DESIGN: PROFILE

The job of reimagining the Countach was always going to be complicated by the much larger proportions of the Aventador package used as a base for the new car. But while its overall shape isn’t quite the delicate wedge of the original, the key graphics on the flanks survive: the slatted intakes aft of the door glass, as per the 1971 concept, the large NACA ducts that arrived with the production cars, the angular wheelarches and an exaggerated take on the classic ‘telephone dial’ alloys.
