Well... we will probably never see this on the roads, but someone has a good idea. This is a concept of a modern design Countach running on electricity (EV). Personally... I LIKE!

Amazing work. Put a V12 in it and ditch the EV crap and they have something! The Countach was WAY ahead of it's time (IMO)... I still think it looks good today.

I had a link in the original post, but I think the moderators deleted it because the info was on another forum, which I thought was just a website. I'll copy / paste the details below copied from "lambocars" website.

"legendary Raging Bulls ever made, the Countach.

Take into account that the original Countach as it was designed by Marcello Gandini had inspired many designers all over the world, so if you start working on a tribute you must remain true to the 'old' model but still be able to drag it into the 21st century, remember the last Countach came of the assembly line in Sant'Agata nearly 20 years ago ... and it received a prominent place in the factory museum.

So how did Flavio go about creating his new Countach Concept car ? He decided to keep the overall look of the legendary Countach but still change the details.

Hence the general appearance like those trademark doors, the front spoiler, the rear wing and the wheel arch extensions remained on his new design. Flavio did go for totally different headlight as pop-up lights are a bit out of fashion these days, but those split side windows are still there.

However Flavia introduced a very nice twist into the Countach Concept EV design ... he went for an electric car. That's right, this next generation Countach doesn't have a V12 engine, it has been replaced with three small electric engines, one for each wheel at the front and a large one for the rear wheels, coupled to a set of batteries these propel the car to very high speeds.

Also note that the front houses wind turbine generators that actually charge the batteries while driving, and additionally the engine cover contains solar energy panels to power the batteries while driving and while being parked.

So it is safe to say the Countach Concept EV is a classic car but with a very modern and ecological twist, it's not a Hybrid, it is a pure electric car, perhaps there is a future for cars like this once the bulk of the batteries required can be reduced and the charging can be accelerated ... I for one wouldn't mind seeing this car in real life."
