The world revolves around three types of people; those with fame, those with money, and those with power. And when anyone wants to show off as all three, he carries a symbol to represent it. You must be thinking ‘what kind of symbol?’ The answer is pretty simple. How do you feel about a person walking with a straight posture in a branded 4-piece suit on a normal day? Dapper, huh? Moreover, the first thought you get is that ‘he must be a millionaire’. Well, that’s what millionaires do. They represent themselves as bosses through such symbols. Have you thought of the most common symbol to represent power, fame, and wealth? I know one! A majestic car, say Lamborghini!
It’s a pretty obvious fact that Lamborghini is anything but just a car. It’s a dream, a passion, and a pushing force for thousands. People don’t look at it as a car anymore. Ever since the 1966 Miura Sports Coupe, Lamborghini has been considered as a luxurious car brand representing refinement, beauty, and thunder; refinement due to its sleek body, beauty due to its unique appearance, and thunder due to its flashy acceleration. Whenever Lamborghini launches a new model, the whole world goes crazy for it. And guess what, it’s the same time of year right now because Lamborghini has released its all-new Lamborghini Countach LP-800-4. One of the most awaited cars of the year due to its half-century celebration of the billion-dollar company. For all those who are a fan of the Countach series, it’s a must to read this article because it is the ultimate guide about the new Lamborghini Countach. From its history to the engine speed, we’ve got it all listed. Read this article till the end since we’ve gathered all the best points regarding this freaking magnificent charm-castor:
The Recreated Retro:
For decades Lamborghini has been coming up with iconic car models, each one better than its previous version. But this time, the Italian car designer decided to go with a recreated version. The company came up with the idea of recreating a hit retro of the 70s, the Countach LP-500. It was considered a must-have among millionaires back then due to its body, design, and hype. It was one of the best sports cars of its time and still is considered vintage royalty. The new Lamborghini Countach is inspired by the Countach LP-500 and modernized in terms of engine and comfort. The design is kept as close to the original as possible, yet has a modern finish. This limited-edition car has a super-fine interior that speaks volumes of comfort and the retro origins of its ancestor.
Design Modifications:
Lamborghini is commonly known for its minimal and sleek design. Back in the ’60s when there was no concept of ‘less is more’, Lamborghini introduced it in automobiles. Since then, there has been a huge revolution in car design. However, the old Countach was not as minimal as we think of it. It had some serious problems with the bulky tires, pop-up lights, and rear-hood. The designers made sure to eradicate these negatives while creating the modified version.
They gave this Countach a sleek, smooth, and clean look (all minimal and classy), without interrupting much in its retro design. However, they replaced these bulky tires with better ones, the pop-up lights for LED headlamps, and that ugly rear-hood with a black panel with sleeker tail lamps. The LP-800-4 comes in 33 color options to choose from, including a special set called ‘the heritage colors’.
Interior Modifications:
The Countach LP-500 was a mighty majestic car of its era, however, it was not practical at all. People went crazy for it because it was one of its kind. Now that we have seen a series of luxury sports cars. We can easily distinguish how impractical the old Countach was. The old version had two small storage trunks due to less space inside, however, the front interior was way too cramped to even sit in. It had a huge ashtray but no cup-holders which are a necessity. The windows could not be open all the way and were practically useless.
The new version has a far better game in terms of interior. It is practical and modern, something that was missing in the retro car. The interior is pretty much the same as the Sian version but it has its modifications. Firstly, the cabin is wide and has cup holders (very practical). The interior is coated in quilted red leather to give fine-retro touch. And lastly, it has a special 8.4 inch HDMI LED that has a touch-screen, which is not found in any Lamborghini ever to be made.
Thunder Engine:
Lamborghini has set the bar high for engine health. Since day 1, the car is known for its flash speed. Speaking of the original version, it had a 3.9 liter 370hp V12. The next Countach version had a 4.8 liter V12, while the quattrovalvole version had a 5.2 liter V12 engine space. The fastest among all these four was the quattrovalvole version. As compared to the quattrovalvole, the new Countach has a 6.5-liter V12 engine and is said to be even faster than all the above.
Another interesting fact about the recreated retro is that it has hybrid system super capacitors installed. These capacitors work way better than batteries do. Since lithium-ion batteries can be heavier and respond a few milliseconds late. With these capacitors, the car feels lighter and rapid. It is tested to reach 0-200 in just 8.6 seconds with a max speed of 354km/h.
Ultra Tech-Design:
The old Countach was the first one to introduce a sports car framework, putting an end to the traditional supercar framework. And it was a great hit since its poster stayed on walls for years. All the next cars were made according to the base sports car structure, however, they kept on modifying the frame. This time Lamborghini went for the same old sports car tech base and decided to experiment with the weight. It made its frame and body panels using carbon fiber which is super-light and dry in form. The car weighs a total of 1,595 kg without any fluids and extra accessories.
Apart from that, the recreated Countach has a few tech enhancements to die for. Starting from the photochromatic roof. Since sunroof has become old-school for a Lamborghini, it introduced a roof that can be transformed from a solid roof to a transparent roof in no time. It’s just a click away and there you have it. The same is the case with the moving air vents. Remember when we mentioned how the old Countach had big and bulky wheels, well the new Countach has specially made wheels that look like a vintage telephone dial. The tires are 21 inches in height and have brake discs made up of carbon ceramics, giving the ultimate finish it needs.
Conclusion:
Lamborghini Countach LP-800-4 is going to be one monstrous car. A true example of ‘when beauty meets tech’. The above-mentioned features are more than enough to give you the thrills and chills. Just imagine how thrilling the actual ride would be! A car as striking as the 2022 Lamborghini Countach is worthy of praise and awe (and the millions of dollars of course). It is the best possible symbol for power and it won’t be wrong to say that the person owning this car is not less than a king. Sadly, it’s a limited edition with only 112 units so you have to be filthy rich to own it in this lifetime. But there are still some chances left for you to get this limited edition in vintage form.
