Stephan Winkelmann

uring his time as President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini from 2005 to 2016, Stephan Winkelmann transformed the company into a global leader among super sports cars manufacturers. Under his leadership, iconic and cutting-edge models were introduced, starting from the derivatives of the Gallardo and ranging through introductions of the V10 Huracán and V12 Aventador, as well as limited editions and one-offs, setting numerous new sales records. The Super SUV Urus was announced in 2015, thus marking the beginning of a new era for the company.

Since joining Automobili Lamborghini in 2016, Stefano Domenicali has continued the process of transformation with the introduction of the Super SUV Urus in 2018 and a significant growth of the brand on the world stage. Over the last four years, the production site in Sant’Agata Bolognese has doubled, more than 700 employees have been hired and the brand has achieved unprecedented awareness levels. The growth in global sales was even more remarkable, with 8,205 units delivered to customers, marking a doubling of volumes in comparison to the period before introduction of the Urus. Sales records were set in all three principal market areas of the Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific, with a turnover of EUR 1.81 billion in 2019.
