Lamborghini Malaysia has done well this year with the dealership selling 38 supercars this year compared to 25 luxury vehicles in 2017.

Managing Director Marcus Chye said the best-selling model was the Lamborghini Huracán Performante (above) and there were better product line-ups this year hence the better sales.

“Moving forward, sales would augur well in first quarter 2019 with the introduction of the Aventador SVJ, launched three weeks ago at Pebble Beach, California, as it already has 15 orders and the demand will pick up,” he told reporters at the brand's refurbished showroom launch in Kuala Lumpur today.

The showroom reflects the need for increased space with the company's recent expansion of its model line-up.

Spanning over 12,494 sq ft with seven service bays, the complex is Lamborghini Malaysia's largest showroom to date. Costing RM3 million, it is also a 3S (sales, service and spare parts) centre.

Automobili Lamborghini Chief Executive Officer Asia Pacific, Matteo Ortenzi said Lamborghini is a strong, highly-acclaimed brand worldwide, and its new dealership environment was a very tangible demonstration of this.

“We are committed to building a solid dealer network that clearly communicates our brand to loyal and new clients in both the way we look and the way we operate,” said Ortenzi.

There are about 300 Lamborghinis in Malaysia, including parallel imports although these cars differ in after-sales technical support, he said.

Meanwhile, Chye said customers will get used to the sales and services tax implemented by the new government, noting its minor impact because Lamborghinis were a "dream purchase". - Bernama
