Lamborghini revealed the Countach 25th Anniversario in September 1988 to celebrate a quarter-century of Raging Bull-badged automobiles that had begun with the 350 GT in 1963. With approximately 500 changes over the LP5000 QV, the Countach's final form sported extensive design enhancements penned by a young Horacio Pagani. The signature rear air intakes were enlarged for improved airflow, the front and rear bumpers were redesigned and extended, and the engine cover was restyled to a singular center-raised hump. The Countach 25th Anniversary's wider two-piece Ruote O.Z. forged alloy wheels were one of the first to be fitted with Pirelli's new P Zero tires; a stalwart of the performance tire industry for well over a decade.
Beneath the Countach's inviting scissor doors, the interior was broadened, modernized and ready for the Dot-com Decade. The door sills were redesigned and now featured covered storage bins. The seats were now plusher and could be electronically reclined. Window cranks were removed in favor of electric window switches centralized behind the gear lever. Better sound insulation was added, as was a more potent air conditioning system.
The Countach's performance modus operandi remained unchanged from the 5000 QV: a fuel-injected 5.2-liter V12 producing 455 PS, five-speed transaxle manual transmission, four-wheel independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes-yet the 25th Anniversary was the fastest Countach ever. Thanks to Pagani's bevy of aerodynamic changes plus better cooling, reliability, and extensive chassis development by rally champion Sandro Munari, the final edition Countach could now reach 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds from standstill and a top speed of 294 km/h. With 657 examples built, the 25th Anniversario represents the final expression of the Countach before the poster car transcended into myth and legend.
