Lamborghini Unveils Another Ugly Limited Edition Model

Lamborghini made the Countach for posters. It was striking. It was rare. It was exotic. It was the kind of thing that should only exist in fantasy, and it’s why it belonged on so many bedroom walls. The same is true of the Diablo in the 1990s and the Murcielago in the early 2000s. But in the current era, it’s hard to imagine any Lamborghini on a child’s wall. The problem isn’t just that the cars are less exciting, nor that they’re more common, but it’s that the specialness of a car comes from its place in culture. The Countach was like nothing else; however, as Lamborghini continues to release limited-edition, multi-million-dollar cars that are essentially reskinned versions of their standard models, they have lost all their excitement.
