The Lamborghini Aventador replacement is in the starting blocks. After showing off the car’s V12 hybrid powertrain last week, the bull-riding firm today unveils chassis and vehicle structurewith some interesting technical details.

Thus, we open the bottom of the LB744 (this is the code name of the model, not the final name), the bottom of which is obviously full of innovative technical solutions, in order to make the structure as light and strong as possible.

A new paradigm born to take you beyond your limits.
Its code name is LB744. This is our first HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) V12 hybrid super sports car.
Here’s a first look at its technical aspects.

Lightness and stiffness

The secret of Lamborghini’s new plug-in hybrid lies in its “monofuselage”, i.e full carbon fiber monocoque combined with a carbon front section with shorter fibers in a resin bath, a solution patented by Bull since 2008.

Engineers used carbon fiber not only to strengthen the body, but also improve the ability to absorb energy during a frontal impact.

According to Lamborghini, the monofuselage is 10% lighter than the Aventador chassis, and the new front end has resulted in an additional 20% weight gain. Torsional stiffness has increased by 25%, which directly affects the stability and responsiveness of the car during sports use.

Another innovation is the “rocker ring”, a special ring made of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic), which acts as the supporting structure of the car. This solution, developed using efficient and sustainable technology, reduces energy consumption and material waste throughout the entire production process. Lamborghini has also worked on the roof and the rear of the chassis to save a few more precious kilograms.

Everything you need to know about the engine

As a reminder, the Aventador will be replaced by a new V12 equipped with hybridization. This is an atmospheric 6.5-liter V12 that develops 825 hp. at 9250 rpm and 725 Nm of torque at 6750 rpm.

It will be connected to three electric motors only 1015 hp. The transmission is four-wheel drive, with two electric motors at the front (one per wheel) and one electric motor at the rear, mated to a new eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission behind the V12, which replaces the Aventador’s seven-speed gearbox. single clutch

This is the first hybrid model for Lamborghini. Equipped with a lithium-ion batteryCapacity 3.8 kW/h, it can be charged in 30 minutes on an AC network with a maximum power of 7 kW. Using regenerative braking and the V12 while the car is moving, the battery can be charged in just six minutes.

The characteristics are still unknown, but the presentation of the car should take place in the near future. This will be an opportunity to get to know the new model in more detail, which already promises to be exceptional.
