There’s a handful of cars that virtually all people can recognize, and the original Lamborghini Countach, which was manufactured from 1974 to 1990 is among them. Now, the Italian automobile manufacturer is bringing the ‘80s icon back as a hybrid.

The new version is called the Countach LPI 800-4, and it’s supposed to honor the 50th anniversary of the original release. LPI stands for Longitudinale Posteriore Ibrido, or Longitudinal Posterior Hybrid in English. The number 800 is the total output of the hybrid powertrain (804 brake horsepower to be precise), and the number 4 indicates that the car uses a permanent four-wheel drive transmission.

Just like the original Countach, the hybrid successor has a naturally aspirated V12 engine, but the engine is assisted by a 48 V electric motor powered by the same supercapacitor technology used in Lamborghini’s Sián. Because the car is made out of carbon fiber and weighs just 1,595 kilograms (3,516 pounds), it can produce a 0–100km/h time of 2.8 seconds, a 0–200km/h time of 8.6 seconds, and a top speed of 355km/h.

But performance isn’t what the original Countach is remembered for — the distinctive angular and geometric styling is.

“The first Countach has been present in our Centro Stile as a model for some years now,” said Lamborghini’s design boss Mitja Borkert. “Whenever I look at it, it gives me goosebumps, and it serves as the perfect reminder for me and the entire design team to design every future Lamborghini in a visionary and futuristic way.”

While the hybrid isn’t quite as angular as the original one (blame years of aerodynamic research), Lamborghini has successfully captured the essence of Countach and produced a car that every cyberpunk megacorp CEO would love to own.

But even if you’re actually are a CEO with over €2 million to spare, you can’t buy your own Countach LPI 800-4 because all 112 units (that’s how many Lamborghini is making) are sold out, and their owners will receive them in the first quarter of 2022.
