In celebration of the company’s 25th anniversary, Lamborghini released a further updated and slightly restyled version of its celebrated Countach. It was unveiled at the 1988 Italian Grand Prix at Monza and would become, to many, the most desirable iteration of the car. With almost 500 subtle changes over its predecessor, the 5000 QV, the new Countach retained the same striking visual panache and incredible performance that Lamborghini’s customers had come to love.
Showing less than 21,000 actual kilometers from new, this is one of approximately 650 examples produced; finished in Red with a tan leather interior. Benefitting from a recent repaint the car is in exceptional condition with a fresh and documented engine and clutch service that was executed in April and May of 2014. With just under 1,400 kilometers since, it remains in outstanding shape mechanically and cosmetically. Equipped with the iconic fuel-injected V-12 engine, it is mated to a five-speed manual transmission and produces 420-hp. It also comes equipped with air conditioning, Alpine radio; power windows, seats and disc brakes at all four corners. Easily the most advanced Countach ever offered, it is widely regarded as the best road-going Countach in terms of handling and reliability as well. It has been very well maintained and is offered with a clean Carfax, plus it is accompanied by books, tools and spare.
The 25th Anniversary edition was perhaps the most memorable and widely recognized Countach, and it is fondly remembered by enthusiasts for not only its signature style but also the welcome updates that it brought to the 15-year-old Countach platform.
