This Bertone-designed Lamborghini was introduced at the 1981 Geneva Auto Show. It was released for worldwide sale as a 1982 model, joining the Countach, and was named after a breed of fighting bulls. The Jalpa succeeded the Lamborghini Silhouette and carried design DNA from the original Lamborghini Urraco, which was released from 1973. Powering the Jalpa was a mid-mounted aluminum V8 engine that was enlarged to 3.5-liters with a longer stroke than of the prior Silhouette. Induction was handled by a quartet of 40 DCNF twin-choke carburetors. The engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

The suspension system is comprised of coil springs, MacPherson struts, and front and rear anti-roll bars. It rides on 16 x 7.5” Campagnolo wheels mounted on 205/55VR16 tires up front and 225/50VR16 tires in the rear. The supercar was fit with many amenities, including leather upholstery, air conditioning, AM/FM cassette stereo audio system, power windows and power driver's side mirror. In 1984 at the Geneva show, Lamborghini updates to the Jalpa, which include a change from black plastic body parts to body-color pieces. The taillights were now circular in design. This example is finished in Rosso Siviglio over a black leather interior.
