In the year 2014 Automobili Lamborghini has set
a new sales record in its history by delivering 2,530 cars to its customers.
Stephan Winkelmann, President
and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A noted that his company increased sales
in all its major regions. ''Our biggest markets are the USA and Greater China.
They are followed by the Middle East, UK, Japan and Germany which each
registered significant growth in 2014,'' he said.
Lamborghini sales distribution
is well-balanced among the three regions EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa),
America and Asia Pacific which account for one third of global sales each.
The twelve cylinder model
Aventador LP 700-4 in both, Coupé and Roadster version, was delivered to
customers in 1,128 units (1,001 in 2013, +13%) and thus beat again all records
of V12 model sales in Lamborghini's history.
The ten cylinder model Huracán
LP 610-4 had its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show 2014 and has
established itself as an extremely successful super sports car with more than
3,300 orders collected until the end of the year 2014. Since the start of the
market introduction in the middle of the year, 1,137 units were delivered to
customers.
The Lamborghini Gallardo, with
a total of 14,022 units by far the most-built Lamborghini ever, was delivered
to customers in its last 265 units.
The year 2014 was clearly the
year of the Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4. With the newly-developed ten cylinder
super sports car, the successor to the highly successful Gallardo, Automobili
Lamborghini has redefined the benchmark in the segment. Starting from 2015 onwards, the new Huracán
LP 620-2 Super Trofeo, presented in summer 2014, will debut on international
racetracks in all three of the brand's one-make series - the Lamborghini
Blancpain Super Trofeo in Europe, Asia and North America.
And with the Huracán GT3,
which will be presented at the end of January 2015, Lamborghini's Motorsports
department Squadra Corse has taken the next step towards development and
production of a race car for one of the most demanding and prestigious
international categories. Starting from the 2015 season, the Huracán GT3 will
be among the protagonists of the Blancpain Endurance Series, which is
anticipated to race at five venues in Europe including the famous 24 Hours of
Spa-Francorchamps.
With the Lamborghini Asterion
LPI 910-4, instead, Automobili Lamborghini gave an outlook into the future and
unveiled its first plug-in hybrid (PHEV) technology demonstrator at the 2014
Paris Mondial de l'Automobile. Clearly a Lamborghini, Asterion is a conceptual
car housing a plug-in hybrid powertrain designed to Lamborghini objectives: The
Asterion defines a solution to significantly reduce CO2 emissions through
technologies available today, guaranteeing the unique Lamborghini driving feel
with smooth and reactive driveability and superior power.
''In 2014, Lamborghini
delivered a very satisfying performance, confirming again the strength of our
brand, product and commercial strategy,'' said Stephan Winkelmann, President
and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.
With 130 dealers serving 48
countries, in 2014 worldwide deliveries to customers increased from 2,121 to
2,530 units. This represents a sales growth of 19% compared to the previous
year.
