Lamborghini has unveiled the skeleton of the Aventador’s successor — codenamed: LB744 — which would be the agency’s first Excessive-Efficiency Electrified Car (HPEV).

This marks a brand new period for the Italian supercar producer. The LB744 pioneers the firm’s new generation V12 platform and light-weight high-power lithium-ion battery know-how to introduce a brand new section within the Lamborghini stables.
The LB744 shall be powered by a hybrid powertrain, with the primary contributor being a newly developed mid-mounted 6,5-litre V12, which is claimed to be the lightest and strongest 12-cylinder engine ever constructed by Lamborghini. The V12 (also referred to as the L545 engine) is mated to a few electrical motors, with a type of motors connected to the double-clutch eight-speed transmission. Lamborghini claims that this new transmission is lighter and shifts quicker than the seven-speed transmission discovered within the Huracan vary.

The remaining electrical motors are fastened to the entrance axle. The electrical motors discovered on the entrance axle are chargeable for supplying traction to every of the entrance wheels. These electrical motors are oil-cooled and have torque vectoring features. The LB744 is endowed with a mixed energy output of 746 kW and a torque output north of 1000 N.m when clumping collectively the torque output from the engine and two electrical motors.
The electrical motors are mentioned to spice up energy supply in low vary and permit for a whole electrical diving expertise. When working in its all-electric driving mode, energy is fed solely to the entrance axle, whereas the rear axle will solely help when wanted. The Lithium-ion battery pack is positioned within the central tunnel and leads to a decrease centre of gravity and extra environment friendly distribution of weight.

The battery measures simply over 1 550 mm and is 240 mm large, which accommodates pouch cells with an general capability of three,8 kWh. Lamborghini claims that its regenerative braking from the entrance wheels or V12 engine is able to recharging the battery in simply six minutes, whereas common charging leads to a 0 to 100% charging time of thirty minutes.
The LB744 shall be absolutely unveiled later this yr as Automobili Lamborghini celebrates its sixtieth anniversary. A brand new period of Lamborghini-badged automobiles is starting, and the LB744 showcases an exciting and power-ladened electrified future for the tremendous sports activities automotive section.
