Speculation is mounting that the London-based dealer HR Owen is to withdraw from mainstream motor retailing to concentrate on luxury brands Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari and Aston Martin. And it could decide to do this as a private company.
Lamborghini will unveil the Concept S at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
HR Owen has opened the UK’s second Lamborghini dealership, following a £700,000 investment. Based in Stockport’s Town Hall Square, it is trading as Lamborg-hini Manchester and has a seven-car showroom.
A second official UK Lamborghini dealership has been opened in Stockport, Cheshire.
HR Owen is to open a second Lamborghini dealership. It will be built on HR Owen's former Jaguar dealership site in Stockport.
Lamborghini London, the official sole UK dealer for Audi-owned Automobili Lamborghini SpA and part of H.R. Owen Plc, will account for approximately 10% of Lamborghini's production in 2004.
More than £300,000 was spent developing one of the world's first new-look Lamborghini showrooms in London. The Old Brompton Road site is one of only three in Europe to be refurbished in line with the new brand environment.
Audi is on a roll, according to new boss Martin Winterkorn. But he sees room for improvement. More power and more character of course, but with costs kept down with a strategic alliance between Audi, Seat and Lamborghini - the sister brands in VW's 'sporty' division.
Lamborghini's long-awaited second model is nearing completion. Due to be unveiled at next year's Geneva Show the car, code-named L140, will be almost as fast as the V12-powered Murcielago, but smaller and less expensive.
