Lamborghini Jarama
The Jarama succeeded the Islero as Lamborghini's front-engined 2+2 GT car. Designed by Bertone's Marcello Gandini, it featured a shorter wheelbase than the Islero but more usable rear seats. The 350-hp V12 provided strong performance, while improved sound insulation made it Lamborghini's most refined car yet.
Verify matching numbers through Lamborghini Polo Storico. Check for rust particularly in floor pans, door bottoms, and rear wheel arches. The six-carburetor setup requires expert tuning and maintenance. Air conditioning systems often need rebuilding. Parts are scarce but reproduction components are becoming available. Service history is essential.
Production ran from 1970 to 1976 with just 328 examples built (177 base Jaramas and 151 Jarama S models). The Jarama S introduced in 1972 featured flared wheel arches, revised bumpers, and upgraded interior. It was Lamborghini's last front-engined V12 until the LM002.
