A legendary name in supercar history returns in the form of the retro-inspired, limited-edition 2022 Lamborghini Countach. While it's essentially a re-bodied Aventador with the heart and soul of a Sián, the Italian automaker did an incredible job recreating the original's iconic design for modern audiences. The reinvented wedge lacks the original's pop-up headlights and the massive rear wing that adorned it in its twilight years, but the trademark hexagonal wheel arches and scissor doors are both present. Unlike the old Countach, the new one features a small electric motor powered by a supercapacitor that teams with a mighty mid-mounted V-12 to generate a combined 802 horsepower. Lamborghini claims this powertrain will help it achieve zero-to-62 mph in 2.8 seconds and a 221-mph top speed. Before anyone texts their Swiss banker about a seven-figure wire transfer, all 112 copies of the 2022 Countach have already been spoken for.

Lamborghini resurrects the Countach name and likeness for the 2022 model year and the 2022 model year only. While it's a homologation of the brand's other hypercars, it's a surprisingly faithful recreation of the original. It'll also be sold in very limited quantities, much like the wildly styled Sian.
