Pie in the Sky Perspective: Charting out Lamborghini production by model
Lamborghini production pie chart – Click above for key
No news may be good news for most people, but it makes for some tiresome boredom and excess spare time to news jockeys like us. Fortunately, while the rest of us were playing xBox or configuring our fantasy cars online, our compatriots over at Inside Line were putting their slow news days to good use with the pie chart you see above. Yes, a pie chart.
Using official numbers furnished by the manufacturer, the staff at IL's Straightline blog charted Lamborghini's entire sales by model. That huge orange wedge you see there? That's the Gallardo, in all its iterations (the original coupe and roadster, Superleggera, special editions, LP560-4, etc.). Total production of the Gallardo range to date tops 9,900, and is well on course to shatter the 10,000 mark for the first time in Sant'Agata history. What's even more interesting, though, is that if you take out the gray wedge that represents the Gallardo's big brother, the Murcielago, you can see that Lamborghini has sold more Gallardos than it has all other models combined, which totaled 9,500 before the current pair was introduced. Talk about grabbing a bull by the horns.

Reventon would be included in the Murcielago's space.

Click on the picture and you can see which pie piece they all are! It has a legend! - And no, the Count... is not the big giant piece of orange pie! It's the light green one!

So according to the chart lamborghini has only build no more than 30 K vehicles aproximatly in their entire history! wow!

True.
I recall reading in a magazine several years back(before the Murcielago and Gallardo were brought out) that Lambo had sold less than 10K vehicles in its lifetime. Seems to be an accurate figure considering this pie chart.
Kind of amazing on both sides, that they sold so few Coutach's and prior models and amazing that they've sold so many Murcielago's and Gallardo's in such a short time.

i didnt think they made that many LM002's

Matt 7:53PM (7/16/2009)
Me either. I thought there was only a handful of them.
Farris 8:22PM (7/16/2009)
No, that's about right. A buddy of mine is OBSESSED with the LM002, so he's always talking about them.
I've never heard of the Silhouette, though. Interesting looking vehicle...
Kaveh 11:03PM (7/16/2009)
wow, add the Miura SV, it was like 4 cars I think, and the Revenation was about 25. But that V 10 really was a blockbuster for the company.
