2021 Lamborghini-Countach
In 1971, the Lamborghini Countach designated as LP500 was shown to the public at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show. Subsequently, the Lamborghini engineering team spent three years refining this radical prototype into the production-ready LP400 Countach, which debuted in 1974. The Lamborghini Countach model production was stopped in 1991. The Countach was styled by Marcello Gandini of the Bertone design studio.
And now, the second generation limited edition Countach, the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 was launched in 2021.
A series of new Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 posters are completed, with the fifth and final in the collection revealed last week. The five posters feature the limited edition super sports car, of which all 112 are already sold, presented at Pebble Beach in August 2021 as a tribute to the original Countach’s 50th anniversary.
The futuristic limited edition Countach LPI 800-4 continues to be a source of inspiration, reflecting its predecessor’s non-conformist iconic status that defined a new horizon for automotive design. The image of the original Countach powerfully denoted the passion of the most refined car connoisseurs, as well as the teenagers of a generation who chose a Countach poster for their walls.
The love for the Countach’s timeless lines reinterpreted in this poster collection emphasizes how image alone can stimulate creativity. The five posters by Automobili Lamborghini each bear the signature of artists and illustrators specializing in 3D and digital works, feeding the Countach myth and confirming the immortality of the icon, and available at the Lamborghini Store.
The contributing designers, from around the world, each bring a particular dimension and interpretation of the Countach LPI 800-4 as a future icon.
