1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary
It was the car which decorated most boys wall bedroom in the ’90s.
The Lamborghini Countach was one of the longest production supercars.
The 25th Anniversary edition was one of the most insane Countach ever made. Despite being designed a quarter-century in the back by Marcelo Gandini while he was working for Bertone. Over time, the car was constantly upgraded until the outrageous looking anniversary version.
Unlike the original version, the 1989 model featured a flamboyant aerodynamic package designed by Horacio Pagani. The huge wing in the back and the vents on the engine cover plus the front apron were part of the excessive styling of the Countach.
This 1989 Lamborghini Countach is one of approximately 658 total 25th Anniversary models produced during a three-year production run. The car is finished in silver over red leather upholstery, and power comes from a 5.2-liter DOHC V12 paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, scissor doors, a rear wing, a European-market front bumper.
Inside, the Italian supercar was luxurious by the materials used, but very strange from the comfort point of view. The cramped seats, the tall center console, and the square-looking dashboard and the almost non-existent rear windscreen were all part of the Countach heritage. The side windows were split into three, and only half of the lower one could have been opened. Unlike most of the mid-engine supercars, the Countach featured a trunk between the engine bay and the rear panel. It was large enough to fit airline-size suitcases.
Multi-piece 15” OZ Racing wheels wear Pirelli P Zero tires measuring 225/50 up front and 345/35 out back. A painted steel Route OZ spare wheel is fitted in the front trunk with a Michelin tire. The Countach features a fully independent suspension with coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers, and stopping power is provided by four-wheel ventilated disc brakes.
The Countach 25th Anniversary represents the last iteration of Lamborghini’s most iconic car, and many believe it to be the best of the series in terms of overall refinement and drivability. Beautifully preserved and remarkably original throughout, this Countach is sure to impress.
