Lamborghini has already hired 150 new workers to help put the Urus into production.
The company is celebrating a record sales year in 2015, propelled by the Huracan’s first full year of production. Despite strong performance from the Gallardo’s successor, the SUV is expected to eventually account for more than half of annual sales.
The Italian automaker is already preparing its factory for the significant launch. The new hires include assembly line workers, technicians and other skilled specialists.
“Not only will the production site double in size – from the existing 80,000 square meters to 150,000 square meters – but 500 further new staff will be taken on,” the company noted in its announcement.
Other new additions this year will include technicians working in quality control, research and development, purchasing, industrial and project management divisions, working alongside the technical production staff.
The SUV is expected to arrive in showrooms by the second half of 2018. Each could fetch around $200,000, though the company has not yet confirmed pricing or specific launch details.
