After the gasoline shortages, expanding EPA restrictions and choking speed limits of the late '70s and early '80s eroded the initial excitement for the first Lamborghini Countach, production of the revolutionary supercar from Sant’Agata was reduced to a trickle. In fact, development within Lamborghini stopped completely until the France-based Mimran Group intervened with offers of cash and a new business plan.
The Mimran Group’s success attracted the interest of the then-expansive Chrysler Corporation, and by the late 1980s the factory once again bustled with activity, including an ambitious new ground-up Formula One program and engineering team headed by Ferrari’s former chief engineer Mauro Forghieri. Forghieri and his team made several refinements to both driveline and suspension, but aerodynamics and the Countach’s aging aesthetics remained an issue. The occasion of Lamborghini’s 25th anniversary was the catalyst for the overall cleanup needed to improve what would be the final edition of the Countach.
The car gained new elegance with the addition of a front air dam and completely redesigned engine and cooling intakes now integrated into the body lines. New lower body work integrated with the fender flares and blended with a redesigned rear bumper. Repositioning the radiators and using larger fans improved cooling, which was among the most crucial of a plethora of internal improvements. And while the driveline was unchanged, new OZ modular wheels were used and new Pirelli Zero Asymmetrical tires replaced the old P7s. Sold new at Prestige Imports in Miami, Florida, this is one of 657 Countach 25th Anniversary Editions produced.
Powered by Lamborghini’s beautiful 455 HP V-12 with 5-speed manual gearbox, it received an extensive engine service in 2014; the clutch was replaced in 2009. The car retains its original Rosso Siviglia paint, Ivory interior with Red piping and the original Pirelli tires and has been driven 10,565 kilometers since new. The tool kit, manuals, service records and Countach book are included with this factory U.S.-specification 25th Anniversary Countach.
