BOLOGNA: Lamborghini has unveiled the first details of the first HPEV hybrid super sports car, codenamed LB744, which will make its debut shortly in the year that Lamborghini celebrates its 60th anniversary.
The electric motors boost power delivery at low revs and can also turn the new LB744 into a purely electric car, reducing overall CO2 emissions by 30% compared to the Aventador Ultimae.The first Lamborghini model to sport this characteristic engine was the iconic 350GT launched in 1963.
The air intake ducts to the cylinders have been re-engineered to increase the supply of air and guarantee optimal airflow in the combustion chamber. As well as providing power to the front wheels, they also have a torque vectoring function, optimising driving dynamics, and recuperating the energy produced under braking.
It can also be recharged under regenerative braking from the front wheels or directly from the V12 engine in just six minutes. It’s a technical solution that’s unique in the world of high-performance cars. The layout helps to keep the car’s wheelbase contained and supports effective weight distribution for the best driving dynamics.
Leaving aside the electrical components, the new DCT gearbox is lighter and faster in terms of shifting speed compared to the seven-speed double clutch unit that is used in the Huracán range.
