The '''Lamborghini Jalpa''' , pronounced in the Spanish "HAL-pah", was a [[automobile|car]] produced by the Italian automaker [[Lamborghini]] from 1981 to 1988. The Jalpa was a development of the earlier [[Lamborghini Silhouette|Silhouette]], but was rather more successful; a total of 419 examples were sold. The Jalpa was intended to fill a role as a more "affordable" Lamborghini, being much cheaper than the [[Lamborghini Countach|Countach]].  Instead of the big car's V12, the Jalpa was fitted with a transversely-mounted 3.5 litre V8 that developed 255 hp.  The bodywork was designed and built by [[Bertone]].


'''Use the following MODEL TEMPLATE as the foundation for the Wikicars' Model page:'''
The name ''Jalpa'' came from a famous breed of fighting bulls, [[Ferruccio Lamborghini]] having a liking for bulls and being a Taurus he gave most Lamborghini cars bullfighting-related names.


Start off with a brief Introduction to the particular MODEL. Please DO NOT use the same Introduction text from the [[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]] page, but rather paraphrase ideas relevant to grasp an overall scope of the [[automobile|vehicle]].  
Compared to the Countach, the Jalpa was much easier to drive, having better visibility and being more tractable in heavy traffic and at slow speeds. At night, however, there were many distracting internal reflections (a common curse of the Italian low-volume car).


'''Please include the following line at the bottom of this section. Please replace [[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]] with the proper text:'''
Originally the plastic components (bumpers, air intakes and engine cover) were black, and the car carried over the rectangular taillights of the Silhouette. In 1984, however, the plastic became body-colored, and round taillights were fitted.


See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]]'''.
In 1988, after falling sales, the new owners, Chrysler, decided to end Jalpa production.


===Recent Changes===
The official top speed of the Jalpa was 146 mph (234 Km/h) but higher speeds have been claimed.  The weight with all fluids is 3322 lb (1,507 kg).

The Lamborghini Jalpa , pronounced in the Spanish "HAL-pah", was a car produced by the Italian automaker Lamborghini from 1981 to 1988. The Jalpa was a development of the earlier Silhouette, but was rather more successful; a total of 419 examples were sold. The Jalpa was intended to fill a role as a more "affordable" Lamborghini, being much cheaper than the Countach. Instead of the big car's V12, the Jalpa was fitted with a transversely-mounted 3.5 litre V8 that developed 255 hp. The bodywork was designed and built by Bertone.

The name Jalpa came from a famous breed of fighting bulls, Ferruccio Lamborghini having a liking for bulls and being a Taurus he gave most Lamborghini cars bullfighting-related names.

Compared to the Countach, the Jalpa was much easier to drive, having better visibility and being more tractable in heavy traffic and at slow speeds. At night, however, there were many distracting internal reflections (a common curse of the Italian low-volume car).

Originally the plastic components (bumpers, air intakes and engine cover) were black, and the car carried over the rectangular taillights of the Silhouette. In 1984, however, the plastic became body-colored, and round taillights were fitted.

In 1988, after falling sales, the new owners, Chrysler, decided to end Jalpa production.

The official top speed of the Jalpa was 146 mph (234 Km/h) but higher speeds have been claimed. The weight with all fluids is 3322 lb (1,507 kg).
