Although it is not the car that put the Italian company on the map, the Countach was definitely the car to make Lamborghini a household name. All over the world, you can still find bedrooms and offices with posters or portraits of the Lamborghini Countach on the walls. The 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary edition is one of the most treasured versions of the iconic car among collectors and enthusiasts.
The 25th Anniversary Countach cars have some of the most extravagant styling to emerge on a designer sports car from the ‘80s. From the massive rear wing to stylish bodywork accents, the 25th Anniversary edition ensured the Countach would go out on top before Lamborghini began producing the Diablo.
At the heart of its performance is a very special engine for its era. Remember, the engine sits behind the driver and passenger in a Countach and this is an old-school rear-wheel-drive car. Although the handling properties of this car are unique compared to a traditional front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, the Countach provides more of a vintage exotic sports car experience. Once you get used to it, you will be very comfortable driving this car.
As for the aforementioned engine, it is a dual-overhead camshaft, 5.2L V12. It produces about 449 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission puts you in complete control of all 12 cylinders of Lamborghini magic. This is not a bull you want to mess with.
From its Kevlar panels and scissor doors to the masterfully redesigned body by Marcello Gandini, the 25th Anniversary Countach is a living legend. Recent service and maintenance has this bull ready to run.
If you have always wanted to add a 25th Anniversary Countach to your collection, you are in luck. This 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary edition is available for sale through Bring a Trailer. Lamborghini only made a total of 658 25th Anniversary Countach models during its three-year production run. This is one of them.
With only about 2,900 miles on the odometer, this Countach has plenty of smiles per mile left in it. It even has an Alpine CD stereo system so you can dust off your AC/DC Back in Black CD and put it to good use. The only thing left for you to do now is fire up that Lambo V12 engine and get ready to drive your dream car from now on.
