Lamborghini seeks India drive

ITALIAN super sports car maker Lamborghini is banking on a “healthy order book” to prevent a decline in sales in India this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the company said.

While new orders are slow to come by, Lamborghini India said it had not seen any cancellations of bookings, although some customers sought deliveries to be deferred due to the pandemic.

“We still have a strong order bank for Urus. Also we launched the new Evo RWD in the beginning of the year. This helped us to build the order bank for the year, which will be acting as a big support in terms of getting some decent numbers this year,” said Lamborghini India head Sharad Agarwal.

The company sold 52 units of its super luxury vehicles, priced upwards of `25 million (£268,261) in India last year.

“We may not hit the same number as last year but this order bank will definitely support us in (preventing) a decline,” Agarwal added.
