"With the Aventador LP700-4 is the future of the super sports car is now a part of this. Its unique package of innovative technology is unique, its performance is just amazing, "said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. "It Aventador is a leap of two generations in terms of design and technology is the result of a completely new project, but it is a direct continuation and consistent values ??of the Lamborghini brand. It is extreme in its design and performance, uncompromising in its standards and technology, and undeniably Italian in style and perfection. On balance, dynamics and the technical quality of Lamborghini LP700-4 makes Aventador unmatched Super Arena in sports worldwide. "

Aventador the name of one of the bravest of all the bulls

The tradition of Lamborghini's new flagship is named after the bull - of course, very brave people in the world of Spanish bullfighting. Aventador was the name of the bull, who came to the battle in October 1993, the Arena in Zaragoza, to earn a "Trofeo de la Peña Madroñera The" exceptional courage.

A sculpture of the dynamics of extreme

For the Lamborghini, the design is always an aggressive power of beauty, elegance and breathtaking dynamic. At first glance, the new Lamborghini Aventador is clear, distinctive dress of the brand and distinctive design language - and its powerful proportions, its precise lines and sharp surfaces and taut muscularity in each of its details. Designers of the Centro Stile Lamborghini has carefully developed this form of language Aventador Lamborghini gives a significant competitive advantage. It is an avant-garde work of art, an incredibly dynamic sculpture from the front of a clean break with the very low roofline is distinctive rear diffuser. Each line has a clear function, each shape is dictated by the need for speed, but the look is nothing short of incredible and breathtaking.

Doors open - of course

Truly impressive proportions has a total length of 4.78 meters (188.19 cm) paired with an impressive 2.26 meters wide (88.98 inches), including mirrors, and reinforced by a very low level of only 1.136 mm (44.72 inches). It goes without saying that the two gates of the monocoque carbon fiber open - a feature that was introduced in the now legendary Countach V12 and then used for subsequent models such as Diablo and Murciélago. Aventador but also induces its immediate predecessor Murciélago - the electronically controlled air intakes open depending on outside temperature and the need for cooling air, ensuring maximum aerodynamic efficiency. And for those wishing to flaunt the heart of their Lamborghini, with optional transparent engine cover the twelve cylinders like a piece of art techniques in a showcase.

Exclusive interior and high-tech

The spacious interior Aventador combines the exclusivity of fine quality materials and superb Italian craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology and equipment generous. The lid of the red switch on the center console off around the start button is used to excite the twelve-cylinder. The interior is dominated by a panel of new generation - like in modern airplanes, the instruments are presented on a TFT-LCD using the innovative display concepts. A second screen is dedicated to the standard adjustment multimedia and navigation system.

Carbon fiber monocoque

The new flagship of a Lamborghini monocoque full. Whole cell occupants, with bathroom and the roof is a single physical. This ensures extreme stiffness and excellent steering precision and a high degree of passive safety for driver and passenger. The whole monocoque weighs only 147.5 kg (325.18 pounds).

The monocoque with aluminum frames front and rear equipped with an impressive combination of extreme torsional stiffness of 35,000 Newton-meters per degree and weighs 229.5 kg (505.9 pounds).

Maximum speed, incredible voice

Lamborghini LP700-4 to Aventador, Lamborghini's engineers R & D department has developed a new high performance engine - an extremely powerful motor and high speed, but very compact. At 235 kg (518 lb), it is also very easy. A V12 515 kW (700 hp) at 8250 rpm sets a new standard, even in a world of super sports cars. The maximum torque is 690 Nm (509 lb.-ft.) at 5500 rpm. The torque curve very well balanced bull traction in every situation, the spontaneous reaction, and last but not least, it is finely modulated, but the sound still very moving that make this engine a high-powered chip.

Innovative transmission for maximum performance

Lamborghini's engineers have created the perfect companion for the new twelve-cylinder engine with innovative international search report (Independent Shifting Rods) transmission. The development objective was clear - to build not only the largest box of robotics, but also to create over the material world, the most emotional. Compared to a dual-clutch transmission is not only much lighter ISR team also has smaller dimensions than a conventional manual unit - two key elements in the engineering field of light for super sports cars.

