Lamborghini has released its pre-tax profits for 2008, and the supercar manufacturer netted a total of 60 million euros ($79.6 million) last year for a 27% increase over 2007. Overall sales were up a scant 2.5%, eclipsing the previous year’s sales record (2,406 vehicles) with 2,430 cars sold worldwide. The increase in sales is attributed [...]
Some automakers run their racing programs in-house, and some choose to out-source. While its principal rival falls under the former, Lamborghini opts for the latter, giving its blessing to German motorsport garage Reiter Engineering to campaign race-prepped Raging Bulls in European sportscar series. Earlier this month we brought you the first details and images on [...]
Forget about the latest LP560-4 or the limited-production Superleggera that preceded it: what you’re looking at here is the ultimate Gallardo. Only it’s not made by Lamborghini. Unlike its arch-rivals in Maranello, Lamborghini doesn’t make racing cars. For that, it turns over its supercars to Reiter Engineering, the German garage that fields renn-ready Raging Bulls [...]
Imagine this scenario: You’ve gone out of town for whatever reason, driving your Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. (If we had a Gallardo, you’d bet that taking road trips would be high on the agenda).

Lamborghini said it was going to make just 20 examples of the Reventon. And it did. But the raging bull didn’t say anything about following that run up with some Reventon roadsters. At least, that’s the talk coming out of the UK, where “a very reliable source inside Lamborghini” has dropped the news that nine [...]
After a series of stories surfaced over the weekend reporting the demise of the Lamborghini Estoque, the supercar manufacturer has issued a statement addressing the rumors. According to Lamborghini, the Estoque has not been killed off, but it hasn’t been approved for production either.
The release continues to tow the company line that if a new [...]
The worldwide collapse of car sales has hit everyone in the past six months, and super-expensive high-end cars are no exception. With no immediate signs of either a general economic recovery or an auto sales boost on the horizon, now hardly seems like the time to develop an all-new exotic sedan. With that in mind, [...]
