Looks great. No breadloaves in the bumpers. Maybe a bevy of cameras could deal with those horrendous blindspots.
I am on the fence about this. Lamborghini never reuses names, and that they do so now, seems like a cash grab. If it were the final V12 lambo it would be more understandable, yet it is not. Then again perhaps that is being reserved for the Miura name. I was expecting a re skinned Aventador, and that is what it is, however it actually looks quite good.... That being said it looks more like a Diablo from the front, with those headlights. Also it seems a bit audacious to charge 2 Million euros + for a 9 year old platform.
I would have to be a really bored billionaire to buy that
Without the iconic gigantic Countach wing (and pop up headlights!), it really looks like a Diablo/Murci update

The original Countach didn't have the big wing or the fender flares.

The big wing and flares originally weren't even installed by Lamborghini. If you look at the original Marcello Gandini show car, the Countach was supposed to be a much cleaner looking car than the one that was on the posters in every teenage boy's bedroom in 1987.

Obvs, but the big wing flared Countach is what got put up on bedroom walls. Seems odd to revive the nameplate but not go full-bore

I absolutely love it. :wub:
I love retro design, but for some reason I always thought the original Countach was butt ugly hideous. It was cool, but ugly. The retro-designed new version looks fantastic.
Good first impressions, but hybrid/auto is the wrong kind of powertrain.
