Lamborghini Opens “Future Is Our Legacy” Exhibition At Art Basel Miami

Lamborghini has officially opened its Art Basel Miami exhibition, which it is calling “Lamborghini Countach: Future Is Our Legacy.”

Set up at The Wolfsonian-FIU Museum, the display a collaboration between the automaker and the Consulate General of Italy. Its intention is to show how Lamborghini is cherishing its past as it forges into an electrified future.

With a black and gold 1986 Countach LP 5000 QV serving as its centerpiece, guests are invited to travel through the exhibition that tracks the history of the famed car while moving towards the present and completing the experience with imagery of the new Countach LPI 800-4.

The second electrified model, after the Sian, the new Countach LPI 800-4 is a part of Lamborghini’s “Direzione Cor Tauri,” which targets 50 percent lower CO2 emissions and a fully hybridized lineup by 2025, as well as its first fully electric vehicle in the second half of the ’20s.

“Bringing the past to the present, this exhibition demonstrates how Lamborghini has consistently pushed beyond what is possible and still does so today with an ambitious plan for electrification,” said CEO of Automobili Lamborghini Stephan Winkelmann. “With ground-breaking design and modern aesthetic being integral to Lamborghini’s DNA, Art Basel Miami is the perfect environment in which to illustrate this journey and we are privileged to exhibit within such a prestigious museum as The Wolfsonian-FIU.”

Designed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Lamborghini Countach, the new Countach LPI 800-4 was unveiled this summer and is based on the Sian. It is powered by a 769 hp V12 which is assisted by a 48-Volt electric motor that’s located inside the gearbox and adds an extra 34 hp, for a total combined output of 803 hp. Power is transmitted to all four wheels via a seven-speed automated manual transmission and, according to Lamborghini, the Countach LPI 800-4 will sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds, 200 km/h (125 mph) in 8.6 seconds, and a reach a top speed of 355 km/h (220 mph).

The “Lamborghini Countach: Future Is Our Legacy” exhibition and the Countach LP 500 QV will be on display until December 5, 2021.
