expansion in our company’s long history, in the build-up of our product

fascinating new products, creating new jobs and increasing our profitability.
All of this could not have been done without our excellent team that deserves
all the credit.”

Pacific set new records and contributed to the sales growth. The USA remain
the largest single market with 1,250 units sold.
Thanks to the Huracán model the year 2016 has been the most successful yet

will double to 7,000 units per year.
