The Lamborghini Countach QVX was a short-lived Group C sports racing car built in 1985. It was not built or designed by the Lamborghini factory: Lamborghini's British importer David Jolliffe commissioned it, Spice Engineering designed and built the chassis, and the engine was derived from the 5.7 litre V12 of the Countach QV, developed for Group C racing by Luigi Marmiroli to give 650 to 700 horsepower. Money problems limited the car to a single race, the non-championship 500 km at Kyalami in November 1986, where Tiff Needell qualified seventh and was classified fifth overall. Entries at Monza, Le Mans and Silverstone were never attended and the car was retired.
