The hybrid was joined by the first 1974 Countach LP400 and the final 1988 Countach 25th Anniversary.
The commemorative edition is known officially as the Countach LPI 800-4, and you can actually deduce a lot from that moniker. “LP” references the power plant’s Longitudinale Posteriore orientation; in other words, the mill sits parallel with the length of the car and near the rear. The “I” stands for, which means hybrid in Italian. The “800” relates to the car’s expected output of 800 hp, while “4” points to the four-wheel-drive configuration.
Featuring a monocoque chassis and carbon-fiber body panels, the hybrid is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 that’s good for 780 hp and a 48 v electric motor on the gearbox that can produce an additional 34 hp. It’s also fitted with a seven-speed ISR transmission and a supercapacitor that provides three times more power than a lithium-ion battery of equal weight. With a total output of 814 horses, the 3,516-pound car can reach zero to 62 mph in 2.
