Aventador Lamborghini
As tradition has it, the new super sports car from Lamborghini named after a bull, of course, one of the bravest in the world of Spanish bullfighting. Aventador was a bull from the family of Don Celestino Vides Pictures in October 1993 went into the arena of Zaragoza and received the "Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera" because he demonstrated his incredible courage in battle.
With the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador, Automobili Lamborghini is to redefine the top of the world, Super Sports Car Market - the brutal power, a super lightweight design and a phenomenal precision machining combined with an unparalleled design and equipment will provide much better a unique driving experience. With Aventador, Lamborghini has taken a major step towards the future - and the glorious history of building the brand, with the first cars of legend. The first customers taking delivery of the new Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador the late summer of 2011.
The technology package Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador is unique. It is based on an innovative monocoque carbon fiber that combines exceptional easy technique with the highest levels of rigidity and safety.

"With the Aventador LP700-4, the future of the super sports car is now part of this. Its unique combination of innovative technology is unique, his performance was simply extraordinary," said Stephan Winkelmann, Automobili Lamborghini President and CEO. "The Aventador is a leap of two generations in terms of design and technology is the result of a totally new, but at the same time is a direct and consistent values Lamborghini. It is extreme in its design and performance, uncompromising in their standards and technology, and certainly Italian in style and perfection. In general, the dynamics and technical excellence of Lamborghini LP700-4 makes Aventador unprecedented in the field of super sports worldwide. "
Aventador: the name of one of the bravest of all the bulls
According to tradition, the new flagship of the Lamborghini is the name of a bull - of course, a particularly bold specimen in the world of Spanish bullfighting. Blower was the name of a bull that went into the battle in October 1993 at the Arena in Zaragoza, winning the "Trofeo de la Peña La Madroñera" for their exceptional value.
A sculpture of the dynamics of the extreme
For the Lamborghini, the design is always the beauty of an aggressive power, elegance and breathtaking dynamism. At first glance, the new Lamborghini Aventador is clear, dressed in character and are characterized by distinctive design language - and its powerful proportions, its precise lines and sharp edges and taut muscularity in all its details. The designers of the Centro Stile Lamborghini has carefully developed this form of language gives the Lamborghini Aventador a significant new dimension. E 'avant-garde art, incredibly dynamic sculpture from the front of a clean break with the very low roofline distinctive rear diffuser. Each line has a clear mission, which is dictated by his need for speed, but the overall look is nothing short of amazing and breathtaking.
Truly impressive proportions the total length of 4.78 m (188.19 cm), suitable for an impressive width of 2.26 meters (88.98 cm), including mirrors, and even very low stresses only 1.136 mm (44, 72 inches). Needless to say, both doors, a carbon fiber monocoque open - a feature that was introduced legendary Countach, and then use the later V12 models, such as Diablo and Murciélago. However Aventador also raises his immediate predecessor Murciélago - electronically managed air intakes open depending on outside temperature, and the need for cooling air for maximum aerodynamic efficiency. And for those who want to circumvent the heart of their Lamborghini, a volunteer opened the hood has a twelve-cylinder engine as the showcase of art technique.The spacious interior combines Aventador exclusive fine quality materials and superb Italian craftsmanship with advanced technology and equipment generous. The cover of the red switch on the center console wide surrounding the start button is used to arouse the twelve cylinders. The interior is dominated by a scoreboard for the next generation - like a modern aircraft, the instruments are presented on a TFT LCD using the innovative display concepts. A second screen is dedicated to multimedia standard platform and navigation system.
Carbon fiber monocoque
The new flagship of the Lamborghini has a full monocoque. Occupying the cell with a bathtub and the ceiling is a physical component. This ensures extreme rigidity and therefore the accuracy of driving in traffic, and a high level of passive safety for driver and passenger. The whole monocoque weighs 147.5 kilograms (325.18 pounds).
