Under the Radar: Lamborghini’s on its new Revuelto supercars; On 2022 being its record breaking year; Demand for trophy cars among the wealthy; Asia as a key market and China as a wild card
Supercars are on our agenda today, and this time, we want to talk about luxury car brand Lamborghini and its new hybrid model, the Revuelto.
Priced at around US$600,000, the Revuelto is Lamborghini’s first ever plug-in hybrid.
The model, which was launched just back in March, already has a waiting list and two years worth of orders by mid-April, signalling the strength of the wealthy consumer amid a global economic slowdown.
But what will the rollout of the model look like with production scheduled to start in the second half of this year and delivery to the US to begin in the fourth quarter?
Meanwhile, Automobili Lamborghini also reported a record breaking year for 2022. The company saw its best sales figure and delivered 9,233 cars worldwide - a 10 per cent increase over the previous year.
To what extent was this contributed by Asia and to what extent is the Chinese market a wild card?
On Under the Radar, Drive Time’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Francesco Scardaoni, Region Director for Automobili Lamborghini Asia Pacific.
