Amanico's detailed pictorial review of the 1985 Lamborghini Jalpa P350 offers a fresh perspective on a classic often overshadowed by its contemporaries. His keen eye for design and performance highlights why this V8-powered machine, with its distinctive styling and engaging interior, remains a significant piece of automotive history. This article explores the community's appreciation for the Jalpa, examining its unique appeal and historical context.

3, 5 8 Cylinders delivering 250 HP, which was quite something at that time. 

The body reminds me something between the Lotus Esprit and the Maserati Merak. I like it a lot! 











The interior is superb, despite the dashboard which is probably from its era, a bit too much 80's. 





And this gear box!!! 

Enjoy,

Nicolas

Probably my favorite Lambo and F-car ... mmm the Testarossa might be. Anyway, the Jalpa has this very specific design I always liked a lot, the targa roof is a big plus for looks but not for wind noise I fear . Bim

Dare I say it I like it better than the Countach of the same time period Famously used by Phil Collins in the Phil the Shill episode of Miami Vice and by Rocky Balboa S

A lovely looking car but for a long time it lived in the shadow of the Countach. Saw one recently I a museum - has aged very well IMHO πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

As on merit it has been much better than that. Nice to see that the appreciation is rising nowadays. But it’s a bit like with watches, some get more attention than others and while it’s often on merit it also produces under appreciated, great pieces 😊
