A couple of days ago designer Hugo Silva posted this 3D render to his Facebook page, and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind since. Obviously no Countach ever looked like this, and the ones that did race weren’t very successful. I’ve never really had any love for the Countach, but this one looks damn good. Every supercar in the world needs huge flares and functional aero. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go dream about putting 996 RSR flares on my Boxster.

Looks interesting as an artistic exercise, but in reality it would just about need clearance lights! Countach’s are pretty wide, and already have 345 width tyres standard. While I’m at it the added length of the front splitter is not realistic either, and while reality is irrelevant I’m actually wondering how it would look from a different angle.
I think I’d actually prefer a Rocket Bunny/RWB/Liberty Walk style larger version of the later factory flares.
Am I the only one who struggles to tell his rendering from a filtered photo? Impressive!

The early ones aren’t bad, but when they started sticking winglets and bits and bobs all over it, I really hate those. Ugly.
Lamborghini hasn’t built a truly pretty car since the Espada.
The Espada was a truly ugly car. Countach always looked better then that eyesore

Trolling and then going to politics. I really miss *REDACTED*
We can disagree, I suppose.
To the guy that called me a troll, I’m seriously not trolling, I honestly believe the Espada to be a spectacular design. I’m not sure why my opinion offended you, but okay, I guess.
I’m wearing a Star Trek uniform in my avatar. Surely you understand that any incorrect opinion offends me. Deeply.
