Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV

The Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV reaches 60 mph in 5.16 s (100 km/h in 5.37 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.25 s, tripping the lights at 112.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.36 s and the eighth mile in 8.79 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.81 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Countach 5000 QV

The 1985 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,490 kg with 449 bhp, which works out at 302 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 302 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.36 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,317th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 68th quickest of the 83 Lamborghinis here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 112.8 mph, the 1,157th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV 0-60 time?
The Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV reaches 60 mph in 5.16 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,317th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV quarter mile time?
13.25 s at 112.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.79 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.36 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV have?
449 bhp and 1,490 kg, which is 302 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 298 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV?
Closest here on pace: Ferrari 512 BB (5.22 s), Isdera Imperator 108i (390ps) (5.15 s), Lotec 928 GT Kompressor (5.17 s). Each one can be raced against the Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
