Yeah they should have gone crazy with it, instead it's just an Aventador with a few Countach details stuck on. The back is nice but it doesn't blow you away.
Someone did do a photoshop where they were lower, and it removed any slight Countachness it had to start with.
It's designed by a german, Mitja Borkert so no surprise to see such a bland €2m car.
Maybe an italian designer would have done a lot better.
I am not even sure that those pictures are current ones. It rather seems that they were a first study for the Lamborghini Sián, which was built starting in 2019 and looks like a much better hommage to the Countach than the pictures above. Check it out:
In 2019 Borkert explained the design (in German):

Needs some small details like gills, z badges etc
Nice but a bit plain,lazy styling, much like the new countach. I prefer the older Z cars like this 350z.
What do you think my Fellow Car Stylists aficionados ?
Good:
Fantastic roof line (Katana blade) and Z-badge
Sharply sculpted shark-nose
Rear "hips"
Blue colour
Headlights
Not so sure:
Uninspired boxy grill shape
Tail lights very 90ies, better suited for an American car
I’d always like a touch more class from them: I look at the BMW Zs and just feel they have a touch more quality: that interior looks a bit ugly to me. And why are the boots always so shallow in these?
Right Amigo 👍

Sorry it's in German. A French guy cut off his Citroen Xantia's roof, added an Audi logo up front and a BMW one at the end (not pictured) and took off with his new convertible.

The speed limit where i live is 40-50 kmh mostly.......... :((
Speed and red light camera's are plentiful. 8-}
What's it like where you guys live ?
but I do have the feeling they're there to make money rather that keep drivers
safe.
Here in Melbourne most roads used to be 60 kph for decades, now they are 50 kph or 40 kph, and at school zones between 7.30-9.00 am and 2.30 -4 pm they are 40 kph.
It's so tricky that you have to keep looking around for speed limit signs and your speedo when driving into other suburbs..... :-O
