The Cultivated Collector

The Cultivated Collector’s 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV “Downdraft”, chassis 12394, is a head-turning example finished in the timeless colorway of Nero over Grigio leather. Delivered new to Germany in June of 1988, 12394 would subsequently spend time in the Netherlands, and most recently, would reside again in Germany before traveling stateside to Connecticut in 2023. 

Today, having covered 49,100km, 12394 has enjoyed loving ownership from new while the Nero paint and mature Grigio leather interior shows minimal wear. Benefitting from regular and consistent servicing, 12394 has recently undergone service in preparation for sale, including repairing and recharging the AC system, full tuning of the carburetor systems, and fluid flush &#40;oil, brakes, transmission&#41; among other items, as well as a full detailing by Turn7 Autocare. 12394 is eager to run with the best and enthusiastically begin its next chapter on the open roads.

The LP5000 QV “Downdraft” is the Countach in its most exalted form - mechanical excess, unapologetically extroverted, and utterly intoxicating in both sight and sound. Widely regarded as the Countach at its most focused and characterful, the Downdraft held firm to the soul of Sant’Agata, and while other later Countach variants leaned toward regulation and refinement,  the Downdraft breathes through six twin-barrel Weber carburetors perched triumphantly atop its 5.2-liter V12. The result was a more responsive throttle, a sharper powerband, and a higher output delivered with a soundtrack that only a carbureted Lamborghini V12 can produce.

Perched on its back can be found a raised engine cover, designed to accommodate the taller intake system, which sets the Downdraft apart visually from its brethren. It’s a subtle but telling detail, one that hints at the mechanical intent beneath the surface. Paired with the QV’s dramatic lines, flared arches, and functional aero, the Downdraft looks every bit as serious as it drives. There’s no excess for the sake of it here, just bold, cohesive design wrapped around purposeful Italian engineering.

Getting behind the wheel of the Downdraft is a deeply analog and immersive experience. Everything from the weight of the controls to the mechanical immediacy of the carbureted V12 feels deliberate. It rewards commitment, not just enthusiasm. As it asks more of its driver - more attention, more effort - and it gives back something rare in modern performance cars: a sense of connection. Among collectors and enthusiasts alike, it’s valued not only for its rarity, but for representing a final chapter of unfiltered performance before modern compliance reshaped the supercar landscape.

THE LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH LPI 800-4
 
 
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the one-and-only Countach, Automobili Lamborghini unveiled a futuristic reimagining of the iconic original, aimed at recapturing the original car's 'wow factor' with dramatic looks and thunderous performance. Announced at the prestigious 2021 installment of the Quail: A Motorsports Gathering, the new Countach LPI 800-4 used existing Aventador architecture, but with new styling and even more performance. It was announced that just 112 would be produced – a nod to the original car's internal designation "LP112."
 
 
While entirely new, the design is undeniably Countach, with distinctive wedge profile, assertive stance, and of course, the large NACA ducts in the flanks. Even from the top-down, the design is spectacular with the central skylight flowing into the louvered engine lid. Stylized versions of the 80s 'phone-dial' wheels, and distinctive geometric taillight housings are all glorious design touches that look absolutely fresh, while honoring the brilliance of the original form.
 
 
Power comes from Lamborghini's 6.5-liter V12, which is supplemented by a 48-volt electric motor mounted in-line with the gearbox and driving all four wheels. A super capacitor stores the energy, which produces three times the power of a lithium-ion battery of the same weight. Total output is 803bhp, propelling the carbon-bodied Countach to 221 mph, with brutal acceleration in all gears.
 
 
Less than one week after it was announced, all 112 examples were sold, with customer deliveries commencing in 2022. The Countach LPI 800-4 is certainly one of the most memorable Lamborghinis in recent years, and thanks to its highly exclusive production run, it bound to become one of the most collectible.

THE LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH

In 1966, Lamborghini gave birth to the modern 'supercar' with its breathtaking Miura. An instant icon, the mid-engine twelve-cylinder sports car, with its staggering performance and looks, instantly put the nascent carmaker on the map. Following in the Miura's footsteps would never be easy, yet Lamborghini somehow surpassed the Miura's shock and awe. The sensation of the 1971 Geneva Salon was the Countach, which like its predecessor, was styled by Bertone's maestro, Marcello Gandini. Drawing from his revolutionary Lancia Stratos Zero concept from the year before, Gandini penned the new LP500 Countach as an angular wedge with folded-paper lines and dramatic geometric shapes. A difficult gestation meant the initial LP400 production version would not be seen for another two years, with deliveries commencing in 1974.

