Automobili Lamborghini to Resume Production May 4!

 

Sant’Agata Bolognese, 30 April 2020 – Automobili Lamborghini is set to resume its production activities from 4 May, in accordance with the Italian Prime Minister’s decree of 26 April. The Sant-Agata Bolognese company is currently completing all preparatory measures to ensure its people return to work in conditions of maximum safety.

While company activities were temporarily suspended, Lamborghini repurposed some of its departments to produce medical protection masks and visors for St. Orsola Hospital in Bologna, and established a partnership with SIARE Engineering International Group for co-engineering and manufacturing breathing simulators.

The preparation for the 4 May reopening has been the subject of ongoing discussion and definition within the Joint Committee of the Company and Trade Unions on the COVID-19 emergency, set up in the wake of the temporary suspension of company activities on March 13. Over the last weeks, the parties have worked together on a precise safety protocol governing the procedures for returning to work and the equipment to be used in order to ensure the maximum safety of Lamborghini’s workforce, starting with a comprehensive educational campaign.

Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, commented: ”We are ready to restart with great energy, but also with strict protocols for safeguarding what is most precious to us: the safety of our people. This priority is why we were the first Italian automotive company to close and continues to be our guiding principle for a well-reasoned and safe recovery, because we still have not won the battle against COVID-19. We will constantly monitor the contagion’s evolution and be ready to adjust our protocols in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Italian government and the Emilia-Romagna Region, which we would like to thank for their support during this sensitive phase.”

“We continue to nurture the dreams of our fans and customers, and on 7 May, through a virtual launch, we will present a new car in order to complete our model range. We closed the first quarter of 2020 despite the situation with very positive results. From these results we want to secure our swift return to a leadership position, delivering our vehicles once again as soon as our dealers around the world reopen for business.”

"Good news!" As James May would say.

And Huracan EVO RWD Spyder is my "guess" for May 7th.

If they are going "to complete our model range" I wonder if it could be a GT, perhaps a Estoque revised? I know that's very unlikely, but the wording has me wondering.

That one is still most likely half a decade out, if not more. Most likely will be fully electric too. 

Lambo is going to complete an existing model range. Which would mean Huracan range as it lacks the Evo RWD Spyder. 

Aventador's range is complete and the SVR is an SQ project. So that doesn't count into the main model range. 

Can't be Urus range either. Still no test mules of hybrid/hotter Urus.

Rock on. Thanks for clearing that up. An EVO RWD Spyder is never a bad thing!
