And now it’s back! For a company that typically looks to the future rather than its past the fact Lamborghini has reinvented the Countach for the modern age speaks to its significance. But, as even supercars embrace electrification, this perhaps seems as good a time as any to celebrate the past but look ahead to what’s coming. As Rory discovers, the new Countach LP800-4 does just that with its pairing of a snarling V12 petrol engine (as the original had) along with cutting edge, ‘super capacitor’ powered electric assistance. Because, let’s face it, Lamborghini was never going to follow the herd and go with a regular, battery-assisted form of hybrid drive, was it?


So, buckle up for a ride to remember as Rory delves into Countach myth and legend to discover if this LP800-4 version is worthy of the name. And has a bit of a riff on one of those iconic movie moments in which the car has starred along the way.
