The economic crisis does not affect the luxury sector. The Italian manufacturer Lamborghini announced this filled the entire order book for the next two years. An unprecedented situation that confirms the growing success of luxury cars.
Eighteen months of waiting for a Lamborghini
If you’re lucky enough to win the lottery in the next few days, know that you’ll have to wait more than eighteen months to hope to get your Lamborghini. The waiting time is especially long vehicles on average 250,000 euros. An expectation that is explained primarily by the growing success of Lamborghini. The manufacturer fixes the operating margin in the amount 425 million euros since the beginning of the year.
The management of the Italian brand announced that more than 5000 cars in the first half of this year 2022. Brand CEO Stefan Winkelmann confirms this waiting period, “we have very high demand and currently have a backlog of more than eighteen months”. It should also be noted that luxury manufacturers also have to deal with multiple shortages that have affected the auto industry since the beginning of the year. This also increases the delivery time.
Among the best-selling models we obviously find the Urus, a sports SUV that is a hit, as well as the Huracan, a sports car that is very popular with customers. Lamborghini also benefits from the success of the Countach LPI-800-4 reissue, sold for 3 million euros.

Lamborghini is preparing for the appearance of hybrids and electricity
The current success of Lamborghini models allows the brand to save time onthe future arrival of hybrid and then electric models. According to the schedule presented by Lamborghini, the first hybrid model will arrive in late 2024 or early 2025. However, we’ll have to wait until at least 2028 to see the brand’s first electric model. Lamborghini plans to spend approx 1.5 billion euros to ensure its transition to electricity.
The imminent arrival of hybrid engines, combined with the current success of thermal sports cars, allows Lamborghini to calmly consider its immediate future. A surprising discovery as the global economy continues to shrink.
