On May 18, at the Mecum Auction’s Indy 2024, a sports and collector car auction, one vehicle is set to capture everyone’s attention: a 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary edition. Known for its exaggerated contours and aggressive design, this Countach isn’t just any model. Painted in Giallo Fly, a vivid yellow that accentuates its flamboyant angles, it is one of only six in this color, making it highly coveted among collectors.
This Lamborghini Countach is not only a collector’s dream for its design but also boasts impressive mechanical credentials. It features the rare carbureted setup with six downdraft Weber carburetors that enhance engine response and add a raw, mechanical feel to the driving experience. At the core of this supercar is a 5.2-liter quad-cam V12 engine.
Before being auctioned, the car received an extensive ‘engine out’ service in December 2023 to ensure it was not just visually stunning but also mechanically sound. Complete with its detailed service history, this Countach is a well-maintained marvel.
The 25th Anniversary model is a refined version of the iconic Lamborghini 5000, featuring improved handling and a contemporary interior that offers superior ride quality without compromising the sports feel Lamborghini enthusiasts cherish.
With its rare color scheme, carbureted engine, and meticulous upkeep, this Countach is expected to be a highlight at next month’s Mecum Auction in Indianapolis, attracting enthusiasts and collectors alike. It represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of automotive history, celebrated not only for its performance and design but also for its enduring allure and significance in the sports car legacy.
This vehicle will be featured at the Mecum Auctions event in Indianapolis known as Dana Mecum’s Original Spring Classic. The auction will showcase more than 3,000 cars and 1,000 Road Art items and is scheduled to take place from May 10 to 18, 2024, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
