SANT'AGATA BOLOGNESE, Italy — Champagne corks are popping at Lamborghini. The exotic marque has announced that the 10,000th Gallardo has rolled off the assembly line here, bound for an owner in China.
The 10,000th Gallardo is a "Midas" yellow model that will be showcased during Lamborghini Day in Shanghai on June 25 before being handed over to its new, unidentified owner.
Lamborghini said the Gallardo "has become the most successful Lamborghini model of all time." The original Gallardo coupe was launched in 2003, followed by the Spyder and Superleggera models, as well as special editions such as the Gallardo SE and Nera.
"The strength and presence of the Gallardo product [plays] a significant role in the growth and recognition of our brand," said Stephan Winkelmann, president and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, in a statement.
