Resurrected a year ago, the Lamborghini Countach has made its way into gaming culture. With a limited production run of only 112 units, the chances of actually driving one are pretty slim.
The revamped Lamborghini Countach was equipped with a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine. The super cool hypercar could pump out a whopping 803 hp and features a 48-volt supercapacitor technology.
The electric powertrain can launch the Lamborghini Countach to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and 124 mph in only 8.6 seconds. And did we mention it can hit 221 mph?
While it may not be the same as actually whipping one of these bad boys around the track, driving one virtually may be the next best thing.
A bit about “Asphalt 9: Legends”
Brought to you by the creators of the Asphalt 8: Airborn racing video game, Asphalt 9: Legends has 4.4 stars on Google Play and over 50 million downloads.
The game allows players to take the wheel of high-end legendary cars into their own hands. You can boost, drive and perform various stunts in real-life locations.
Asphalt 9 explores a world of unlimited speed across 185 tracks and 13 real-world locations. Players dodge Himilayan landslides and whip around tornados in the American wilderness.
You can even modify your hand-picked speed machine by adding carbon parts, choosing the color of your brake calipers, and upgrading its stats.
If you want to drive more like a pro racer, the sharp manual controls will give you a gravity-defying thrill. But if you’d rather focus on the fun, the TouchDrive control scene makes for a streamlined casual drive.
Asphalt 9 offers over 900 solo career events and live 8-player races with awesome rewards. Players can also create a Club, built its prestige, and unlock milestone awards in the process.
Asphalt 9 partners with Lamborghini’s Countach
If you’ve got the latest Asphalt 9: Legends, you’ll have a chance to shred some rubber with the Lamborghini Countach LP1 800-4.
According to Lamborghini’s marketing director, Christian Mastro, players will be given a unique, interactive experience to discover the hybrid supercar.
The game’s publisher, Gameloft, also created a Countach-dedicated competition.
Featuring two elimination rounds, the first opportunity to set the best lap time in a new single-game mode ran from August 1st to August 7th. The next qualifying season dates will extend from August 22nd to 28th.
The Grand Finals will feature double-elimination races on September 14th. The winners will race in the iOS Final, which will be streamed on all of Lamborghini’s social media channels.
Other models featured in the game include the Huracán EVO Spyder, Essenza SCV12, and the Terzo Millennio.
The iconic wedge shape car is expected to appear in other titles down the line.