Cassette frame with front and rear aluminum, has an impressive combination of extreme torsional stiffness of 35,000 Nm per degree, and only weighs 229.5 kg (505.9 pounds).
maximum speed, quality sound
For the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador, engineers in R & D of Lamborghini has developed a completely new power unit of high performance - a unit of speed, high-energy very powerful but very compact. At 235 kg (518 pounds), is also extremely light. A V12 515 kW (700 hp) at 8,250 rpm is a brand new reference, even in the world of super sports cars. Maximum torque is 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) at 5500 rpm. The torque curve is very balanced bull pulling power in all situations, the ability to respond spontaneously and, last but not least, the fine modulation noise, but still very emotional to make this engine a power plant the most beautiful great importance.
Innovative transmission for maximum performance
Lamborghini engineers have created the ideal partner for the new twelve-cylinder engine with the innovative ISR (Independent Rod Change) transmission. The development objective is clearly stated - to build not only the fastest automatic gearbox, but also to create a change in the world's busiest arts. Compared to a dual clutch transmission not only ISR gearbox much lighter, it also has smaller dimensions than a conventional manual unit - two key elements in the engineering field of light to luxury sports cars.
Disc refined and safely with all wheels
Such extreme power must provide a reliable way. The driver Aventador Lamborghini LP700-4 can be completely dependent on its permanent four-wheel traction - scored 4, and the name of the model. In the supply line, electronically controlled Haldex divide the forces of friction between the front and rear. Within a few milliseconds, this distribution suitable coupling force to deal with the dynamic situation. limited slip front differential with the difference between an electronic control ESP to make a more dynamic. Drive Mode Select system allows the driver to choose the characteristics of the vehicles (engine, gearbox, differentials, steering and dynamic control) in three settings - Road (street), Sport and Racing (song) - agreed to his personal preference.
suspension rod
Lamborghini has equipped its new concept car with a V12 supercar innovative and highly sophisticated suspension. Spring and the promotion of the concept of registration has been inspired by Formula 1 and perfectly tuned to meet the needs of high performance road vehicle. Aluminum suspension fork and dual ceramic brake system of carbon fiber, lightweight chassis that is another aspect of the concept of the new flagship of the unique technology.
substantial assistance and safety systems
In the driver's hands, the Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador is a high-precision machining - spontaneous, direct and always reliable. The pilot also with the help of modern electronic systems as very athletic, adjustable pesetas. When it comes to passive safety front head-thorax airbags and knee play its role alongside the cell very rigid carbon fiber.
A rich and extensive individualization
Lamborghini is always a perfect style and preferences of its owner. Consequently, the many possibilities of customization is virtually inexhaustible. 13 is a selection of the production of paint colors, three of which are highly sophisticated sounds Matt. Choose two-tone interior is offered "Sport" and "Elegant" versions, but the high quality sound system and a rearview camera are many technological options. And, of course, a program of individualization 'ad personam' knows no boundaries when it comes to colors and materials.
Design
Each of the Lamborghini is the avant-garde art, sculpture, fast-moving technology. Every line, every detail of a super sports car Sant'Agata derives from its function - namely, speed, dynamic performance. Each of the 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 represent the precision that is not parallel to automotive design. And its clean, flat surface and carefully executed show exceptional knowledge and depth of experience held by the Lamborghini is a carbon fiber body shell design.
The surface of the roof is a new geometry that provides more space for passengers, while simultaneously providing relief to the front lines. This also applies to treat to achieve a better aerodynamic coefficient continued design philosophy of Lamborghini "form follows function."
engine cover uses the same style to give the concept of continuity.
Inspiration from aviation
Their language development of Lamborghini design, designers have drawn inspiration from another area dominated by the speed and dynamics - of modern aviation, the fastest and most agile airplanes in the world. This led to the design of a maximum of functionality and great clarity, the design language is very precise and very technical aspects of a new kind of vitality. Well-defined lines and taut surfaces create a fascinating play of light and shadow, add a huge visual movement in the car. Limited edition Reventon - the work of self d 'art - and the sixth "technology demonstrator" element were the pioneers of this philosophy: Aventador Lamborghini is the first production car, which includes 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. With the legendary Countach, the Lamborghini has been a pioneer 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 its power on the rear axle.
