The driver can manage car controls including Connectivity and Apple CarPlay from this. New Countach also gets a button called ‘Stile’. Pressing this button explains the Countach design philosophy to the user.
The car has movable air vents produced by 3D printing technology and also has a photochromatic roof that can change from solid to transparent at the push of a button.