Sophisticated and secure with four-wheel drive

This kind of extreme power must be delivered reliably to the road. The driver of the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador can rely on its permanent four-wheel drive - 4 indicated by the model designation. In the driveline, distributes a pair of electronically controlled Haldex coupling between front and rear. In a few milliseconds, adapts coupling the power distribution to match the dynamic situation. A limited-slip differential at the rear with an electronically controlled front differential of the ESP are handling even more dynamic. Drive Select mode system allows the driver to select the vehicle characteristics (engine, transmission, differential, management and dynamic control) from three parameters - Strada (road), Sport and the Corsa (track) - depending on their individual preferences.

Motor thrust rod suspension

Lamborghini has equipped its new V12 super sports car concept with an innovative suspension and very advanced. The concept of push spring and damper was inspired by Formula 1 and perfectly aligned to meet the needs of high performance road going vehicle. Wishbone suspension with aluminum double and a carbon-ceramic brake system, the lightweight chassis is another aspect of the new flagship unique technological concept.

Substantial assistance and safety systems

In the driver's hands, the Lamborghini LP700-4 is a precision machine Aventador - spontaneous, direct and always reliable. The driver is also assisted by the most modern electronics and the incredibly athletic control, ESP. When it comes to passive safety airbags front chest and knee play a role near the cell extremely rigid carbon fiber.

Customizing program full and wide

A Lamborghini must always fit perfectly with the style and preferences of its owner. To this end, the range of individualisation options is virtually endless. A selection of 13 colors of paint to choose the production, of which three are very sophisticated matte tones. A choice of two interior colors are offered with the "Sportivo" and version "Elegance", while a high-quality audio and a camera security are among the many technology options. And, of course, the "ad personam 'individualisation knows no bounds when it comes to colors and materials.

Design

Any Lamborghini is an avant-garde sculpture in motion a rapid technique. Every line, every detail of a super sports car from Sant'Agata derived from its function - namely speed, dynamic performance. Any Lamborghini is a purist's dream, reduced to its essence.

Aventador new LP700-4, the Centro Stile Lamborghini designers in Sant'Agata Bolognese have made this commitment to the philosophy of a whole new level - the extreme, sharp lines to describe accurately, that is beyond compare car design. And his surfaces clean, solid and expertly conducted to demonstrate exceptional skills and deep experience in possession of the Lamborghini is a carbon fiber body design.

Surface of the roof is a new geometry that provides more space for passengers, but at the same time provide relief from the front lines. This will also aim to get a better drag coefficient, continues the Lamborghini design philosophy "form follows function."

The machine uses the same style of coverage to provide continuity in the concept.

Inspiration Aviation

For the development of the language of Lamborghini design, the designers took inspiration from another master ball speed and dynamics - of modern aviation, fastest and most agile airplanes in the world. This has led to the design of functionality and impressive sharpness, extremely accurate and highly technical language of the design of a new kind of vitality. Clean lines and taut surfaces create a fascinating interaction between light and shade, giving the car a huge visual movement. Limited edition Reventon - Automotive Art work - and Sixth "demonstrator" element were pioneers of this philosophy: Aventador is Lamborghini's first car as standard, which is included in this vision.

The course will also Aventador mid-engine concept, with the weight concentrated around the vertical axis to reduce the inertia and dynamic optimization. Lamborghini Countach with the legendary pioneered in the mid-engine design, its revolutionary concept brings racing technology to the road. The design of the Lamborghini Aventador added emphasis on the visual mid-engine, with a look which concentrates power on the rear axle.

Aerodynamic efficiency is crucial

For such an extremely powerful car, is the most crucial task in the effectiveness of aerodynamic design body of the shell: the optimal air flow for the absolute stability at all speeds and at the same time, optimum cooling engine. In Aventador are all elements in the form of integrated aerodynamic chassis, the front wing to the rear diffuser. A central role is played by the base surface optimized. The rear wing is deployable and managed electronically. The rest flush with the rear of the vehicle is running, it has two positions - the approach angle of 4 degrees is best directional stability at high speed and allows the upper end of the spectrum. Inclination of 11 degrees, on the other, provides support well above the mid-range speeds help to optimize handling and stability. The car uses dynamic parameters to calculate the slope the most suitable.