Aerodynamic efficiency is crucial
Such a machine is extremely powerful, the most important task of the body design is aerodynamic efficiency, the stability of the unconditional optimum airflow at all speeds and at the same time, the engine cooling. You Aventador all components are integrated into the aerodynamic shape of the bodywork, the front spoiler on the rear diffuser. A central role is smooth, optimized for the platform. Rear spoiler is fully functional and controlled electronically. At rest, is flush with the rear of the vehicle, in operation, has two positions - the approach has four degrees is optimized for fast and contribute to directional stability at the top of the spectrum. Inclination 11 degrees, on the other hand, offers much more downforce at speeds of mid-range, which helps optimize the management and stability. Auto and use dynamic variables to calculate for themselves the most appropriate angle.
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 inches) is really impressive 2.26 meters (88.98 inches) in width, including mirrors, but only 1,136 meters (44.72 inches) high. The printing width is accentuated by the widely separated inlets and optical drives.
Aventador incredibly small advantage of having a particular form of an arrow, bull Lamborghini brands and winning the point and the center line, which continues to trail along the entire vehicle. Flaps are strongly shaped and further emphasized the glossy black frame. bi-xenon headlights are LED daytime running lights and indicators cluster units in a hexagonal-shaped enclosures. Light set to wrap the main guide for the format Y-LED headlamp. Seven LEDs continue to offer a light source for the indicator.
Two strokes to define the boundary of the site
Point of view extremely long side is dominated by the low roofline and two curved lines appear - the first focuses on the front wheel, while the other, sharply drawn line begins at the wheel before and works like a muscle stretched along the side of the car and rear wheel. The door deeply recessed and witness powerful framework following the functionality of the design established Lamborghini. Ultimately, these forms serve only one purpose - to provide the maximum amount of cooling air to the powerful V12 power plant. The large air intakes behind the doors open upwards are also surrounded by black plastic frames and guarded by a fine mesh. The engine inlet is located on the pillar behind the skylight third side. And when the cooling requirements are particularly high, additional air vents open rear wheel arches.
The rear is also dominated by the openings framed in black, where the warm air goes. The back is very complete in three dimensions in their design. The diffuser is less potent in relief, while the considerable size of the hex output represents the concentrated power of the machine. The rear lights with LED technology to remember the reason that there are already three day Lamborghini models.
V12 as an art object of beauty
Equally familiar is a transparent engine bonnet (optional), which adds a dimension particularly attractive of the many emotional aspects Aventador. twelve-cylinder engine, which is an impressive black intake manifold, you can find all the technical honor three card decks. E 'is bounded by diagonal carbon fiber and the shock absorbers suspension with a powerful engine for auction.
The design philosophy continues with the surprisingly roomy interior. The interior is fully lined in fine leather and also take a subtle form arrow. The controls are logically grouped on the large center console. Again, the inspiration comes from aviation is immediately obvious - like in modern airplanes, the instruments are presented on a TFT LCD. In the center of the screen is a big piece - at the touch of a button, drivers can choose whether to see the read speed of road or engine speed. For more information from the fuel level at the output of the onboard computer is mounted in areas around major rings.
Operating System
The biggest change is hidden under a red blanket switch - the start button, instantly triggering the lifetime of high performance engine.
Secondly, the seven-inch TFT LCD in the center console is an integrated multimedia system. Below is a set of toggle switches family Lamborghini operational functions such as power windows or a lifting of the front and control of air conditioning.
Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador offers state-of-the-art and comprehensive electronic vehicle configuration, entertainment and communication. These functions work in a clear and intuitive through the man-machine interface (HMI) in the center console with a big push / OFF, and eight function keys.
The carbon fiber monocoque Lamborghini Aventador
Lamborghini goes forward with a concept of systematic lightweight design - extensive use of carbon fiber materials are the important basis for the extreme dynamics of the new LP700-4 Aventador. The new flagship based on a completely self-supporting structure with these innovative materials - designed and built exclusively by Automobili Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese.
This trend seems Lamborghini once again show his expertise as a world leader in the technology of carbon fibers. Super sports car brand of Sant'Agata Bolognese is the only automaker has perfectly mastered the entire process of carbon fiber through a range of technologies in-house - from 3D models through simulation, testing, production and validation Using cutting-the-art industrial processes with the highest quality. With Aventador Lamborghini makes its innovative, internally developed and patented technologies in series production for the first time.
