The Lamborghini Countach stands as one of the most iconic names in automotive history. Initially launched in 1974, it reshaped the concept of a supercar with its sharp wedge design, scissor doors, and raw V12 performance. Over the years, it has become a symbol of exclusivity and engineering excellence, particularly admired in the KSA market where timeless prestige and power are highly valued. Revived recently as the Countach LPI 800-4 in limited numbers, it blends historic styling cues with modern hybrid performance, making it a collector’s dream.
In the KSA market, the Countach is primarily imported through exclusive channels. The modern Countach LPI 800-4, available in minimal quantities globally and through exclusive channels in KSA, is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 combined with a 48-volt electric motor. Countach LPI 800-4 power outputs range 803 horsepower. The performance achieves 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 4.7 seconds and a top speed of nearly 300 km/h.
Channeled through a 7-speed ISR gearbox and all-wheel drive system. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 355 km/h.
The exterior of the original Countach is instantly recognizable. Its dramatic wedge shape, wide stance, and aggressive angles defined Lamborghini’s design language for decades. Scissor doors, flared wheel arches, and rear wings became signature features of the model.
The new Countach LPI 800-4 pays homage to the original with a silhouette reminiscent of the 1980s models but built with carbon fiber bodywork, modern LED lighting, and active aerodynamic components. Despite its futuristic underpinnings, it retains the visual drama that made the Countach a cultural icon.
Inside the original Countach, the cabin is tight, focused, and minimalist, emphasizing the driving experience over comfort. Analog gauges, a gated shifter, and firm bucket seats are central elements. In later models, features such as air conditioning and power windows were added to enhance usability.
In contrast, the LPI 800-4’s interior fuses heritage with modernity. It features a digital instrument cluster, a central touchscreen interface, premium leather upholstery, and carbon fiber accents. Despite the high-tech interface, the layout and proportions pay tribute to the original car’s cockpit-like atmosphere.
The classic Countach models are products of their time—raw and analog with no electronic driving aids. They feature independent suspension, rear-wheel drive, and mechanical feedback, making them engaging but demanding to drive.
The LPI 800-4 introduces modern technology without compromising the Countach spirit. It includes adaptive suspension, advanced traction control systems, and a lightweight hybrid system powered by a supercapacitor. Safety features such as carbon ceramic brakes, stability control, and front and rear parking sensors provide a level of modern usability that complements its performance credentials.
Classic Countach models imported into the KSA are typically maintained through specialist workshops that offer tailored service packages. These include sourcing genuine Lamborghini parts and providing meticulous restoration services. For the LPI 800-4, Lamborghini’s standard warranty applies, which includes a comprehensive three-year warranty and the option for extended coverage. Authorized service centers in cities like Riyadh and Jeddah are equipped to handle hybrid maintenance and performance servicing.
During its original production run, the Countach competed with cars like the Ferrari Testarossa, Porsche 911 Turbo, and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Each brought unique strengths, but the Countach’s radical design and performance set it apart.
The LPI 800-4, as a modern tribute and limited-production hybrid, competes more with exclusive offerings such as the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, McLaren Speedtail, and Pagani Huayra. However, none match its blend of retro styling, V12 hybrid power, and Lamborghini legacy.
