Lamborghini's New Monocoque Architecture

Описание: Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. has revealed a rolling chassis version of its next V12 supercar flagship known for now as the LB744!

The chassis in the electrified successor to the Lamborghini Aventador will be lighter, stiffer and is claimed to allow for better driving dynamics. Dubbed the “monofuselage”, this monocoque chassis is inspired by aeronautics and made entirely of carbon fiber of different varieties.

Its front section is made from a special material called Forged Composites which is patented by Lamborghini. The tub, front firewall and A-pillar are also made of Forged Composite. The only part of the vehicle’s chassis that isn’t carbon fiber is the rear section that’s made of high-strength aluminum alloys and features two hollow castings in the rear dome area.

Lamborghini says the monofuselage is a “significant step forward from the Aventador in terms of torsional stiffness, lightweight qualities and driving dynamics”. Although the Italian carmaker doesn’t specify an exact weight figure, it says it is 10 per cent lighter than the Aventador chassis. The new model’s front frame is also 20 per cent lighter than its aluminum predecessor. Torsional stiffness has been improved with a value of 40,000Nm per degree, which is up 25 per cent compared to the Aventador.
