The Lamborghini Countach is one of the most iconic Lamborghini supercars ever built.
First released in 1974, it helped build the brand into what it is today.
Interestingly, Lamborghini has never recycled names for its new supercars.
Except it recently has with the Countach – and it is a stunner.

Outside of the Miura, the Lamborghini Countach is arguably the most important of the marque’s supercars.
First released in 1974, in many ways, it changed the supercar game.
Its run from the mid-1970s to 1990, cemented its legacy as a cultural icon.
Lamborghini’s legendary V12 means the Countach was one of the best-performing cars of its era.
Of course, the Italian marque would eventually be forced to move on and evolve with the times.
The Murcielago, Gallardo, and Huracán have all played their parts in solidifying the iconic brand.
Throughout its long history, the company has never been in the habit of recycling model names.
In fact, with the exception of a Miura tribute, it has never done so.
That is, until a couple of years ago, when Lamborghini celebrated a special anniversary.
It found itself celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Countach in 2021.
And to celebrate the big occasion, the Bologna-based brand did something special.
It unveiled a limited production, hybrid-electric tribute to its famous supercar.
The Countach LPI 800-4 comes with a naturally aspirated, 6.5-liter V12 engine.
Said V12 engine is paired with a 48-volt electric motor based on the Sian FKP 37.
It might share the same name, but the LPI 800-4 performs a bit better than its predecessor.
0-60 comes in just 2.8 seconds, while a top speed of 221MPH comes with the compliments of the powerplant.
Of course, this modern Countach sold out almost immediately after its launch.
Only 112 units were ever made – making this one of the most exclusive Lamborghinis ever.
Even for a brand as elite as the Italian marque, this is one of its most exclusive models.
