Fifty years since its original unveiling, everybody’s favourite poster car is reborn. On Friday, August 12th, Lamborghini Montreal revealed the first two Countach LP1 800-4’s to land on Canadian soil. This invite-only event brought together clients, car spotters, and journalists, to watch as these sleek new models were delivered from Italy, transported to the dealership, and carefully removed from their crates. Only 112 units of the reinvented version were produced, making the Countach LPI 800-4 a model worth celebrating.
Lamborghini Montreal surprised the crowd by showing a red 1988 Countach LP5000 Quattrovalvole; this aesthetically daring design reinvented the boundaries of what a car should look like and laid the foundations of the Lamborghini legacy. Guests were able to compare both the past and the future models. On top of this iconic vehicle, other luxury cars were on display, including 3 Lamborghini Sians, an Aventador SVJ 63 Roadster, a Huracán STO, and the famous Veneno. Catering by the renowned Café Milano enhanced the afternoon’s atmosphere with fresh coffee, iced coffee, cannoli, and cookies.
Let’s talk specifics. The Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4, reinterprets the silhouette of the original model. The “Italian Wedge” makes a return, along with the sharp angles and scissor doors. The new Countach is a breathtaking tribute that brings performance to the highest level. Equipped with a 6.5 Litre 780CV V12 engine, as well as 48V electric motor mounted on the gearbox, this Lamborghini hybrid reaches an exceptional top speed of 355km/h. The Countach LPI 800-4 pays homage to a design that forever revolutionized the modern sportscar.
