New Lamborghini Countach: Epic UK tour of an icon reborn

Compare with the original Countach designer: “Marcello Gandini would like to reaffirm that he had no part in this process, and as the author of the original 1971 design, I would like to make it clear that the renovation does not reflect his mind and his mind. Vision – a spirit of innovation and mold breaking, which in his opinion this Absolutely not in the new design.