Cell in the future of Lamborghini's flagship sports bike is made entirely of carbon fiber and is designed to be a self-supporting. Structure of the vehicle was designed for "one shot", which is physically in one piece, then take full advantage of the extreme rigidity of CFRP. Formula 1 racing cars are made of CFRP monocoque for many years - and have proven time and again crash dignity. The same goes for road going sports car with a self-sustaining technology - carbon fiber cell population functions as a safety cage very safe.
Construction offers many advantages
Of course, "monocoque" is just a descriptive sense - a new Lamborghini monocoque is made of several individual parts, functions and techniques, such as stiffening elements are made by braiding technology, which is one of the best technology to manage energy adsorption on the case of a crash. After curing, but this structure operates as a separate part - between the bottom is known as a bathroom and the whole roof.
The complete solution offers advantages sailboats other processes, such as a bathtub in fixing a metal roof structure in a conventional manner, can not achieve. So Lamborghini is uncompromising choice of full monocoque, which weighs only 147.5 kg (324.5 pounds).
Extremely rigid construction
Superior passive safety is just one benefit of the extreme rigidity of the monocoque carbon fiber - very high torsional rigidity is another. Cassette is connected to the front and back as part of a rigid aluminum frame, suspension, engine and gearbox is installed.
The whole future white V12 model weighs 229.5 kg (505 pounds) and has a great torsional rigidity 35,000 Nm per degree of rotation. This ensures a feeling of great strength, but more importantly, very precise control of the wheel a good steering precision and sensitive response. For the dedicated controller, both are essential to really promote the joy of driving. The new Lamborghini flagship responds to the input address more minutes with the precision of a stunning race car in perfect balance.
Depending on the form, function and needs of various elements selected Lamborghini development team of three main methods for manufacturing carbon fiber in its toolbox of technology. They differ not only in their production process but also in the type of carbon fiber and weaving and more important in the chemical composition of the synthetic resin used.
Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM): In this process, the carbon fiber mats are impregnated with the shape and the precise amount of resin. Later, they will improve when the heat is part of the mold. Lamborghini has made an important step forward for the further development of this method. Using a patented "RTM" Lambo process, the final mold is no longer heavy, complex piece of metal, but is instead made of lightweight carbon fiber parts, the production process faster, more flexible and efficient.
An additional advantage of RTM-Lambo is the low injection pressure that do not require expensive equipment.
Prepreg - Carpet carbon fiber used in this method, commonly known as prepreg, are pre-injected by the supplier of liquid thermosetting resin should be stored at low temperature. The carpets are rolled into molds and cured in the heat and pressure in an autoclave. Prepreg components are complicated to make, but have a high surface finish quality (class A surface) and therefore the preferred choice for use in visible places.
Merge - These components are manufactured using RTM technology. The weaving technology of carbon fiber is derived from the textile industry and used to produce tubular components for special applications such as structural roof pillars and rocker panels. The components are woven diagonally fiber interweaving of several layers.
The unibody of the new V12 supercar designed using these technologies are used in a number of special processes. A significant improvement in the lives Lamborghini is the ability to use elements already assembled monocoque like shape for the next step in the process. It will greatly simplify the manufacturing process compared to conventional methods.
epoxy foam components are used in the monohull. They are located at strategic locations to increase the rigidity of the monocoque working as spacers between the composite layers simultaneously reduce noise and vibration. In addition, aluminum inserts laminated front and rear to facilitate for the front and rear subframe ALCOA elements.
Given the complexity of the materials and processes described above, Lamborghini has decided to produce a new self-sustain itself, a strategic step in the management of the production process.
Quality control is crucial - all monocoque single is measured to exacting tolerances of only 0.1 millimeters, light extreme precision of the entire vehicle. Quality begins with the purchase of carbon fiber parts. Each shipment of carbon fiber is certified and the equipment is regularly checked for compliance with quality standards. Lamborghini has worked with its suppliers to develop a single fiber in the world and the resin system for RTM technology. Ultimately, these materials and processes are an important part of the expertise of world leaders in the field of Lamborghini.
carbon composites - a key technology for future high performance automotive engineering
These materials are in CFRP to combine the lowest possible weight, excellent material properties - they are very light, very stiff and exceptionally precise.
