Automobili Lamborghini has announced a record number of sales in the first half of the current year. From January-June 2023, the carmaker reported a total sales of 5,341 units. This is 4.9 percent higher than the same period last year.
This strong performance of the Sant’Agata Bolognese based company is thanks to increased demand of the Huracan and the Urus SUV.

China, Hong Kong and Macau reported 450 units while Japan had 280 sales and Italy reported sales of 270 units. All these numbers are from H1 2023.
Revenue-wise, the company’s numbers increased by 6.7 percent to Euro 1.42 billion. Meanwhile the operating income too jumped 7.2 percent to Euro 456 million. Hence, the return on sales improved by 32.1 percent.
Lamborghini is no longer accepting bookings for the Urus and Huracan. The production of these is already sold out and these models are set for discontinuation by 2nd half of 2024. While Urus will be back as a plug-in hybrid, Huracan will be replaced by a successor. The latter has already been spotted testing.
Meanwhile, the Revulto has also been showcasing strong demand. The order books for this model are sold out till the end of 2025.
