That type of car didn’t sell back then. Today, they’re selling faster than ever.
Doesn't really negate my point that the brand's core identity is still the same as it's ever been for the last 35+ years.
However, since you know that type of car didn't sell back then, you do realize that the issue you're taking up with (Lamborghini building a ton of cars each year) was a goal they had set out for multiple times. The Jalpa was brought out to be a more affordable Lamborghini as they fought through bankruptcy in the 80's & became the only time in history Lamborghini made a profit. When Chrysler took over, they wanted to replicate it with the P140, hoping to sell 1,000 units a year. However, the Diablo was revealed & they directed everything on it instead, taking in record orders. The short-lived profits there went down & Chrysler sold it to MegaTech who again wanted to revive a V10 entry model with the Cala. VAG took over, shelved that idea until the Gallardo came along that ultimately brought the company into financial safety.
Point being, the super expensive 2-model idea you're proposing to keep the "core identity alive" has never been sustainable for the brand and Mimran, Chrysler, MegaTech & VAG all recognized a much cheaper model was needed to keep the company afloat. So, it needs models like the Huracan & Urus to keep money pouring in for the "bat**** insane" examples to be built. The "Motorsports-focused" car
is the Huracan given the success that car has brought them in racing organizations.
And even if the company could now live off just 1 or 2 ultra-expensive cars just to keep their brand identity alive, they will never go back to it b/c building less cars a year means less money. Which again, is ultimately pointless because the brand identity is still alive & well. Owners are buying the Huracan, Urus, & Revuelto because they are all flashy, loud supercars just as the Countach, Diablo, Murcielago, Aventador & Gallardo were. The cars really did nothing else spectacular until Lamborghini built a few track-focused models that started actually setting a couple lap records.
