So many of us dream of owning a supercar one day, and if we had a penny for each time somebody told us that these machines don't grow on trees, we'd probably be able to afford one. While that sort of fundraising is obviously not happening, we can at least enjoy the next best thing, namely a piece of digital art that will forever silence those dream crushers.
In fact, as Khyzyl Saleem, the digital artist behind this rendering explains on Instagram, the Countach we have here isn't hanging from the tree, but floating in mid-air. Heck, to us, it looks like the V12 icon, which appears to ride on modern Pirelli rubber, had been abandoned in the woods and was picked up by a giant invisible hand for these images; but we digress.
It didn't take long before an enthusiast took to the comments section of the post showcasing the work to drop the obvious question about the suspension. In his typical fashion, the pixel master delivered a quick reply, which hints at another version of the rendering, which will probably remain locked inside his computer over in London: "[The wheels] would [be hanging], but I didn't like how they look. So, toy car time!"
We must also mention Horacio Pagani's name since this is the 1988-released 25th Anniversary Countach, so you can thank the Italian for the mid-engined machine's added aero drama. Those were the days when such a special piece of engineering could make do with 455 PS (449 hp), a figure you can almost get in hot hatches nowadays.
Now, if this sort of work happens to float yourboat Raging Bull, we'll remind you that Saleem, whose design efforts you can see on actual vehicles, came up with a somewhat similar rendering last fall.
The visual adventure, which you'll find in the second Insta post below, portrays a BMW M1 that's apparently lighter than air (the German machine was supposed to be built by Lamborghini back in the late 70s, remember?), all while being inspired by the work of Scottish artist Chris Labrooy, whose pixels are currently displayed on the Lamborghini website to honor the Diablo.
Oh, and if the background of this Countach rendering seems familiar, it's probably because we're talking about a place we've nicknamed Pixel Forest after seeing a Bugatti EB110 being digitally abandoned over there.
