Compare and contrast with the original Countach designer: “Marcelo Gandini would like to confirm that he had no role in this operation and as the author of the original 1971 design, I would like to clarify that the renovation was his spirit and his spirit.” Vision – a spirit of innovation and mold breaking, which in his opinion is completely absent from this new design.”
To be honest, I’m not sure how much of a Lamborghini thing this is. Your traditional thinking is to look forward, not look back. This is a company that made special editions inspired by racing; Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, a 20-off lightweight 999kg race that pre-empts the Lamborghini Huracan; Lamborghini Terzo Millenio concept, with supercapacitors developed with Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and the Lamborghini Cyan FKP 37, its first production hybrid with a supercapacitor. But here we are.
Possible elements for this countach are in addition to clues going back to the ’70s. It is, in part, a Lamborghini Aventador/Cyan, with the 769-hp 6.5-liter V12 engine marking the last of the recently retired Aventadors, and the Cyan’s supercapacitor technology, which is powered by a 48V electric motor. Adds 34 hp via medium. Gearbox.
I don’t know how I feel about the look. There’s no denying the drama or precision of the unparalleled front-to-back sweep. Or does it look like a kit car that someone tried to make a Countach look like, an Aventador? If we had never seen a Countach or Aventador before, would it have stood up on its own?
