While still a profit, Lamborghini only posted a 7.7 million dollar gain for the first half of the year.  In contrast, they posted a 50 million dollar profit the same time last year.

According to Automotive News, this was a 37 percent drop off in vehicle sales and they only delivered 825 cars.  In the USA that resulted in a 52% drop in year over year sales with only 207 cars delivered.

“We are not immune to the global recession,” Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. “We will maintain the profitability of the company, (and) continue our investment into the future with product technology and innovation alongside a firm ecological stance.”
