It really shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the Lamborghini Aventador is selling well, despite a world recession, when we already know that LP700-4 Roadster is sold out until 2014 and that Lamborghini managed to sell 1,000 Aventadors in the first fifteen months of production.

Now we learn from Sant’Agata that the Avenatador didn’t just sell well in its first fifteen months, but that it’s continued to power forward since witrh sales of 2,000 in the first two years of production – a figure it took the Murcialago over four years to achieve.

The 2000th Aventador – a regular LP700-4 Coupe – is heading for AT&T exec Thaddeus Arroyo who will take delivery of his new car shortly, finished in Nero Nemesis black, and be able to stretch its 6.5 litre V12 sufficiently to get to 62mph in just 2.9 seconds and on to 217mph, performance figures that match hypercars costing two and three times as much.

There seems little sign that the world’s wealthiest petrolheads are likely to fall out of love with the Aventador any time soon, and with the LP700-4 Coupe and Roadster selling strongly, an Aventador SV almost certainly on the way, a limited edition LP720-4 50 Anniversario 50 to build and sell and no doubt more ‘Limited Edition’ Aventadors to come, sales seem likely to head in only one direction.
