Lamborghini Jalpa Can Be Yours For $115K - Top Speed
Produced in 1988, this particular Jalpa is one of the very last to be created. To keep it running, this Jalpa has had a bit of work done to it, including recent repairs to the ignition wires and exhaust manifold, and a fresh set of tires. Overall, though, the car looks beautifully maintained, which is no surprise given the fact the previous owner was a “professional foreign car mechanic who kept a small collection that he pampered with both enthusiasm and intimate knowledge of what... Also included are the original warranty booklets and a parts manual, just in case you want to browse all the parts you’ll now probably be able to find. While the flamboyant and extravagant Countach captured the majority of the attention, the Jalpa sat in its shadow as the more accessible and driver-friendly alternative. Whereas the Countach bludgeoned it’s way through the street, with a lurching V-12 engine, speed-bump-munching nose, and a rear wing big enough to play runway for a 747, the Jalpa promised the same exotic experience without all the exotic drawbacks. It’s vaguely reminiscent of the strategy McLaren It was featured in the 1985 movie Rocky IV. It also boasted pretty decent performance for its time, with a 0-to-60 time of six seconds flat and a top speed of 145 mph. But for the affluent collector who just can’t sleep well at night until he has a Jalpa in his collection, this is. Source: www.topspeed.com
