    Why didn't the Lamborghini Jalpa take off?

    What a beautiful car this was... Sort of looks like a Lotus Esprit....

        very nice looking car

        "In 1988, after falling sales, the new owners, Chrysler, decided to end Jalpa production despite being Lamborghini's most successful V8 car to date having sold 410 units."

        guess it did take off lol

          I think V8 is the key figure here. Looks like no one wanted to buy a V8 Lambo and opted for the V12 models instead.

            Maybe because it looks like a supra with body mods?
            Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
            think about that

                think it came down to ownership issues

                    For one thing it doesn't have their trademark front end curvature. It's a good looking car, but the design in general is borrowed from less expensive cars. It doesn't look like it's from outer space.

                              I drove one - once. A guy I worked for in the late 80s owned one...let me take it for a spin.
