This is the extreme in the design and performance, without compromise in standards and technology, and unmistakably Italian in style and perfection. Overall, the dynamics and technical excellence of the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador create unparalleled in the arena of sports cars around the world super. "
 Aventador: the name of one of the most daring of all bulls
According to tradition, the ship bearing the name of the new Lamborghini bull - naturally, particularly courageous specimen of the world from the Spanish Corrida. Aventador is the name of the bull that goes into battle in October 1993 in Saragossa Arena, earning "Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera" extraordinary courage.


A statue of the dynamics of extreme
For Lamborghini, design is always the beauty of aggressive power, the elegance of the dynamics of the heart. From first glance, that obviously the new Lamborghini Aventador, wearing a brand characteristic and distinctive design language - with the proportion of very powerful, precise lines and surfaces proper, and the muscles tense in every detail. The designers at Centro Stile Lamborghini has carefully developed a design language to give the Lamborghini Aventador a significant new advantage. This is a work of art Avantgarde, a statue of a very dynamic, from the front end sharply honed through a very low roofline with a different rear diffuser. Each line has a clear function, every form is determined by the need for speed, but the overall look nothing less than spectacular and stunning.

The doors open upwards - of course
Really impressive proportions derived from the overall length of 4.78 meters (188.19 in.) matched with an impressive width of 2.26 meters (88.98 inches) including exterior mirrors, and further emphasized by a very low altitude of only 1.136 mm (44 , 72 in). It goes without saying that the two doors of the carbon fiber monocoque open upward - a feature first introduced in the now legendary Countach and then used for subsequent V12 models such as Diablo and Murcielago. However, Aventador also evokes immediate predecessor Murcielago - managed air intakes open depending on the electronic outdoor temperature and the need for cooling air, ensuring maximum aerodynamic efficiency. And for those whishing to flaunt the heart of their Lamborghini, the optional transparent engine bonnet exhibits the twelve-cylinder engine as the technical work of art in a display case.

Exclusive and high-tech interior
Spacious interiors by combining smooth Aventador exclusivity premium materials and perfect Italian craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology and generous equipment. Cover red switch in the middle of an extensive tunnel wraps the start button is used to generate a twelve-cylinder. The interior is dominated by a next-generation dashboard - like in modern airplanes, the instruments are presented on a TFT-LCD screen using innovative display concepts. A second screen is dedicated to the standard-fit multimedia and navigation systems.

Carbon-fiber monocoque
The new Lamborghini flagship has a full monocoque. Tues all residents, with tub and roof, is one single physical component. This ensures extreme rigidity and thus outstanding driving precision, as well as a very high level of passive safety for drivers and passengers. The entire monocoque weighs only 147.5 kilograms (325.18 pounds).



Monocoque, along with aluminum front and rear frames, features an impressive combination of extreme torsional stiffness of 35,000 Newton meters per degree and weighs only 229.5 kilograms (505.9 pounds).

Maximum revs, sounds amazing
For the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador, the engineers at Lamborghini's R & D Department has developed a high performance unit a completely new power - a power unit is extremely robust and high-revving, but very compact. At 235 kilograms (518 lb), it is also very light. A V12 with 515 kW (700 hp) at 8250 rpm sets a new benchmark, even in a world of super sports cars. The maximum output torque is 690 Newton meters (509 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm. Torque curve is very well-rounded, bull-like traction in every situation, spontaneous response and, last but not least, subtle acoustic modulated but always highly emotional is what makes this machine an amazing power of a very high order.

Innovative transmission for maximum performance
Engineers at Lamborghini have created the perfect partner for the twelve-cylinder engine with a new transmission (shift rods Independent) very innovative ISR. Clearly defined development objectives - to build not only the fastest robotized gearbox, but also to create the world's most emotional overdrive. Compared with dual-clutch transmission, not only the ISR gearbox is lighter, it also has smaller dimensions than a conventional manual unit - both key elements in the field of lightweight engineering for super sports car.

