Introduced in 1970 and built until '76, the Jarama was penned by renowned automotive designer Marcello Gandini. It was powered by the familiar V12 and was built specifically for export to the U.S. It was based on the Islero, which was unable to meet then new U.S. safety and emissions laws. Instead of modifying the car, Lamborghini chose to design an all-new model. While the Jarama may look similar to the Islero simply due to both being designed by Gandini, it had a shorter chassis and various others mechanical and styling changes.
