A rare 1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole with only 3,300 km on the odometer has been discovered in the United States. The supercar spent almost its entire life with its first owner and has been preserved in a collection since its sale in 1987. The car has been put up for sale on an auction platform. This is reported by Bring a Trailer.
This example is one of approximately 610 5000 QV version cars produced between 1985 and 1988. The car was sold new through the Il Cavallino dealer in New York and has seen practically no use since. The odometer currently shows 3,300 km, with about 80 km of those added during the most recent ownership.
The Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV Has Been Preserved in Original Condition
The supercar is painted in Nero Tenebre black and features a black leather interior. The body is equipped with pop-up headlights, scissor doors, and a V-shaped rear spoiler. The model is built on a tubular steel frame with aluminum panels, and the front and rear hoods are made of Kevlar.
The car sits on 15-inch OZ wheels with Pirelli P7 tires, has independent suspension, and ventilated disc brakes on all wheels. The brake fluid was replaced prior to the sale.
The Lamborghini Countach Time Capsule is Powered by a 420 HP V12
Under the hood is a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V12 with four valves per cylinder and Bosch fuel injection. The engine produces 420 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. The power unit is paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
Along with the car, the buyer is offered the original manufacturer’s documentation, a tool kit, and a clean New York State registration title.