In addition, the CFRP materials also brought in highly complex components with built-in functions. This reduces the number of parts compared to traditional metal construction - so that further weight loss. Lighter cars are less fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. More important, it improves power to weight ratio - the crucial factor in the overall atmosphere and performance of a sports car. A super sports car built using CFRP accelerates faster, has superior handling and better brakes.
The new V12 power unit - the heart of the LP700-4 Lamborghini Aventador
The twelve-cylinder engine is the king of the world and the real heart of the Lamborghini brand. The first model created by Feruccio Lamborghini, the GT 350 was first introduced in 1964 with a twelve-cylinder engine that was very innovative for its time. 3.5-liter displacement and 320 hp are the vital statistics at the moment - which formed the basis of increases in the progress and development in the decades that followed. Miura, Espada, Countach, Diablo and Murciélago, finally are just some of the super sports cars born in Sant'Agata. All have been and will be powered by V12 engines - and all long since reached legendary status of the car.
Now the next step in this glorious history has shown - Lamborghini engineers in R & D department has developed a completely new, efficient power source. That would be another twelve-cylinder has never been a doubt - and not just because a special magic evoked by the number twelve. The only real alternative to the Lamborghini attending high rpm normally aspirated engine - a very thoughtful and unusually strong reaction to the smallest car is the driver's right leg is obviously a key part of its charm, inspired by the super sports car. Ten cylinders are ideal for the transition period of about five liters of character demonstrated by the acclaimed Gallardo engine. For the displacement from 6.5 liters targeted in this case is the perfect number of twelve. A smaller number of bottles would be larger and heavier pistons and connecting rods, which would have negative effects on the characteristics of a great rotation.
Let's start with a clean slate
The specifications for the development of the new twelve-cylinder engine, known internally as L539, was written quickly - was still very demanding in its formulation. Of course, it must provide more power and torque than its predecessor in the Murciélago, but it should also be smaller and lighter and allow a lower center of gravity. At the end of the day, low weight equally important for the performance of a super sports car such high power. Fuel consumption and emissions of greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced significantly.
Thus, the R & D started with a clean sheet of paper - metaphorically speaking, of course. Design and development of Sant'Agata done using systems of the state of the art equipment. The result is a V12 with a conventional roll angle of 60 degrees, and thus an incredibly compact package of power - the power unit is only 665 mm from top to bottom, including the induction system. Its width, including the exhaust manifold is only 848 mm while the length is only 784 millimeters. Its weight of 235 kg is as respectable low - every pound of engine weight is equivalent to 3.0 HP peak performance.
Optimized for high speed and lightness
The housing of the new plant consists of an aluminum-silicon and has an open deck design with steel cylinder liners. The displacement is 6498 cm3 and the cylinder spacing 103.5 mm, while the bore diameter measures 95 mm and stroke 76.4 mm. The layout is particularly good short race for the characteristics at high speed and low internal friction. Particular attention was also paid to tenants on forged crankshaft and nitride hardened weighs 24.6 kg.
Both four-valve cylinder heads are made of sand cast aluminum-silicon alloy, each weighing a slight 21 kg. The twelve pistons and connecting rods are respectively forged aluminum and steel. The maximum piston speed of 8250 rpm is only 21 meters per second, which is significantly lower than the old engine of the Murciélago. The combustion chambers have been carefully designed to achieve an optimum shaking and burning air / fuel mixture. A 11.8:1 compression ratio is extremely high. Inlet and outlet valve timing is controlled electronically.
