Lamborghini has reached a significant milestone by producing 1,000 Aventadors. The 1000th Aventador is painted in a shade called Argos Orange and is destined for Germany, where it will share space in Bavarian architect Hans Scheldecker's garage with his Diablo.

Lamborghini's latest supercar has reached this milestone after only 15 months of its production. It took the Aventador's predecessor, the Murcielago, nearly three years to convince 1,000 customers to buy into the Lamborghini lifestyle, and that supercar went on to sell just 4,099 units during its nine-year run.

According to Lamborghini, last year the Sant' Agata Bolognese plant's rate of productivity was three Aventadors per day, and today it is up to 4.5.
