The car's hybrid system is based on the one used for the Lamborghini Sian.

Lamborghini Countach History
The Lamborghini Countach made its debut in 1971 when its prototype was shown to the public for the first time. The sports car was designed by Marcello Gandini, manufactured by Italian carmaker Lamborghini, and made its official debut in 1974.
Lamborghini produced the Countach until 1990. By the time the production ceased for the luxury sports car, Lamborghini only produced less than 2,000 units of it.
Among the less than 2,000 Lamborghini Countachs available at that time, the 25th anniversary edition was deemed the fastest one of all.
