Overall, the dynamics of technical excellence and the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador create unparalleled in the arena of world super sports car. "
Aventador: the name of one of the most daring of all bulls
According to tradition, the new Lamborghini flagship is named after the bull - of course, a very courageous specimen from the world of Spanish bullfighting. Aventador is the name of the bull that goes into battle in October 1993 at the Arena in Zaragoza, productive "Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera" because of her extraordinary courage.
A statue of the extreme dynamics
For Lamborghini, design is always the beauty of aggressive power, the elegance of the dynamics of the heart. At first sight, no doubt the new Lamborghini Aventador, wear characteristics of the brand and distinctive design language - with a very strong, accurate lines and surfaces proper proportions, and with a strained muscle in every detail. The designers of the Centro Stile Lamborghini has carefully developed a design language to provide Aventador Lamborghini significant advantage of the new. This is a pioneering work of art, a sculpture that is very dynamic, from the front end is sharpened by the very low roofline for a different rear diffuser. Each line has a clear function, every form is determined by his need for speed, but the general appearance of no less than spectacular and stunning.
The doors open - of courseThe proportion of truly impressive with a total length of 4.78 meters (188.19 in) paired with an impressive width of 2.26 meters (88.98 in) including mirrors, and emphasized by a very low level of only 1.136 mm (44.72 inches). It goes without saying that the two gates of the carbon fiber monocoque open - a feature that was 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 outside temperature electronics and the need for cooling air, ensuring maximum aerodynamic efficiency. And for those who want to show off their Lamborghini's heart, showing the optional transparent engine cover twelve-cylinder engine as the technical work of art in glass cabinets.
Exclusive interior and high-tech
Spacious interior combines exclusive materials Aventador good quality and perfect Italian craftsmanship with state of the art technology and generous equipment. Close the red switch in the wide center tunnel wrapped around the start button is used to generate twelve cylinders. The interior is dominated by the pinch of a new generation - just like in modern airplanes, the instruments are presented on a TFT-LCD screens using an innovative concept. A second screen is dedicated to a standard-form multimedia and navigation systems.
Carbon fiber monocoque
The new Lamborghini flagship has a full monocoque. The inhabitants of the entire cell, with tub and roof, is a 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 front and rear aluminum frame, has an impressive combination of extreme torsion stiffness of 35,000 Newton-meters per degree and weight of 229.5 kg (505.9 pounds).
Maximum speed, a remarkableLamborghini LP700-4 Aventador to, the engineers in R & D department has developed a power unit Lamborghini completely new high performance - a very strong power supply and high speed, but very compact. At 235 kg (518 lb), is also very light. A V12 515 kW (700 hp) at 8250 rpm is a reference brand new, even in the world of super sports car. Maximum torque is 690 Newton-meter (509 lb.-ft.) at 5500 rpm. Torque curve is very balanced, attractive bull strength in all situations, spontaneous response and, last but not least, finely modulated voice, but still very emotional is what makes this machine a surprise first-class power plants.
Innovative transmission for maximum performance
Lamborghini engineers have created the perfect companion for the twelve-cylinder engine with a new transmission (shift rods Independent) innovative ISR. Clearly defined development objectives - to build not only the fastest robotized gearbox, but also to create movement in the world's most emotional material. Compared with dual-clutch transmission, not only lighter gearbox ISR, also has smaller dimensions than a conventional manual unit - two key elements in the technical field of light for a 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 may depend entirely on the permanent four-wheel drive - indicated by 4 in the model designation. In the driveline, an electronically controlled Haldex clutch distributes power between front and rear wheels. In milliseconds, this coupling adjusting the distribution of power to adjust the dynamic situation. A locking rear differential to the front differential is electronically controlled by ESP make for a more dynamic manipulation. System drive select mode 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 their individual preferences.
