The pure lines, the longitudinal rear position of the V12, the iconic scissor doors, the integrated air intakes, these are just some of the features on the new Countach LPI 800-4 that reinterprets the distinctive classic model.

The LPI 800-4 on the badge stands for Longitudinale Posteriore Ibrido (longtidunal, rear-mounted, hybrid) while the numerical suffix is the approximate value of the 814-horsepower and four-wheel drive.

Inside, it is furnished in red and black leather. The driving mode is selected directly from the central 8.4 “HDMI touchscreen that manages the car’s controls, including Connectivity and Apple CarPlay.

Powering it is Lamborghini Sian FKP 37’s 6.5-liter, 780hp V12 engine, coupled with a 48-volt electric motor mounted directly to the gearbox providing an additional 34hp.

The combined 814 horsepower allows Countach to do a 0-62 mph sprint in 2.8 seconds, 0-124 mph in 8.6 seconds and a top speed of 220.5 mph (355 km/h).
