I on the other hand love the Urus, but not that one that looks like yesterdays drunken barf.

I'll admit that they do sound really good but like most modern Lamborghini's, I find them hideous.

Then I can never be friends with you, not if you go around making blasphemous statements like that. I love the new Lambos. So purposeful and aggressive. You can't mistake them for anything else.

Then I feel perfectly happy admitting that driving a Lamborghini Gallardo with eGear gearbox was one of the most disappointing drives ever. eGear was horrendous but I drove the Gallardo after driving a Porsche 911 GT3RS Manual so maybe the Gallardo was always going to disappoint.

Yeah, I can imagine those old lambos not being the best to drive.

I have to admit that comparing a Gallardo to a more track focused car like a GT3 RS isn't exactly fair.

I Lambo Cap town has a gallardo for sale, looks bloody good. Good albeit a bit bland in comparison to the newer models.

Feeling bullish: Lamborghini's CEO on the marque's future plans
Stephan Winkelmann has taken over Lamborghini in a state of fine fettle. We hear how he'll push on
When Stephan Winkelmann returned to Sant’Agata Bolognese to begin his second stint at the helm of Lamborghini in December last year, he took over a company that, despite everything, was in rude health.
Defying the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Italian supercar maker achieved the second-highest annual sales figure in its 58-year history (eclipsed only by 2019) and set a company record for profitability. In the first three months of 2021, it also set a new record for quarterly sales, with 2422 cars delivered, and it already has orders to cover the next nine months of production. No wonder there’s interest in buying Lamborghini – and why the Volkswagen Group insists it’s not for sale.
And yet, since his return, Winkelmann has been plotting how to ‘reinvent’ Lamborghini. The result is the bold (and extravagantly named) Direzione Cor Tauri plan, which includes targets to electrify its entire line-up by 2024 and add its first fully electric model by the end of the decade.
“On my return, one of the first things we did was all sit down together to understand how we can bring the company to the next level,” says the 56-year-old German, talking to Autocar before news of a takeover bid emerged. Of course, the push to further transform Lamborghini is partly because new EU emissions laws will force it to change. “One of the biggest goals, if not the biggest goal, is the reduction of CO2 emissions,” says Winkelmann. “This is a challenge for all brands, but it’s even more difficult for super-sports car brands. The reduction of CO2 emissions is a must, but we need to keep the DNA required to maintain super-sports car performance that’s equal to, if not even better than, today’s. That’s the challenge we’re giving ourselves.”
The result was the Urus, which Lamborghini unveiled in concept form in 2012 before it was finally launched in 2018. It took a massive investment, including the construction of a new state-of-the-art production plant at Sant’Agata. As an SUV, the Urus was a bold, controversial step away from Lamborghini’s existing supercar line-up, but with a lower price and aimed at a growing market segment, it also significantly broadened the marque’s horizons.
“With the Urus, we now have three model lines, and we’ve increased turnover by seven compared with 2005,” notes Winkelmann. The impact is clear: of the record 2422 cars the firm sold in the first quarter of 2021, 1382 were Uruses.

Urus still the best-selling Lamborghini as brand records record sales
Lamborghini enjoyed record sales in the first half of 2021, mostly thanks to particularly strong demand for its Urus SUV. The Italian supercar specialist managed to sell 4 852 vehicles in the first six months of the year, representing a 37% increase over the same period in 2020 and a 6,6% improvement over 2019, which is probably a more fair comparison.
The Urus SUV accounted for 2 796 units, or 57,6% of Lamborghini’s total, with sales having increased by 35% year-on-year. It has essentially become the marque’s cash cow, much like the Cayenne has become for Porsche. The second most popular Lamborghini in H1 was the Huracan, with 1 532 sales, an increase of 46% year-on-year. Finally, the Aventador managed just 252 sales, up 21%, although it’s worth noting that the flagship supercar is at the end of its life cycle. Lamborghini recently revealed the LP 780-4 Ultimae as the final Aventador model, and fittingly it’s also the fastest, with Lamborghini claiming a 2,8-second 0-100 km/h sprint time. The Aventador is set to make way for a hybrid model that’s due in 2023.
Lamborghini’s biggest market in the first six months of 2021 was the United States, which accounted for 1 502 sales. This was followed by China, Hong Kong and Macau, with 602 collective sales, and Germany, which recorded 391. These were followed by the UK (318), Japan (258), the Middle East (226) and Italy (197).

How long until Lamborghini Urus sales overtake every V12 Lambo ever?
Mega-SUV no. 15,000 has left the factory. It’ll soon be the most common type of Lambo…
Here’s some mathematics for your Tuesday. How many mid-engine V12-powered Lamborghini supercars do you suppose have been made?
Historically, this question starts easily. Only 764 examples of the stunning Miura were produced. Versions of its successor – the outrageous Countach – were made 1,983 times between 1974 and 1990.
The Diablo added another 2,884 units in the Nineties until it was superseded by the new millennium’s Murcielago, which took Lamborghini into a new realm with 4,099 sales in its nine-year life.
So, that’s 9,730 V12-powered flagship Lambo-kind before we get to the current model, which is doing very nicely.
As of September 2020, Sant’Agata celebrated its 10,000th Aventador. The king of the bulls is still in production today, seeing out its days with the 769bhp Ultimate edition.
Give or take a few Sian, Reventon and speedster-shaped specials, we reckon Lamborghini has made at least 20,000 mid-engined V12 cars over its long, colourful history. And why are we telling you this?
