The slight drop is clearly attributable to the 70-day production shutdown in the spring, in compliance with Italian government directives and to protect the health of workers during the first emergency phase. In contrast, the second six months saw record sales figures, resulting in the best second half-year for deliveries-to-customers in the company’s history.
The United States was confirmed as the
top market with 2,224 cars, followed by Germany (607), mainland China,
Hong Kong and Macau (604), Japan (600), the United Kingdom (517) and
Italy (347). The two countries with the highest growth were South Korea
(303 units, +75%) and Germany (607 units, +8%). The Urus, which just
last year set a production record of 10,000 units, was the most
successful model with 4,391 cars delivered. Both the super sports car
lines made a significant contribution to global volumes: the V10 Huracan
recorded growing numbers with 2,193 cars sold (+3%), alongside 846 V12
Aventador units delivered worldwide.
The new 2021 year gets off
to a positive start with a robust order portfolio: so much so that more
than half 2021’s planned production has already been assigned.
