Just three years after production of the Lamborghini Huracan commenced, the carmaker has built its 8,000th example.

The special Huracan that brings in this milestone is a Spyder finished in Grigio Lynx and bound for the United Kingdom. The 8,000th example comes on the back of Lamborghini recording consistently improving sales figures where in 2016, a total of 3,457 vehicles were sold.

What is particularly noteworthy about this milestone is that it is only 6,022 vehicles short of the 14,022 Gallardos that were built over a 10-year period. At this rate, Lamborghini could sell over 25,000 Huracans before its successor arrives, an unprecedented figure in the brand’s 54-year history.

Since the Huracan’s release, it has been offered in LP610-4, LP610-4 Avio, LP610-4 Spyder, LP580-2, LP580-2 Spyder and LP640-4 Performante guises. A droptop Performante is thought to be on the agenda before the Huracan is facelifted.
