Lamborghini LP5000 Quattrovalvole Countach:
In 1985, the LP5000 Quattrovalvole Lamborghini Countach top speed was 185 mph with an upgraded 5.2L engine, along with Bosch fuel injection in 1986. The name comes from new cylinder heads, which introduced 4 valves per cylinder. Only 610 examples were built between ’85 and ’88. The bored and stroked engine had 9.5:1 compression, this is competitive even in modern engines. The Bosch intake was taller than the carburetors, so the rear deck lid received a bump to accommodate them. The system was also made to run lean to meet EPA standards, so power was limited to 420 hp. Power locks and HVAC controls were upgraded to make it an easier daily driver and less disco-era.
Me trying to look as if it's mine. Don't worry it's not. Simply a day out planned for my son and me by my daughter in law. We got to drive seven different super cars. T'was great fun.
I caught this little beauty catching its breath in the driveway of the Grand Hyatt Hotel the other night. Even though it was taken at night, the soft, warm light glowing from the foyer gave the scene a beautiful warm glow, in stark contrast with the really cool car!
Possibly my favorite of these so far--hard to beat olive green for one thing. Unlike the other two though, no room for a minifigure in this cockpit...
I built this in March or April, photographed it in July or thereabouts, and finally am getting around to posting it because I want more on my end-of-the-year collage. Isn't that awful.
Shout out to Isaiah for the epic edit.
