While traditionalists may not like the idea of Lamborghini reviving the famed Countach name with a limited-run model based on the Sian, there’s no denying that the exterior design of the car is eye-catching. But is that enough for such a storied nameplate?
In designing the 2022 Countach LPI 800-4, Lamborghini (much to our surprise) didn’t go all out in replicating later Countach models such as the LP5000 QV and 25th Anniversary Edition and instead looked to the playbook of the original LP4000. That means the Countach LPI 800-4 lacks a rear wing.

Curious about how the new car would look with design elements inspired by later Countach models, YouTuber TheSketchMonkey got to work with tweaking its design and making it all the more eye-catching.
In recreating this modern-day Countach, some minor tweaks were made to the front fascia. Most notably, the headlights were shifted down in a move that, to our eyes, radically improves the design of the car. The designer then equipped the supercar with classic phone dial wheels that act as the perfect throwback to the glory years of the Countach.
Elsewhere, the car’s side skirts have been modified with some new vents and, most importantly, a fixed rear wing has also been fitted. While these alterations may not seem all that significant, they drastically alter the design of the car and bring it somewhat closer to the original.
Is this how the Countach LPI 800-4 should have looked all along? Let us know in the comments below.
