Italian supercar maker Lamborghini, now owned by the Volkswagen group, has set up its second dealership in India, at the Indian capital of New Delhi. The Delhi dealership, located on Mathura road, was inaugurated by Lamborghini CEO, Mr Stephan Winkelmann, and is spread across 4000 square feet.



The dealership will retail two lines of Lamborghini supercars: the Aventador and the Gallardo. The Gallardo range starts at 2.8 crore rupees and comprises of the Coupe, Spyder, Super Leggera, Gallardo LP 560 4 and LP 570 4 Edizione Tecnica. The Aventador range starts at 4.77 crore rupees and comprises of the coupe 700 4 and the roadster 700 4.



All Lamborghini supercars sold in India are completely built units (CBU) that are imported directly from the solitary Lamborghini factory at Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. The Italian brand has sold about 90 supercars in India till date, with 17 supercars sold last year through the official Mumbai dealership. The car maker plans to sell 20 supercars this year.

In the next few years, the brand expects to sell 30-40 units of its supercars each year. Given the fact that Lamborghini is developing a high performance SUV dubbed the Urus, due for a 2017 launch, the Italian car maker's targeted sales of 30-40 yearly units in India could exceed expectations.



In the Indian market, young, high net worth individuals will be the brand's targeted buyers. Globally, Lamborghini sold about 2,000 supercars last year, with the major demand coming from the United States and China, followed by markets in the Middle East, UK and Japan. This year, Lamborghini plans to better last year's sales numbers.



The only other Lamborghini dealership in India is situated at Mumbai. Lamborghini's third dealership will come up shortly at Bangalore, with the supercar maker delivering the finishing touches to the dealership situated on the tony Lavelle Road. The Italian car maker recently launched the India Limited Edition version of the Gallardo.
