Italian super sports car manufacturer Lamborghini will double its UK representation with the opening of two new dealerships in Birmingham and Edinburgh. Both operated by Sytner Group Ltd., Lamborghini Birmingham and Lamborghini Edinburgh will join existing dealerships in London and Manchester managed by H.R. Owen plc. A further service centre is based in High Wycombe.

The two new businesses will both operate from interim facilities until purpose-built showrooms open later in the year. Lamborghini Birmingham will be based alongside Sytner’s existing Bentley franchise in the north of Birmingham until Sytner’s multi-million pound showroom development is completed at Fort Dunlop in the autumn, which will include a dedicated Lamborghini facility. Lamborghini Edinburgh will operate from the multi-franchise Fort Kinnaird location where a new Lamborghini showroom is planned.

In 2005, Lamborghini delivered 1,600 units worldwide. The range is now comprised of four models, including the new V12 Murciélago LP640 announced at Geneva Motor Show in March, and the new convertible Gallardo Spyder of which UK customer deliveries have just commenced. The V10 Gallardo coupé and Murciélago Roadster complete the line-up.

Automobili Lamborghini has significantly developed its world-wide dealer network, with 65 dealerships in place at the start of 2005 growing to a current total of 86 including Lamborghini Birmingham and Edinburgh.

The Saleen S7 was a limited-production, hand-built, high-performance automobile developed jointly by Steve Saleen for the initial concept and direction, Hidden Creek Industries for resources and initial funding, Phil Frank Design for the body and interior CAD design and development, and Ray Mallock Ltd. for the chassis engineering, and produced solely by Saleen in Irvine, California. It was the only car produced by Saleen not based on an existing chassis. The S7 debuted on August 19, 2000 at the Monterey Historic Races. From 2000 until 2004, the S7 featured a naturally aspirated V8 engine with 550 horsepower (410 kW). In 2005, the S7 was replaced by the S7 Twin Turbo, which featured a more powerful twin-turbo system that boosted engine power to 750 horsepower (760 PS/559 kW) and the top speed 248 mph (399 km/h).

The Saleen S7 Twin Turbo was an updated revision of the original S7. Although the initial concept for the S7 incorporated twin-turbochargers, they were not used on the production car. The twin-turbocharged version later developed in 2005 went on sale for $585,296 USD (approx. GB£295,559, c.2007/€435,203, c.2007), replacing standard S7 production.
