Lamborghini might be under sales pressure across Europe but
it is still finding new dealers and has just strengthened
its position in France with a new outlet located in Paris Ouest
which has been inaugurated in the presence of President
and CEO Stephan Winkelmann.
The showroom in 15 Boulevard Gouvion, Saint Cyr is
managed by Lamborghini’s partner Neubauer Group,
professionals in the Parisian luxury car market. The
product range can be seen at the new Lamborghini dealer
including the two current series models: the Gallardo
and the Aventador LP 700-4.
This latest Lamborghini model has won 29 international
awards for its design and technology while the Aventador
has achieved both public and commercial success: all
cars to be manufactured in the first 18 months’
production have already been sold, throughout the world.
Alongside the Aventador is the Gallardo. The last
versions which were presented during 2011 are the Super
Trofeo Stradale, inspired by the Super Trofeo which
races in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo
championship, and the Gallardo Spyder LP550-2 equipped
with rear-wheel drive. The Gallardo product line-up is
the most successful range in the company's entire
history with nearly 12,000 units having been sold since
2003.
Lamborghini finished 2011 with 1,602 cars sold, a 23
percent
year-on-year increase, with the United States re-confirming its
position as the largest market followed by China.
Stephan Winkelmann said during the opening press
conference: “The opening of Lamborghini Paris Ouest
represents a further stage in plans to strengthen the
Lamborghini sales network in France and the world. Our
partner Neubauer has opened this new dealership with
total commitment to representing the excellence and
prestige of the Lamborghini brand in the city of Paris.”
With the opening of Lamborghini Paris Ouest, Lamborghini
now has five points of sales and aftersales in France:
two in Paris, and locations in Mulhouse and Lyon, and in
addition a showroom in Monte Carlo. Worldwide
Lamborghini has more than 120 dealers in 45 countries.
“2011 was an intense and extremely successful year,
including the triumph of the Aventador: the symbol of
our continual thrust towards innovation and anticipation
of new trends," believes Stephan Winkelmann. "The
Italian and international economic situation, especially
in Europe, however, continues to be tough. This is why
our preparations for 2012 include the consolidation of
results achieved in 2011 and during which we will
certainly enjoy the benefits of Aventador sales. In true
Lamborghini tradition, we will present new developments
which will cause a sensation. The sense of challenge,
passion and innovation will continue to inspire our main
lines of action: development, production and the sale of
new models; improving working conditions and
environmental sustainability.”
