For all the mixed economic data points we saw regarding the health of the economy, there is one segment that is alive and well and that’s luxury goods.

Need any more proof than 3,815 Lamborghini’s? At $200,000 for a “base model” — if there is a such a thing — the emerging wealthy across the world are snatching up these supercars in record numbers.  When folks ask us why Volkswagen is part of our Luxury Goods thematic index, we just point to stats like this. (For those that don’t know, VW owns Lamborghini, as well as Audi, Bentley, Bugatti and Porsche.) The power in luxury goods comes from the fact that even tough economic times, there are always those with economic means to separate themselves with THE purchase that will show they “have arrived”.

A new roaring record! In 2017, we delivered 3,815 #Lamborghini masterpieces to clients all over the world, up 10% from 2016. With #Urus, the world’s first SSUV, and our doubled production capacity, we’re aiming even higher in #2018. Join us on this breathtaking journey!
