That sounds incredible, a modern day Countach would be really exciting, but with that limited to 100 units it will probably be out of reach to us ordinary buyers. I would love to hear more about it.

 

Maybe we can pool our weekly allowance and buy one as a group? I’ll drive it on Friday’s and Saturdays, you guys can have the other days.

One more thing, don’t let the spouse know. It’ll be our man cave secret!

 

Something to look forward to.

 

Damn I was always thinking of the possibility of a modernized Countach. Sucks that it's that exclusive, if it was slightly above SVJ Roadster - level pricing I would seriously consider it. The Countach is such an iconic car but unfortunately is near impossible to drive compared to modern cars. Really looking forward to the re-designed modern look!

 

I would seriously consider it

Mortgage your house. That sucker will double in price in the first few weeks.

 

I wil believe it when I see it
Hate to be the negative nelly, very very doubtful.

 

Yeah, I kind of feel the same way, but it sure would be neat if it were to come about.

 

Is this the Lamborghini Aventador "Nes Countach" - The Final Aventador? - The Supercar Blog

Images of a new Lamborghini have surfaced on social media. It was spotted at the factory and we believe that it could be the Aventador “Nes Countach”. So, what is the Nes Countach? Well, it is rumored to be the final iteration of the Aventador. Looking at the images, the car appears to be based […]

That goes with what OP said, 100 units:

I heard from my dealer that Lambo will be showing a limited edition (around a 100) car which will be a modern version of the Countach. It'll be based on the Aventador but look like a modern Countach. The car is to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the Countach. Price will be similar to the Sian, not sure when they'll be showing the car. My guess is Quail which is still on but we shall see.

 

It will look like this
Just like 50 years ago.
Oh wait, this was 50 years ago

 

It's happening, we'll bump this thread once the car is released.

 

I’ve always subscribed to the theory “never meet your heroes”. If they designed a modern Countach on an Aventador frame something tells me I would be quite disappointed. Stick with modern or go back to Countach, but don’t do both.

 

I dunno...Ford did an amazing job with 05/06 GT. Just the right balance of homage and modern enhancement. If Lamborghini sticks the landing, the car could be quite special.

 

To me that just looks like a regular old Aventador with a slightly different rear bumper. Would love to see a drastically different style mimic attempt at the Countach if they're actually going to do it, particularly if it's going to be some multi-million dollar, 100 production units type of thing. The Sian is based on the Aventador too and looks a lot different than an Aventador with special badges on the side. But perhaps this will simply be another special edition trim for the Aventador that is still in the SVJ price range.

 

Yes, it does look pretty cool, but just looks like an Aventador with some upgrades.

 

It's highly unlikely but I'm really hoping for something like this that keeps the essence of the original while modernizing the car slightly. One can only dream.

Since Ferrari is also planning to come out with a limited F40 Icona special edition car a modernized Countach would fit perfectly into that trend.

 

So skeptical, but hopeful. Not likely in my price range, but one can dream and enjoy staring at it.
The vehicle in the article is uninspiring for the name/badge Countach.

 

They had a “Muira” edition of the Aventador and it was ho hum, in my opinion, a two-tone paint color and other small features but nothing dramatic. But, if they do to it what the pictures show that Almdudler posted above, it would be breathtaking.

 

.....

 

And in the event that it does get built, god help us with what motor will be used with future regulations.

why oh why

 

Gotta be better than this?

Lamborghini Countach Gets Aventador SV Makeover in Mind-Blowing Mashup

As those of you following our Lamborghini stories closely have noticed, the... Santa'Agata Bolognese time machine theme is trending this September.

Russ you will need another new car in a year or so. With all the new ones you buy , you can probably get on the list. If they actually make one that is like the countach, it would probably double in value. Worth looking into. I dont buy new ones so I am dogmeat as far as Lambo is concerned. Lee

 

Lee, it’s getting tougher each time I buy a new one now, my wife is starting to ask for shiny glittery things. I can’t have that it would cut into my Lamborghini budget. What’s a guy to do?

 

Russk my daughter makes GREAT shiny glittery art work. As long as your wife doesnt specify much more than "shiny and glittery", i think i can have you covered. Trying to keep the lambo dream alive and well haha

Russk, that new Countach looks shiny and glittery to me! Especially in the sun!

 

I scoured the web and can't find any word or insight on this from any of the auto mags. Any updates on it?

 

I have NOT seen any credible sources that suggest this build.
you would think, the recreation of the most iconic car ever built would get some press.
You would think that other Lamborghini forums would be reporting this........and NADA

 

Why are so worked about this? It's not like you can afford it anyways.

VVIP's knew about the Sian because they attended the NYC preview event but the general public didn't know about the Sian until it showed up at Frankfurt so just wait until more information leaks online or go ask your dealer.

 

Its happening

 

Is that the power of positive thinking at work?

 

Easter eggs! Easter eggs baby!

 

Oh yeh, how many extra gears was that again?

 

My dealer just basically confirmed that the Countach special/final edition car is happening, really hyped! My guess is for an unveil later this year since SVJs and Sians are still being built until the end of summer.

 

Agree with @06VistaBlueGT, @topcarbon's questions were both reasonable and appropriate. We are just a bunch of car enthusiasts trying to ferret out info.

 

All the renderings here not unlike a Frankenstein fanboy blend of a aventador and countach are laughable and amateurish. The Ford update and others pale and are minuscule and not even of the same class as the forever iconic timeless breakthrough and radically advanced Countach.
Modern Audighinis are deficient in one of the most important ingredients...

BRUTALITY.

It is an essential trait from Fertrucio.


It can only be as if it had 50 more years of Countach specific development... aventador mechanics basis should not be conflated with Aventador esthetics...

no dear readers; there is only one way...

only him...

and ONLY him...

it can only be done not by audighini committee...



but


only...
