Lamborghini had yet another record-breaking year in 2022, following outstanding figures from 2021 and reaching unprecedented milestones.

The Sant’Agata Bolognese company follows the announcement that 9233 cars were delivered last year, and Lamborghini posted record-breaking figures in terms of turnover. It topped €2 billion (NZ$3.4b)for the first time ever with a 56 percent increase in operating income compared to 2021.

Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, said the 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 and entering the second phase of the Direzione Cor Tauri program: an unparalleled investment plan that will guide our growth, lead to further improvements in our financial performance, and boost the value of our brand and our company.”

The signs were extremely positive in all macro-regions, with distribution remaining even and consistent with the Lamborghini strategy. 

The Urus Super SUV built on its success and led the way with 5367 units delivered (up 7 percent on 2021). Next in line – and experiencing a significant increase – came the Huracán (3113 units delivered, up 20 percent on 2021) and the Aventador (753 units delivered), which reached the end of its production run in September 2022.

In New Zealand, 29 Lamborghinis were registered in 2022.

With 2023 the year of Lamborghini’s 60th anniversary, will also be the beginning of a new era in the company’s history. The launch of the new V12 super sports car – the first plug-in hybrid from Sant’Agata Bolognese – will be the first step towards the hybridisation of the entire model range, concluded at the end of 2024.
