Fortunate 2022 Lamborghini Countach proprietors who acquired the retro-futuristic supercar with a legendary title for over $2 million the previous year will soon receive an additional benefit: a complimentary cup of coffee, a cozy seat, and possibly a couple of pastries.
This is because nine Countach editions sold in the U.S. are subject to a recall due to a defective rear glass that covers its engine, which may become unfastened because of inappropriate adhesive or bonding agents. We attempted to contact Lamborghini to ascertain if the nine editions recalled in the U.S. represent all the editions sold in the U.S., but as of now, we have not received a response.
The extremely limited and highly-priced Countach was crafted this year in a diminutive quantity; merely 112 were manufactured. Every one of those editions was swiftly purchased, and distribution of the new vehicle commenced earlier this year.
Constructed on the foundation of the Sian, the Countach boasts a V12 powertrain and hybrid system producing 800 horsepower, catapulting it to 60 mph from a standstill in under three seconds. Evidently, it shares its name with the renowned sports vehicle from the ’80s that significantly contributed to Lamborghini’s renown. Possessors of those classic cars, now aged 40 or older, will probably inform you that glass detachment from an aged Countach is not an unexpected occurrence for those vehicles either—assuming you can maneuver yourself out of the exceedingly uncomfortable cockpit to retrieve the glass in the first place.
Returning to the new Countach and its recalled rear glass engine cover; if you are one of the nine owners experiencing a very inconvenient, tragic, and unjust recall, let us have a conversation. Just between us. Agreed? Now that we are alone: I understand your situation, Lamborghini Countach owner, and it is evident that your car is malfunctioning. There is presently no recourse, nor is there anyone at fault. The prudent course of action is to minimize your losses now and hand over your vehicle to someone willing to endure an Italian V12 supercar with its ceaseless, unjust, and ultimately illogical recalls. No particular individuals come to mind immediately, hence I am inclined to assume possession of your vehicle until an alternative solution arises. You are most welcome.
