Countach is an exclamation of astonishment that someone from Italy might make when seeing an extremely beautiful woman. It was the name applied to what's known to be The Greatest Lamborghini of All Time. The pin-up car for a generation.
From its 1971 debut to 1990, when it was replaced by the Diablo, the Countach is no doubt The Greatest Lamborghini of All Time. Because of its crowning glory, Lamborghini decided to create a 21st-century remake of the icon using bits and bobs from the Sian.
This is the result...
This is the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4, the modern-day remake of the greatest Lambo of all time and I won this car at the Horizon Retrowave update's Wet Season Playlist. Another long-overdue car to be featured in the Forza game since the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series from the High Performance update eons ago.
The Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4, unveiled in the summer of 2021, is a modern take on the legendary Lamborghini Countach that made headlines at its 1971 Geneva Motor Show debut.
The reborn Countach uses components from the already sold-out Sian, and its 6.5L V12 engine is armed with an electric motor and a supercapacitor, generating a total output of 808hp. It can go from 0-100kph in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 355kph.
All 112 units were sold out before its world premiere.
Although better late than never, the reborn Countach feels right at home at the Horizon Retrowave update because of the 80s vibes making waves, a chance to rediscover the coolest decade of all. Driving one while listening to the newly added Horizon Wave radio station is time travel for players like you and me because it really is the homage to the original. Retro looks, futuristic drivetrain, and the overall Lamborghini-ism made the modern-day remake of the Countach a real blast from the past.
To see how much evolution the modern-day reboot has gained compared to the original, it's time to compare these two Countach models around the Horizon Mexico Circuit. Roll the tape.
And now the results...
Countach LP5000 QV - 1m17.928s
Countach LPI 800-4 - 1m08.268s
Nearly nine seconds. That's how much evolution the modern Countach has gained compared to the original. Welcome back to the 80s.
The Lamborghini Countach is the greatest Lamborghini of all time, and its legend continues with the LPI 800-4. Having experienced this modern-day reboot, the message is clear: The Countach is eternal.
Enjoy your new ride!
