" So, tell us about this new car, the Hurac\u00E1n. This is a very important car for us, because it is the replacement for the Gallardo, which was the best-selling Lamborghini in history: We sold more than 14,000 of them. And the signs are very good for us because we have already [pre]-sold more than 1000 in the first few months. The design is completely new. It is in line with our goal of being revolutionary, but at the same time being immediately recognizable as a Lamborghini.  If we speak about the concept of the car, it&amp;#039;s instinctive technology. And we see this with all of the technical innovations we have inside of the car, like a new chassis, which is a combination of carbon fiber and aluminum, which is lighter and stiffer than the predecessor. We have a new engine, a V-10, 5.2-liter, 610-hp engine. For the first time there is a double-clutch transmission, which is very comfortable and has a very fast shifting time. And no manual will be offered, correct? No manual available. We have the Magnaride dampers, which are very good for comfort and performance. And dynamic steering, which adapts resistance in terms of your speed. And we have a complete new electronically operated 4x4 system, which is one of the hallmarks we have had since the beginning of the 1990s. All in all, this is bringing us to better performance, less consumption, and fewer CO2 emissions.  On the other hand, when we speak about instinctive technology, it [means] that you have access as a driver, and you feel the car immediately, as if it were tailor-made for you. So it&amp;#039;s very easy to drive. As we say: easy on the road and on the racetrack. At the Geneva Motor Show last week, manufacturers such as Ferrari, McLaren, and Koenigsegg showed off high-powered cars with twin-turbo engines. You all are sticking with a naturally aspirated V-10. Why? [Everything we do,] we do in terms of technical innovation. This is one of the basic reasons for the super sports car business. You have to overachieve the expectations of the customer. It&amp;#039;s a dream car, and you have to build one.  There are things that belong to the DNA of the car, which you don&amp;#039;t need to change just for the sake of changing. And one of these is the engine. We believe that naturally aspirated engines still have a long way to go. And one of the reasons is that you have high torque at low revs, which is why these engines are still the best. In the future, we will see, because there are emission regulations and there are a lot of new technologies. But for the time being, we see this as the best offer.  Is Lamborghini still planning a proper-four place cara Ferrari FF competitor or something like that? That&amp;#039;s in the company&amp;#039;s DNA, if you look at something like the Espada. Yes, we are working on a third model. We spoke about this in the past, now we are doing the job. And when we have news, we will come back.  This model will have an SUV or crossover shape, right? Yes. [And] we are looking for a four-door.  You said the Hurac\u00E1n is immediately recognizable as a Lamborghini. What does that mean to you? It&amp;#039;s the shape of the carvery low and very wide. There are always some lines that come from the heritage. All the rest is the impression. Even if you don&amp;#039;t know immediately that it&amp;#039;s a Hurac\u00E1n, you know that it can&amp;#039;t be anything else than a Lamborghini.   On the headlamps you have the upsilon shape in the LEDs. In the front, you have the very typical shape for the intakes for the radiators because the engine is a mid-rear engine. You see some inspiration coming from the Murcielago, from the Urraco. Well, this new car looks great. Who is buying it so far? [We&amp;#039;ve sold] more than 300 in the US, which is confirming the U.S. as our top market. Number two is greater China, then the Middle East, the U.K., Japan, and Germany. And you see it&amp;#039;s well balanced within the regions. We try to sell one-third, one-third, one-third between America, Europe and the Middle East, and Asia and the Pacific.
