Lamborghini opens in second South American store in Chile

Italian automaker Lamborghini is expanding its presence in South America with the opening of a showroom in Santiago, Chile.

The showroom will be the second dealership in South America for the brand, joining the one in São Paulo, Brazil. The extended presence in the region will reach wealthy South American consumers at home as opposed to when traveling abroad.

Lamborghini’s initial presence in Brazil likely jumpstarted the expansion into other South American countries. The opening in Chile will be the second authorized dealer in the region and will likely spread the name of the brand among wealthy Chileans who may have previously interacted with Lamborghini while traveling.