Impressive proportions, air intakes powerful

The first striking impression of the Lamborghini Aventador focuses on its proportions. With a length of 4.78 meters (188.19 cm), is an impressive 2.26 meters (88.98 inches) in width, including mirrors, but only 1136 meters (44.72 inches) high. Print width is further underlined by the air intakes and headlights far between.

Incredibly low in front of the arrow Aventador take a distinct form, with the Insignia informed Lamborghini won both the point and the center line of the route continues along the entire car. Air-guides, which are strongly profiled, and further underlined by their shiny black frames. Bi-xenon units with LED daytime running lights are clustered and indicators under wraps hexagonal. Daytime running light kit with LED light guides that wrap the main Y-format projectors. Seven LEDs continue to offer the source of the light detector.

Two shots to establish the touchline

Long side of the image is dominated by a very low roof line, and two wide shots - the first emphasizes the front wheel arch, a second, very strong from the front wheel arches, and behaves like a tense muscle along the entire side of the car, and over the rear wheel. Deeply rooted in the door and the threshold of a bear large, is also configured the functionality of the Lamborghini design. Ultimately, these forms serve only one purpose - to provide maximum cooling air is powerful V12 power plant. The large air inlets behind the doors open upwards are also involved in black plastic frames and supervised by an eye end. Engine air intake is located on the roof pillar behind the third side window. And when the cooling demand is particularly high, the extra channels opens behind the fenders.

The rear is also dominated by black framed openings, where the warm air finds its release. The rear is very full three-dimensional design. The diffuser is less strong in relief, while the size of the tail pipe substantially hexagonal symbolizes the concentrated power of the engine. The rear lights with LED technology and to reiterate the familiar pattern of the current three models of Lamborghini.

The V12 as an object of beauty techniques

Equally well known is a transparent engine bonnet (optional), which is particularly interesting dimension to many aspects of emotional Aventador. The twelve-cylinder, which is a large black intake manifold, is in honor of all the technicians in the three door panels. And 'framed by diagonal carbon fiber and cushions with a powerful engine of the suspension rods.

The design philosophy continues in the amazingly spacious. The cabin is completely covered with fine leather and has a subtle arrow. The controls are grouped in the center console out. Again, the inspiration of aviation is immediately apparent - as in modern airplanes, the instruments are presented in a TFT-LCD. In the center of the screen is a large dial - with the touch of a button, the driver can choose whether to view the reading of road speed or engine speed. For more information from the fuel level in the output of the onboard computer are grouped into fields surrounding the large sphere.

The operating system

The main switch is hidden under a red switch cover - start button, which immediately triggers the powerful engine of life.

Secondly, the seven-inch TFT-LCD screen in the center console is an integrated multimedia system. Below it is a whole family of switches for Lamborghini to use features like power windows or the front axle lifting system and air conditioning controls.

Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador offers a state-of-the-art and comprehensive range of e-vehicle entertainment and communication. These functions work in a clear and intuitive, through the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) in the center console, with a big push / turn control, and eight function keys.

Carbon fiber monocoque and Lamborghini Aventador

Lamborghini is going to light the systematic concept for the future - an intensive program of carbon fiber materials, provides an important basis for the strong dynamism of the new LP700-4 Aventador. The new flagship based on the completely self-supporting structure made of these innovative materials - designed and made entirely of Automobili Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese.

This trend seems Lamborghini once again demonstrate its expertise in advanced technology carbon fiber. The super sports car brand of Sant'Agata Bolognese is the only manufacturer to have full control of the process of CFRP on a wide range of technologies in-house - from 3D designs through simulation, testing, production and validation Using state-edge industrial processes to the highest standards of quality. With Aventador, Lamborghini is to its innovative in-house developed and patented technologies in series production for the first time.

The cell of the future Lamborghini supercar flagship is made of carbon fiber and has been designed as a monocoque structure. The support structure of the vehicle is designed as a "single shell" that functions as a physical component and to benefit from the extreme rigidity of CFRP. Formula 1 cars were built with monocoque carbon fiber for many years - and have demonstrated resistance to shocks and time again. The same applies to the road sports car with monocoque technology - carbon fiber functions as a cell occupying very safe cage.

