Lamborghini 2004
A record 2004 for Automobili Lamborghini
2004 was a record year for Automobili Lamborghini in terms of sales and production. Sales of Lamborghini supercars increased by 22% in 2004, with a record 1,592 units being sold around the world (1,305 in 2003). Of this number, 1,215 were Gallardos and 377 were Murciélagos; 65 of these Murciélagos were Roadsters, destined mainly for the North American market. Total sales of Lamborghini's 500 PS Gallardo now stand at over 2,000 cars (1,215 in 2004, 890 in 2003), which means it is already the 2nd best-selling Lamborghini ever. The United States of America remained Automobili Lamborghini's most important market in 2004, representing 41% of total sales. Germany, which represents 13% of global sales, is the most important European market, followed by Great Britain with 9%. Italy - a market which is destined to grow - accounts for 5%. In Asia, Japan is the most important market with 8% of global sales in 2004. In the past twelve months, the House of Sant'Agata Bolognese has produced 1,678 supercars, an increase of 23.7% (1,357 in 2003). Of the 2004 production, 1,294 are represented by the ten-cylinder Gallardo and 384 by the twelve-cylinder Murciélago; 80 of the latter are Roadsters. Lamborghini revenues in 2004 grew to e243 million (e200 million in 2003) and with a positive result. The number of personnel employed by Automobili Lamborghini has also increased, moving up to 726 in 2004 (685 in 2003).

Iwan! Es ist gefährlich, solche Bilder ohne Warnung zu posten – ich wäre beinahe erblindet...
 Und spontan kam mir in den Sinn: Wieso müssen alle neuen Autos hässlich sein? Böse Verschwörung unter den Designern oder wieder mal kollektiver schlechter Geschmack. (Wer wissen will, was ich meine, soll in seinen Erinnerungen mal in die Modewelt der 70er und 80er zurückblättern. Anscheindend trifft es jetzt die Autos.) Gruss Simonne

Hätte nie gedacht, dass ich jemals so was sagen würde: Das Ende naht (hoffentlich!) in grossen Schritten!!! Wenn so Zeug auf die Strasse kommt, dann weiss ich echt nicht, was in die Käufer gefahren ist. Aber das habe ich mich schon beim A2 und dem Agila gefragt... Die hätten doch aus dem Multipla lernen können! Das Konzept wäre voll aufgegangen, wenn er bloss nicht so hässlich wäre. Auch die Sparte haben sie verschenkt, jetzt schmeissen sie auch noch die untere Mittelklasse weg! Was bleibt denn noch? Kleinwagenkonzepte, welche sie eh nicht realisieren und warten bis es andere tun? Aus dem Fiat-Konzern kaufe ich mir jedenfalls definitiv nichts mehr (ausser Oldies, aber das ist ein anderes Thema) fertig, aus. Wenn ich schon ein hässliches Auto kaufen muss, dann lieber eines, das einen guten Wiederverkaufswert hat...

Limited Edition Lotus Sport Exige 240R
Lotus Sport, the performance division of Lotus Cars Ltd., has developed the Lotus Sport Exige 240R, a limited edition high performance sportscar with total global build volumes kept strictly to 50 cars.
Lotus Sport will build the Lotus Sport Exige 240R within its facilities at the Group Lotus Headquarters in Hethel, Norfolk. This facility, located in the centre of the famous Hethel Test Track, has a great history of producing bespoke versions of Lotus products and can list the Lotus Sport Exige 400 hp racecar and over 100 Elise and Exige racing cars in its portfolio. With a supercharged and intercooled high revving engine producing over 240 hp and over 170 lbft of torque, the Lotus Sport Exige 240R reaches 60 mph in less than 4 seconds and 100 mph (160 km/h) in less than 10 seconds before topping out at 155 mph (249 km/h). At this top speed the advanced aerodynamics produce 113 kg of downforce increasing grip, stability and safety. The 50 versions of the Lotus Sport Exige 240R will be built as post registration official factory conversions of new Lotus Exiges. Up to 40 of these cars will be sold in the EU and the balance is intended to be predominantly sold in Japan. The suffix of 240R indicates the approximate horsepower of the engine, conservatively rounded down from the actual figure of 243 hp (181 kW, 247 PS). The total unladen weight is approximately 930 kg and the power to weight is approximately 261 hp / tonne (195 kW / tonne, 266 PS / tonne). All 50 cars will be built to order and to further identify and maintain the exclusivity of the Lotus Sport Exige 240R, they will only be available in Sport Yellow or Sport Black - both unique and exclusive colours specifically blended to denote the brand colour scheme of Lotus Sport. The Lotus Sport Exige 240R will be sold at a Recommended Retail Price of £43,995 (62,000 Euros). The Lotus Sport Exige 240R also has a unique interior trim in black with Lotus Sport Yellow highlights in leather. A unique numbered Lotus Sport build plate is fitted to the aluminium chassis member on the passenger side. The interior also includes sports seats, driver and passenger four-point harnesses which are fitted to a cross bar that is part of the motorsport specification T45 roll bar. New lightweight five spoke forged alloy wheels are of a slightly wider section to the standard Exige wheel to accommodate the optional extra track only specification slick tyres as well as the Yokohama A048 tyres, which come as standard. These wheels are painted in "Satin Black" for the Sport Yellow painted version of the Lotus Sport Exige 240R and "High Power Silver" for the Sport Black painted version. In addition to the powerful four-cylinder engine, the Lotus Sport Exige 240R also includes specially developed Lotus Sport parts including upgraded brakes, stiffer springs and 2-way adjustable Ohlins dampers with ride height adjustment, an adjustable front anti-roll bar, twin oil coolers and an Accusump.
