A meticulously preserved 1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole is now offered for sale, presenting collectors with a unique chance to own one of the Italian automaker’s most iconic supercars.
This Countach, one of roughly 610 produced between 1985 and 1988, was initially delivered to the U.S. market before arriving in Canada approximately 15 years ago. In June 2020, the car underwent an extensive repaint by Lamborghini Montreal, receiving its current vibrant Rosso Siviglia finish. The refurbishment included adopting European-style bumpers, accentuating its classic angular design by famed Bertone designer Marcello Gandini. The Countach is further distinguished by its dramatic V-shaped rear wing, pop-up headlights, and signature scissor doors.
Powering this Countach is Lamborghini’s legendary 5.2-liter quad-cam V12 engine, originally engineered by Giotto Bizzarrini, delivering 420 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque through Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. In 2024, the car received an engine-out service, featuring a comprehensive overhaul of its ignition system, replacement of spark plugs, rebuilt distributor, new fuel injectors, water pump rebuild, and new rear engine mounts. Additionally, the clutch assembly and slave cylinder were replaced.
Complementing its mechanical excellence are gold-painted 15-inch Ruote OZ wheels shod in wide Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico tires. The fully independent suspension and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes ensure the car’s performance matches its aggressive appearance.
Inside, the Countach’s cockpit showcases Champagne leather upholstery on fixed-back bucket seats, door panels, and console. Interior features include a Raid steering wheel, gated five-speed manual shifter, an Alpine cassette stereo, Veglia clock, and manual windows.
With approximately 13,000 kilometers (8,000 miles) showing, this Lamborghini is being offered with partial service records, original manuals, tool kit, and Connecticut antique registration. The vehicle is presented without a title, as Connecticut does not issue titles for classic cars of this age.
