Racing
The Lamborghini Jarama was primarily designed as a grand touring car, rather than a racing car. It was built for luxury and performance on the road, offering a comfortable and stylish driving experience for long-distance travel. As such, the Jarama did not have a significant presence in competitive racing events.

However, Lamborghini's focus during the Jarama's production years was more on creating high-performance road cars rather than racing cars. Models like the Miura and later the Countach were more aligned with Lamborghini's racing aspirations.
