Fair point! But like I said before, the exclusivity takes a big hit when you have other limited edition cars serving the exact same purpose (hence my comment about the Sian).
And if you read my reply again, i said "I wouldn't go as far as to call it a bodykit special"

Re: The Lamborghini Countach might be coming back

Keeping aside the argument of whether this is a body kit slap on for absurdly fat margins on the 3 million sticker price, the design is simply stunning. So timeless, and both futuristic and reminiscent of the original Countach at the same time.

I have no doubt that all 112 pieces are going to get lapped up by the super rich in no time.

Re: The Lamborghini Countach might be coming back

The retro-modern blend is spot on. I still prefer the old Countach wheels. Reference below,

Re: The Lamborghini Countach might be coming back

Ah, the Italians and their designs, madon!

Still prefer the retro wheels, maybe they could have a limited edition with a refreshed retro wheel edition :-D

Lamborghini, now bring back the Diablo!

Re: The Lamborghini Countach might be coming back

The older ones especially the more flamboyant ones from the late 70's is still the countach for me. Agreed it has many countach elements but still looks like an modded Aventador to me.

Re: The Lamborghini Countach might be coming back

Lamborghini has released the sketches that paved the way for the Countach revival.

Re: The Lamborghini Countach might be coming back

I don't know man.

Is it really a Countach?

If I changed the colour to purple and told everyone it's Lambo's tribute to 30 years of the Diablo - not a single person would contest that.

It's like Lamborghini designers tried to pay homage to a Countach, but were strictly instructed not to move away from it being an Aventador.

To be a Countach, you need to be at least a little bit outrageous...

...which they failed at.

What is the automotive world coming to?? Lamborghini failed to be outrageous!!


There are so many attempts at designing elements on this car that could have been SO much better. In some strange way, I feel personally disappointed experiencing this.


But then, I came across monacoautodesign's Instagram video, and found myself saying yes... Yes!... YES!!

Such simple changes, but this is what it could have been.

PS - I'm still incredibly offended that they turned a NACA duct into a gigantic black triangle
It's like the spat directly into the face of the highest levels of engineering, coolness & history.
