During the Jalpa production, Automobili Lamborghini SpA became aware that a complete convertible would actually sell better than the Targa-style Jalpa they now offered, Bertone created a prototype based on the same chassis which became the Athon, this car didn't actually have a roof designed for it, but the car was much admired by the public when it was shown on some Auto Show. Therefore Lamborghini started working on a Jalpa full convertible in 1982, named the Jalpa Spyder, a prototype was created, based on a silver metallic over blue leather Jalpa which was still owned by factory, a similar rear treatment as found on the Athon was used for this special Jalpa, but the finished car didn't look as good as the Athon.When looking at the Jalpa Spyder from the side, you would immediately see the problem, the rear was out of proportion compared to the rest of the car. Their have been 2 prototype chassis one was ready and drivable to other was just an unpainted chassis. They were later forgotten at the factory, they latest information of Stefano Pasini is, that the two cars have been sold to Tonino Lamborghini.
