On July 19, Lamborghini built the 1,000th Aventador and delivered it to buyer Hans Scheidecker, a German architect and multicar owner. His other Lamborghini is a Diablo.

It took the Sant'Agata Bolognese plant just one year and three months from the start of production to hit the four-digit mark. The previous flagship model, the Murciélago, took more than two years to reach that milestone.

The upcoming 18 months of Aventador production is already spoken for, so the next available slot will be near the 2,000 production mark at current build rates. That should give you plenty of time to save up for the base price, which is around $380,000.
