the name of one of the most courageous of all bulls

“The first thing that really stands out with a Lamborghini is its design”

– something that makes the exclusive super sports cars from Sant’Agata Bolognese so distinctive. Devi Caselli, After Sales Organizational Unit, is responsible for ensuring that the work of the designers at Centro Stile always shines flawlessly. For ten years, he has been getting the vehicles prepped for trade fairs, photo shoots and meetings held with

journalists.

“You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. So it has to be perfect – from the roof right down to the valve caps.”

First off, he scrutinizes the surface of the vehicle from every angle, with nothing getting past his merciless gaze; even the minutest damage to the paintwork that would go unnoticed by most people has to be rectified. The next step is to clear the surface of any dirt particles that may cause scratches to appear if scrubbed. Only then can the polishing commence – with an attention to detail that can only be achieved by some- one who’s truly passionate not only about the brand, but also the cars. With a practiced yet careful hand, Caselli attends to the paintwork. He then reaches for

another sponge and another polish and starts from the very beginning – until even the tiniest detail is presented in its best light.

“No polishing machine can cater to the unique shape and details of a Lamborghini – you simply need to have a feel for it.”

Caselli makes no secret about the products he uses: Lamborghini care products. These are handmade and ideally suited to the various interiors and finishes of the vehicles. During his time at Lamborghini, he’s had his hands on many models, Prototypes and special models such as the Reventón and the Estoque have also been treated with the utmost care.

It goes without saying that both doors of the carbon-fiber monocoque open upward

a feature that was first introduced in the now leg-endary Countach and then used for subsequent V12 models such as Diablo and Murciélago. However, the Aventador also evokes its immediate predecessor the Murciélago – electronically managed air intakes open depending on the outdoor temperature and the need for cooling air,ensuring maximum aerodynamic efficiency. And for those whishing to flaunt the heart of their Lamborghini, the optional transparent engine bonnet exhibits the twelve-cylinder engine like a technical work of art in a display case.

For such an extremely powerful automobile, the most crucial task of the body shell design is aerodynamic efficiency:

the optimum airflow for absolute stability at all speeds and, at the same time, optimum cooling for the engine. On the Aventador, all aerodynamic elements are integrated into the body shell form, from the front spoiler to the rear diffuser. A key role is played by the flat, optimized underbody. The rear spoiler is deployable and controlled electronically. At rest, it lies flush with the rear of the vehicle; in operation, it has two positions – the approach angle of 4 degrees is optimized for high speed and assists directional stability at the very top end of the spectrum. The tilt of 11 degrees, on the other hand, delivers considerably greater downforce at mid-range speeds, helping to optimize handling and stability. The car uses dynamic parameters to calculate for itself the most appropriate tilt angle.

The carbon-fiber monocoque of the Lamborghini Aventador

Lamborghini is heading into the future with a systematic lightweight design concept – the intensive application of carbon-fiber materi-als forms the key foundation for the extreme dynamics of the new Aventador LP 700-4. The new flagship is based on a full monocoque con-struction made with these innovative materials – conceived and produced entirely by Automobili Lamborghini in Sant’Agata Bolognese.

This development sees Lamborghini once again demonstrate its worldwide leading

expertise in carbon-fiber technology.

The super sports car brand from Sant’Agata Bolognese is the only automaker to have fully mastered the extensive CFRP process across a range of technologies in-house – from 3D design, through simulation, test, production and validation using state-of-the- art industrial processes to the very highest quality standards. With the Aventador, Lamborghini is putting its innovative, in-house developed and patented technologies into series production for the first time.

The cell of the future Lamborghini flagship super sports car is made entirely from carbon fiber and has been designed as a monocoque structure. The load-bearing structure of the vehicle is engineered as a “single shell” that functions physically as one component, thus taking full advantage of the extreme rigidity of CFRP. Formula 1 race cars have been built using CFRP monocoques for many years – and have proven their crash worthiness time and again. The same applies to road-going sports cars featuring monocoque technology – the carbon fiber occupant cell functions like an extremely safe roll cage.

DOABLE.”The standard package of electronic systems includes ABS, electronic brake distribution, anti-slip control, speed-dependent servo-tronic steering, hill start assist and, of course, ESP stability control. The rear spoiler and the side air intakes are electronically controlled. The Drive Select System enables vehicle characteristics (engine, transmission, differ-ential, stability control, steering) to be set in accordance with individual driver preferences in one of three modes – Strada (road), Sport and Corsa (track).

The cockpit with TFT-LCD display also comes as standard, as does the multimedia HMI system with Navigation, including traffic data, iPod con-nection and Bluetooth.The automatic climate control functions with a sunlight sensor, with further sensors controlling the automatic headlights. The bi-xenon headlamps come with daytime running lights and rear lights in LED technology.The five-spoke alloy wheels are clad in Pirelli P Zero tires and feature tire pressure monitoring, while the brake system is equipped with carbon-ceramic rotors and black brake calipers. Safety equipment includes six front, thorax, head and knee airbags.