Smooth and safe with all-wheel drive
This kind of highly reliable power must be delivered to the road. The driver of the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador can depend entirely on the permanent all-wheel drive - indicated by 4 in the model designation. In the driveline, an electronically controlled Haldex clutch distributes power between front and rear. In a matter of milliseconds, this coupling adjusting the distribution of power to adjust the dynamic situation. A self-blocking rear differential together with the front differential is electronically controlled by ESP makes for more dynamic handling. Select Hard mode system allows the driver to choose vehicle characteristics (engine, transmission, differential, and dynamic steering control) from three settings - Strada (road), Sport and Corsa (track) - according to his individual preferences.

Pushrod suspension
Lamborghini has equipped the new V12 super sports car with an innovative suspension concept and very sophisticated. The pushrod spring and damper concept was inspired by Formula 1 and tuned perfectly to meet the needs of high performance vehicles to the road. Together with aluminum double wishbone suspension and carbon fiber ceramic brake system, this lightweight chassis is a further aspect of the new flagship's unique technology concept.

Extensive assistance and safety systems
In the hands of its drivers, Aventador Lamborghini LP700-4 is a high precision machine - spontaneous, direct and always reliable. The driver is also aided by the latest electronic systems such as systems, very sporty ESP adjusted. When it comes to passive safety, front, head, chest and knee airbags act together very stiff carbon fiber cells.

A rich and extensive individualization program
A Lamborghini should always fit your style and preferences of their owners. For this purpose, a wide selection of individualization is almost inexhaustible. There are 13 production paint colors to choose from, three highly sophisticated matt tones. A choice of two-tone interior is offered with the "Sportivo" and "Elegante" versions, while the premium audio system and reversing camera are among the many technology options. And of course, "Ad Personam" individualization program knows no limits when it comes to colors and materials.

design
Every Lamborghini is a work of art Avantgarde, a fast-moving technical sculpture. Every line, every detail of a super sports car from Sant'Agata derived from its function - namely speed, dynamics, performance. Every Lamborghini is a pure dream, reduced to its nature.

With the new Aventador LP700-4, the designers at the Centro Stile Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese have taken this philosophy is committed to a new level - extreme, sharp lines depict precision without parallel in automotive design. And the surface is clean, taut and expert execution showed remarkable competence and depth of experience possessed by Lamborghini in carbon fiber shell design.

The surface of the roof has a new geometry that provides greater spaciousness for passengers while at the same time provide assistance to the line from the front. It also addresses the goal of obtaining a better aerodynamic coefficient, continuing the Lamborghini design philosophy of 'form follows function'.

Close the machine uses the same styling giving continuity to the concept.

Inspiration from aeronautics
For further development of the Lamborghini design language, designers draw inspiration from another sphere dominated by the speed and dynamics - from modern aeronautics, from the fastest airplane in the world and the most agile. This led to the design maximum functionality and spectacular sharpness, a design language is very precise and very technical with a new kind of vitality. Strongly defined lines and taut surfaces create interesting light and shadow each other, endowing the car with tremendous visual movement. The limited edition Reventón - a work of automotive art - 'technology demonstrator' and Sesto Elemento is a pioneer of this philosophy: Aventador is Lamborghini's first production car series to realize this vision.

The Aventador, of course, also follows the mid-engine concept, the vehicle weight is concentrated around the vertical axis to reduce inertia and optimize dynamics. With the legendary Countach, Lamborghini was a pioneer of the mid-engine construction, a revolutionary concept that brings racing technology to the street. The design of the Lamborghini Aventador adds visual emphasis to mid-engine layout, with the view that concentrating forces on the rear axle.

Aerodynamic efficiency is very important
For such a powerful car, the most important tasks of the shell design is aerodynamic efficiency: the optimum airflow for absolute stability at all speeds and, at the same time, optimum cooling for the engine. In Aventador, all aerodynamic elements are integrated into the form of shells, from the front spoiler with rear diffuser. A key role is played by the underbody, optimized flat. Deployable rear spoiler and controlled electronically. At rest, lies flush with the rear of the vehicle, in operation, it has two positions - a 4 degree approach angle is optimized for high-speed directional stability and helps the top end of the spectrum. The slope of 11 degrees, on the other hand, provides much greater downforce on the mid-range speeds, helping to optimize handling and stability. The car uses dynamic parameters to calculate their own most appropriate tilt angle.