Construction offers many advantages

Of course, the term "shell only" applies only in the descriptive sense - the new Lamborghini monocoque is made of a series of rooms with individual characteristics of specific technologies, such as reinforcing elements are twisted technology, which is one of the best technologies to manage the energy of adsorption in case of accident. After the healing process, however, this structure functions as a single component - including the section of the base known as the bathtub and the entire roof.

The monocoque solution offers benefits that other processes, such as a bath, where a metal roof is fixed in a conventional manner, can not achieve. Therefore Lamborghini is no compromise choice of a full monocoque, which weighs only 147.5 kg (324.5 pounds).

Extremely rigid construction

Increased passive safety is just one advantage of the extreme stiffness of a carbon fiber monocoque - the torsional rigidity is another. The monocoque is connected to the front and rear rigid aluminum sub-frames that are mounted on the suspension, engine and transmission.

The whole body in white in the future V12 model weighs 229.5 kg (505 lb) and has tremendous torsional stiffness of 35,000 Newton-meters per degree of twist. This ensures a great sense of strength, but more importantly, extremely accurate control of wheel with a steering response and good feedback sensitive. For the dedicated driver, is both necessary to really appealing driving pleasure. The new flagship Lamborghini reacts to the slightest steering input with the astonishing precision of a perfectly balanced race car.

Depending on the shape and function, and the needs of the individual parts, the Lamborghini development team selected three CFRP production methods of the toolkit technology. They differ in their production processes, but also the type of carbon fiber and weave, and, above all, the chemical composition of the synthetic resin is used.

Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM): In dealing with this mat are molded carbon fiber and impregnated with a precise amount of resin. Then they are dried in the hot, while the game is in great shape. Lamborghini has made a major breakthrough in the development of this method. Using the patented "RTM Lambo" process, the final form is no longer a heavy piece of metal complex, but rather are made of lightweight carbon fiber parts, which makes the manufacturing process faster, more flexible and more effective.

An additional advantage of RTM-Lambo is the low injection pressure that does not require expensive equipment.

Prepreg - carbon fiber carpets used in this method, commonly known as prepreg, it pre-injected with a resin supplier thermo-fluid and kept at low temperatures. The carpets are rolled into molds and cured under heat and pressure in an autoclave. Prepreg components are difficult to make, but have a surface quality extremely high (class A surface) and therefore the preferred choice for use in visible places.

Braiding - These components are manufactured using RTM technology. The technology of carbon fiber weave is derived from the textile industry and are used to manufacture tubular components for special applications such as roof pillars and structural panels rocker. The components are made of diagonally woven interlocking fibers in several layers.

The new monocoque V12 super sports car has been built using these techniques to be applied to a series of specific actions for processes. One of the significant progress made Lamborghini is the possibility of using elements already assembled monocoque mold the next step in this process. This makes a substantial simplification of the production process than traditional methods.

Epoxy foam components are also used in the monocoque. They are located at strategic locations to increase the rigidity of the monocoque working as spacers between the composite layer and also dampens noise and vibration. In addition, the rolled aluminum inserts front and back surfaces to facilitate for ALCOA and rear sub-frame components.

Due to the complexity of the materials and processes described above, Lamborghini has decided to produce his new monocoque internal management of a strategic step in the production process.

Quality control is crucial - each unique monocoque is measured to exacting tolerances of only 0.1 millimeters, light extreme precision of the entire vehicle. Quality control begins with the purchase of carbon fiber parts. Each delivery of the carbon fiber is certified, and the equipment is regularly checked for compliance with quality standards. Lamborghini has worked with suppliers to develop a world exclusive fiber and resin system for RTM technology. Finally, these materials and processes are an important part of global expertise in the field of Lamborghini.

Carbon composite materials - a key technology for future high-performance automotive engineering

These carbon fiber materials combines the lowest weight possible with the excellent material characteristics - they are very light, extremely stiff and crisp detail.

In addition, composite materials can also form in the components of high complexity with integrated functions. This reduces the number of individual parts of traditional metal construction - allowing extra weight reduction. Lighter cars with low fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions. More important, however, improved power to weight ratio - the crucial factor in the atmosphere and the performance of a sports car. A super sports car built with CFRP accelerates faster, has superior handling and better braking.