Encouragement suspension
Lamborghini has equipped the new V12 super sports car with an innovative concept of the suspension and highly advanced. The concept of the plunger spring and shock absorber inspired by Formula 1 and tuned perfectly to meet the needs of the high road going vehicle performance. Together with double wishbone aluminum and carbon fiber ceramic brakes, lightweight chassis is another aspect of the new flagship concept of a unique technology.
Substantial assistance and safety systems
In the hands of its driver, Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador is a high precision machine - spontaneous, direct and always reliable. The driver is also supported by the latest electronic systems such as systems, very sporty ESP adjusted. When it comes to passive safety front, the head-chest airbag and knee joint plays a very rigid carbon fiber cells.
A rich and extensive individualization
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 color choices of paint production options, three highly sophisticated matt tones. A choice of two-tone interior is offered with the "Sportivo" and "Elegante" versions, while high-end audio system and rearview camera is among the many technology options. And of course, individualization program "ad personam 'knows no boundaries when it comes to colors and materials.
Design
Every Lamborghini is an avant-garde art, sculpture fast moving technology. Every line, every detail of a super sports car from Sant'Agata derived from its function - namely speed, dynamic performance. Every Lamborghini is a dream for the purists, reduced to its essence.
With the new Aventador LP700-4, the designers of the Centro Stile Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese have taken this philosophy is committed to a new level - the extreme sharpness of the lines illustrate the precision that is unmatched in car design. And the surface is clean, tight and expert execution showed tremendous skill and depth of experience possessed by Lamborghini in carbon fiber body design.
The surface of the roof has a new geometry which allows for greater interior space for passengers while at the same time provide assistance to the line from the front. It also discusses the purpose of obtaining a better aerodynamic coefficient, continuing the Lamborghini design philosophy of "form follows function".
Hood using the same style, giving continuity to this concept.
Inspiration from aeronautics
For further development of the Lamborghini design language, designers drew inspiration from another sphere dominated by the speed and dynamics - modern aviation, from aircraft faster and more agile in the world. This led to the conception of maximum functionality and spectacular clarity, the design language is very precise and very technical with new vitality. Highly defined lines and taut surfaces creating exciting games of light and shadow, giving the car visual movement great. The limited edition Reventón - a work of automotive art - "technology demonstrator" Sesto Elemento and the pioneer of this philosophy: Aventador is the first series production car Lamborghini realize this vision.
The Aventador, of course, also follows the concept of the central engine, vehicle weight is concentrated around the vertical axis to reduce inertia and dynamic optimization. With the legendary Countach, Lamborghini has been a pioneer in the development of mid-engine, a revolutionary concept that brings racing technology to the road. The design of the Lamborghini Aventador adds visual emphasis to the machine mid-presentation, with the view that concentrating forces on the rear axle.
Aerodynamic efficiency is very important
For such a powerful car, the most important task in the design of the tank body aerodynamic efficiency: the optimum airflow for absolute stability at all speeds and at the same time, optimum engine cooling. In Aventador, all aerodynamic elements are integrated in the form of bodywork, front spoiler from the rear diffuser. A key role is played by flat-optimized underbody. Deployable rear spoiler and controlled electronically. At rest, it touches the back of the vehicle in operation, it has two positions - a 4 degree approach angle is optimized to facilitate high speed and directional stability at the upper end of the spectrum. Inclination of 11 degrees, on the other hand, provide greater support in 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, strong air intake
The first striking impression of the Lamborghini Aventador focuses on proportions. With a length of 4.78 meters (188.19 cm), it is truly impressive 2.26 meters (88.98 inches) in width, including mirrors, but only the 1136-meter (44.72 inches) high. Printing width is further emphasized by the widely spaced air holes and the projector unit.
In front of a very low Aventador take a different arrows, the symbol of the Bull adorned Lamborghini second point and the center line, which continues along the entire length of the vehicle. Strong air guide formed and further accentuated by a glossy black frame. Bi-xenon lamp units are combined with LED daytime running lights and indicators in a hexagonal casing. LED daytime running lights only light guides that wrap around the headlights, in the form of Y. September also provides LED light source for the indicator.