Impressive proportions, large air intakes
The first striking impression of the Lamborghini Aventador focuses on proportions. On the length of 4.78 meters (188.19 in.), it is truly impressive 2.26 meters (88.98 inches) wide including exterior mirrors, but only the 1136-meter (44.72 inches) high. Wide impression is further emphasized by the widely spaced air intakes and headlamp units.

A very low front Aventador takes a different form of arrows, with the Lamborghini bull symbol gracing both the point and the center line, which continues along the entire length of the vehicle. Strong air guide and the profile is further emphasized by their glossy, black frame. Bi-xenon headlamps are clustered with the LED units for daytime running lights and indicators under a hexagonal casing. Daytime running lights from the LED light guide that encloses the main headlamp in the form of Y. Seven LEDs provide more light sources for the indicators.

Two strokes define the line side
A very long side view is dominated by a very low roofline and by two strokes - the first emphasizes the front wheel arches, lines, both begins very sharply drawn on the front wheel arches and runs like a tensed muscle along the entire side of the car and over the rear wheels. The door is hidden and mighty threshold further testimony to determine the function of the Lamborghini design. In the end, these forms serve only one purpose - to provide the maximum volume of cooling air to the mighty V12 power plant. The large air intakes behind the top-opening doors are also covered in black plastic frame and is maintained by a fine mesh. Engine air intake is located on the roof pillars, side windows behind the third. And when cooling requirements are very high, additional air channels open at the rear wheel arches.

The back, is also dominated by openings framed in black, in which the hot air to find the exit. The entire rear section is a three-dimensional in design. Lower diffuser stands in strong relief, while the large format of the hexagonal tail pipe symbolizes the potential for concentrated machine. Rear lights in LED technology has been repeated three Y motifs familiar from current Lamborghini models.

V12 as an object of beauty technical
Equally familiar is the transparent engine bonnet (optional), which adds a very interesting dimension to the emotional perspective on Aventador. The twelve-cylinder power unit, with a mighty black intake manifold, technically located in all its glory under the three-panel cover. It is framed by diagonal carbon fiber struts and accompanied by a strong damping of the suspension pushrod.

Design philosophy led to the surprisingly roomy. The cockpit is entirely smooth leather and also take the form of fine arrows. Controls are logically grouped on a wide center console. Here too, the inspiration comes from the airline immediately visible - like in modern airplanes, the instruments are presented on a TFT-LCD screen. In the middle of the dial screen - at the touch of a button, the driver can choose whether he would rather see the speed read-out road or engine speed. More information ranging from fuel level to the output of on-board computers are grouped in the fields surrounding a large dial.

Operating system
The most important switch is hidden beneath a red switch cover - the start button, which immediately fires a high-performance engine in life.

A second seven-inch TFT-LCD screen in the center console's integrated multimedia system. Beneath it is a familiar array of Lamborghini switch switch to operating functions such as power windows or front wheel lift system, and controls for air conditioning.

The Aventador Lamborghini LP700-4 offers a state-of-the-art and comprehensive range of vehicle systems, entertainment and electronic communications. These functions are operated with a clear and intuitive way through the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) in the center console, the display control push / turn large and eight function keys.



The carbon fiber monocoque of the Lamborghini Aventador
Lamborghini is heading into the future with the concept of systematic lightweight design - intensive application of carbon fiber material to form the primary basis for the extreme dynamics of the new Aventador LP700-4. The new flagship is based on a full monocoque construction made with innovative materials - conceived and produced entirely by Automobili Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese.

This development saw the Lamborghini once again demonstrated the world's leading expertise in carbon fiber technology. Super sports car brand from Sant'Agata Bolognese is the only car to have fully mastered the extensive CFRP process in a variety of technologies in-house - from 3D design, through simulation, testing, production and validation using state-of-the-art industrial processes with a very high quality standards. With the Aventador, Lamborghini is putting an innovative, in-house developed and patented technology into series production for the first time.

Cells from the future flagship car of Lamborghini super sports made entirely of carbon fiber and has been designed as a monocoque structure. The structure of the vehicle load engineered as a "single shell" that functions physically as one component, so take full advantage of the extreme rigidity of CFRP. Formula 1 racing car has been built using CFRP monocoques for many years - and have proven their eligibility accidents time and again. The same applies to road-going sports cars featuring monocoque technology - carbon fiber occupant cell functions such as the roll cage is very secure.

