Does it still overheat whenever it is driven hard, or stopped in traffic?

They misnamed it, should have been the Lamborghini incontinent. Or maybe Countach is Italian for "involuntary loss of fluids".

Does it hold more grocery bags than a 1974 Pinto?

Is it electric?

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but my bet is not one Lambo has been used to haul groceries in 25 years.

Even when the Bugatti is in the shop?

Only car I ever had a poster of in my room.

Right next to Farah Fawcett, I'm guessing.

Gas mileage? Gas ain't cheap you know.

wow, very well executed retro if you ask me.

Its 1985 all over again for me, acid wash jeans, denin mini skirts, big hair, the Cars playing in the background and the ever elusive Countach.

I actually almost got to drive one one time. I was the guy at Rainbow car wash that took the cars and put them on the line in the automated wash. Only they determined after vacuming it out, that its rear tires were too wide to fit on the track so I didnt get to drive it around.

A red Lamborghini Countach, this close!

I agree. They did a very good job of making a modern version of the Countach. I definitely had a poster of a red Countach in my bedroom growing up right next to the Farah Fawcett red swimsuit poster. Two classics.

The crazy thing is if you are a preferred customer you will probably make money when you go to sell it.

Isn't gray hair or at least obviously dyed hair (from gray) a requirement for a new Vette (along with a skinny gal 25 years your junior on your arm) a prerequisite for buying one?

You know, that does not sound like the worst thing in the world. Shallow? Juvenile? OK, I could live with that.

I think it's gorgeous. I'd never spend the money to own one, but I think it's worth a trip to Vegas for a rental.

I get Diablo vibes there, I just can't see Countache.

Was beginning to think it was just me. It is much more Diablo like to me as well. I think from the front and above this is the best Lamborghini since the Diablo.
That backend though I am just not digging.

They also should have gone back to their roots and put a manual with a gated shifter in it!

I believe I have seen my neighbor pull a couple grocery bags out of his.
It is nice having a neighbor that actually drives his Lamborghini and built a one off custom exhaust living next door.
The thing sounds amazing and is always a treat to hear it fired up and driven down the street. My boys get so excited every time and run to the window. If they are outside the flip out and run down the sidewalk as he drives off.
He often gives them a nice high rev as they run along side and what a symphony it is.

Partially. A hybrid, I think.

“… Delivering 814 cv as maximum combined power (rounded at 800 in the name) from its aspirated powerplant (780 cv) and electric motor (34 cv) to its permanent four-wheel drive transmission…”

That would be nice, but try finding a manufacturer that makes a manual for a mid-engined car that can handle the high torque that the V12 and the hybrid can produce. There aren't any. It's why there's no manual in the new Corvette. GM would have had to make their own and that would have been cost prohibitive, and I don't think Lamborghini gets a majority of the cash that VW Group makes.

The C8 Z51 is all of 0.1 seconds slower 0-60, and it’s top speed is 4 mph slower. For about $2.4M less.

But I get the attraction of a Lamborghini.

I guess I buy lottery tickets again this week. So many things I’m buying when I win. Including one of these.

Absolutely!
I see that it has the same rear visibility as the original too…

Being too cost prohibitive for the Corvette I see but this is a car that will sell all they make sight unseen and have a waiting list that will never be extinguished, at no matter the cost they put on it.
On top of that these buyers want a shifter again. Look at the current market for the and prices the early 2000s cars with shifters are going for compared to their automatic counterparts.

Does not seem like much of a feat to me especially considering how crazy expensive these automatic transmissions and their parts are.
