Lamborghini introduced the latest update to the Countach at the 1985 Geneva Motor Show. It came with an increased engine displacement which rose to nearly 5.2-liters, while each of the 12 cylinders was given four-valve induction. With this new configuration, it was given the model designation Quattrovalvole, or QV. The vehicles destined for the U.S. market were equipped with Bosch fuel injection. With the modifications to the engine, horsepower was rated at 420 HP. Approximately 610 examples of the 5000 QV were built before they were replaced by the 25th Anniversary Edition Countach in 1988.
The Lamborghini 5000 QV had angular scoops and boxy intakes.
This particular 5000 QV is a mid-production car that was in the care of its original owner for the majority of its existence, from 1987 to 2014. It is believed to have been purchased new in Canada by Mr. M. Glenn who relocated this US-specification Countach to Florida in 1996.
The new owner had the American-specification rubber bumpers removed in favor of European-style bumpers. This 5000 QV is one of the rare examples without a rear spoiler wing. It is also finished in a rare color of Pearl White over Ivory leather.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2015
