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.

Austin Powers’ 1967 ‘Shaguar’ E-Type is going up for auction
Austin Powers' Shaguar is being auctioned off in January

For those who had their formative years around the mid-to-late 1990s and early 2000s, it was all but impossible to ignore the comedic cultural influence that the Austin Powers movie franchise beset upon the cinematic viewing community. Imitating Mike Myers' secret agent with a "Yeah, baby!" or his villainous alter ego Dr. Evil by putting pinky to lips saying, "Throw me a frickin' bone here."

Let's also not forget how the word "Shag" (or variations thereof) was used so gratuitously in an effort to overemphasize the nature of secret agent movies' formulaic torrid, satirically (and often deadly) love affairs that it became part of the (American) English lexicon for the better part of a decade.

F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix: Four teams dress up with special race care livery
Alpine, Kick Sauber, Visa Cash App RB, and Williams dress up for Vegas
Visa Cash App RB F1 Team 2024 Las Vegas livery.

Alpine, Kick Sauber, Visa Cash App RB, and Williams Racing all adopted special looks for the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix 2024. There's no single reason why Formula 1 racing teams adopt special paint jobs and graphics for individual races. Sometimes, it's to promote a sponsored event, such as a Marvel film debut. Earlier this year, Haas and Alpine had unique livery for the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.

Whatever the reasons for the one-time race car appearance changes, if there's any place to dress up, it's gotta be Vegas. We'll have to wait for the next race in Qatar to see whether, with livery as with other things, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
