Lamborghini Countach supercar is ready to make a comeback
KUALA LUMPUR: Undoubtedly, the rear-wheel-drive Lamborghini Countach is one of the world’s most iconic supercars. It was in production between 1974 and 1990 during which a total of 1,983 cars were built. Well, now the Italian automaker is ready to bring this legendary model in a new avatar. It just released a teaser video of the upcoming Countach on its Twitter handle, along with a caption that reads, “We make dreams come true. We did it with the classic Countach in the 1970s. And we’re doing it again. The new Lamborghini Countach is coming.”
The automaker also teased a covered image of the wedge-shaped supercar with no rear wing. This somehow gives us a clue that the upcoming model is likely to take inspiration from the earlier versions of the car as the later models had a huge rear wing. As per the teaser, the new Lamborghini Countach may get a unique silhouette and short rear overhangs.
What about under the wedge bodywork configuration? Although Lamborghini kept numb on this, the speculations hover around an all-wheel-drive setup with an output of 800 PS. Another rumour says that the upcoming Countach could be based on the Lamborghini Sian and thus likely to equip a 6.5-litre V12 mill and a mild-hybrid system. However, the supercar may also make a comeback as a pure electric vehicle.
According to the roadmap, the company will launch two new V12 models before it will dive deeper into the electrified future, of which we have already seen the one, the Aventador Ultima. In the second phase of planning, the company would bring its first hybrid series production car on the floor in 2023, which will be followed by gas-electric hybrid versions of the whole lineup by 2024. And after that, in the third phase, the first fully electric Lamborghini will break its cover.
Well, to know whether the reborn Lamborghini Countach will be the last V12 model, a hybrid one, or a pure EV, we have to wait.