Construction provides many advantages
Of course, the "single shell" term applies only in a descriptive sense - the new Lamborghini monocoque is made of a series of individual parts with specific functions and technologies, such as rigid element made from braiding technology, which is one of the best technology to manage energy adsorption in case of accident. After the curing process, however, this structure functions as a single component - including the base, known as a bathtub and a complete roof.

Monocoque complete solution offers benefits that other processes, such as the tub where the metal roof structure is attached by conventional means, can not realize. That's why Lamborghini make a choice without compromise of the full monocoque, which weighs only 147.5 kilograms (324.5 pounds).

Very rigid construction
Superior passive safety is only one benefit of the extreme rigidity of the monocoque full carbon fiber - a very high torsional rigidity is another. Monocoque is connected at the front and back with the same rigid aluminum sub-frame, in which the suspension, engine and transmission are mounted.

Body-in-white all future V12 model weighs only 229.5 kilograms (505 lbs) and offers a phenomenal torsional stiffness of 35,000 Newton meters per degree of twist. This ensures incredible feeling of solidity, but more importantly, very precise control of the steering wheel with excellent precision and sensitive feedback. For the dedicated driver, both essential for really exciting driving pleasure. The new Lamborghini flagship respond to the most minute steering input with stunning precision of a perfectly balanced race car.

Depending on the function, form and requirements of individual elements, the Lamborghini development team was chosen from three main CFRP manufacturing methods in the technology tool kit. They not only differ in their manufacturing process, but also in the type of carbon fiber and the weave and, most importantly, the chemical composition of the synthetic resin used.

Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM): In this process the carbon fiber mats are preformed and impregnated with the right amount of resin. After that, they are cured under heat while the inside of the mold. Lamborghini has achieved a major breakthrough by further developing this method. Using patented "RTM-Lambo" process, the final mold is no longer a part, the complex heavy metal, but made instead from lightweight carbon fiber parts, thus making the manufacturing process faster, more flexible and more efficient.

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

Prepreg - The carbon fiber mats used in this method, commonly known as prepreg, are pre-injected by the supplier with a thermosetting liquid resin and must be stored at low temperatures. Mat and then laminated in molds and cured under heat and pressure in an autoclave. Prepreg components of the complex to make, but it has a very high quality surface finish (Class-A surface quality) and is therefore the preferred choice for use in visible locations.

Braiding - These components are manufactured using RTM technology. This weave of carbon fiber technology from the textile industry and tubes used to make components for special applications such as structural roof pillars and rocker panels. Components made ​​by diagonally woven fiber build in multiple layers.

The monocoque of the new V12 super sports car built using this technology is applied in a series of special processes. One significant advancement Lamborghini realized is the ability to use a monocoque elements that have been assembled as a mold for the next step in the process. This makes for a simplification of the manufacturing process compared with conventional methods.

Component epoxy foam is also used in the monocoque. They are placed at strategic points to enhance rigidity of the monocoque by working as a spacer between the composite layers while also reducing noise and vibration. Moreover, inserting an aluminum laminated to the front and rear surfaces to facilitate connection with the front and rear aluminum sub-frame elements.

Because of the complexity of the materials and processes described above, Lamborghini decided to produce a new monocoque completely in-house, manage a strategic step in the production process.

Quality control is a really important factor - every single monocoque to demanding tolerances measured just 0.1 millimeters, facilitating the extreme precision of the overall vehicle. Quality control begins with the purchase of carbon fiber parts. Every delivery of carbon fiber material that is certified and regularly inspected to meet quality standards. Lamborghini working with suppliers to develop the exclusive world of fiber and resin system for its RTM technology. Finally, the materials and processes is an important part of the world's leading expertise in the field Lamborghini.

Carbon composite materials - A key technology for tomorrow's high-performance automotive engineering

These materials are made of CFRP combine the lowest possible weight with excellent material characteristics - they are very light, very stiff and very precise.

Furthermore, CFRP materials can also be formed into a highly complex components with built-in functions. This will reduce the number of individual parts when compared to traditional metal construction - thus enabling further weight reduction. Lighter cars have lower fuel consumption and less CO2 emissions. Most significantly, however, increasing the ratio of power-to-weight - a decisive factor in the overall feel and performance of a sports car. A super sports car built using CFRP accelerates faster, has superior handling and better braking.

