Our results have been fantastic, which is testament to the amazing cars we sell, the hard work of the team and their exceptional understanding of the customer.

“We’re very much looking forward to even more success in 2017, with the launch of the Aventador S sure to keep us busy throughout the year.”

HR Owen Lamborghini has become a destination of choice for petrolheads keen to get a glimpse of the Italian brand’s rarest supercars.

In December, Lamborghini London welcomed the ultra-exclusive Lamborghini Veneno Coupe to South Kensington – one of only four examples manufactured worldwide – boasting a 750 HP V12 engine, carbon fibre monocoque and body, capable of over 220 mph.
