The final Countach evolution celebrating Lamborghini's quarter-century. Restyled by Horacio Pagani with more integrated aerodynamics, revised suspension, and improved interior quality. The same 455 horsepower QV engine provided familiar drama while build quality reached its zenith. The final 657 examples remain the most refined and reliable Countach variant.
Countach visibility virtually non-existent rearward. Cooling marginal in traffic - overheating common. Clutch extremely heavy; synchromesh fragile. Early cars prone to chassis corrosion in door sill areas. Electrical systems temperamental. Air conditioning barely effective. Engine access requires body panel removal. Brake servo failures. Oil consumption normal. Carburetor synchronization critical. Window mechanisms fail. Later QV engines more reliable but complex.
Wing delete (LP400/LP400S), air conditioning, leather interior, Alpine stereo, power windows, Campagnolo wheels, tool kit, luggage set, factory wing (if preferred), matching numbers engine/chassis, known ownership history, Registro Lamborghini certification.
