Details

This 1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV is one of approximately 610 examples produced. It is finished in red over black leather and is powered by a fuel-injected 5.2-liter quad-cam V12 engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. This Countach is equipped with a limited-slip differential, servo-assisted ventilated disc brakes, rack & pinion steering and independent suspension with quad rear coilovers. It was ordered new from Claudio's Italia Sports Cars in Sherman Oaks, CA, with an optional V-shaped rear wing and has been fitted with a European-style front bumper (in place of the U.S.-market rubber impact bumper). The U.S.-market lighting has been retained, as have two rubber bumpers at the center of the rear panel. Braking is addressed by servo-assisted ventilated discs at each corner. The interior is trimmed in black leather covering the fixed-back seats, door panels, console, sills and dash. Charcoal carpeting is covered by black floor mats accented by red 'snorting bull' logos. Interior features include a gated shifter, power locks, electronic climate control and an Alpine cassette stereo. The air-conditioning system was recharged in December 2019, with the dryer bottle replaced at that time. The leather-wrapped Raid steering wheel frames a 320-km/h speedometer, a tachometer with a 7,500-rpm redline and gauges monitoring voltage, oil temperature, oil pressure, coolant temperature and fuel level. This Lamborghini rides on 15-inch OZ alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico tires (225/50ZR15 up front and 345/35ZR15 at the rear), with 2017 date codes shown all around. A compact spare secured in the front compartment is mounted with Michelin rubber. This Lamborghini comes with the original purchase documents, invoices since new, owner's manuals, a tool kit and a clean CARFAX report.
