The Italian Luxury sports car giant Lamborghini has once again embraced the country with the latest offering from its stable – The Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2. Priced at approximately INR 3 crores, it is a two-wheeled drive version of the legendary Italian sports car marquee’s popular Huracan coupe. Launched within just three days of the global launch, it goes to prove that the Indian market continues to hold its own on the luxury map and that the luxury car maker has is going bullish with its promotions in the domestic market.
Speaking at the launch event, Pavan Shetty, Head, Lamborgini India, said, “Takers for the luxury sports car in India are only growing with upward mobilization and more awareness about the brand. It is no more just about style statement, it is about ownership of a superior make by those who understand the nitty-gritty of it.” The swanky two-seater, which zooms with a pick-up of 0-100 kms in 3.4 seconds, has a dual clutch and designed for the first time keeping in mind a two-wheel drive. The wheels at 19 inches is an inch smaller, and the entire car is lighter than before; all going to make the drive more exciting, engaging and pure.
With 60 percent weight at the rear, allotting most of the power to two wheels, makes the drive rather exhilarating and fun. “It is clearly different from the previous makes, as the front and rear have been redesigned accenting a young, fresh and more assertive look, while highlighting the aeronautical styling,” says Shetty. Going by the uber sleek look, hi-tech console, and serious potential buyers hovering around inspecting with all seriousness, this car means serious business.
While the primary buyers are from metro cities, Shetty says, “about 35 percent come from tier-II cities, amongst which some are women”. The buyers are so well informed that the company has to continuously put their staff through training and upgrade their knowledge, to serve the highly evolved customer. The servicing arrangement is also highly personalised, with the backup of a team to reach a client in need, just in case a concern ever arises.
Lamborghini entered the country in 2006, and at present retails the Aventador and the Huracan in two-wheel and four-wheel versions.
