Common questions
How much does a Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV cost?
A 1985 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV cost $99,500 new. Over the past 12 months, 3 have sold publicly at a median of $980,000. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $654,900. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $530,000 to $802,500, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 1985 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $654,900. That sits below the $980,000 median of actual sales because the estimate weights the most recent results most heavily, and recent sales have come in under the longer-run median. We rate confidence medium: 3 public sales in a year is a thin market, and the spread between them is wide.
Is a Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV a good investment?
It has appreciated 558% against its $99,500 list price. Only 610 were built. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $370,000 to $1,325,000, and mileage explains most of that.

The 5000 QV represented peak naturally aspirated Countach performance with its 455-hp Quattrovalvole V12 featuring four valves per cylinder. This technical advancement, borrowed from Lamborghini's racing programs, delivered the most powerful Countach engine yet while improving throttle response and high-rpm breathing. Gandini's design reached full maturity with refined aerodynamics and the definitive Countach proportions that influenced supercars for decades. The 610-unit production run made it the most common late-model Countach, yet demand consistently outstrips supply among collectors seeking the ultimate 1980s icon. The QV's combination of raw performance, dramatic styling, and relative reliability makes it the sweet spot for many enthusiasts. As values of 1980s supercars continue climbing, the 5000 QV offers the full Countach experience with the best power-to-dollar ratio in the lineup.
