Lambo enjoying bumper year
Lamborghini’s may be some of the quickest motors on the road, but they are flying off the shelves even faster.
The company has just revealed 2007 is set to be a record year for sales and its full production is now sold out until the end of 2008.
Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Lamborghini, announced at the Tokyo Motor Show that sales at the House of the Bull are raging.
The supercar maker plans a sum total of deliveries to customers of 2400 units, representing a 15% increase over the 2006 financial year.
As of today, 2007 deliveries already exceed the total full year deliveries of 2087 units in 2006.
‘After having achieved our turnaround into profit in 2004, and with our subsequent move into the group of the most profitable car manufacturers, 2007 marks another strengthening of the corporation and the Lamborghini brand,' Mr Winkelmann said.
‘Thus, we have made another substantial step towards our target of becoming the most profitable super sports car manufacturer in the world.'
As with marques like Rolls-Royce and Bentley, Lamborghini is enjoying a boost in sales in Asia.
The most significant market in the region is Japan, which has seven exclusive dealership partners.
Japanis the fifth most important market for Lamborghini worldwide.
One of the strongest selling models is the Gallardo Superleggera and Lamborghini is now looking to expand its dealer network.
