Just five years after captivating the attention and hearts of the automotive world with the breathtaking Miura, the firm once again tapped the late, legendary designer <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marcello_Gandini\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marcello Gandini<\/a> to redefine the nascent supercar segment, which he did with the angular Countach prototype displayed in Geneva in 1971. The shape, which has clearly inspired most supercar designs to come after it, remains as mesmerizing today as it did throughout its 16-year production run.<\/p>\n<p>As thrilling as the Countach&#8217;s design and now-iconic scissor doors may be, it is far from the only reason for the Bull&#8217;s hallowed status. It&#8217;s equally impressive performance, increasingly dramatic aerodynamic elements, and memorable appearances in television and film cemented it as the defining poster car of the 70s and 80s. Considerable ink has been spilled about the Countach&#8217;s impact, however, this treasured 1987 5000 QV model is a particularly noteworthy example worth expounding on in detail, having been cherished in devoted, single-family ownership for several decades, and kept in immaculately preserved, unmodified condition.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-108.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-884845\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-108.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-108.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-108-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-108-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-108-100x71.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-108-770x550.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-108-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-108-500x357.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-108-293x209.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-108-1400x1000.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole<\/h2>\n<p>Completed largely by hand at the famed Sant&#8217;Agata Bolognese Lamborghini Works during spring of 1987, this Countach 5000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1985%e2%86%921988-lamborghini-countach-lp5000-qv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quattrovalvole<\/a>, chassis number 12162, was destined for the U.S.-market, and finished exactly as it appears today, in the exceedingly rare exterior color of Giallo Fly (Fly Yellow) over a superbly contrasting dark chocolate brown leather interior. Built in the Quattrovalvole, or QV, Countach limited model run, it featured the increased engine capacity of 5.2-liter and four valves per cylinder, resulting in a staggering output of some 420-horsepower. As an earlier QV, it is affectionately referred to by enthusiasts as a \u201cround belly\u201d example, named for its absence of side skirts added on later cars and desirable as the last of the pure Countach as originally designed by Marcello Gandini. It is further distinguished as one of only approximately 66 QVs equipped with fuel injection offered for sale on the North American market, making it coveted for its exceptional rarity, improved reliability, and refined performance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-100.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-884849\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-100.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-100.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-100-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-100-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-100-100x71.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-100-770x550.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-100-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-100-500x357.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-100-293x209.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lamborghini-Countach-100-1400x1000.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The North American-market Fly Yellow Lamborghini was initially dispatched to the official Lamborghini distributors of the U.S., where the accompanying <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carfax.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CARFAX<\/a> Vehicle History Report places the desirable Italian Supercar in California by the 1990s.
