Lamborghini Is Selling More Cars Than Ever. But It's Not All Good News
Lamborghini released financial results for the first half of 2025 on Wednesday, revealing record sales for the period. But it's not all good news in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Revenue remained flat year-over-year, while operating profit fell by nearly 5 percent. The Italian carmaker says the drop is "primarily due to the unfavorable exchange rate trends in the last quarter," though if we had to guess, tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump were likely also a factor. "The results from the first six months of 2025 are solid despite global economic and political instability, confirming that the decision to hybridize the entire range was the right one," CEO Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. Lamborghini delivered 5,681 cars in the first six months of 2025, an increase of over 2 percent compared to the same period last year. The combined regions of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa led the way, with 2,708 units sold. They were followed by the Americas, with 1,732 units sold. The Asia-Pacific region pulled in 1,241 sales. Winkelmann attributes the strong sales to the company's two latest models, the V-12-powered Revuelto flagship and the large-volume Urus SE utility vehicle. "The success of the Revuelto and Urus SE demonstrates that our vision is shared by our customers, and we now look forward to the market launch of the Temerario, which will complete the first fully hybrid range in the segment," he said. Lamborghini Urus SE While sales increased, operating profit dropped by around 27 million euros ($31 million) year-over-year, to 431 million euros. Profitability remained high, however, dropping only slightly, from 28.2 percent to 26.6 percent. 'In the current macroeconomic and geopolitical context, the financial and business performance of the first half of 2025 demonstrates the resilience we have built over the years, and confirms once again the brand's positioning among the leading players in the luxury sector," CFO Paolo Poma said in a statement. While it's impossible to tell where the future will take Lamborghini, we don't suspect its growth to subside any time soon. The company's Huracán replacement, the Temerario , is set to begin deliveries any day now, which should bolster sales going into the second half of the year—tariffs be damned. Beyond that, things are less clear. Earlier this month, Lamborghini walked back previous plans to introduce an all-electric Urus. Now, that car, set to be introduced in 2029, will be a hybrid instead. Last week, Winkelmann suggested the company's first EV, based on the Lanzador concept, might end up not being an EV at all , but rather another hybrid. Considering how well the hybrid thing is going for Lamborghini right now, those might not be bad decisions. Only time will tell.

Lamborghini's half-year operating profit slips on currency effects
MILAN (Reuters) -Italian luxury sports car maker Lamborghini said on Wednesday its operating income fell slightly in the first half even as it delivered record numbers of cars to customers, as currency effects weighed on its bottom line. Operating income stood at 431 million euros ($497 million) in the January to June period versus 458 million euros a year earlier, primarily due to unfavourable exchange rate trends in the second quarter, the company said in a statement. "The results... are solid despite global economic and political instability," CEO Stephan Winkelmann said. Net revenues amounted to 1.62 billion euros in the period as the carmaker, part of Germany's Volkswagen, delivered 5,681 cars, its highest amount ever for a first half. Its operating profit margin fell to 26.6% from 28.3% a year earlier. Winkelmann said the results confirmed that a decision to make all Lamborghini's range hybrid was the right one, as shown by the success of the Revuelto sportscar, its first plug-in hybrid, launched in 2023, and of the Urus SE SUV. "Our vision is shared by our customers," he said. "We now look forward to the market launch of the Temerario, which will complete the first fully hybrid range in the segment". Lamborghini, based near Bologna in Northern Italy, did not make any reference to Sunday's EU-U.S. framework trade deal, which imposed a 15% U.S. import tariff on most EU goods, despite the Americas region accounting for around 30% of its deliveries in the first half, or 1,732 cars. The Europe, Middle East and Africa region led deliveries in the period with 2,708 units, while Asia Pacific accounted for 1,241 units. Earlier this year Winkelmann said U.S. tariffs would have an impact on Lamborghini's revenue even though luxury product makers can pass on potential tariffs to customers, as there was a "sweet point" beyond which "you lose volumes".
