Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4

The 112-car Sián-derived homage to the original — 814 CV / 803 hp of hybrid V12 in a modern Countach silhouette.

Car Collector International Editorial
Orange Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 in a bright studio, front three-quarter view showing the wedge silhouette with hidden headlights, black hexagonal air intakes, sharp shoulder line and black multi-spoke alloy wheels — the 2021 Sián-derived hybrid homage to the original Countach.
Overview

Why this car matters

The Countach LPI 800-4 is a Sián-derived Few-Off unveiled at Monterey in August 2021 and produced for 2021–2022. All 112 cars were sold within a week of unveiling; the 112 unit count references the original Countach's internal project name, LP 112.

The drivetrain is the Sián's supercapacitor-hybrid V12 package: a naturally-aspirated 6.5-litre V12 producing 780 CV combined with a 34 CV supercapacitor-fed electric motor for a total of 814 CV — which equates to 803 hp, not 814 hp. This is worth being clear about, because the '800' in the name is rounded down from the 803 hp figure, and English-language sources routinely misquote 814 CV as 814 hp.

The car is a distinct model from the classic Countach at /research/buyers-guides/lamborghini/countach — same name, 50 years apart, no shared platform, engine or bodywork.

The Countach LPI 800-4 is one of a very small number of modern Lamborghini Few-Offs that carry a historic model name — a category more or less limited to the Miura Concept (2006, one-off) and the Countach LPI 800-4 itself. Its 112-unit production references the original Countach's LP 112 project name; its drivetrain is directly Sián-derived (Lamborghini's first hybrid road car); and its market performance since 2022 has been a material bellwether for modern Few-Off V12 collectability. Buyers should be clear that it is a distinct model from the 1974–1990 Countach — no components are shared and the two cars sit in different collector categories.

Buyer's Guide

What to look for

Provenance — factory allocation and delivery status

Modern limited-series and Few-Off Lamborghinis are built to a fixed unit count against a factory allocation list. For the Countach LPI 800-4 specifically, verify that the drivetrain is presented and documented as Sián-derived supercapacitor-hybrid (not lithium-ion), that any body-shop work on the Aventador / Sián carbon monocoque has produced full factory sign-off, and that publicly-quoted power figures are consistently presented as 814 CV / 803 hp — 814 hp is a common misquote. Confirm chassis number, allocation, delivery documents, colour / trim / options and any programme-specific plaque directly against the Lamborghini factory build book before pricing.

Carbon monocoque and chassis integrity

The Lamborghini carbon monocoque (Aventador family on Countach LPI 800-4 and Fenomeno; new Temerario tub) is a structural component. Any repair must produce full factory sign-off; a monocoque repaired without factory documentation is priced against that history. Inspect body panels for evidence of prior accident repair using a paint-depth gauge and factory-authorised body-shop reports.

V12 or V8 hybrid drivetrain and factory calibration

Modern Lamborghini drivetrains — the L539 6.5 V12 with hybrid (Countach LPI 800-4, Fenomeno) or the new L411 4.0 twin-turbo hot-V V8 with three axial-flux motors (Temerario) — are factory-specific in calibration, cooling, exhaust routing and battery management. Cold-start behaviour, oil pressure, boost signature (Temerario), hybrid state-of-health warnings and factory service history are the primary purchase-time diagnostics.

Hybrid battery — state of health and warranty

The high-voltage battery is a lifed component; verify state-of-health, service documentation and remaining factory warranty against the Lamborghini service portal. A battery replacement is a factory-only exercise and its costed reserve must be reflected in price.

Factory-only servicing

All service and any drivetrain, hybrid-system or chassis work must go through Lamborghini Polo Storico or an authorised dealer. Independent supercar shops are not equipped for the bespoke carbon monocoques, hybrid drivetrains or Lamborghini-specific engine and battery management.

Parts and reconciliation

Body panels, drivetrain hardware and chassis components are factory-specific and produced in a single limited run. Insist on continuous factory service history and reconcile all work against the Lamborghini service portal.

Valuation

Current value bands by region

Each region quoted in its local currency — independent market readings, not FX conversions

The Countach LPI 800-4 has not held its original list. One example sold at $2,500,000 in September 2024, then failed to sell at a $2,200,000 high bid roughly 18 months later having covered under 60 additional miles. The market remains small and driven by continuous factory service history, popular colour and delivery-mileage examples; over-driven cars and non-factory-authorised repairs materially reset value. The car is regularly cross-referenced against the classic Countach in market commentary; the two are distinct collector categories and are not directly comparable on value.

Long-term outlook

Strong HoldHorizon: 5–10 years

112-unit production, Sián-derived hybrid V12, direct model-name reference to the original Countach and demonstrated first-cycle appreciation from MSRP together position the LPI 800-4 as a defensible long-term hold. Continuous factory service history, low delivery mileage and popular specification are the standing filters.
