Lamborghini Unveils Limited Edition Model Celebrating 50th Anniversary of Countach

Kuntachi LPI 800-4... Inheriting the Original Kuntachi Design

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Lamborghini announced on the 14th that it unveiled the limited edition model 'Countach LPI 800-4', which recreates the 'Countach' model in celebration of its 50th anniversary, for the first time in the world on the 13th (local time) at Pebble Beach, California, USA.

The Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 inherits the design of the original Countach, which represented the 1980s. The name Countach is a dialect from the Piedmont region of Italy expressing surprise and wonder. It is one of the Lamborghini model names not connected to the traditional naming convention related to bulls.

The Countach LPI 800-4 is a model combining Lamborghini's V12 engine and hybrid technology, delivering a maximum output of 814 horsepower through a combination of a 780-horsepower V12 engine, a 34-horsepower electric motor, and a transmission capable of permanent all-wheel drive. Its top speed reaches 350 km/h, and it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. It reaches 200 km/h from a standstill in just 8.6 seconds.

Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Lamborghini, said, "The Countach LPI 800-4 is the best existing car that shows the vision of where cars should go in this era," adding, "Countach, one of the icons of its time, not only established Lamborghini's design and technical rules but also showed amazing achievements beyond limits and expectations. Above all, Countach is a model that represents Lamborghini's philosophy."

Meanwhile, only 112 units of the Countach LPI 800-4 will be produced. The number 112 refers to the internal project name 'LP 112' used during the initial development of the Lamborghini Countach. The Countach LPI 800-4 is scheduled to be delivered to customers worldwide starting from the first quarter of next year.
