This is a beautiful 1987 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 Quattrovalvole! This example is finished in a gorgeous shade of red known as Seville Red over Senape leather upholstery, and features a number of desirable options such as 15” OZ Racing wheels, air conditioning, a gated shifter, and an Alpine cassette stereo. Chassis HLA12126, shown here, is said to have first been registered in Ontario, Canada, later being imported to the United States in September of 1989. For this variant, the engine was made even larger, now featuring a 5,167 cc (5.2 L) and 4 valves per cylinder, hence the name quattro valvole in Italian. Some of the later examples of the 5000 QV, like this car, were built with a Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system. The Fuel injected Giotto Bizzarrini-designed 5.2L quad-cam engine was rated at 309 kW (420 PS; 414 hp), and only 66 total examples are believed to have been developed in with that engine. The Countach was originally styled by famous Italian car design for italian automobile company, Gruppo Bertone, Marcello Gandini, who also is responsible for the design of the Miura and the Diablo, and is considered to be one of the most significant automotive designers of all time. Since the introduction of the model, numerous variants were developed including the LP400, LP400 S (series 1, 2 and 3), LP5000S, this model, the LP5000 QV, and the final iteration, the 25th Anniversario Edition (not including prototypes and special editions). Other easily appreciable options on this example include a quad-exit exhaust, a black rear bumper, a V-shaped rear wing, Carello taillight lenses and fog lights, and much more.
How many made? 1 of approximately 66 total examples produced for the world from the factory with Bosch K-jetronic fuel injection, and 1 of around 610 total examples developed for the entire world within this particular variant of the Countach.