Two shots to set the sideline
A very long side view is dominated by the low roofline and by two strokes - the first emphasizes the front wheel, the second line starts at the front wheel arches are very sharply defined and acted as the muscle stretches along the side of the car and the rear wheels. The door threshold is very hidden and powerful bear further testimony to the functions specified in the design of a Lamborghini. Finally, the forms only one purpose - to provide the maximum volume of cooling air to the mighty V12 power plant. The large air intakes behind the doors opened up are also covered in black plastic frame and is maintained by a fine mesh. Engine air intake is located on the roof pillar, behind the third side window. And when cooling requirements are very high, additional air channels open at the rear wheels.
The back, is also dominated by openings framed in black, in which warm air is leaving. The entire rear section is a three-dimensional in design. Lower diffuser in strong relief, while the tail pipe is substantially hexagonal format symbolizes the concentrated power of the engine. Rear lights with LED technology repeating pattern of three Y already familiar from current Lamborghini models.
V12 as a thing of beauty artEqually familiar is the transparent engine bonnet (optional), which adds a dimension of particular interest to a variety of perspectives on emotional Aventador. Power unit of the twelve-cylinder intake manifold with a strong black color, is the best technique in the cover panel three. It is bordered by diagonal carbon fiber struts and shocks along with the strong suspension.
Design philosophy is still in surprisingly wide. The cockpit is completely covered in fine leather and also took the fine arrows. Controls are logically grouped in the center console off. Again, the inspiration of flight immediately visible - like in modern airplanes, the instruments are presented on the TFT-LCD. In the middle of the dial screen - at the touch of a button, the driver can choose whether to see the road speed or playback speed of the engine. For more information from the fuel level at the output of the onboard computer are grouped into fields surrounding a large dial.
Operating system
The most important switch is hidden beneath a red switch cover - the start button, which activates the motor direct high performance in life.
A second seven-inch TFT-LCD in the center console's integrated multimedia system. Underneath is a picture familiar Lamborghini switch switch to operational functions such as windows or electric systems lift the front wheels and air conditioning controls.
Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador offers state of the art and various vehicle systems, entertainment and electronic communications. These functions are operated via clear and intuitive man-machine interface (HMI) in the center console control features push / turn large and eight function keys.
Carbon fiber monocoque of the Lamborghini Aventador
Lamborghini is moving forward with the concept of systematic lightweight design - intensive application of carbon fiber materials are an essential foundation for the extreme dynamics of the new Aventador LP700-4. The new flagship is based on a full monocoque construction made with innovative ingredients - designed and built entirely by Automobili Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese.
This development saw the Lamborghini once again demonstrated expertise as a world leader in carbon fiber technology. Super sports car brand from Sant'Agata Bolognese is the only manufacturer to have fully mastered the process of CFRP over a range of technologies in-house - 3D design, simulation, production testing, and validation using state of the art for the process industry the highest quality standards. With the Aventador, Lamborghini create innovative in-house developed and patented technology in 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. Vehicle supporting structure is designed as a "single shell" that serves as a physical component, so take advantage of the extreme rigidity of carbon fiber. Formula 1 cars are built using a monocoque carbon fiber for many years - and have proven time and again crashworthiness. The same goes for road sports car featuring a monocoque technology - carbon fiber cells of the inhabitants to act as a roll cage is very secure.
Construction has 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 of braiding technology, which is one of the best technologies to manage energy adsorption in the case an 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 bathing or metal roof structure is attached by conventional means, can not achieve. That's why Lamborghini make choices without sacrificing a full monocoque, which weighs 147.5 kg (324.5 pounds).
Very rigid construction
Superior passive safety is only one advantage of the extreme rigidity of the monocoque carbon fiber - a very high torsional rigidity is another. Monocoque is connected to the front and rear as rigid aluminum sub-frame, in which the suspension, engine and transmission are mounted.
