Despite the impracticality and updating over time, one should note that the basic iconic shape of the first Countach prototype revealed in 1971 remained virtually unchanged over an exceptionally long 19-year lifespan. The continued evolution of the car brought updates in 1985 where the engine was bored and stroked to 5167 cc and given four valves per cylinderโquattrovalvole in Italian, hence the modelโs name, Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole or 5000 QV in short. The carburetors were moved from the sides to the top of the engine for better breathing โ unfortunately this created a hump on the engine deck, reducing the already poor rear visibility to almost nothing. โSold new in the US in 1988 the car would accompany the original owner upon moving to the UK in 1991. โWith single ownership, low miles and an extensive service portfolio this Countach wants for nothing and is ready for itโs new custodian to enjoy and admire ๐ _______________________________________________ #auto #instacar #carporn #autoporn #design #automotive #vintage #drive #classic #classiccar #collect #icon #classiccarchasers #carphotography #forsale #drivetastefully #lamborghini #countach #italian #lambo #80s #lambodoors #iconic #race #sport #supercar #hypercar #want".
