New Lamborghini Countach is happening, teased in official photo

If you are standing now, please be seated. Arguably the most iconic supercar of all time is apparently getting a reboot, and no, that’s no joke. This is not an unofficial rendering. It’s not a rumor. This comes straight from Lamborghini and the message is clear. A new Countach arrives.

Word came a few moments ago from this August 9 post. Taking to Facebook, Lamborghini shared a 20-second video filled with jump cuts, including classic posters of Countach. The clip ends with a wedge-shaped car barely visible in the distance and a very simple and clear message: “The new Lamborghini Countach is coming.” And it is quite legitimate.

At this point, you probably have millions of questions and you are not alone. What you see is all we have to share, coming from both social media and a dedicated Countach page on Lamborghini’s website. The teaser photo certainly shows a wedge-shaped car under full coverage, and the lack of a rear spoiler suggests this Countach could take inspiration from previous models up to the 1970s.

Are we dealing with a complete model or a redesigned Aventador? Besides, will the new Countach be a production machine or a concept car? Lamborghini’s message here is to mention the future, so it’s possible this is a concept that offers a roadmap for the company’s electric ambitions. This does raise an interesting question, however: Could the Countach be faithfully reborn as a pure EV without V12 power?

We know that the current Aventador Ultimae is Lamborghini’s last pure V12 supercar, and we also know that the V12 will live in a hybrid format. This may be the direction this new Countach will take. Lamborghini has already confirmed that a new V12 model with supercapacitor technology from the Sian bonkers is coming soon, so there are all kinds of Countach possibilities.

One thing is certain. Our hearts are pounding like mad at the return of the Countach moniker, whether as a concept or as a production vehicle. This completely turned the automotive world upside down when the first prototype debuted with its scissor doors in 1971. The design was so ahead of its time that the Countach still looks futuristic 50 years after its first appearance. .

Sorry, the original Countach still looks futuristic after all this time. Isn’t it cool that we now need to differentiate between the old and the new? We will definitely keep our eyes and ears open for updates on this latest news.
