The Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary edition was unveiled by the company at the 1988 Grand Prix at Monza. This new Countach retained the same visual panache and performance of the existing 5000QV specification, including its emblematic 5,167-cc V-12 engine, but boasted nearly 500 subtle updates intended to improve both aesthetics and passenger comfort.

Horacio Pagani was tasked with updating the iconic Gandini-penned bodywork. He chose to tweak the nose and redesign the air intakes to more effectively channel air to the Girling ventilated front disc brakes. At the same time, the rear bumper also received subtle styling changes. Other notable changes were made to the body air intakes, located just behind the door, which received thicker body colour stakes, and to the two-piece forged alloy wheels.

Inside, Lamborghini upgraded the Countach’s relatively spartan appointments to include all-new power windows and power seats. A newly designed steering wheel was fitted, as was a more powerful air conditioning system. Overall, the new Countach was comfortable but quick, with an estimated top speed of 295 km/h with 0–100 km/h in under five seconds. The new Countach was a fitting celebration of the marque’s 25th birthday.

The three-owner example offered here shows just 3,465 km from new. Built in 1989, it was delivered new to Sweden on 31 July 1991 before being sold to its German second owner in 2014. At that time, the car was noted as only having travelled 3,463 km from new. Since then, the car has remained preserved in storage and has been driven an additional two kilometres, leaving the odometer showing a paltry 3,465 km from new at the time of cataloguing. That second owner kept the car for a short amount of time before selling it to its third owner, who imported the car to Lithuania.