The new V12 power unit - the heart of the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador

The twelve-cylinder engine is the king of the world and a sincere heart of the Lamborghini brand. The first model was made by Feruccio Lamborghini, 350 GT, made its appearance in 1964 twelve-cylinder engine featuring a very innovative for its day. 3.5 liter displacement and 320 hp is important statistics back then - they form the basis for sustainable and enhance the further development over the next few decades. Miura, Espada, Countach, Diablo and, finally, only a few Murciélago super sports cars born in Sant'Agata. All of them, and will continue, driven by V12 engines - and all have long rise to the status of automotive legend.

Now the next milestone in the glorious history appears - engineers in R & D Department Lamborghini has developed a high-performance power unit is really new. That the twelve-cylinder was never in doubt - and not just because of a special magic conjured up by the number twelve. The only real choice for Lamborghini is a high-revving naturally aspirated engine - very reflexive reaction and a very strong car for the smallest movement of the driver's right foot, of course, a key part of the overall attraction inspired by the super sports car. Ten cylinders are ideal in the displacement class around the mark, five-liter engine as evidenced by the highly acclaimed Gallardo. For the 6.5 liter displacement targeted in this case, the perfect number is twelve. A lower number will result in the piston cylinder larger and heavier and con-rods, which would have a negative impact on high-revving engine characteristics.

Starting with a clean piece of paper
Specifications for the development of new twelve-cylinder, known internally as the L539, was written quickly - yet very demanding in its formulation. Sure, he should give more power and torque than its predecessor in the Murcielago, but also should be smaller and lighter and allows a lower center of gravity. At the end of the day, low weight is as important as the performance of a sports car super high power output. Fuel consumption and gas emissions must also be reduced significantly.

So R & D team started with a piece of paper - metaphorically speaking, of course. Design and development in Sant'Agata performed using state-of-the-art systems and equipment. The result is a V12 with a classic cylinder bank angle of 60 degrees, and with such tremendous force package compact - the power unit measures only 665 millimeters from top to bottom, including the intake system. Width, including the exhaust manifold, only 848 millimeters, while the length is only 784 millimeters. Its weight of 235 kilograms of low polite too - every kilogram of weight of the machine in accordance with a maximum output of 3.0 HP.

Optimized for high revving and low weight
Crankcase on a new power plant is made of aluminum-silicon alloy and has an open deck construction with steel cylinder liners. Displacement is 6498 cm3 and cylinder spacing 103.5 millimeters, while the diameter of the hole size of 95 millimeters and the stroke 76.4 millimeters. Short stroke layout is especially good for high-revving characteristics and low internal friction. Special attention is also given on the bearings for the crankshaft is forged and nitride-hardened, which weighs in at 24.6 pounds.

Both four-valve cylinder heads are also made of sand-cast aluminum-silicon alloy, each with a very light weight of 21 kilograms. Twelve pistons and con-rods, respectively, in forged alloy and steel. The maximum piston speed at 8250 rpm is only 21 meters per second, which is much less than for the Murciélago's previous power unit. Combustion chamber are carefully engineered to achieve optimum falling and burning mixture of fuel / air. At 11.8:1, the compression ratio is very high. Inlet and outlet when the valve is controlled electronically.

Advanced thermal management, optimized oil circulation
Thermal management of high-performance power unit enhanced with extensive detail engineering. Two switchable water circuits in the machine ensures a very rapid heating, which minimizes friction and quickly bring the catalytic converter up to operating temperature, thus benefiting fuel consumption and emissions. External water coolers are switched into the circuit only as needed.

Absolute health machine, even under extreme conditions with horse racing high lateral acceleration, is guaranteed by oil circulation using a dry sump system. A total of eight scavenger pump to suck oil from the bottom tied to a crankcase bedplate. Pressure and thereby reducing flushing losses of about 50 percent. An oil pump to maintain a high-pressure lubrication, while the oil cooler / radiator water and oil / air continues to keep the temperature within range even under very high loads. A further benefit of this form of dry sump lubrication is a very low mounting position of the engine in a sports car. The new engine is mounted 60 millimeters lower than the Murcielago V12 - with associated benefits in terms of center of gravity and lateral dynamics.

