Lamborghini Headquarters in Santa Monica, California
Automobili Lamborghini, producer of the world's most stylish super sports cars, announced that Santa Monica would be the new North America Headquarters location.
In a move that makes absolutely perfect sense, Automobili Lamborghini is setting up its North American base in sunny Santa Monica. The company's CEO, the impeccably attired Stephan Winkelmann, admitted that the Italian headquarters would have to wait until the afternoons to phone its U.S. operation, but called this "the best decision." Although the East Coast was also in the frame for a time, California got the nod because it is "where the future trends are. It's where our PR agency is. It's where many of our buyers are," says Winkelmann.
He can say that again, Californians buy more Lamborghinis than Italians or Germans, about 30% of all the company's U.S sales, helping it make a pre-tax profit of about $72.8 million in 2007. Which is the rosiest the corporate coffers have ever looked. Oh, and there's a more powerful Gallardo just coming out -- the LP560-4 Gallardo.

Lamborghini Portland Holds Official Press Conference
Automobili Lamborghini, S.p.A., announced the official grand opening of Lamborghini Portland last week at a press conference held here at GPI in the Lamborghini Portland showroom. Pietro Frigerio, Chief Operating Officer of Automobili Lamborghini America, LLC, joined Lamborghini Portland owner Michael Warn in a short press conference to communicate this new, exciting, official announcement. The company's unreleased Gallardo LP560-4 was also on hand.
Even though we were officially awarded the franchise in November 2007, and we officially debuted Lamborghini at the Portland International Auto Show in January 2008, we had many modifications to our showroom that needed to be complete before the official announcement from corporate Lamborghini could be made.
We remodeled our showroom according to Lamborghini's Corporate Identity and it took a little longer than anticipated. We wanted to make our presentation perfect, so the wait was well worth it.
Pietro Frigerio, COO of Automobili Lamborghini America, LLC spoke with press in the Lamborghini Portland showroom, May 30, 2008.