A sophisticated thermal management, optimized for oil circulation
System for regulating the temperature of this source of energy for high-performance design crowned broad detail. Two interchangeable water cycles to ensure a very fast engine warm-up, which minimizes friction and quickly bring up to operating temperature of catalytic converters, thus benefiting fuel consumption and emissions. external cooling system is connected to the circuit only when necessary.
absolute health of the engine, even under extreme conditions of high lateral acceleration on the track is assured by the use of oil with a dry sump system. A total of eight oil scavenger pump to suck the bottom of the pit attached to the base. pressure loss and scavenging are reduced by about 50 percent. The high-pressure pump to maintain lubrication oil, while the / water cooler and oil / air cooler to maintain constant temperature up to very high loads. Benefit from this type of dry-sump lubrication with very low mounting position of the engine in a sports car. The new engine has 60 mm less than the V12 Murciélago - the benefits associated with the gravity and lateral dynamics.
From the outside, the V12 is dominated by its intake system - which includes four gas valves. Life inside the black box is also very complex - the access path to optimal load and engine speed is facilitated by two pitches, a number of channels and one of the bypass. The recovery period is a torque curve is extremely versatile and sophisticated schemes throughout the attraction.
Mighty orchestra of twelve votes
The exhaust system, including the full attention of engineers Lamborghini - the lowest gas emission target could be as important as the unique, thrilling sound Lamborghini. Water-formed and heat-insulated in three parts, one of four pre-catalyst close to the engine and the two catalysts just prior to the muffler. Box contains two separate scarves - a small and a large quantity. Language group is controlled by the valves of the engine, they perform all elements of the big twelve cylinder symphony - moderate to rumble when moving through the city at low speeds and screaming crescendo of maxed-out gear changes.
Electronics designed solely by Lamborghini
Another highlight is the electronic engine management, developed entirely by Lamborghini engineers. The system consists of the main shield, a secondary "smart actuators and two other black boxes that serve as" smart sensors. " Since speed is everything for an engine of this type, some ECU and access control functions are handled by the smart actuators, so the ECU faster. The two smart sensors are constantly monitoring combustion in real time - each power in each cylinder. Spark plugs - each equipped with a single ignition coil - act as "sensors", the two control units to monitor the signal power supply after every ride and immediately identify irregularities in the process of combustion phenomena through ionization. These data are used for engine management to optimize continuously, benefiting both performance and fuel consumption.
High performance in all sizes
All of these techniques shows combine efficient supply of power than anything else. Maximum power 515 kW (700 hp) at 8250 rpm is a strong statement in itself. Maximum torque is 690 Nm and is available at 5500 rpm. Very generous meaty torque curve of attraction in any situation, a very thoughtful response, and not least, finely tuned, but always emotional acoustic L539 do a great source of strength and a super sports car at high level. And not only L539 has been developed entirely at home is a Lamborghini, was also built from start to finish was the company's headquarters in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Our highly qualified experts to assemble engines by hand, each unit is undergoing testing and calibration of a detailed program for an engine test bench.
The new Lamborghini transmission ISR (ISR: Independent Rod Change) - Innovative servo gearbox for maximum mechanical performance
However, not only the engine, which determines the sign and the characteristics of driving a super sports car. Another key factor is the transmission. The requirements are clear - the report is fully clothed and enabling the delivery of optimal engine. The best performance of vehicles, times of change should be less than the blink of an eye. Operation is simple and clear, ergonomically designed to move the two paddles behind the steering wheel. The characteristics of change must be in accordance with the wishes of the driver at any given point - smooth cruise through the city's strict measures on the track. And not the least of Lamborghini customers expect a change in the emotional sense, ensuring that responses to a sports car you can not always know and understand. Therefore, the development objective has been clearly formulated Again - to create emotional gears of the world.
For all these reasons, engineers, R & D department chose a robotized transmission as a "companion" of the new V12 engine - however, a very special iteration: Lamborghini ISR transmission. This is an important part of the transmission is not only much lighter than kaksoiskytkimellä transfer, but also the compact size of a normal manual gearbox. Both the size and weight advantages are key to building a super sports car.
Unique technology for luxury sports cars
The new unit is set to move two-shaft seven forward gears and one reverse gear. For very high resistance, RINGS TIMING are made of carbon fiber - a material that Lamborghini has a great experience. short transition times, in particular to facilitate the design of the transfer, which is known as ISR - auction rate independent.