White overall body V12 model weighs 229.5 kg future (505 lbs) and has a torsional rigidity of 35,000 Nm per remarkable degree of twist. It's an amazing feeling to ensure strength, but more importantly, the control wheel with a very precise precision and high sensitivity reaction. For the dedicated driver, both essential for really exciting driving pleasure. The new Lamborghini flagship cautious response to input control with remarkable precision of a perfectly balanced race car.
Depending on the function, form and requirements of different elements, the Lamborghini development team selected from the three main methods of carbon fiber in its manufacturing technology tool kit. They not only differ in their manufacturing process, but also in the type of carbon fiber and armor, and especially in the chemical composition of the synthetic resin used.
Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM): In this process, carbon fiber mats are preformed and impregnated with the right amount of resin. They were then cured under heat while the inside of the mold. Lamborghini has made a major breakthrough in further developing this method. Using patented "RTM-Lambo" process, the final mold is no longer a part of the complex heavy metal, but made not a lightweight carbon fiber parts, thus making the manufacturing process faster, more flexible and efficient.
An additional benefit of the RTM-Lambo 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 liquid thermosetting 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 a complex thing to do, but have completed a high surface quality (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 is used to manufacture components for special applications such as tube roof pillars and structural rocker panel. Components produced by each diagonal layer of woven fibers.
The monocoque of the new V12 super sports car built using this technology applied to a series of special processes. Lamborghini made significant progress is the ability to use elements already assembled monocoque as a mold for the next step in the process. This is a simplification of the manufacturing process compared with conventional methods.
Component epoxy foam is also used in the monocoque. They are placed in strategic locations to increase the rigidity of the monocoque by working as a spacer between the layers of the composite, while the noise and vibration damping. In addition, aluminum-coated insert on the front and rear for easy connection to the elements of the front and rear aluminum subframe.
Because of the complexity of the materials and processes described above, Lamborghini decided to produce a new monocoque completely in-house management of the strategic steps 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 entire vehicle. Quality control begins with the purchase of spare carbon fiber. Each shipment of certified carbon fiber and equipment regularly inspected for compliance with quality standards. Lamborghini has teamed up 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 Lamborghini's leading global expertise in the field.
Carbon composite materials - a key technology for future high-performance automotive engineering
These materials are made from carbon fiber combines the lowest possible weight with excellent material characteristics - they are very light, very stiff and crisp detail.
Furthermore, CFRP materials can also be formed in a highly complex components with built-in functions. This will reduce the number of individual parts of the traditional metal construction - thus allowing the reduction of extra weight. Lighter cars with low fuel consumption and less CO2 emissions. More importantly, however, increase the strength to weight ratio - the deciding factor in the general atmosphere and the performance of a sports car. A super sports car built using CFRP accelerates faster, has superior handling and better braking.
The new V12 engine - the heart of the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador
The twelve-cylinder motor is king of the world and a sincere heart of the Lamborghini brand. The first model was created by Feruccio Lamborghini, GT 350, appeared in 1964 with twelve-cylinder engine that is very innovative for its time. 3.5 liter displacement and 320 hp is of vital statistics at the time - they form the basis for the enhancement of progress and development in the next decade. Miura, Espada, Countach, Diablo, and finally, the Murcielago is a few super sports cars born in Sant'Agata. All have been and will continue to be driven by V12 engines - and all have long since achieved legendary status of the car.
Now the next step in the glorious history appears - engineers in R & D department has developed a power unit Lamborghini completely new high performance. This will be a twelve-cylinder was never in doubt - and not just because of the special magic caused by the number twelve. The only real choice for Lamborghini is a high speed naturally aspirated motor - cars highly reflexive reactions and very strong, a little movement of the driver's right foot, of course, a key element of beauty inspired by the super sports car. Ten cylinders are ideal in class switching around the mark of five liters, as evidenced by the acclaimed Gallardo engine. 6.5 liters to move the target in this case, the perfect number is twelve.
