The Lamborghini Jarama is a 2+2 grand tourer manufactured and marketed by Italian car manufacturer Lamborghini between 1970 and 1976. It was styled by Bertone designer Marcello Gandini.
Ferruccio Lamborghini intended the name to recall the fighting bulls bred in the Jarama river area in Spain and not the Jarama racing circuit near Madrid.
History
In 1968 Lamborghini began manufacturing the Islero to meet the demand of the American market. When it came time to replace it, instead of just redesigning the Islero, Lamborghini instead made the Jarama. Introduced in 1970 at the Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini built the Jarama to meet U.S. standards using a version of the Espada chassis that had had its wheelbase shortened by 10.7 inches.[2] Exterior styling was done by Marcello Gandini, which resulted in similarities with the Iso Lele