From the outside, the V12 is dominated by its intake system - which incorporates four individual throttle valves. Life in the black housing is also very complex - the optimum intake path for any given load and engine speed is facilitated by two flaps, several channels and one bypass. Payback is a torque curve very well-rounded and subtle charm throughout the rev range.

Large orchestra for twelve votes
The exhaust system also, it was given the full attention of engineers Lamborghini - as low gas emission targets may be as important as sound, clear bone-tingling Lamborghini. Hydro-formed and thermally insulated three-into-one system incorporates four pre-catalytic converters close to the engine and two main catalytic converters shortly before the muffler. Casing incorporates two separate mufflers - one low-volume, high volume one. Regulated by valves controlled via engine management, they handle all the elements of the twelve cylinder symphony of - of moderate rumble when scrolling through the city at low revs to a screaming crescendo maxed-out gear change.

Electronics designed entirely by Lamborghini
Another highlight is the electronic engine management, developed as a whole by the engineers at Lamborghini. This system consists of the main ECU, a secondary "smart actuators" and two additional black box that serves as a "smart sensor". Because speed is everything to a machine like this, some ECU control and connection functions are handled by the smart actuators, making the ECU faster. Both smart sensors that constantly monitor combustion in real time - each ignition in each cylinder. Spark plugs - each supported by individual ignition coil - function as "sensors", two additional control unit monitors the electrical signal after every ignition and can immediately identify irregularities in the combustion process through ionization phenomena. This data is used to continuously optimize engine management, benefiting both performance and fuel consumption.

High performance in each dimension
All the technical highlights come together to create high-performance power unit like no other. The maximum output of 515 kW (700 hp) at 8250 rpm is an impressive statement in itself. The maximum torque of 690 Newton meters and is available at 5,500 r / min. Torque curve is very generous, the appeal of fat in every situation, the response is reflexive and, at least, with finely modulated but always highly emotional acoustics make the L539 unit of the amazing power for a super sports car of the highest order. And not only is the L539 developed entirely in-house at Lamborghini, also built from start to finish at company headquarters in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Highly qualified specialists assemble the machine by hand, with every single unit undergoing final testing and calibration program extensive detail on the engine test bed.

The new Lamborghini transmission ISR (ISR: Trunk Shifts Independent) - Innovative servo-driven mechanical gearbox for maximum performance

However, it is not the only machine that defines the character and driving characteristics of a super sports car. Another key element is the transmission. Demands are clear - the ratio should be perfectly arrayed and enable the delivery of optimum power from the engine. For maximum vehicle performance, shift times should be less than the blink of an eye. Operations should be clear and easily, via two ergonomic shift paddles behind the wheel. Transmission characteristics shall be in accordance with the wishes of the driver at a certain point - from smooth cruising through the city crackdown on the racetrack. And, at least, Lamborghini customers expect a shift in feelings of emotional reaction that ensures sports car can always be felt and understood. Thus, the development goals clearly formulated in this case, too - making the world's most emotional overdrive.

For all these reasons, the engineers in R & D Department chose robotized gearbox as the "companion" of the units of the new V12 power - however, in a very special iteration: the Lamborghini ISR transmission. This is an important part of the powertrain is not only much lighter than the dual clutch transmission, also has a compact dimension of regular manual gearbox. Both weight and size is a key advantage in the process of building a super sports car.

Uniquely engineered for super sports car
The new unit is arranged as a two-shaft transmission with seven forward gears and one reverse. For very high durability, synchronizing rings are made of carbon fiber - a material with which Lamborghini had a great experience. The time shift is facilitated by the design brief of the special transmission, known as ISR - Independent Shifting Rod.

To summarize the principle - in a conventional manual gearbox, either manual or fully automatic, gears for, say, second and third gear are located side by side. When the driver wanted to gear, the shift arm with synchronization unit moved along the rod shift from second gear to third gear through the neutral. It takes two times and two times the distance of time - the second gear tooth must be removed before the third can be involved.

