The country saw sales of high-end luxury and sports cars rise last year, with Italian supercar manufacturer - Lamborghini - clocking sales of 100 units, and claiming about 10 percent share of the total market size. 

The Italian marque also witnessed CY2023 as a landmark year, with not just sales that surpassed the 10,000-unit milestone, globally, as well as rise in new orders, making its current order bank extend to well over two years.
