Joining the party now is Lamborghini. The company has seen a massive jump in its car sales in China, so much so that China has become the second largest market for the company.

Lamborghini sold 178 cars in the 1st three quarters of 2010 which is double of what it sold in the year 2009 (80 Units). The company will now easily achieve its sales target of 200 cars for this year. The super-sports car market in China grew from 19% in 2009 to 23% in 2010.

Lamborghini officials are very proud of the company’s achievement and the company wants to further strengthen their presence in the Chinese market. Lamborghini is adopting many steps to do so. It recently unveiled two new showrooms at Shanghai & Xiamen. The company plans to increase the number of dealerships from the current 9 to 20 at the end of 2011.

In order to build the Lamborghini brand and increase awareness about it, the company is taking many initiatives. A Lamborghini Academy is one such plan that will provide customers with better service and will help generate the super car spirit & culture among Chinese citizens.

Lamborghini has many young customers and so the company also plans to open a Lamborghini Club for entertainment and recreations. The company also recently conducted a track day where the enthusiasts came out to play with the cars.

Lamborghini will continue to take up such initiatives and keep updating their product line up to further boost its sales in China.

Lamborghini has clearly misunderstood the meaning of 'Going Green'.

While the world is increasingly environment conscious, there are a few car manufactures with their 'heart over mind' approach which seem to care little about the rants of environmentalists. Lamborghini Murcielago's notoriety in this regard has encouraged ETA to award it the 'Least Greenest Car of the Year' title. The ETA has released the list of the 'Greenest' and the 'Least Greenest' car in all categories and the Lamborghini has fared the worst.

With emissions five times worse than the greenest car, the Lamborghini is the bull in an environmental china shop. Thankfully, there are very few on the roads and there is an increasing choice of environmentally-sound cars.
