Seems like an awful thing to do to a Jalpa.

True enough.
Can't say I've seen one anywhere lately.
Doesn't say much for 7 years of production, does it?

Looks like a '71 Mustang mated with a '76 Lotus Esprit.

I agree. The Jalpa was a nicer car than the Gallardo.
BTW, all that work and AWD to only go 0.5-1 second faster to 60?
Just turn up the boost and leave the EYE-talians alone.



And the Espada is one of the sexiest 4 seaters(you could fit real adults in the back) of all time

lol hey, it was a design exercise. if you wanted a quick one you should have seen the 470 hp one they built for bob lutz. had a $70,000 prototype cvt phaser on the intake cam.
