Lamborghini Cars in India

Ferruccio Lamborghini, an Italian manufacturing magnate, founded Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. in 1963 to compete with established marques like Ferrari. In fact, Lamborghini cars were born as a response to Enzo Ferrari’s insulting remarks about Ferruccio’s car designing capabilities. Ferruccio took it upon himself to find a fitting reply to Enzo’s pride and arrogance. After launching the 350 GT and the 400 GT, it was only in 1966 that the company gained wide acclaim and recognition for its Miura sports coupé, which established rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive as the standard layout for high-performance cars of the era.

Lamborghini grew rapidly during its first decade but sales plunged in the wake of the 1973 worldwide financial downturn and the oil crisis. The firm's ownership changed three times after 1973, including a bankruptcy in 1978. American Chrysler Corporation took control of Lamborghini in 1987 and sold it to the Malaysian investment group Mycom Setdco and Indonesian group VPower Corporation in 1994. In 1998, Mycom Setdco and VPower sold Lamborghini to the Volkswagen Group where it was placed under the control of the group's Audi division.

In 2011, Lamborghini reached the Indian shores by appointing Exclusive Motors in Delhi as its sole distributor in India. Imported as CBUs, Lamborghini car prices, since the beginning, established them as a niche in the Indian market. This was the first Lamborghini distributorship in the country. In 2012, Lamborghini went on to expand its footprint by appointing Autohangar of Mumbai as its second distributor. Finally, in 2013, Lamborghini established its own national sales company and opened its new dealership at Delhi’s Mathura Road, followed by another one in Bengaluru in 2014. In 2018, Lamborghini launched its much-awaited Urus SUV in India.

Initially, the new Lamborghini cars offered in India were the Gallardo and the Aventador LP 700-4. The range of Lamborghini cars in India (as of 2018) consists of the Huracan, Aventador and the Urus.

As the global emission standards are getting stricter with each passing year, it is being speculated that future Lamborghini car models will feature smaller, turbocharged power units. While the flagship models will continue the V12 tradition. Since these are classified as super.

Lamborghini car prices in India start from around 3 crore rupees for the 2018 Urus. All Lamborghini car price listings can be found on the website of autoX.
