Lamborghini Jarama is a sports Coupé which was built by Lamborghini between 1970 and 1976. It was designed by Bertone designer Marcello Gandini. It was named after the Circuito Permanente Del Jarama racing circuit near Madrid, Spain (which is in turn named after the Jarama river).
In 1970, Lamborghini had to redesign the Islero to meet new United States safety and emissions regulations. The new car was built on a shortened version of the same platform as the Espada. Two different models were made, the original GT (1970-1973) model having 350 bhp (260 kW) V12, and the GTS (also know as Jarama S) (1973-1976) with its output upped to 365 bhp (272 kW). Also, with the GTS there were a few minor body modifications and Power assisted steering, removable roof panels, and an Automatic transmission became available as options. A total of 328 Jaramas were built.
Trivia
Ferruccio Lamborghini's personal Jarama GTS is on display at the official Lamborghini museum.
