Poster art series with five artistic perspectives on the new hybrid-electric interpretation of the Lamborghini Countach from the 70ies

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Lamborghini Countach (1971), the new interpretation of the car, the hybrid-electric Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 was presented this summer. Countach is a word from the Italian dialect spoken in the Piedmont and means as much as 'Wow' (story behind the word). The production of the already sold limited edition of 112 cars will happen next year in 2022.

Available at the Lamborghini shop are five posters by artists who set the car into fantastic sceneries where future merges with history and into graphical studies developed from the esthetics of the Countach. The latest artwork of the Lamborghini Countach poster series is the one by Italian multidisciplinary artist LRNZ (Lorenzo Ceccotti) who created a visual dialogue with the form of the car and set it in relation to the font 'Eurostile Extended 2 Bold' designed in 1962 by Aldo Novarese. The typeface is strongly associated with sci-fi media content and was for example used for the movie '2001: A Space Odyssey'.
