no its the 25th Anniversary model, basically mechanically a Quatrovalvole but with different body kit and suspension.

Please don't do that.
The Countach does not want or need a wing from a styling perspective. Adding a wing is like ordering a cheeseburger with Oreo cream filling on it.

Oh yeah, if it can't be another Porsche, then I'd like to buy an e28 M5. Cool and rare, but very undervalued...

Or maybe a 2007 Subaru Impreza STi Limited (only 800 made)...

I have to agree with you on this. A customer friend of mine Joe Nastasi has one he claims it was the last to leave the factory. I recall him showing up one day with it on a flatbed, ten years old at the time and less than 500 miles on the odo. One thing he always complained about was the rear wing and what a problem it was. It is all for looks and apparently causes high speed handling issues as I recall him saying.

I have always tried to get him to sell his yellow Mura but he claims he will be buried in it.

Either way congrats on the new toy.

I can remember seeing the first Countach show car in '73 and was in disbelief when Lamborghini stated it was going into production. The LP400 is by far my favorite Countach with it's clean lines and purity of styling. Too bad it was designed around the skinny tires of the time. I like the Countachs' that have come after it too, right up to the 25th anniversary car. To my eye, the bumpers look like an afterthought and there's too much going on with all the louvers.
If I could afford one, I'd have an LP400 and most likely never drive it as to me it's such a work of art.

Its a 1988 Koenigs Specials 928 S4.

I can sleep comfortably tonight, have been stressful 12 hours waiting for this car to travel to my house.
