In 1970 Nuccio Bertone proposed the evolution of the Islero with the Jarama. Conceived for the “gentleman” driver, this car is an ideal mix of elegance and power. It was one of Ferruccio Lamborghini’s favourites who appreciated the excellent combination between the 365 HP and luxurious comfort, without the focussed attention that a Miura or an Espada stirred up.
In 1972, the 400 GT Espada was in full production. That year, in an attempt to improve sales that were frankly quite disappointing until then, the Jarama with the 365-hp engine was dubbed the Jarama S. The interior of the Jarama S version, presented in 1972, was completely restyled.
The Jarama essentially went out of production by 1976.
