A new is officially set to debut at Pebble Beach on Sunday, but we may have gotten an early look at the machine that’s going to revive the . The leaked images shown here are from spy photog , who alleges they are official, but we won’t know for sure until takes off the car cover.

If this leaked redesign is vindicated at the official unveiling, it seems like the carmaker did a decent job updating the looks of the Countach while retaining the lines and overall feel of the classic supercar. From the profile, to the side slats and even the wheels, the heritage of the Countach is there.

My favorite call back on the Countach has to be the badging, though. The new supercar will possibly wear similar lettering down to the side-swept font, as if the name itself had to be italicized. This isn’t just a Countach you’re looking at. It’s a Countach.

The nameplate is kind of in a weird place, though, neither centered nor all the way to the side as you can see from the official Lamborghini has shared. It’s also bit strange because I can’t recall many cars that wear their model name on the front end.

Usually, it’s reserved for the marque and/or logo, but I’m liking it on the Lambo. It feels like filigree and I normally hate that, but it works! Maybe because there’s filigree elsewhere, like on the engine that reads V12 or the fuel door that reads Lamborghini in cursive lettering — just in case you needed a reminder that both the car and maker are historic.

That fuel door and engine read loud and clear; this is not a fully-electrified comeback. The new Countach is to be a hybrid instead. The name of the new supercar is reportedly what gives its hybrid drivetrain away, with LPI meaning Longitudinale Posteriore Ibrido, according to . The possible drivetrain setup in the Countach isn’t exactly new, as we’ve seen the same setup in the . Again, claims the new Countach will make about 789 horsepower and its hybrid horses will make it to all four wheels, in an AWD setup.

This is more or less in line with from rival supercar maker , which could indicate that are here for a while.

The Fiat Ritmo Was The Best-Looking Cheap Hatchback Of The Late 1970s. Fight Me
The mid-to-late 1970's, and into the 1980's, were the glory days of cheap, boxy hatchbacks from all over the world. While hatchbacks had existed before, you could argue that (Rabbit for us fried-donutburger consumers) really set the design template for this era, spawning many very similar-looking little useful cars....

Should We Get Our Hopes Up About This Nissan 370Z Test Mule At The Nürburgring?
The current Nissan 370Z came out when most of us were still probably using flip phones, and while it’s fun, I think we can all agree it’s long overdue for a replacement. That replacement has been , but always without anything concrete—and claims from Nissan that the company needs...

The De Tomaso P72 Will Have A Supercharged, 700-HP American Heart
You can’t talk about De Tomaso without talking about Ford and, specifically, American Ford V8s. The domineering De Tomaso Pantera had them, as did the lovely Mangusta before it. So it’s only appropriate the stunningly retro also follows suit with eight cylinders from Ford’s NASCAR partner. Back when we...
