- 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Downdraft powered by the 5.2L V12 producing 455 bhp
A 25th birthday present from Lamborghini to the world, the final instalment in the Countach dynasty was launched in 1988 at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. In many ways, it represented the most usable and ergonomic of all Countach variants. Where the original LP400 ‘Periscopio’ existed in spite of its driver, the 25th Anniversary edition took its owner’s comfort into account with electric windows in place of the “keep-fit” originals, electrically adjustable seats, and an air conditioning system capable of matching the heat produced by the mid-mounted 5.2-litre V-12.
Despite being the final iteration of the Lamborghini Countach, the 25th Anniversary accounted for the lion’s share of production, with no fewer than 657 examples leaving Sant’Agata Bolognese between 1988 and 1990. Among them was this car, chassis 12637, an attractively specified Rosso Siviglia over Black leather with red piping example that was delivered to its first owner in Sweden back in October of 1990. Lamborghini Polo Storico has confirmed that our Countach was produced in early 1989, meaning that it is quite possibly one of the first ones built. Also the VIN gives us reason to believe that this is the case. She was imported by her second and current owner to Belgium in 1992 with 1310 kilometers driven, who has had her ever since. The invoice from 1992 is still present with the car. She has only driven 4960 kilometers since new, which can be backed up by her outstanding quality of her mechanicals, interior and exterior. Being a 2 owner car with such low mileage is truly unique and a rare opportunity which we are proud of to bring to market.
Finished in its original shade of Rosso Siviglia, she stands out amongst the crowd. This particular Countach is in excellent condition with a stunning exterior and a beautifully detailed engine bay. The engine bonnet still shows the Carbon Kevlar weaves through the stunning Rosso lacquer paint. Inside you will find an equally immaculate ‘Nero’ leather interior with red piping and red carpets. Very period correct for a Countach. Being a 25th Anniversary, she comes with electric seats, air conditioning, electric windows, etc. The car has also the correct 1989 Alpine 7385L radio installed in working condition and with the original Alpine manual.
Our 25th Anniversary is equipped with the 5167 cc V12 engine with the original 6 downdraft Webers producing 455 bhp. Attached to a 5 speed manual gearbox. This means that this Countach has a top speed of 295 kph and does 0-100 kph in 4.5 seconds. Our mechanics have given her a complete check and can confirm that she is in excellent condition. She is running her original set of spotless factory original O.Z. wheels and the correct Pirelli P-Zero Assimetrico front and rear tires. Even the original spare wheel is neatly tucked away in the front bonnet. She runs and drives like the day she left the factory. She comes with all of her original owners manual, factory service manual, etc.
The Lamborghini Countach is without doubt the most iconic automobile of the 80’s. It was a poster car for a generation. Those who lived through this decade memorize the cars incredible looks and performance. Original and well maintained models become increasingly difficult to find, exceptional examples are quickly being snatched up by collectors. This Countach is very well preserved and a wonderful opportunity. This is really one of the nicer examples on the market.