The new V12 engine - the heart of the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador

The twelve-cylinder engine is the king of the automotive world and the real heart of the Lamborghini brand. The first model created by Feruccio Lamborghini, the GT 350, appeared in 1964 with a twelve-cylinder engine that was very innovative for its time. 3.5 liters displacement and 320 hp are the vital statistics at the moment - that form the basis of increases in the progress and development in the decades that followed. Miura, Espada, Countach, Diablo, and finally, the bats are just some of the super sports cars born in Sant'Agata. They have been and will be powered by a V12 engine - all of whom have come long ago the legendary status of the car.

Now the next step in this history is glorious - engineers in R & D unit has developed a high-performance energy-new Lamborghini. It would be another twelve-cylinder was never in doubt - not only by the magic evoked by the twelve. The only real option is a Lamborghini engine at high rpm, naturally aspirated - deeply reflective response and exceptionally powerful car, the slightest movement of the driver's right foot is, of course, a key element of fascination inspired a super sports car . Ten cylinders are ideal for the kind of displacement around the five-liter mark as evidenced by the acclaimed Gallardo. 6.5 liters moving target, in this case, the perfect number is twelve. Less would translate into higher cylinder pistons and connecting rods and heavier, which would have a negative impact on the characteristics of high engine speed.

From a clean sheet of paper

The specification for the development of the new twelve-cylinder, internally known as L539, was written quickly - and yet very demanding in its formulation. Of course, it must provide more power and torque than its predecessor, the Murciélago, but it should also be smaller and lighter and can lower the center of gravity. At the end of the day, light weight, just as important to the performance of a super sports car with high power. Gas emissions and fuel consumption of greenhouse must be reduced significantly.

So R & D team started with a clean sheet of paper - metaphorically speaking, of course. Design and development of Sant'Agata done using state of the art systems and equipment. The result is a V12 with a standard cylinder angle of 60 degrees, and thus an extremely compact package of power - the power unit is only 665 mm from top to bottom, including the intake system. Its width, including the exhaust manifold is only 848 millimeters while its length is just 784 millimeters. Its weight of 235 kg is too small rooms - every pound of engine weight is equivalent to 3.0 HP peak performance.

Optimized for high speeds, low weight

The base of a new power plant is composed of an alloy of aluminum-silicon, and is open to the deck construction with steel cylinder liners. The displacement is 6498 cm3 and the cylinder distance 103.5 mm, while the diameter measures 95 mm and stroke of 76.4 mm. A short stroke layout is particularly good at high speed for low friction characteristics and step inside. Particular attention was paid to the bearings and nitride hardened forged crankshaft, which weighs 24.6 pounds.

Both heads with four valves per cylinder are made of aluminum-silicon alloy foundry sand, each weighing 21 kg lightweight. The twelve pistons and connecting rods are, respectively, and forged alloy steel. Maximum piston speed 8250 rpm is only 21 meters per second, which is considerably less than unity of the Bat is the power above. The combustion chambers are carefully designed to achieve optimal machine and combustion of the fuel / air mixture. At 11.8:1, the compression ratio is very high. Synchronization input and output valves are electronically controlled.

Sophisticated thermal management, enhanced oil circulation

Thermal management of the supply of high performance has been enhanced with many engineering details. Two sets of water in the engine on very quickly to ensure the heating, which minimizes friction and provides a fast catalytic converter to operating temperature, benefiting fuel consumption and emissions. Coolers outdoor water activated only when needed.

Health of the motor absolute, even in extreme conditions with high lateral acceleration circuit is protected by circulating oil with a dry sump system. A total of eight pumps suck oil treasure outside the lower base fixed to the casing. Press scan and losses are reduced by about 50 percent. An oil pump maintains high pressure lubrication, while the oil cooler / water and oil cooler / air continuously to maintain the temperature in the range, even under extremely high load. Another advantage of this form of dry-sump lubrication, is very low mounting position of motor sport. The new engine is mounted 60 mm lower than the V12 Murciélago - with benefits with respect to gravity and lateral dynamics.

From the outside, the V12 is dominated by the suction system - which includes four separate throttle bodies. Life inside the black box is also very complex - the best access path at any time to load and engine speed is facilitated by two flaps, a number of channels and one of the bypass. Payback is a very versatile torque curve and a refined ability to pull at all engine speeds.

