The Lamborghini Countach is said to be one of the most beautiful cars to have ever been designed. Pre-dating the iconic Lamborghini Diablo, the Countach was designed by the legendary Italian car designer Marcello Gandini and production of the Countach LP 400 started in 1974 and lasted till 1990, when the 25th anniversary edition of the model was manufactured. Its wedge-shape and the scissor doors are considered to be some of the most iconic automotive design to have ever been created! But why are we harping about the Countach? That is only because Lamborghini has teased a brand-new Countach and we can’t keep calm.
All that we know is there’s a wedge-shaped car, shrouded in mist and kept under covers. There is absolutely no other detail available! Whether it will have a V12 or will it be a hybrid. Will it be a one-off concept model or will it be a full-fledged production car? There are a lot of questions that are begging to be answered, but all in due time, says Lamborghini!
The model under wraps reveals a roofline, which seems to be higher than that of the old Countach. Also, there is a pronounced cut back towards the rear. The front windscreen seems to be really angular, but not as much as the old model. Whether, it is a concept car, a one-off model or a production car, we believe it to be a modern interpretation of the Countach. Now that sportscar was a global icon, a masterpiece in its own right and a reinterpretation/follow-up of the Countach over three decades after the last model was manufactured is something that Lamborghini must carefully tread upon.
Nonetheless, we are waiting with bated breath for Lamborghini to unveil the all-new Countach!
