Though unwilling to spill exactly how many of its low-slung, high-performance cars were sold to excited buyers in 2008, Lamborghini says the year will have been a “record” for the Italian automaker when it comes to a close in a little over a week. Lamborghini intends to deliver its official news at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Lamborghini issued a typically cryptic press release that didn’t spill the beans, but did indicate that it “will deliver another record year’s results in 2008.” Whether this figure applies to number of vehicles sold or profit margins has yet to be revealed.
Lamborghini ’s release does acknowledge that it is “not unaffected” by the slump in economic activities across the world, but says that it is in a “favorable strategic position” and that it continues to maintain a “strong forward order bank,” meaning that there is still a waiting list for Lamborghini vehicles.
Lamborghini says it isn’t laying anyone off, though it did extend the company’s December holiday to eight days.
