2021 Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 unveiled

The 2021 Lamborghini Countach will be limited to just 112 units, with customer deliveries expected to begin sometime during the first half of 2022.

Automobili Lamborghini has unveiled the 2021 Countach LPI 800-4, an all-new supercar paying homage to the original model from the 1970s.

The new Lamborghini Countach comes with plenty of elements inspired by the iconic model, including the sharp lines, creases and the 'wedge-shaped' styling. The 2021 Countach features trapezoidal headlights, a flat nose with rectangular air intakes and hexagonal wheel arches, all reminiscent of the 1985 Quattrovalvole model.

The 2021 Countach rides on 20-inch and 21-inch wheels at the front and rear, respectively. The alloy wheel design has also been inspired by the older model and comes shod in Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres.

The new supercar comes with large Naca-style air ducts while also featuring slits behind the side windows - a nod to the 1971 prototype model. It also features the infamous scissor doors, active air vents and a photo-chromatic roof. At the rear, the Countach borrows the three-unit hexagonal tail lights from the Sian, along with a carbon fibre diffuser and quad exhaust pipes.

While the interior of the Countach is similar to that of the Sian, Lamborghini is said to have added a number of elements to differentiate the two. These include new climate vents, different leather trims and a new 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment unit.

Each customer, however, will be able to customise their car according to their requirements via a range of exterior paints, interior configurations, stitching options and much more.

Powering the 2021 Lamborghini Countach is the same 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 engine, which is now paired with a 48 V electric motor. The engine alone produces 769 BHP, with the motor offering an additional 34 BHP. The powertrain is paired to a 7-speed automated manual gearbox. Similar to the Sian, the Countach also comes with regenerative braking, with the energy stored in a supercapacitor.

Lamborghini claims that the 2021 Countach is capable of sprinting from 0 - 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 355 km/h.

The 2021 Lamborghini Countach will be limited to just 112 units, with customer deliveries expected to begin sometime during the first half of 2022.
