Manufacturer Press Release
After some stinging criticism of the original Jarama, Lamborghini hurriedly began revising and refining it, eventually launching a massively improved Jarama S during March 1972 at the Geneva Salon. Period factory literature stated that just under 100kg was shed from the original Jarama's curb weight and when combined with a hot new 365bhp engine, meant there were some impressive performance gains. Further improvements to cabin ergonomics and build quality ensured the S was a very fine car.

Visual changes saw the addition of a prominent hood-mounted engine cooling scoop, this flanked either side by the original NACA ducts. There were also new bumpers, Carello driving lights and supplementary engine cooling vents carved from the base of each windscreen pillar. Five-bolt alloy Campagnolo wheels replaced the handsome knock-off items of earlier versions. Alterations to the interior included a new dash with improved ergonomics and aluminium instead of wood trim. Slimmer seat backs improved rear legroom and there was much-needed power steering. Options included a pair of removeable targa roof panels and Chrysler Torqueflite automatic transmission. The exact number of Jarama¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s fitted with either of these options is unknown but certainly very small. A targa-topped Jarama is an incredibly rare machine and the most desirable S money can buy. Power was also increased for this new version, a 15bhp gain taking output to 365bhp. It was achieved through the use of a more efficient exhaust system, hot cams, heads and carburettors. However, an arguably sub-standard first attempt at a model had blighted the reputation of a much improved successor and the Jarama S died in 1976 after just 150 examples had been delivered.