To summarize the principle - a standard manual gearbox, either manual or fully electronic gears for, say, second and third reports are placed side by side. When the driver wishes to change gear, the rotation of the sleeve of synchronizer unit moves along the gear lever from neutral to report through the second to third gear. This requires double spacing and twice as long - the second report must be disconnected before the third gear can be rented.
short distances, times of rapid change
This process is considerably reduced in ISR Lamborghini transmission - the gears of the second and third are separated from each other and offset handles are operated by rods to travel independently. Now the process of change can work almost in parallel - a scroll bar, while disengaging a gear, the second bar can be changed to full speed now. Because these mechanical movements overlap and distances are much shorter, making significant savings in time lag. In general, changes in ISR Lamborghini transmission by about 140 percent faster than the Gallardo e.gear transmission. And it is one of the fastest automated manual gearbox in the world.
Compact dimensions, low weight
The new transmission has four such independent rotating rod, sensors continuously monitor their exact position. They are operated by hydraulic cylinders with a pressure of 60 bar extremely high for the turnover needed. The system includes a total of seven valves, hydraulic pressure with an electric pump. The double plate clutch is hydraulically actuated. All system components are enclosed in a sheath. The total weight of the transmission is only 70 pounds - an obvious advantage, especially compared with the heavier seven-speed dual clutch transmissions.
Five modes for every situation
Lamborghini driver can choose from five modes: manual three (Strada, Sport and Racing) and two automatic (auto road and a sports car). Street mode offers much more comfort-oriented move, including the fully automatic option. Sport mode is a dynamic structure of transfer points and times, but the Race mode produces the largest change in strategy, driving on the track. This mode is also a launch control, automatic operation with a maximum acceleration from standstill.
Lamborghini transmission with the ISR, the technicians working on the companion sign bull have developed ingenious new twelve-cylinder engine. Their work has created a power transmission in general is a completely unique world of super sports cars.
Integrated electronic control
The excellent performance is only possible by a fast communication architecture through the ECU number of powertrain and driveline given that a system in the car.
A fully electronically controlled coupling of the front wheels (the now "old" viscous) is another key point of the transmission: it is able to constantly share the right torque to the front wheels always tried to get the best performance of the driver. A pair of front wheels of the distribution may vary between 0% and 60% of the whole match.
pushrod suspension and steering
The new V12 Lamborghini super sports car equipped with an innovative concept of suspension and highly sophisticated. The spring rods and component design was inspired by Formula 1 and perfectly tuned to the needs of a road vehicle at high public spectacle. Wishbone suspension with aluminum double and a system of carbon-ceramic brakes, lightweight chassis that is another element of the unique technological concept for the new flagship of Lamborghini.
Very clear, even sharp, precise driving feel describes the soul of the new and more powerful supercar ever match the sign of the bull. This includes advice that may not think that the perfect line through the corner, the suspension, which is dominated by an ideal balance between race car and the road seems a lot of comfort in the stability of the ramp-up, and side guarantee absolute safety even faster.
hanging bar in motorsports
With its phenomenal power of 515 kW / 700 hp and relatively light weight, the new V12 Lamborghini super sports explosions path to higher speeds. The most important feature of the new suspension design is consistent with the principle of thrust - inspired by Formula 1. The spring / damper elements are not in the wheel increases, but connected to the inside of the body structure. They are arranged transversely, under the windshield in front and near the rear engine. buttons and levers relay / rockers transmit the forces of the wheel is mounted on the elements of the spring / damper.
handling characteristics at all speeds
This solution offers several impressive advantages: due to a combination of double-wishbone and shaft arrangement, the steering wheel and the shutter kept separate from each other. Therefore, treatment is more responsive and easier to control at all speeds, while the rigid connection to the frame also enhances the accuracy and the spontaneous reaction of the springs and dampers. As a result, the spring rate may be a jagged little 'back - convenience when precision is more. Front axle, shock absorbers are equipped with a hydraulic system that allows the front of the super sports car increased to 40 mm push of a button, which will facilitate its ability to overcome small obstacles.
