Countach QV colors

downdraft · #1 (**permalink**) 02-21-2005, 12:40 AM

As far as I know the Countach QV (1985-1988) was available in White, Black, Red or Yellow (and special color requests Pearl White, Raymond's Chianti, etc.)

Does anyone know the percentage of QV Countaches manufactured per color?

Was the Downdraft vs Injection approximately 50/50?

Thanks.

I have never seen a colour summary, colours were those of the Jalpa/Countach range: http://www.jalpa.ch/colours.html

I think 2/3 of the QV production was carbed, on the 25th perhaps it was more 50/50.

Finally you could have had every colour, it simply costed more...

I know also of two silver Countach QV, one is unfortunately yellow now and the other belonged to Formula 1 driver Jean Alesi.

What I have posted on Jalpa.ch is the standard colour program they had that time, not more... I cannot say if there was another colour program later or before since there is no date stamped on it.
