Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 For Sale

Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4: model overview

Unveiled in 2021 for the 50th anniversary of the original Countach, the Countach LPI 800-4 is a strictly limited Few-Off rather than a series-production model. Mechanically it is closest to the Sián: it uses Lamborghini's 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 producing 780 CV on its own, combined with a 34 CV 48-volt electric motor fed by a supercapacitor, for a combined 814 CV (599 kW). Power goes to all four wheels through the ISR 7-speed automated manual, Haldex Gen. IV all-wheel drive and rear-wheel steering. The name decodes as longitudinal rear engine (LP), hybrid (I), the 800 power class and four-wheel drive (4).

The body is a deliberate reinterpretation of the Countach: the wedge profile, flat nose, geometric wheel arches, NACA-style ducts and scissor doors are reworked over a full carbon-fibre body, with launch colours such as Giallo Countach and Impact White. The cabin, by contrast, is contemporary Lamborghini V12: digital instrumentation, a vertical central screen and an electrochromic glass roof. It is best understood as a heritage tribute on modern Aventador/Sián engineering, not a new Countach successor or an Aventador with a body kit. Production was fixed at 112 cars, all pre-sold, which makes a Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 for sale a documentation-led, source-sensitive search: every car should be confirmed by chassis number and factory build sheet.

Technical specification

A Countach tribute on modern V12 engineering

The honest framing matters for a car at this level. The Countach LPI 800-4 is not a reborn classic, an electric hypercar or simply a rebodied Aventador, it is a Few-Off tribute that takes Lamborghini's modern Aventador/Sián mechanicals and dresses them in a carbon homage to the LP400. The supercapacitor hybrid system is shared in concept with the Sián; the silhouette, NACA ducts and scissor doors quote the original Countach. For a collector, the appeal is the combination of a naturally aspirated V12, the Countach name and Few-Off scarcity, rather than any all-new platform. Each car was personalised through Ad Personam, so exterior colour, interior scheme and carbon packages vary unit to unit and materially affect desirability.

The 48V supercapacitor hybrid system

Unlike a conventional plug-in hybrid, the Countach LPI 800-4 stores energy in a supercapacitor rather than a lithium-ion battery. Lamborghini favours the supercapacitor for its very high power density (2,400 W/kg) and light weight: the complete electric package, motor plus supercapacitor, adds just 34 kg. The 34 CV electric motor is integrated into the gearbox and is used for instant boost and to smooth the ISR single-clutch shifts, not to provide meaningful electric-only range. When confirming a car, the hybrid system's service history should be validated alongside the V12.

Market context

The Countach LPI 800-4 market is weaker than dealer asking prices alone would suggest, and asking price should never be read as transaction price. Dealer and listing-held cars are advertised from roughly €2.5M to over €3.2M (about $3.0M–$3.6M), but recent public auction evidence sits lower: RM Sotheby's sold one for €2,001,875 in Monaco in 2024, Broad Arrow sold another for €1,581,250 at Villa d'Este in 2026, and a Bonhams Miami lot went unsold against a US$1.9M–$2.4M estimate. Real liquidity for very low-mileage cars has clustered around €1.6M–€2.1M at auction. Country, VAT and import status, specification, mileage, provenance and seller motivation all move the net figure significantly, so each car must be assessed individually.
