Automobil Lamborghini is having a great year. During the first six months of 2024, the Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy-based luxury performance car manufacturer, scored record sales of the Lamborghini Revuelto, Urus, and Huracán super sports cars. The high sales numbers, which resulted in strong revenue growth and increased operating profit, mean you might wait a bit longer for new orders. Lamborghini’s goal of increasing its model lineup requires substantial resources, and this year’s deliveries are a good sign for the future.

Success scoreboard

Lamborghini celebrates record 2024 H1 sales.
Lamborghini delivered 5,558 cars in the first six months of the year, spread evenly in its three major marketing areas. EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) accounted for 2,498 deliveries, with 1,849 in the Americas and 1,211 in the APAC (Asia-Pacific) market.

The top three markets are the United States (1,621 deliveries), Germany (565), and the United Kingdom (514), followed by Japan (354), the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao 337), and Italy (268).

Lamborghini’s revenues were up 14.1% in the first half, and operating profitability grew impressively to 28.2%. These numbers give the company confidence as it transforms its vehicles into hybrid powertrains.

What Lambo’s financial wins mean for future customers

Order books are still open for two current models, but new orders will take a while. The Lamborghini Huracán production run is entirely spoken for, and the company expects to shut down the line in December. The factory also projects that new orders for the Revuelto will take more than two years. You’ll have a shorter wait for the Urus, introduced in Beijing in April. The current Uru wait time is about one year.

If you’re ready for the next step in Lamborghini’s model progression, check into Monterey Car Week on August 16. That’s when Lamborghini will unveil the Huracán’s successor.

It's Charles Leclerc's first win in almost two years
Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton

Charles Leclerc earned his first victory in almost two years for Ferrari. Unfortunately for him, all the chatter around the British Grand Prix will be about its controversial ending that resulted in the 175,000-strong crowd at Silverstone booing after they were denied a dramatic finish.

The record crowd at Silverstone was in for a thriller from the start, with Leclerc staking claim to the lead, followed by Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton behind him. 19-year-old phenom Kimi Antonelli didn't need long to take over Hamilton. And it seemed like Antonelli was positioning himself for a stunning sixth Formula 1 victory, taking the lead after Leclerc made a pit stop.

Architecture, Building, Office Building

Many things make you think of America, cowboy hats, bald eagles, air conditioning. But Rolls-Royce might be one of the last things that spring to mind when you're thinking of the U S of A.

Despite the German-owned luxury marque being about as British as it gets, Rolls has decided to celebrate the USA’s 250th birthday by delivering three vehicles. One in red, one in white, and one in blue. According to Rolls, this collection consists of a Bohemian Red Cullinan which “represented the strength, courage and entrepreneurial spirit that have defined America for 250 years.” An English White Phantom which “reflects the nation's founding ideals, timeless elegance and enduring pursuit of excellence.” and a Iguazu Blue Ghost which “symbolizes innovation, optimism and the limitless horizons that continue to define the American spirit.”