00:00 Mighty the orchestra plays

The exhaust system has also had the undivided attention of employees, engineers and Lamborghini - the lowest possible emission was as important a goal as the unmistakable sound thrilling Lamborghini. Hydro and thermal insulation three-in-one system includes four pre-catalyst near the engine and the two catalysts just before the muffler. Box contains two separate silencer - a small and a large amount. Regulated by valves controlled by the engine, which manage all elements of the great symphony twelve-cylinder - moderate to roar as it moves through the city at low speeds and screaming crescendo of maxed-out gear changes.

Electronics developed entirely Lamborghini

Another highlight is the engine management system, which was developed entirely by Lamborghini's engineers. The system consists of the main ECU, a second "smart actuators" and two black boxes, which function as "smart sensors". Since the rate is for an engine of this type, some ECU connection and control functions are handled by intelligent actuators, so the ECU two quick smart sensors constantly monitor combustion in real time -.. on each spark plug in each cylinder - each powered by a single ignition coil - work as "sensors", the two control units to monitor the auxiliary power signal after each shot and can immediately identify irregularities combustion process through ionization phenomena. This data is used to continuously optimize the engine management, benefiting both performance and fuel consumption.

Powerful in every dimension

All these technical advantages to create a power unit of high performance and others. The maximum power of 515 kW (700 hp) at 8250 rpm is an impressive statement in itself. Maximum torque is 690 Nm and is available at 5500 r / min. The torque curve is very generous, fleshy pulling power in all situations, very thoughtful responses and, above all, the fine modulation, but the sound is still very emotional for powering the unit L539 surprising for a super sports car first order. And not only was completely developed in-L539 Lamborghini, is also built from start to finish in the company's headquarters in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Highly qualified specialists assemble the engine by hand, each unit undergoes extensive testing and final calibration program detailing an engine test bench.

The new Lamborghini transmission ISR (ISR: Independent Shifting Rods) - Innovative servo gearbox for maximum performance

However, this is not the engine itself, which defines the character and driving characteristics of a super sports car. Another key element is the transmission. The demands are clear - the relationship must be well organized and allow optimal delivery of engine power. For maximum vehicle performance, the transit time must be less than the blink of an eye. The transaction must be clear and simple, with two paddles behind the wheel ergonomics. The characteristics of the transmission must be in line with the wishes of the driver at some point - the city without problems through the cruise to rule on the track. And most important, customers expect a change in attitude of emotional reactions Lamborghini sports car offers still can feel and understand. Therefore, the objective of development is clearly established in this sense, too - to create the material world, without the emotion.

For all these reasons, the engineers of R & D department has opted for a robotized gearbox, as the "companion" of the new V12 engine - however, a very special iteration Lamborghini ISR ??transmission. This important part of the chain is not only much lighter compared to a dual clutch transmission, but also has compact dimensions of a regular manual gearbox. The weight and size are the main advantages in the process of building super sports cars.

Unique Technical Services of the super sports cars

The new unit is designed as a two-shaft transmission with seven forward gears and one reverse. For durability especially high, the rings are made from the timing of carbon fiber - a material with which a Lamborghini has a huge experience. The short transit time is facilitated by the special design of the transmission, known as ISR - Independent Rod Change.

In summary, the principle - the traditional manual transmission, it is a fully automatic or manual gear, for, say, second gear and the third is located next to each other. When the pilot wants to float, move the synchronizing sleeve is moved along the shaft moves in second gear, gear through a neutral third party. This will require twice the distance and twice as long - second gear is turned off before the third gear can be made.

Short distances, faster travel times

This process is considerably shortened in the transmission Lamborghini ISR ??- the gears of the second and third are separated from each other and change the handles are activated by the rods of the independent variable. Now change the process can run almost parallel - while changing the shaft is a gear disengagement, the other changes the rod is already engaged the next gear. Because these movements partially overlap, and the distances are considerably shorter mechanical, which allows a significant saving time switching. Overall change in transmission Lamborghini ISR ??of approximately 140 percent faster than the transmission of e.gear Gallardo. And it is already one of the world's fastest automated manual gearbox.

