Lamborghini to cap car production, building just 3,500 units annually
Lamborghini has vowed to keep its cars exclusive despite an ambitious growth plan for the brand overall.
The company delivered 3,245 cars last year, representing a 28-percent jump over 2014 sales and more than doubling volume from 2010. The climb was driven by the Huracan, with the 'entry-level' Lamborghini accounting for approximately two out of three sales.
The Raging Bull hopes to keep pushing to 7,000 vehicles by 2019, however buyers should not expect showrooms to be flooded with more cars. Chief executive Stefano Domenicali told Reuters that supercar output will be limited to 3,500 units annually, an increase of less than 10 percent over last year's sales.
The Italian marque's growth strategy hinges on the Urus SUV, due to arrive on the market in 2018. Some buyers could be forced to join waiting lists for the Huracan or Aventador, but Domenicali claims the company will "push like hell" to grow Urus sales at a quick pace.
"We will not, clearly, give up on our DNA, which is to produce super sportcars," he promised.
Rival Ferrari is taking a different approach, capping output at 9,000 to 10,000 units by the end of the decade. Chief executive Sergio Marchionne has flatly rejected the idea of a high-riding model adorned with a Prancing Horse badge, earlier this year proclaiming "you have to shoot me first."-2017 LP580-2 [White/Rosso Alala] December Delivery (Includes Sensonum sound system & Ad personam logo stitch in Rosso Alala)