Lightweight aluminum and systematic technique of carbon fiber

History - the mark of twelve bottles in the heart of the bull
Lamborghini V12 - a long and glorious history. According to history books, Ferruccio Lamborghini established automotive industry in the early sixties, because he wanted the best products available in time for the competition, the best technology and quality. Prototype for all the super sports car Lamborghini 350 GTV was the latest study was presented at the Turin Show in 1963. It 'was a completely new aluminum chassis developed the twelve-cylinder engine, designer Giotto Gonzo and praised the performance, which were nothing short of breathtaking standards of the time. 12-cylinder V-engine with four camshafts in the head bank angle of 60 degrees cylinder (when one of the cam was still the norm), six bbl carb and dry sump lubrication produced 360 hp 8000 rpm from a displacement 3497 cm3, which would have taken the concept cars top speed of 280 km / h.
350 GT production version of the series of conventional lubricants have started the following year to produce 320 hp 7000 rpm from a displacement 3464 cm3.
It was exactly this engine that has captured the imagination of fans show at Auto Show in Geneva 1966 Lamborghini Miura. Although its main functions are already known to the 400 GT, this time with four liters of 60 ° twelve-cylinder was fitted into the cockpit, transmission and rear differential in one unit mounted directly on the chassis.
The HP 320 has made the mass production Miura, following the fastest car of its time with a specified maximum speed of over 280 km / h - and with it the first true super sports car. This engine has been developed over the years, with more repetitions offers Miura S (370 hp at 7000 rpm, 285 km / h) and Miura SV (385 hp, 300 kmh). In Miura Jota, the point made for racing, the V12 generates 440 hp at 8500 rpm. However, requests for a gallon is not confined to the mid-engine Miura. In front-engine Islero, introduced in 1968 and 400 GT Jarama, it produces 350 horsepower, while the figure was futuristic Espada 325 hp (350 hp later). In 1974, Espada also had an automatic transmission offered for the first time.
The quarter-generational change to the new Miura Countach LP400 occurred in the seventies. 1971 has introduced a prototype of a breathtaking, the angular shape, genes that eventually would resurface 40 years later in the day Lamborghini sports car great. Marcello Gandini design was appropriate attire for a version of the five-liter V12.
But it was the engine fell from the series model in 1973 for further development of the unit of four liters. In 1973, Countach - always without the "flying" or the spoiler of the eighties - it was mounted longitudinally behind the driver, when the product 375 hp at 8,000 rpm and reaches an impressive top speed of 300 km / h. The years that follow so Countach engine undergo a series of evolutionary development, but still based on the familiar cornerstones of the first unit V12. In 1985 the Countach Quattrovalvole moving train on the mark of five liters for the first time (5167 cm3) and - as its name suggests - featuring a head with four valves per cylinder. The production was an impressive 455 hp at 7,000 rpm.
In 1986, a five-liter V12 introduced a completely new application - Lamborghini LM002 also 450 hp engine is mounted in the front, but the 2.7 tonne truck was the first and only SUV produced by the brand, the four port quad. Eighties saw an incredibly long career near its end with Countach Countach Anniversary. Diablo followed the rightful heir to the century clearly in costume. In 1990, the V12 was increased to 5.7 liters, and the production of Diablo almost six liters, 492 hp. Years later, the Diablo VT was the first brand-wheel-drive sports car. Over the next few years, rose steadily from 520 hp (1993 Diablo SE). Diablo GT GTR 575 hp and 590 hp with radical and was released in 1999. Diablo 6.0 was the first model to characterize the transmission V12 has been expanded to six liters, its output to reach 550 hp.
The Murciélago was launched in 2001 as the first Lamborghini in the new era. He boasted of a new alloy 6.2-liter V12 with a crankshaft running in seven bearings and dry-sump lubrication. It generates 580 hp at 7,500 rpm and took the super car that weighs 1,650 kg at a speed of 330 km / h. The maximum torque of 650 Nm is reached at only 5400 rpm. In the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 released, which produces 640 hp, V12 engine that had spread to 6,496 cm3. Lamborghini Reventón strictly within the twelve-cylinder found in the heart of the brand has generated 650 hp. The grand finale came with the Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce with 670 horsepower. However, 2011 marks the beginning of a new chapter in the glorious history ...
