Mr. Sharad Agarwal, Head, Lamborghini India, accepts the award for the Huracan LP610-4.
How has 2016 been for Lamborghini in India, and how do you see the market progressing in the short term?
I think it’s been a good year for us. This year, we introduced two new models in the Indian market. In the first half of the year, we introduced the Huracan Spyder – a product that combines both the lifestyle and performance aspects of a sports car. The Spider was aimed to satisfy the more lifestyle oriented customers. And we also introduced the Huracan Avio, which is a tribute to the world of aviation. This was also an opportunity for us to showcase a limited edition version of the Huracan to Indian customers, and offer them the opportunity to be one among the 250 lucky individuals globally who could own this limited edition example. So, I would say it’s been a good year for us, and, fortunately, the industry has also been doing quite well. And I expect the industry to grow in double digits this year, which is a very positive sign for the market. And we’ll continue to maintain our number one position in our segment in India.
Has the Huracan lead to the kind of sales increase that you were hoping for?
