1989 SA25 Highlights

  precise fit for intakes, front fender molding, trunk lid, and
  engine cover

  water pump

The Countach's eventual successor, the Diablo, had to deal with
a changing automotive world.  Fuel economy, emissions and safety 
regulations, as well as improved technologies, materials and 
manufacturing methods have forever altered the supercar
landscape.

The Countach will always be an utter contradiction: an awesome, 
stunning, entirely useless, absolutely incredible 
racer-for-the-road.  It was a futuristic machine built the 
old-fashioned way, and it will be a long time before a car has a 
greater impact on the world.
