This 1984 Lamborghini Countach is one of approximately 321 examples of the LP500 S built during three years of production. It is finished in Nero Tenebre over Nero leather and is powered by a 4.8-liter quad-cam V12 paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, scissor doors, a rear wing, fog lights, silver-finished 15″ Ruote OZ wheels, a gated shifter, a cassette stereo, a backup camera, and air conditioning. A repaint was performed in 2015, and a mechanical refresh carried out at that time involved an engine overhaul, gearbox rebuild, and the installation of MSD ignition, a Larini stainless-steel muffler, and replacement clutch cylinders. The selling dealer acquired the car in 2023, and the top end of the engine was refreshed and the rear main seal, engine mounts, and spark plugs replaced in 2024. This Countach LP500 S now shows 52k kilometers (~32k miles) and is offered with the owner’s manual, service records beginning in 2014, and a clean Arizona title.

Not a huge Countach fan, but this example is gorgeous.

Such a stunning example! My youth wrapped up in one machine!

Impeccable specimen, so gorgeous indeed, and a 1984, great. Sir, as you blast along that pristine road in what looks to be somewhere in the vast American south west, I got some serious Cannonball Run movie intro vibes. Nice presentation ! 🇺🇸👌

I've got an 88.5. Countach. It's been my favorite car of all time. I also have a diablo, esprit, Aston, a couple supras and a few more. The thing with the Countach us you can't experience it in a few hours or a day or a week. You need to have one and drive it for at least a month to appreciate what it is and does. How to drive it, sit in it, see out of it, and honestly not be scared of it. I am 6 foot 1 with size 14 shoes and while on paper the Diablo is better in every way. The Countach is by far my favorite.

Still STUNNING!!! Hs to be on of the best Countaches I have seen. Masterpieces like this are why proper restoration and care is so important so future generations can enjoy these beauties. BTW, you got into it like a champ. Thank you for sharing.

roll up windows, awesome.

the noise, the noise is unreal 😍

And you didn't mention the dog leg gearbox, not many cars did the dog leg pattern, but once you were moving, made perfect sense for the 2 gears you will mostly be in to be in line. What a pristine example!!
-
you better drive it in this video or your fans will not forgive you :)
-
If Batman needs a new car this is it !

ive still got my alpine posters from the 80's! as soon as i saw this thumbnail it was instant cannonball run flashbacks. i dont recall seeing a countach with manual windows... sorry lets call them what they are rollup slots. lol i dont care if you have to drive it with the seats facing the rear its still a major part of my childhood. im from MD and in the early 80's there wasnt exotic cars everywhere. there were 2 places , one slod lamborghini in riesterstown Motorcoach and other ferrari American service center in arlington VA. my dad would take me there any time is asked most of the time there wasnt anything we could see but he'd take me anyway. he gave his love of cars to me. ive over 5000 magazines from 1977-2020. this car was in my walls i have hot wheels and models and lego. its such an iconic car and to see people drive them makes it the best. they are cars no matter the value they were made to be driven. the worst thing you can do the these cars is to not drive them. i'll take a silver low body w/red guts please, no wing of course. great car thanks for sharing it . cheers

That countach lps 500 is sweet

Headquarters, we are still in pursuit of the black Lamborghini.

That front bumper wasn’t an “option”… just like the early fuel injection system on that specific car it was part of the first attempt to gain full DOT safety and emission approval. These 2 valve cars with the modified injection system, originally EVERY 2 valve car had carbs, are the lowest hp version in the Countach family… of course still an Awesome car.
