The sharp and sleek front profile, sloping bonnet, flat and sharp looking headlamps are among some design elements that take inspiration from the original Countach. All-new Countach doesn't get the original model's pop-up headlights and massive rear wing though.

Heart and soul of Sián

The 2021 Lamborghini Countach gets the heart and soul of Lamborghini Sián. Unlike the original model, it gets a mid-mounted 6.5-litre V12 clubbed with a small electric motor powered by a supercapacitor. Combined, this hybrid powertrain is capable of churning out 802 bhp power output.

The car is capable of accelerating 0-100 kmph in 2.8 seconds. Also, it can sprint to 200 kmph in 8.6 seconds. It is capable of running at a top speed of 355 kmph. This makes the new model the fastest Lamborghini Countach ever.

Retro exterior meets a modern cockpit

While the exterior design of the new Countach appears retro-styled from the1970s, the cockpit is full of modern features and technologies. There is an 8.4 inch HDMI centre touchscreen. 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.
