Debut at the 1981 Geneva Motor Show
The Jalpa made its first public appearance at the 1981 Geneva show, marking Lamborghini's entry into the mid‑engine V‑8 segment. Its launch helped broaden the brand’s lineup beyond the flagship Countach.
A Rare Mid‑Engine V‑8 Supercar
Unlike most Lamborghinis of its era, which favored V‑12 engines, the Jalpa featured a mid‑mounted V‑8, making it one of the few models with that configuration. This layout gave the car a distinctive balance of power and handling.
Limited Production and Classic Pricing
Only about 410 Jalpas were built between 1981 and 1988, underscoring its rarity today. In 1987 the model carried an original price tag of $58,000, positioning it as a high‑end sports car of its time.