The distance is short, fast shift times
This process is significantly shortened in the Lamborghini ISR ​​transmission - the gears of the second and third gears are separated from one another and shift sleeve is activated by sliding the rod independently. Now the process shifts can run almost in parallel - while one shift rod off one tooth, a second shift rod can already engage the next gear. Because these movements partially overlap and the mechanical distances are much shorter, this facilitates significant savings in time shift. Overall, the Lamborghini ISR ​​transmission shifts around 140 percent faster than the Gallardo e.gear transmission. And it has become one of the world's fastest gearbox automated instructions.

Compact construction, low weight
The new transmission has four independent shift rod, with sensors to constantly monitor their exact position. They are operated via hydraulic actuators, with a very high pressure system ensures 60 bar operating speed is required. The system incorporates a total of seven hydraulic valves, with pressure supplied by an electric pump. Double-plate clutch is also hydraulically actuated. All system components are contained in a single casing. The total weight of the transmission of only 70 kilograms - a distinct advantage, especially compared with seven teeth significantly heavier dual-clutch transmission.

Five modes of operation for all situations
Lamborghini drivers can choose between five operating modes: three manual (Strada, Sport and Corsa) and two automatic (Strada-Sports-automatic and automatic). Strada mode offers the convenience of a highly oriented shift, with fully-automatic also an option. Sport mode has a dynamic set-up in terms of shift and time points, while the Corsa mode provides maximum shift strategy for race track driving. This mode also includes a Launch Control, the automatic function for maximum acceleration from a standing start.

With the Lamborghini ISR ​​transmission, engineers working under the sign of the bull has created a clever partner for the twelve-cylinder power unit of the new. Their work has created an overall powertrain that is truly unique in the world of super sports car.

Integrated electronic control system
Excellent performances that may only be by a fast communication architecture through some ECU powertrain and powertrain consider as ONE-system in the car.

Fully electronically controlled coupling device for the front wheels (the 'old' viscous coupling) is a key point of the powertrain: it is able to continue to distribute torque to the front right wheel to always achieve the best performance aspired to by the driver. The distribution of torque to the front wheels can vary continuously from 0% to 60% of the total available torque.

Pushrod suspension and steering
The new V12 Lamborghini super sports car concept features an innovative suspension and highly advanced. The pushrod spring and damper concept was inspired by Formula 1 and tuned perfectly to meet the needs of high performance vehicles to the road. Together with aluminum double wishbone suspension and carbon ceramic brake system, this lightweight chassis is an element of the concept of a unique technology in the new flagship model Lamborghini.

A feel so right, indeed a sharp, driving to accurately describe the soul of a sports car super latest and most powerful ever bear the marks of the bull. It includes a steering system that can think through the bend to follow the perfect line, a suspension which controls an ideal balance between race-car feel for the road and a lot of comfort for a sleek miles, and lateral stability that ensures absolute safety, even at very high speeds .

Pushrod suspension derived from motorsport
With its phenomenal engine output of 515 kW / 700 hp and relatively low vehicle weight, the new V12 Lamborghini super sports cars from the explosion of the road at breakneck speed. The most important characteristic of the new suspension is in line with the principle pushrod design - inspired by Formula 1. Spring / damper elements are not located on the wheels of the vehicle, but connected to the inboard shell structure. They are positioned crosswise: under glass in front of and close to the engine in the rear. Pushrods and relay lever / rocker to send troops from the mountain wheel for spring / damper elements.

Responsive handling characteristics at all speeds
This solution offers an impressive range of benefits: due to a combination of the double wishbone and pushrod arrangement, steering and damper remain separate from one another. As a result, handling is more responsive and easier to manage at all speeds, while the rigid connection to the chassis also improves the precise and spontaneous reaction of the springs and dampers. As a result, spring stiffness can be notched back a bit - increase comfort, while retaining precision. On the front axle, shock absorbers are equipped with hydraulic lifting system, which allows the front end super sports car to be appointed by 40 millimeters at the touch of a button, simplifying the ability to negotiate minor obstacles.

Lightweight systematic engineering in aluminum and carbon fiber
Aluminum and carbon fiber are also the most important engineering materials lighter on the chassis. The entire suspension system, including upper and lower control arms, wheel mounts and relay levers made of forged aluminum alloy. Large-diameter discs at a high-performance brake system, on the other hand, is made of lightweight carbon and extremely hard-wearing ceramic composite material. On the front axle, ventilated discs measure no less than 400 millimeters in diameter, with braking force delivered via six cylinder calipers. At the rear axle, 380 millimeter diameter discs are used in combination with four cylinder calipers. Parking brake on top of new electric-powered Lamborghini models.

