50 Tahun Sudah Berlalu Dan Countach Masih Ada Pengaruh Yang Kuat Untuk Lamborghini

Perhati dengan teliti dan anda akan melihat Countach pada Lamborghini hari ini.

Jika anda betul betul kaki kereta, anda pasti ada poster Lamborghini Countach tergantung di dinding bilik tidur anda dulu. 50 tahun selepas debut prototaip berwarna kuning di Geneva Motor Show, ‘permata’ ini terus hidup menerusi supercar Lamborghini semasa.

Ya, betul. Lamborghini telah mendedahkan bahawa Countach adalah sumber inspirasi, paling tidak dari segi estetika, untuk kenderaan masa kini. Ini termasuk Aventador, Huracan, Sian dan juga SUV super Urus.

Seseorang mungkin perlu melihat lebih dekat untuk mendapatkan gambaran yang lebih jelas tetapi jenama itu mengatakan bahawa garis pepenjuru pada hud dan penutup enjin, ruang penumpang serta cermin penghadang angin depan Countach yang agresif mempengaruhi banyak kereta yang keluar dari kilang Sant’Agata selepas itu.

Jadi apa yang seterusnya untuk Lamborghini? Kami sudah tahu bahawa mereka telah memulakan elektrifikasi dan akan memperkenalkan kenderaan elektrik bateri pertama mereka pada tahun 2025. Tetapi persoalannya adakah Countach akan terus memainkan peranan dalam bagaimana Lamborghini mereka bentuk kereta mereka?

PRESS RELEASE

The distinctively contemporary lines of the Lamborghini Countach, a legendary model celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, shaped the design of all subsequent Lamborghinis even up to today’s models, including the Aventador, Huracán, Sián, as well as the Urus.

“There are works of art that always remain relevant, and the form of the Countach is one of them.” These are the words that Mitja Borkert, Head of Design at Lamborghini, uses to describe the style of this automotive icon. “Its design,” adds Borkert, “is comprised of perfect proportions, characterized by a very pure and essential approach. Its distinctive feature is the single longitudinal line that visually connects the front and rear parts. From a stylistic point of view, it’s a perfect inspiration because, even when the rest is modified, the line is an element of visual continuity between past and present. It’s the epitome of the DNA in all Lamborghini design, the tradition of the stylistic language from the origins to the present day.”

Low and wide, the front view of the Countach is characterized by diagonal lines on the hood, which are also repeated on the engine compartment, making it immediately recognizable even from a distance. The shape of the passenger compartment, low and squared, combined with the typical slope of the windscreen, influenced the design of the various models that have followed the Countach. It is precisely these shapes that have remained unchanged over the years, along with the particular and characteristic cut of the side windows, which make a Lamborghini easily identifiable at first glance.

The Countach introduced a futuristic style ahead of its time during the 1970s, an era of explosive creativity and one of the most significant moments for design. These were years of important social achievements, which are reflected in significant changes that would inspire designers and creatives around the world. The space race; the advent of high tech with the development of modern computers; the trends in fashion linked to geometric patterns, extravagant choices and the explosion of bright colors; the advent of individualism and the Jet Age; are all elements that influenced the stylistic choices of the Countach’s designer, Marcello Gandini. The Countach is also due to the vision of Ferruccio Lamborghini, who believed right from the start in the revolutionary project, that today is still influencing the style of future Lamborghini models.
