1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary

OVERVIEW

1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition VIN: ZA9CA05A2KLA12480 One Owner 8000 original miles One of 658 Anniversary cars produced Fully serviced and concours detailed In December of 1988 this 25th Anniversary Countach was hand delivered by Ferruccio Lamborghini himself to Francesco Aquilini in his family's Italian hometown of Brescia. Well known in Canada, Aquilini is the owner of the Vancouver Canucks. A long time Lamborghini owner and family friend, Aquilini special ordered the car directly from the factory in its stunning Bianco Perlato paint, and black leather interior with white piping. The car remained in Italy for less than a year when it finally entered Aquilini's collection in Canada. Built as a USA-spec car importation was not an issue, as the car meets all Canadian, US and California emission standards. Weissach Performance in Vancouver, BC cared for it until the car was released from the collection earlier this year. Since arriving at Canepa the Countach has been completely cosmetically detailed and mechanically serviced. The engine was tuned, and every mechanical system in the car was evaluated and repaired if necessary. The suspension was pulled from the car, painted and restored. All the hardware was replated. The wheels where refinished and new tires installed. Over 125 hours was spent on the exterior and interior detailing alone. No expense was spared on this low mileage, original car, and the Countach received anything it required to bring it to 100% condition. As it sits now the Countach is impeccable both mechanically and cosmetically. And for those who miss the rear wing, have no fear ... the car comes with its original rear wing in excellent condition, and ready to be reinstalled if wished. About the 25th Anniversary Countach 5167 cc V12 Horsepower: 449 Torque: 369 ft/lb 0-62 mph: 4.9 seconds Top Speed: 183 mph Named to honor the company's twenty-fifth anniversary, the 25th Anniversary Countach was mechanically very similar to the 5000QV but sported much changed styling. The rear air boxes were restyled and enlarged, while the vents behind them were changed so that they ran front to back instead of side to side. In addition, a new air dam and side skirting, both with air intakes, were fitted, and the taillights were restyled to be narrower, with body-colored panels replacing the upper and lower parts of the previous large taillights. The styling changes were striking on the 25 year old design, and had the added benefit of improved the engine's cooling, a problem the powerful Countach had always struggled with. The Countach also featured 345/35R15 tires; the widest tires ever available on a production car at the time. The Anniversary was produced from 1988 to 1990 when it was finally replaced by the Lamborghini Diablo.
