Lamborghini revealed the Countach 25th Anniversary in September
1988 to celebrate a quarter-century of Raging Bull-badged
automobiles that had begun with the 350 GT in 1963. With
approximately 500 changes over the LP5000 QV, the Countach's final
form sported extensive design enhancements penned by a young
Horacio Pagani. The signature rear air intakes were enlarged for
improved airflow, the front and rear bumpers were redesigned and
extended, and the engine cover was restyled to a singular
center-raised hump. The Countach 25th Anniversary's wider two-piece
Ruote O.Z. forged alloy wheels were among the first to be fitted
with Pirelli's new P Zero tires, a stalwart of the performance tire
industry for well over a decade.
Beneath the Countach's inviting scissor doors, the interior was
broadened, modernized, and ready for the Dot-com Decade. The door
sills were redesigned and now featured covered storage bins. The
seats were now plusher and could be electronically reclined. Window
cranks were removed in favor of electric window switches
centralized behind the gear lever. Better sound insulation was
added, as was a more potent air conditioning system.
The Countach's performance modus operandi remained unchanged from
the 5000 QV: a fuel-injected 5.2-liter V12 producing 420
horsepower, five-speed manual transmission, four-wheel independent
suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes-yet the 25th Anniversary was
the fastest Countach ever. Thanks to Pagani's bevy of aerodynamic
changes plus better cooling, reliability, and extensive chassis
development by rally champion Sandro Munari, the final edition
Countach could now reach 60 mph in 4.7 seconds from standstill and
a claimed top speed of nearly 183 mph. With 657 examples built, the
25th Anniversary represents the final expression of the Countach
before the poster car transcended into myth and legend.
This 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition is finished
in Nero Tenebre that is mirrored by its Nero leather interior.
According to its CARFAX Vehicle History Report, this example was
first registered in March 1989 in Ontario, Canada, and has remained
in the Greater Toronto Area most of its life. An odometer reading
from May 1994 showing 16,579 kilometers/10,302 miles likely
indicates that the vast majority of this example's mileage was
accumulated by its first owner, as the car has covered just seven
miles since. After 33 years, the car was purchased by its next
owner in October 2022 and remained in Ontario. It was briefly
exported to Searcy, Arkansas, in late 2025 under subsequent
ownership before it was purchased the following July by the selling
dealership.
Now offered with just 16,591 kilometers (�10,309 miles) at
cataloging, this stunning 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th
Anniversary is furnished with its original tool roll that notably
features its Lamborghini-branded leather repair gloves. Presented
in a stunning black on black color combination and boasting such
low mileage, this is a standout example of the final, most polished
iteration of Lamborghini's 1980s heartthrob.
