1971 Lamborghini Jarama Rare, Best Options, Only 28k Miles, Same Owner 33 Years! on 2040-cars

Year:1971 Mileage:27000
Location:

Gaylordsville, Connecticut, United States

Gaylordsville, Connecticut, United States

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 LP 750-4 Superveloce strips down, powers up [w/video]

Tue, Mar 3 2015

"I hope the sun doesn't shine today." "I'm good-looking enough." "What the Aventador really needs is more power." There are some words that are seldom if ever spoken, but then there are some people who aren't inclined to listen to them. And we're glad that a growing number of 'em work for Lamborghini. Because without them, we wouldn't have beautiful monstrosities like the new Aventador SV, presented for the first time at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. It's actually called the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce, but that's a mouthful and a half of spaghetti bolognese, so everyone will be calling it SV for short. But whatever you want to call it, it promises to be fast. Like, time-warpingly fast. The tinkerers in Sant'Agata have managed to squeeze 740 horsepower and 509 pound-feet of torque out of the Aventador's already high-strung 6.5-liter V12. Unburdened by 110 pounds of excess weight, with an increase in downforce by 170 percent, a retuned suspension, a variable steering rack and new carbon-ceramic brakes, the Aventador SV is slated to run to 62 in 2.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 217 miles per hour. Which nobody needs, of course, but when was a Lamborghini ever about meeting needs as much as desires?

Details emerge on production-bound Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

The last we heard about the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, Lamborghini had confirmed its production with only 20 examples of the track-only car planned, but now we're finally starting to get some of the details about this knife-edged car. AutoVisie recently had the chance to talk to Maurizio Reggiani, Director of R&D at Lamborghini, who not only confirmed what will power the new car, he also said that the production version will carryover almost untouched from what we saw in concept form at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.
What we now know is that the Sesto Elemento will share the same powertrain as the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera including the 570-horsepower V10 and the all-wheel-drive system, and it will be built at a new factory dedicated to building prototypes and limited-volume cars like this. Also, the report states a curb weight of 2,200 pounds, a top speed of 320 kilometers per hour (198 miles per hour) and a 0-100 kph (0-62) time of just 2.5 seconds. The only changes made to bring the concept to production were to increase the car's rigidity and its safety. This means the car will still feature all-carbon-fiber construction and unique bucket seats that are actually built into the car's body; driver adjustments coming from the steering wheel and pedals.
The estimated price for the Sesto Elemento is two million euros, or around $2.6 million US, and although the original production date was slated for early 2013, Motor Authority now says that we'll have to wait for another "year or two" to see this car in the wild. Also, it does not appear that this is the mystery car recently teased in a 50th anniversary video released by Lamborghini.

Lamborghini agrees to produce Urus in Italy

Tue, May 26 2015

The Lamborghini Urus is apparently on the way, and it looks like it will be built in Italy. The news comes from Bloomberg, which claims Lambo CEO Stephan Winkelmann and Audi CEO Rupert Stadler will be joined by Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on Wednesday to announce a series of tax breaks to bring SUV production to Italy. The report cites multiple "people familiar with the matter." The details of the deal include up to 500 new jobs in exchange for $87 million in tax breaks along with "other benefits," according to Bloomberg. Just over a year ago, it was looking like Urus production was headed for Slovakia, where it'd be built alongside its MLB platform-mates, the Audi Q7, Volkswagen Touareg, and Porsche Cayenne. News of Italy's bid surfaced this spring. We'll be sure to keep an eye out for any official news as it becomes available. Related Video:
