1971 Lamborghini Jarama, red with tan interior, only 27,937 miles.  Numbers matching chassis and motor. Only 177 examples of the Jarama were produced between 1970 and 1973, which makes this a very rare car. The engine is a 4 liter V-12 fitted with six Weber carburetors that produces 350 horsepower at 7500 rpm. Combined with a 5 speed transmission, the Jarama drives fast and sounds great, with a top speed over 150 miles per hour. This early Jarama is the most desirable configuration sought by knowledgeable collectors because it was fitted with Miura-type knock off wheels, and a leather dash instead of the plastic dash found on later Jaramas. It was also fitted with the desirable fold-down rear seatbacks, which can convert the car into a 2 seater!  This particular car was owned by the same family for almost 35 years, from 1980 until 2013. Once purchased a light recommissioning was done, including cleaning the carburetors, redoing the brakes, and installing a new exhaust center section. At the present time the car runs well, but it has not been driven a lot. Cosmetically here are the flaws-  the paint has some cracking in it, and there is a   mismatch of the paint detectable in the rockers where some minor rust was properly repaired by cutting it out and replacing it with new metal- now there is no rust on the car. The interior is very nice with soft leather. The correct gas cap is missing. And the windshield has a few small bubbles in the glass. Other than these flaws, this is a very nice example of a rare Lamborghini that with a little work to become an excellent example throughout.
 
A reputable West Coast dealer recently sold a Jarama needing a full restoration for approx. $75,000 on the first day it was advertised.  My car is in far better condition, and my reserve isn't much more. There have also been two sales in Europe of nice Jaramas at approx. $175,000 and $180,000 US dollars- clearly the market is finally starting to appreciate Jaramas, especially when compared to the far higher prices other Lamborghini models from this era are bringing. 
 
The car is located in the northwestern corner of Connecticut, about 75 miles north of New York City.  If you have questions you can email me thru this website or call 860-350-1140. I have a page with more photos of the car- please got to forzamotorsports with the usual dot com ending. Buyer pays for shipping but I can help arrange transport to your door.  International buyers welcome. Thank you for viewing my listing.

Lamborghini Aventador SV clocks sub 7 minute Nurburgring lap

Mon, May 18 2015

The list of cars that have lapped the Nurburgring in under seven minutes is about as short as the ride heights on the supercars of which it's composed. There's the Radical SR8 (that's just barely street-legal), there are hybrid hypercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and McLaren P1, and now there's one more in the Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 SV. Lambo unveiled its latest Superveloce in Geneva just a couple of months ago, boasting an upgraded version of its free-revving V12, unburdened by 110 pounds of excess weight and fitted with enhanced equipment. The result of all these improvements is 740 horsepower, 509 pound-feet of torque, a 2.8-second 0-62 time, a top speed of 217 miles per hour and a Nordschleife lap time of 6:59.73. No turborchargers, no hybrid assist, no type certification or regulatory loopholes. Just an old-fashioned twelve-cylinder supercar doing what it does best, and trouncing just about everything else in the process. The lap time was clocked during development tests for the Lambo's P Zero Corsa tires, and appears to have been run with a roll cage in place, but we don't know if there were any other modifications carried out (or for that matter if the time was verified by any external authority). The timing of this video's release comes right on the heels of Seat having claimed the lap record for wagons and both the 24-Hour and World Touring Car Championship races taking place at the Green Hell this weekend.

Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato off-roader is headed to production

Tue, Jul 26 2022

Ending years of rumors and speculation, Lamborghini has confirmed it will build the rally-inspired Huracan Sterrato concept it unveiled in June 2019. The model, which will be the final evolution of the Huracan, is scheduled to make its official debut before the end of 2022. Preview images released by the firm give us an early look at the first off-road-ready Huracan. The coupe remains draped in camouflage but we can tell that not a lot has changed since the design study made its debut over three years ago — and that's just awesome. At its core, the Sterrato takes the form of a Huracan on stilts with two driving lights attached to its front end, wheel arch flares and a pair of roof rails. Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, preview images View 5 Photos We're curious to find out how Lamborghini modified the Huracan's suspension system to dial in the extra ground clearance. And, there's no word yet on what the model is powered by, though we're guessing it uses a version of the standard car's naturally-aspirated, 5.2-liter V10. For context, the Sterrato concept was powered by the Huracan EVO's V10 engine, rated at 640 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. It also featured all-wheel drive, a four-wheel steering system and torque vectoring, but all of these systems were retuned for off-road use. Lamborghini widened the front and rear tracks by about an inch, hence the big flares, and it added 1.85 inches of ground clearance. Lamborghini will introduce the Huracan Sterrato — assuming the concept's name is retained for the production model — by the end of 2022, meaning deliveries could start in early 2023. Pricing information hasn't been announced yet. When it lands, the off-roader will compete in a class of one. There are a great many supercars and there are a great many super-SUVs, but these two segments have rarely intersected in the realm of production cars. It's a different story in the concept car world: Volkswagen-owned ItalDesign Giugiaro turned the Lamborghini Gallardo into a high-riding design study called Parcour in 2013, and Audi unveiled the 5.0-liter V10 TDI-powered Nanuk later that year.

Swedish man bests Kobe Bryant by jumping speeding Lambo

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Way back in 2008, Los Angeles Lakers' shooting guard Kobe Bryant created a minor uproar with a viral video filmed and released by Nike. In it, the 16-time NBA all-star vaulted a moving Aston Martin. The promotional plug of the whole thing was that Bryant's ups were courtesy of his new Nikes, although he later admitted that "Hollywood" had a big part in the video.
This new video is allegedly real, though, and comes without the help of a promotional plug for a basketball shoe. It stars a Swedish man named Al the Jumper. Rather than an Aston Martin, Al jumps a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, which is heading right for him at 80 miles per hour. It is, if it's as real as claimed, a very impressive feat, especially after seeing how handily Al clears the Lambo.
