For a Lamborghini enthusiast, seeing a Countach in white is akin to falling in love for the first time. Seeing a 1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV in white is like falling for an angel.
Lamborghini only built a total of 610 Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole examples from 1985 to 1988. On top of that, Lamborghini only built a total of 170 Countach models categorized as “1988.5” examples featuring factory side skirts with electronic climate control. This is one of them.
Thanks to Bring a Trailer, this iconic beauty could be yours. Perhaps the best part about it is the white exterior finished over a matching white leather interior. Talk about “Nights in White Satin”.
The real treat is firing up the 5.2L V12 engine featuring a quadruple camshaft design. This is what gives the Countach such a nasty growl at wide open throttle, you can actually hear the depth through the exhaust tone.
From there, simply reaching for the shifter puts you nanoseconds away from taking complete control of this Lambo V12 icon through a 5-speed manual transmission. If that doesn’t send chills down your spine, closing the scissor-styled Countach doors will.
This Countach 5000 features the desirable Haltech elite engine management tuning as well as gorgeous, body-colored 15-inch OZ Racing wheels. Don’t forget the 5000 QV variant of the Countach features Kevlar front and rear deck lids.
Most enthusiasts agree the Countach looks incredible with the late ‘80s style wing featured on this particular example. However, very few Countach cars ever feature the matching front spoiler you see on this one. It is a removable front spoiler in case you are trying to make up your mind about it.
With approximately 45,000 kilometers or around 28,000 miles on the odometer, this Countach QV is barely housebroken. Besides, with looks like that, it will always have a wild side. The rest of the story is up to you to write from here. Having 400-plus horsepower at your disposal should take care of any writer’s block you may experience.
