1987 Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole Is Our Bring a Trailer Auction Pick of the Day

• If your Aventador Ultimae went down with the ship, consider owning this Countach in a few days for the same money.

• Lamborghini produced only 610 Quattrovalvole models from 1985 to 1988, and this one is up for auction until Monday, April 25.

• Countach ownership comes with lifetime rights to valet in front of any Miami nightclub.

Scissor doors started with the Lamborghini Countach. Technically, they debuted on another Marcello Gandini masterpiece a few years prior, but never had a car designer insisted on vertical hinges and hydraulic struts to hold a door in place. It made no practical sense in 1974, and it still makes insurance adjusters squeamish in 2022. This 1987 Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole is selling for twice the price of the new Huracán Technica because it has two doors that open the right way. It's on Bring a Trailer—which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos—and quietly sitting in Seekonk, Massachusetts, ready to re-enact Cannonball Run.
