Lamborghini announced today that it sold 2,539 vehicles globally in the first three months of 2022, recording the best-ever quarter in the Italian brand’s history.
A five percent increase over its performance in 2021, the gain is notable because that was a banner year for the Italian supercar manufacturer. Lamborghini sold a total of 8,405 vehicles between January and December 2021, making that the automaker’s best sales year on record.
“We’ve made a solid start to a year that will bring new challenges on a global scale,” said Stephan Winkelman, CEO of Lamborghini. “Every month the orders we take outstrip our output. We currently have enough to comfortably cover more than 12 months of production.”

The automaker divides the world into three macro-regions, and the best-performing one is what it calls EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), which together made up 40 percent of the brand’s sales. The Americas made up 32 percent of sales, while the Asia Pacific region took home 28 percent of the world’s Lambos in Q1. Almost all markets saw sales increases apart from Russia, where it has suspended business operations.
The majority of customers opted to buy Lamborghini’s SUV, with the Urus making up almost 61 percent of the brand’s sales. In all, the automaker sold 1,547 Uruses, 844 Huracans, and 148 Aventadors, which is reaching the end of its production cycle.
Despite its small sales, the automaker is excited about the Aventador’s follow-up, a hybrid V12 supercar that will arrive in 2023. In the nearer term, Lamborghini has three more new product announcements planned for 2022, including two variants for the Urus and one for the Huracán, which should help buoy its sales further.
