How we verify Lamborghini Jalpa performance data

Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Lamborghini Jalpa trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
