I figure we'll get a smattering of posts about the happenings this year. Wish I could make it back out, but not in the cards.

Anyone going to be doing any drives or heading to for Car Week this year? If Sunset GT was an indication of activity, this year will be absolutely BONKERS, even with reduced manufacturer presence.

The Petersen Automotive Museum YouTube channel is going to once again have some incredible content for Monetery Car Week. Last year they really came through with the pandemic and made some awesome garage tours and event video. I'm really excited to see what they have in store this year.  

Here is a copy of the email they sent out:

Are they revealing it at Quail? Did we establish that? 

Yes, and they should have stuck with it being a concept, like the Miura from years ago... But no resurrecting Countach name for a limited production car that only shares design elements with the original. 

 

Key specs that I know of:

Sian based, hybrid. LPI designated. (yes, they are now doing cars from already limited edition cars.) 

800 hp combined 

AWD

Price is north of $3 million.

Ps:

There is also a cool Countach cruise organized from August 10th to 14th or 15th by Lamborghini in California. Apperantly the cruise is limited to 30 cars, but there will be some other Lamborghini models following those 30 Countaches.

There is the Countach Rally by WeAreCurated and Luxury Rally Club. Same one? This one looks pretty sweet.

Yeah, I don't hate this. Quite nice at first blush.

The only thing I'd change is the taillights. I don't like that it's blatantly a Sian component.

3m for that?

 

lmao

It's supposed to be a cash cow. With nod to the past, as most have been. I'd be VERY curious to know the profit margin on this one. No doubt astronomical. 

Personally, I'd rather one of the original ones in back. But it's sharp looking so far. Can't wait to see more!

Just unveiled in California, in a special shade of white ... but how would she look in other shades:

Verde Medio with Terra Emilia interior:

Or in a correct Giallo Countach shade on a black interior:

The classic red on tan:

03 countach lpi800-4 Rosso Mars.jpg

Intimidating black on white:

04 countach lpi800-4 Nero Pegaso.jpg

Or just a nice blue with that red interior:

05 countach lpi800-4 Blu Nethuns.jpg

Anything is possible ...

How about a full, clear carbon fiber body?

Or perhaps a gradient paint like we've seen on some Sián?

But a classic Grigio Telesto looks great too:
