The Original Model: An Exceptional Grand Tourer
The Lamborghini Jarama was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1970, designed to replace the Islero in the brand's grand tourer lineup. Developed under the direction of Ferruccio Lamborghini himself, this car embodied the manufacturer's vision of a refined GT, combining exceptional performance with driving comfort. The name "Jarama" pays homage to the famous Spanish bullfighting arena, perpetuating the brand's taurine tradition.
Powered by the legendary 3.9-liter V12 producing 350 horsepower, the Jarama showcased remarkable performance with a top speed exceeding 260 km/h. Its body, designed by Bertone under the supervision of Marcello Gandini, stood out for its characteristic angular lines and perfectly balanced proportions, typical of 1970s Italian design.
Produced in only 328 units between 1970 and 1976, the Jarama remains one of the most exclusive Lamborghinis today, particularly sought after by collectors for its unique character and rarity in the collectible car market.
Lamborghini in the Early 1970s
In 1973, Lamborghini was going through a pivotal period in its history. Founded in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini, the brand quickly established itself as a direct competitor to Ferrari in the segment of Italian supercars. At that time, the company was simultaneously producing the Jarama and the revolutionary Countach, demonstrating its ability to combine GT tradition with technological innovation.
This period corresponds to Lamborghini's creative peak under the guidance of its founder. The brand enjoyed a reputation for excellence in both performance and quality, attracting wealthy clientele seeking exclusivity and refinement. However, the first signs of financial difficulties were beginning to appear, foreshadowing the ownership changes that would mark the following decade.
A Family Story and Passion
The story of the Lamborghini Jarama is inseparable from that of its creator, Ferruccio Lamborghini, whose passionate and perfectionist character was evident in each of his creations. Contrary to the often-told legend of his rivalry with Enzo Ferrari, Ferruccio primarily wanted to create cars that reflected his own vision of the ideal grand tourer.
The Jarama perfectly embodied this philosophy: less spectacular than the Miura, it remained an authentic supercar designed to offer a perfect compromise between performance and daily usability. Ferruccio Lamborghini himself regularly used a Jarama for his travels, viewing it as the most accomplished expression of his conception of luxury automobiles.
An anecdote recounts that during development testing, Ferruccio demanded that each Jarama be able to maintain its top speed for over ten consecutive minutes, a remarkable feat for the time. This obsession with reliability at high speed greatly contributed to forging the brand's reputation for mechanical excellence, a reputation that endures to this day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
