While the Lamborghini Countach dominates our collective memory as the definitive supercar of the 1980s, its story began in 1971-characterized by its aggressive, low-slung stance and angular shape. The introduction of the Countach LP400 S in 1978 brought substantial changes, namely its massive 345-section rear tires and their accompanying wide fenders. By the 1980s, the silhouette had grown both wider and taller by two inches, the design had also been updated with aesthetic and functional vents having been added. Also contributing to the Countachs now-iconic silhouette was an optional V-shaped rear wing and signature Campagnolo telephone dial wheels. The 1982 model year saw another update dubbed the LP500 S, with an increase in displacement to 4.8liters. The LP5000 Quattrovalvole followed in 1985, marking what most collectors consider to be the pinnacle of Countach development. Its mechanical specification centered around another enlargement of Lamborghinis Bizzarrini V12 engine to 5.2 liters with four valves per cylinder head, now rated up to 449 horsepower and 369 ft-lb of torque. Affectionately known by enthusiasts today as the Countach Downdraft, carbureted QVs were the most powerful production variant of the Countach and are fiercely prized today. This European-market 1985 Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole, is one of less than 380 QVs equipped with the coveted six double-barrel carburetor configuration between 1985 and 1988. Early QVs also benefit from the so-called round belly design, named for its absence of side skirts added on later cars, arguably making this particular variant of the Downdraft the ultimate Countach specification within the Lamborghini collectors view. Judging by this Downdrafts condition, this example has clearly been cherished by enthusiast owner-collectors throughout its life and to date. It presents in its original Rosso finish with original Panna leather hides, both in absolutely superb condition.
