Lamborghini’s production for 2008 fully booked

"We are concentrating on a healthy and controlled growth of roughly 5% per year," Chief Executive Stefan Winkelmann said in an interview to be published on Thursday.

Sales increased from 2087 units in 2006 to 2 400 sports cars in 2007. The group’s pretax profit margin of 10.4% in the first half of 2007 did not contract in the second half. "Our first half profit was €26.4m and we booked a double-digit million euro amount in the second half as well," he continued.

Winkelmann expects the sales mix this year to be comparable to the 1 800 Gallardos and 600 Murcielago LP640s it sold in 2007.
