Lamborghini have confirmed that the Countach name is making a return.
The new car was teased online by the Italian automobile manufacturer and has been named the Countach LPI 800-4. Guesses online have suggested that LPI indicates a hybrid powertrain as LPI has been seen on the 2015 Asterion hybrid concept. The numbers also suggest a possible base horsepower of 800 PS or 789bhp.
What the car will actually look like is still somewhat of a mystery as the Instagram photos only show us the gas cap and air vents as the rest of the car is hidden under a tarp. Judging by that tarp covered silhouette many have pointed out the more aggressive angles and elongated rear.
It shouldn’t a surprise that this car will likely be a hybrid as Lamborghini has featured an electrification plan previously as Lamborghini CEO & President, Stephan Winkelmann, has stated,
“Lamborghini’s electrification plan is a newly-plotted course, necessary in the context of a radically changing world, where we want to make our contribution by continuing to reduce environmental impact through concrete projects. Our response is a plan with a 360-degree approach, encompassing our products and our Sant’Agata Bolognese location, taking us towards a more sustainable future, while always remaining faithful to our DNA.”
We will get to see the new Countach on August 15 during Monterey Car Week.
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. #Lamborghini #Countach pic.twitter.com/nXctgIuyqe
