In 1987, work was also undertaken to develop a car derived from the Jalpa, but with a canvas top: this was the Jalpa Spyder, also known as the Speedster. A prototype was built but the car never went into production, due to technical difficulties.
With 420 cars built, Jalpa was among the best-sellers – since production stopped in 1988 there were no other 8-cylinders from Lamborghini.
