In March of 1985, fourteen years after the introduction of the initial Countach, Lamborghini returned to the Geneva Auto Show to introduce the third iteration of the Countach, the QV, which was given its name after its four valve heads. The V-12 engine had grown to 6157 cubic centimeters and the compression ratio was increased to 9.5:1. Horsepower was rated at 420 for the fuel-injected models, increasing power by 45 brake horsepower over the outgoing LP5000S Countach. The exterior design remained largely unchanged, with the only alteration being to the rocker panels, where vents were added to extract air for the rear brakes.
This example was sold new in October 1987 by Lamborghini East, with an original MSRP of $135,850, including the factory-optional rear wing. It has its original paint and interior and has been driven just over 2,800 miles. The only major change to the car since new has been the installation of an improved Ansi exhaust system by Evans Automotive in 2002.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2015
