New figures from Lamborghini show the Italian company enjoyed its most successful year ever in 2022.
Some 9,233 SUVs and supercars were delivered by Lamborghini last year – the first time it has surpassed the 9,000-vehicle milestone.
Lamborghini also posted record-breaking figures for financial performance. Total turnover for the year was €2.38 billion (£2.09 billion), a 22 percent increase compared with 2021.
Operating income also rose by a substantial 56 percent, up to €614 million (£539 million).
Huracan on a high
Paolo Poma, managing director and CFO of Automobili Lamborghini, said: “The economic and geopolitical situation has been tough in recent years, but we’ve been able to show our resilience and our capacity to work towards excellent economic and financial results. Last year was our best ever on all financial and business fronts. It means we can take an optimistic outlook on the growth of our brand and our company.”
The Urus SUV continued as Lamborghini’s most popular model in 2022. With 5,357 examples delivered, Urus sales also increased by seven percent versus 2021.
Deliveries of the Huracan leapt by an impressive 20 percent, to 3,113 units. The off-road-capable Huracan Sterrato (pictured above) will be launched soon, as the final iteration of the V10-powered supercar.
Lastly, in its final year of production, 753 examples of the V12 Aventador were delivered to new owners.
UK in fourth place for sales
The United States remained the top market for Lamborghini sales, followed by China and Germany. The UK occupies fourth place in the chart, with a total of 653 new cars delivered in 2022.
This year will see Lamborghini celebrate its 60th anniversary, and also launch a new plug-in hybrid supercar: the replacement for the Aventador. Look out for an in-depth preview on Motoring Research next week.
Stephan Winkelmann, chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, said: “Our business continues to grow, and we can proudly confirm the achievement of truly remarkable targets once again in 2022. These figures come in a very important year for the company, which is marking its 60th anniversary”.