Lamborghini used the same four-cam V12 engine for the Countach but mounted it longitudinally behind the cabin in the spaceframe chassis. To optimize weight distribution and handling, designer Paolo Stanzani placed the five-speed gearbox ahead of the engine between the seats, and the differential – driven by a shaft passing through the sump – at the rear. The result was a delightful gear change and a better-balanced car than the Miura. When production began in 1974, the Countach sported an improved chassis and the standard 4.0-liter engine, instead of the prototype's 5.0-liter. Even with the smaller engine producing 'only' 370bhp, the lightweight Countach could attain 170mph and, as the looks suggested, offered incredible road holding and maneuverability.

The first upgrade appeared in 1978 as the 'LP400S', with the addition of flared wheel arches to accommodate Pirelli's massive new 345 mm rear tires for increased grip and stability. A large rear aerofoil was an option that further accentuated the outrageous styling of the Countach and was, unsurprisingly, the choice of most customers, despite it reducing the car's top speed.

The Countach's largest potential market, the USA, remained untapped until the arrival of the 'emissions friendly' LP500S in 1982. While horsepower remained the same as the smaller engine, the updated 4,754cc unit delivered a welcome boost in torque. The final iteration of the Countach debuted in 1985 as the Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole, named for its thunderous 5,167cc engine and new four-valves-per-cylinder heads. This 420-horsepower version was capable of an astonishing top speed of 300km/h, making it – at the time - the world's fastest car. And it sure looked like it, even at a standstill.


THE CAR OFFERED

Proudly owning its 1980s icon image in this fantastic special-order livery of Bianco Perlato on Panna leather, this 1987 Countach LP5000 QV is an extraordinarily low-mileage example showing just 2,256 km &#40;just a shade over 1,400 miles&#41; from new, recorded at the time of cataloguing.

Factory archives and registry information list this fuel-injected QV as production number 1604. Lamborghini produced 631 LP5000 QV models in total, and some sources say that of those, just 66 fuel-injected US-spec cars were delivered. Records indicate this car was reportedly sold to 'Carrie E.', and noting it came via Albert Silvera on May 21, 1987. While the connection to Silvera is not completely clear, he was a fascinating character and a Lamborghini VIP client with direct access to Ferruccio. Silvera was a wealthy hotel owner, diplomat, and playboy with close ties to the notorious Duvalier family in Haiti. He had a penchant for wild special-order cars from Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Rolls-Royce – often displaying them outside his El Rancho Hotel near Port-au-Prince. While the identity of the first owner and the ties to Silvera are somewhat murky, the car was undoubtedly ordered in spectacular specification and cherished from Day One.

Early in its life, the car was in California, and reports from previous owners suggest that despite being used sparingly, it received regular maintenance from local experts including Blackhorse Motor Sports and Franco's European Sports Cars. In the hands of the second owner, circa 2005 and with about 580 km, the original &#40;and ungainly&#41; US bumpers were removed and the car converted to the cleaner European bumpers at considerable expense, requiring some minor paintwork. In 2008, it was photographed at a concours in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, where the odometer was captured showing 628 km. Shortly thereafter, the Countach was acquired by a collector in Italy, where it remained for a few years prior to going to France. There, it joined one of the country's premier collections its originality and low miles capturing the attention of the owner. It accrued a few more kilometers along the way, while continuing to be well-maintained. An invoice on file from 2022 documents and oil, fluid, and filter service as well as the fitment of new, period-correct Pirelli tires.

An accompanying inspection report prepared prior to the vendor's acquisition shows the car in France remaining remarkably well-preserved, and displaying 2,211 km. In current care, it remains in superb order, reflecting its incredibly low mileage and history of expert care. It remains as jaw-dropping as the day it rolled out of the Sant'Agata Bolognese factory gates, with its matching pearl white wheels shod with period-correct Pirellis. Factory details abound, including the original space-saver spare and tool kit, factory Raid steering wheel, original driver's gloves, owner's manual and service guide, and even the original Alpine 7273L AM/FM/Cassette deck.

As one of a reported 66 cars in this mechanical spec and with astonishingly low mileage &#40;just over 1,400 miles&#41; this is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire an incredible Countach for your collection. At the time of writing, the vendor reports it to be in strong mechanical health, and should you be willing to add to the odometer, the car is willing and up to the task. Fabulous in its all-white livery and with a bite that lives up to the bark, this is quite possibly the quintessential 1980s supercar.

It's in full running condition. Could probably go cross country.
