“Record sales were achieved in the first six months of this year, due to additions in the Huracán family such as the Spyder and rear wheel-drive models. The Japanese sales performance has been very solid, helping to keep it in the top three markets worldwide, and we believe Lamborghini will see further growth in Japan.”

An inaugural ”Lamborghini Day Concours d’Elegance TOKYO 2016”, also took place, with 36 historic Lamborghini models displayed in a competitive exhibition, including icons such as Miura, Countach, Diablo and many classic Lamborghini cars.