Compact, lightweight

The new transfer is independent of these four electrodes in motion sensors, constantly monitoring their exact location. They are used either with a very high pressure hydraulic system is 60 bar to ensure the required speed. The system includes a total of seven hydraulic valves, the pressure supplied by the electric pump. Double-disc clutch is hydraulic. All components are included in a box. Transfer the total weight is only 70 pounds - a clear advantage, especially compared to the much heavier seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions.

Five modes for every situation

Lamborghini drivers can choose from five modes: manual three (Road, Sport and Racing) and two automatic (self-road and sports car). Highway mode provides a transition very comfort-oriented, which is also a choice of fully automatic. Sport mode is a dynamic exchange of points and times, but the Race mode produces the largest change in the strategy of running for the leadership track. This mode also includes a Launch Control feature automatically the largest acceleration from a standing start.

Lamborghini transmission with the ISR, the engineers working on the bull brand has developed a brilliant companion for the new twelve-cylinder engine. Their work has created the transmission everything is pretty unique in the world super sports cars.

Integrated electronic control

Excellent performances are only possible with the architecture of high-speed communication through a series of powertrain ECU and is considering the transfer of power as a system drive.

Fully electronic controlled coupling device for the front wheels (pair 'old' viscous) is another key point in a transmission line power: it can continue to share the correct torque the front wheels have always tried to get the best driver performance. Torque distribution front wheel can vary continuously from 0% to 60% of the total torque.

The suspensions and the push towards

The new V12 Lamborghini super sports car concept equipped with an innovative and highly advanced suspension. The concept of push spring and damper was inspired by Formula 1 and perfectly aligned to meet the needs of high performance road going vehicle. Wishbone suspension with dual aluminum and carbon-ceramic brakes, a lightweight chassis is another element of the unique technological concept in the new flagship model Lamborghini.

An impression of high precision, made with crisp, accurately describes the behavior of sports car soul of the newest and most powerful super never use the sign of Taurus. This includes a system of leadership that can think their way through a curve joining the perfect line, a suspension that teachers in the ideal balance between the race car off the road and thought a lot of comfort for the increase in miles and lateral stability which guarantees absolute safety, even at high speeds.

Push the suspension derived from motorsport

With its phenomenal performance of the engine of 515 kW / 700 hp and its relatively light weight, the new V12 Lamborghini super sports car blasts its way to higher speeds. The most important feature of the new suspension design is in line with the push start - inspired by Formula 1. Articles spring / damper units are not in the mountains of the wheel, but connected to the inside of the hull structure. Transversely placed: on the front windshield and close to the engine in the rear. Buttons and levers relay / rockers transmit the forces of the elements mounted wheels spring / damper.

Handling characteristics at all speeds

This solution provides a number of significant advantages: due to a combination of double wishbones and torsion bar arrangement of the engine, steering wheel and the damper remain separated from each other. As a result, management is more responsive and easier to control at all speeds, while the rigid body contact to improve the accuracy and the spontaneous reaction of the springs and shock absorbers. Consequently, the stiffness of the spring can be a little jagged 'back - will increase comfort, while the precision remains. Front axle, shock absorbers are equipped with a hydraulic system that allows the front of a super sports car to be raised 40 mm to push a button, simplifying the ability to negotiate small obstacles.

Engineering systematic lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum

Aluminum and carbon fiber are also important for the construction of lightweight chassis. The suspension, including upper and lower control arms, wheels and levers mounted relays are forged aluminum alloy. Large diameter disc of high-performance braking system, however, is made of lightweight and extremely durable carbon-ceramic composite material. On the front, ventilated discs measure no less than 400 mm in diameter, where the braking energy transmitted through the six-cylinder calipers. The rear axle of 380 mm diameter discs used in combination with a four-cylinder calipers. Parking brake is electrically operated at the top of the new Lamborghini.

Piloting of the forms of sensible relationship between driver and car

Hydraulic steering on the V12 Lamborghini forms of highly sensitive relationship between the driver and the super sports car that runs on 19-inch wheels wearing 255/35 tires in front and 20-inch wheels with 335/30 tires on back.

