the Miura and the Lancia Stratos that have had modern interpretations made, they look bloody awful in comparison.

These cars are a product of their time. Leave them there!

One possible positive is that the new Countach release may garner more visibility for the original model with the younger generations. Which can only be a good thing.

To me, the new model will never be a Countach, it will be an Aventador / Sian with a body kit.

Ferrari ‘F40’ next apparently, following on from the Monza SP1/2
