Countach reborn! We let our European editor Georg Kacher loose in the new Lamborghini LPI 800-4 🚀
Lambo’s reborn Countach drivenThe sole surviving presentable prototype of the small reborn Countach fleet is a white, wide and wedge-shaped wild thing. Over two years old now, it has 40,840 clicks on the clock, rattles and squeaks freely when it feels like it, and likes to wear its battle scars collected at the Ring and on the Nardo high-speed oval with casually touched up pride.
Lower than the Huracan Spyder by 40mm, even wider than the Urus and 440mm longer than an Audi R8, the LPI 800-4 shatters the generic sports car mould. Only the 2700mm wheelbase follows a less extreme dimensional pattern. The flush rectangular headlamps, hexagonal windscreen, louvred backlight, periscope-inspired roof-mounted air intake and the trademark wheel arches are among the most obvious visual tributes to the puristic namesake.
What the heck – let’s go for it and roar in eight seconds flat from zero to 125mph. Hit the 62mph mark in a time-warp 2.8sec. Exert more stopping power than a firmly seated hairpiece can take. Open the g-force floodgates and flush the brain from one side of the skull to the other, and again. Mix and match the transmission in Manual and the DNA selector in Race for a glorious workout session at the fat-rimmed steering-wheel complemented by the world’s longest shift sickles. True, the Countach 2.
The steering is quite quick at 2.1 to 2.4 turns from lock to lock, depending on the selected drive mode. At 12.5metres, the turning circle is not excessively wide, but the cab-forward driving position and that inherent inkling of light initial understeer softens to a degree the explosive trademark handling demonstrated in perfection by the Huracan Tecnica. In direct comparison, the Countach is much harder work.