History - The twelve-cylinder in the heart of the brand with the bull

Lamborghini V12 engine - a long and glorious history. According to history books, Ferruccio Lamborghini established automotive company in the early sixties, because he wanted to improve the products offered at the time of the competition with the best technology and quality. The prototype of all subsequent super sports car Lamborghini 350 GTV was a study presented at the Turin Motor Show in 1963. It 'was a new twelve-cylinder aluminum chassis developed by the engine designer Giotto Gonzo, and praised the performance characteristics that were quite stunning standards of the time. 12-cylinder V with a cylinder bank angle of 60 ° four camshafts in the head (at the same time, when one of the cam was still the norm), the six-barrel carburetor and dry sump lubrication, there will be 360 ??hp 8000 rpm from a displacement 3497 cm3, which would take a maximum speed of the car concept is 280 km / h.

The GT version of 350 series with a traditional lubrication launched the following year produced 320 hp at 7000 rpm from a displacement of 3464 cm3.

It was exactly this engine that has captured the imagination of the fans shown in the Geneva Motor Show 1966 at the Lamborghini Miura. Despite its main features were already familiar with the GT 400, this time from the 60-liter four-cylinder engine was mounted transversely · Twelve behind the cab, transmission and differential in one unit plugs directly into the chassis.

HP 320 series of Miura, who was followed by the production of cars faster than his time, said a top speed over 280 km / h - and the first true supercar. This engine has been developed over the years, appearing in different iterations, Miura S (370 hp at 7000 rpm, 285 km / h) and the Miura SV (385 hp, 300 km / h). In Miura Jota, one-off made for racing, the V12 has generated 440 hp 8500 rpm. However, applications are limited to a four-liter mid-engined Miura. Islero front engine, introduced in 1968, and the Jarama 400 GT, produced 350 hp, while the figure futuristic Espada was 325 hp (later 350 hp). In 1974, the Espada has also seen the automatic transmission is offered for the first time.

The generational change Miura Countach LP400 the new took place in the early years. 1971 was the prototype of a breath, the nervous form, the genes that eventually would occur forty years later in the current Lamborghini super sports cars. Marcello Gandini was designing a suitable place for a version of five-liter V12.

However, the engine fell from the production model in 1973 for further development of the unity of four liters. In 1973, the Countach - still without the "wings" or the spoiler of four years - he was on the side behind the driver, where he made 375 hp at 8000 rpm, and reaches an impressive top speed of 300 km / h. In the years following Countach engine overhaul to a series of evolutionary development, but always based on the familiar foundation of the first unit of V12. In 1985 the Countach Quattrovalvole moving train during the five-liter mark for the first time (5167 cm3) and - as its name suggests - features a valve head with four cylinders. The output was an impressive 455 hp at 7000 rpm.

In 1986, the five-liter V12 presented with a brand new application - the Lamborghini LM002 may also have had the 450 hp engine mounted on the front, 2.7 tonnes but the car was the first and only SUV produced by the Brand, a four-die-terrain vehicle. The end of the four so incredibly long career in the Countach near its end with the Countach Anniversario. The Diablo followed as his heir, dressed in an outfit clearly nineties. In 1990, the V12 was increased to 5.7 liters, and by the end of the Diablo production for almost six liters, producing 492 hp. A year later, the Diablo VT is the first four-wheel drive sports car. Over the next few years, production has increased steadily to 520 hp (1993 Diablo SE). Diablo GT with 575 hp and 590 hp GTR radical both published in 1999. The Diablo 6.0 was the first model that includes a V12 with a displacement enlarged to six liters, its production eventually reaching 550 hp.

Murciélago was launched in 2001, the first Lamborghini to a new era. And he praised the new 6.2-liter V12 with a mixture of metal crankshaft bearings and a race dry sump lubrication. It produces 580 hp 7,500 rpm, and took a super sports car weighs only 1650 pounds and a top speed of 330 km / h. Maximum torque is 650 Nm at just 5,400 rpm was reached. The 2006 Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 presented, which produces 640 hp V12 unit, which has been extended to 6496 cm3. In strictly limited to the Lamborghini Reventon, twelve-cylinder, which is only generated 650 hp mark. The grand finale involved the Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce to 670 hp. However, 2011 marks the beginning of a new chapter in this great story
