Lamborghini has revealed a rolling chassis mentation of its adjacent V12 supercar flagship known for present arsenic the LB744.
Dubbed the “monofuselage”, this monocoque chassis is inspired by aeronautics and made wholly of c fibre of antithetic varieties.
Its beforehand conception is made from a peculiar worldly called Forged Composites which is patented by Lamborghini and consists of abbreviated c fibres soaked successful resin. The tub, beforehand firewall and A-pillar are besides made of Forged Composite.
The lone portion of the vehicle’s chassis that isn’t c fibre is the rear conception that’s made of high-strength aluminium alloys and features 2 hollow castings successful the rear dome area.
Lamborghini says the monofuselage is simply a “significant measurement guardant from the Aventador successful presumption of torsional stiffness, lightweight qualities and driving dynamics”.
Although the Italian carmaker doesn’t specify an nonstop value figure, it says it is 10 per cent lighter than the Aventador chassis. The caller model’s beforehand framework is besides 20 per cent lighter than its aluminium predecessor.
Torsional stiffness has been improved with a worth of 40,000Nm per degree, which is up 25 per cent compared to the Aventador.
This isn’t the archetypal clip Lamborghini has fixed america an authoritative sneak preview into this caller flagship model. It follows immoderate details it released connected its plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain.
Dubbed the brand’s archetypal bid accumulation High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV), it features a caller 6.5-litre V12 motor astatine its heart.
Producing 607kW of powerfulness and 725Nm of torque, it’s hooked up to the rear axle only. Redline is 9500rpm, oregon 500rpm beyond what the 4.0-litre six successful the Porsche 911 GT3, GT3 RS, and 718 Cayman GT4 RS tin manage.
It won’t beryllium augmented by turbochargers, superchargers, oregon adjacent 48V mild-hybrid technology. But it volition beryllium backed by 3 electrical motors.
One (with 110kW and 150Nm) is attached to the transverse-mounted, eight-speed dual-clutch transmission; the different 2 are attached to the beforehand wheels.
This is lone the 3rd V12 exemplary from Lamborghini to person a transverse-mounted transmission. The archetypal was the Miura, the 2nd the track-only Essenza SCV12.
Lamborghini says the transmission tin decouple the motor successful a mode that allows its caller V12 supercar to beryllium all-wheel thrust adjacent erstwhile it’s successful EV mode.
Those front-mounted motors each makes 110kW of powerfulness and 350Nm of torque, and unfastened the doorway for each kinds of torque vectoring trickery not imaginable with the accepted all-wheel thrust strategy successful the now-defunct Aventador.
Combined, the PHEV powertrain volition marque make 745kW (1000hp) of power.
Feeding the electrical motors is a 3.8kWh lithium-ion artillery battalion mounted successful what would erstwhile person been the transmission tunnel.
It tin beryllium charged successful 30 minutes utilizing a 7kW partition box, oregon with regenerative braking from the beforehand wheels, oregon utilizing the V12 successful six minutes.
Reverse is handled by the electrical motors, alternatively than the petrol motor and transmission.
