The Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 has hit the public road for the first time following its reveal at the Monterey Car Week festival in California last year.

Much like the original Countach, this renewed version uses a V12 engine – but this modern interpretation’s 6.5-litre powerplant comes from the brand’s latest Sian model and produces 769bhp. However, the fitment of a 34bhp 48-volt electric motor within the seven-speed automatic gearbox means power is upped to 803bhp, making the Countach one of Lamborghini’s most powerful cars.
