Lamborghini Also Sold a Record Number of Cars Last Year

Even with all the talk of electric cars and autonomous vehicles, Lamborghini isn’t having a hard time selling cars.

The Italian automaker has announced a record 3,815 cars were delivered in 2017 to customers around the world, marking a seventh straight year of growth. In 2016, Lamborghini sold 3,457 units, which means last year, the automaker experienced a double-digit sales growth of 10 percent compared to the previous year. Since 2010, when it sold 1,302 cars, Lamborghini has nearly tripled its sales numbers.

Every region set historic sales records for the brand last year, with EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) increasing 18 percent to 1,477 units; America growing four percent to 1,338 cars; and Asia Pacific jumping nine percent to 1,000 units.

The largest single market remains the U.S. at 1,095 units sold, followed by Japan (411), the U.K. (353), Germany (303), Greater China (265), Canada (211), and the Middle East (164).

Lamborghini also said sales of the V12-powered Aventador grew by six percent from 1,104 units to 1,173 units, while the V10 Huracan increased 12 percent from 2,353 units to 2,642 units.

Now with the Lamborghini Urus set to reach markets this year, expect to see even more sales growth from the brand in 2018.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