Steering a sensitive form of the relationship between driver and car
Hydraulic steering on the Lamborghini V12 forms a very sensitive relationship between the driver and the super sports car, which runs on 19-inch wheels clad in 255/35 tires in front and 20-inch rims with 335/30 tires at the rear. Accessories Steering predict three distinct characteristics servotronic managed by selecting the drive mode.

History - twelve cylinders in the heart of the brand with the bull

Lamborghini V12 - a long and noble story. According to history books, Ferruccio Lamborghini founded a car company in the early sixties because he wanted better products offered at the time of the competition, with the best technology and quality. The prototype for all later Lamborghini super sports car is 350 GTV study presented at the Turin Motor Show in 1963. It featured all-new twelve-cylinder aluminum engine was developed from scratch by the designer Giotto Bizzarrini and boasting performance figures are nothing short of amazing by the standards of that time. 12-cylinder V-engine with 60 degrees of bank angle cylinder, four overhead camshafts (at the time of a single camshaft is still the norm), six-bbl carburetor and dry sump lubrication, produced 360 hp at 8,000 rpm from a displacement 3497 cm3 will take a concept car for speed top 280 km / h. With the 350 GT series production version with conventional lubricants launched the following year produced 320 hp at 7,000 rpm of 3464 cm3 displacement.

It is exactly this engine that captures the imagination of the show-goers at the Geneva Auto Salon in a 1966 Lamborghini Miura. Although the main features already familiar from the 400 GT, this time a four-liter 60 ° twelve-cylinder engine mounted transversely behind the cockpit, with the transmission and differential in one unit are fixed directly to the frame.

Makes 320 hp Miura production series that follows the time the fastest production car with a claimed top speed over 280 km / h - and, with it, the first true super sports car. This engine was further developed over the years, by displaying several iterations in the S Miura (370 hp at 7,000 rpm, 285 km / h) and Miura SV (385 hp, 300 km / h). In Miura Jota, one-off made for racing, V12 produced 440 hp at 8500 rpm. However, applications for four liters is not limited to the mid-engine Miura. In front of the engine Islero, introduced in 1968, and in 400 GT Jarama, producing 350 hp, while the Espada futuristic figure 325 hp (350 hp then also). In 1974, Espada also saw an automatic transmission is offered for the first time.

The shift from the generation of new LP400 Countach Miura to occur in the early seventies. 1971 brought the prototype to the shape, restless heart, the gene will eventually re-emerged forty years later in present-day Lamborghini super sports cars. Marcello Gandini design is suitable clothing for the five-liter version of the V12.

However, this engine was dropped from the series production model in 1973 in support of the further evolution of the four-liter unit. In 1973 Countach - still without a spoiler "wings" or the eighties - it was mounted longitudinally behind the driver, where he produced 375 hp at 8,000 rpm and reaches an impressive top speed of 300 km / h. In the following years saw the Countach engine undergo a series of developments evolution, although still based on familiar ground units first V12. It was in 1985 that the Countach Quattrovalvole take over the transfer mark for the first time five liters (5167 cm3) and - as the name suggests - featuring four-valve cylinder head. The output is an impressive 455 hp at 7000 rpm.

In 1986, a five-liter V12 is presented with an entirely new application - Lamborghini LM002 may also have a 450 hp engine mounted on the front, but the 2.7 ton car is the first and only SUV produced by the brand, four-door vehicle all terrain. Late eighties saw an unusually long career near the end with Anniversario Countach Countach. Diablo followed as the legitimate heir, wearing the typical dress of the nineties. In 1990, the V12 has been increased to 5.7 liters and at the end of Diablo production to almost six liters, producing 492 hp. One year later, the Diablo VT brand's first four-wheel drive sports car. Over the next few years, the output continued to grow to 520 hp (1993 Diablo SE). Diablo GT with 575 hp and 590 hp GTR radical with both appeared in 1999. The Diablo 6.0 is the first model to feature extended to V12 with a displacement of six liters, eventually reaching 550 hp output.
