The 1985 Lamborghini Countach 5000QV (Quattrovalvole) is a mid-engine supercar manufactured by Lamborghini between 1985 to 1988.

Unveiled at the 1985 Geneva Auto Show, the new LP5000 QV was the third revision of the Countach - replacing the previous LP500 S - featuring an engine displacement increase to 5167 cc by enlarging the stroke to 75 mm and fitting new cylinder heads with four valves per cylinder; giving its "quattro valvole" name meaning "four valves" in Italian.

Sending its power to the wide 345/35-15 Pirelli P7 rear tyres created especially for the Countach, the engine is fitted with downdraft Weber carburettors, which required a large hump in the middle of the engine lid to accommodate it. Although it could be ordered with a rear wing, it does not suffer from aerodynamic lift at high speeds, making this optional a purely aesthetic item.

In 1986, to meet EPA emissions regulations for the United States market, an altered export model was made available equipped with front and rear extended bumpers, as well as a Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel injection instead of carburettors, which reduced horsepower.

The Quattrovalvole underwent minor bodywork changes in late 1987, gaining streaked sills incorporating rear brake cooling vents, and Lamborghini would produce it until 1988, when the final major Countach revision would be introduced: the 25th Anniversary.[1]
