The presentation of the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the recent events of Monterey Car Week. The new limited edition model of the Italian firm has been presented exclusively in coupe form, but we wonder if there is any possibility of seeing a convertible variant in the near future.
The new Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 has been a media bombshell of the Sant’Agata Bolognese firm, because despite the fact that during the past week numerous unique models and novelties gathered in Monterey, The presentation of the new Italian hybrid sports car was the one that undoubtedly monopolized the most covers during the past week.
The Lamborghini Countach is a new derivative of the Italian manufacturer’s 12-cylinder rangeWell, under its retro-looking bodywork is really the base and the mechanical organs of another sports car, in this case the Lamborghini FKP 37 Sián.
Its relationship with the Lamborghini FKP 37 Sián is what makes the new 21st century Lamborghini Countach a very outstanding model, as it inherits the peculiar hybrid system powered by supercapacitors that characterizes its range brother and allowing total combined power to reach 819 hp. Although this relationship could also allow the appearance of a previously unpublished variant of the saga of the legendary Italian sports car, which would be the first Countach convertible in history.
Countach Roadster
All the limited edition models that Lamborghini has launched in recent years have featured two body variants, coupe and convertible. Models such as the Lamborghini Veneno, the Lamborghini Centenario and the Lamborghini FKP 37 Sián itself featured open variants that were released shortly after the introduction of the coupe variant.
This means that Lamborghini has the option to launch an open-top variant of the Countach based on the Lamborghini FKP 37 Sián Roadster, making the dream of many collectors and fans come true, who in the more than 15 years of Countach production they never had the chance to see a production variant without a roof of the classic 12-cylinder sports car, except those made by aftermarket specialists. As a preview, we can already find on the net the usual speculative renderings that offer us a very close image of what a hypothetical Countach Roadster LPI 800-4 could provide, which would largely respect the appearance of the original model, although with the addition of lose the roof.
