The iconic Lamborghini Countach received its second major update in 1982 with the introduction of the 5000 S variant. The 5000 S was notable for an enlarged engine displacement of almost five liters, as well as styling developments including wider fender arches covering 8 1/2-inch wide Ozzeta Electron wheels, and an optional rear spoiler.
While US-specification cars were equipped with fuel injection, European cars breathed through six Weber carburetors, providing a dividend of 20 horses over their American counterparts. With just 321 examples built, the 5000 S also offered a modicum of rarity, and its clean lines and powerful specifications make it the most desirable Countach iteration in the view of many enthusiasts.
Benefiting from 28 years of fastidious care by the original owner, a celebrated figure in the Lamborghini community, this scintillating low-mileage 5000 S is surely one of the model’s most desirable examples.
