BOLOGNA (Italy): Automobili Lamborghini is starting 2011 on an upbeat mood with more than 12 months’ production of its Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 already sold out before deliveries even start in the second half of the year.



Lamborghini will also start deliveries this spring of its Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante.



The Performante comes as the open version of the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera, thus completing a range that also comprises the Gallardo LP 560-4 coupe, the Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder and the Gallardo LP 550-2 coupe.

In 2010, Lamborghini delivered a total of 1,302 units to customers worldwide.



The difference versus 2009 (1,515 units) was due to the run-out of the Murcielago in May 2010. Sales for the remaining seven months of the year were based on the production of just one model, the Gallardo.



Altogether, over a 10-year production period, 4,099 Murcielago units were delivered to customers, making the outgoing 12-cylinder one of the most sought-after super sports cars in automotive history and the absolute best seller in Lamborghini’s 12-cylinder history.



In 2010, China has risen to become Lamborghini’s second largest market after the United States, leading the traditional European markets.
