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.

One of the rarest Porsches ever assembled is set to go under the hammer in Florida. Records suggest only 12 Factory Works 914/6 GTs were ever built. Despite this, the vehicle carved out a strong racing legacy and comes to auction in pristine condition.

While it’s essentially a racing version of the popular 914, the difference in the two vehicles is immense. In terms of performance, the Porsche’s naturally aspirated, twin-carb, 1,991 CC Type 901/25 Twin-Plug SOHC flat-6 engine can churn out a maximum of 210 BHP. A number of tunings were available for the engine, with this example of the Factory Works 914.6 GT receiving the 901/25 Carrera 6 variant. Or “the most powerful one” if you want to put it in layman’s terms.
