Lamborghini revealed a new aerodynamics system for the XEV-Model: Lanzador and Aventador SWJ
I immediately searched for the EV- related specifications that would prove that this concept was one of the most powerful EV on the road, as soon as I opened the press release. But Lamborghini is being coy about details like range, battery, charging capacity, or even zero to 60mph acceleration. The Italian sports car maker did reveal one tantalizing bit of information: the Lanzador is capable of “peak power of over one megawatt.”
Of course, the Lanzador was designed to optimize aerodynamics for improved driving and range. Air resistance can be adjusted to respond to a driver’s unique preference. A similar system was used in the Huracn Performante and the Aventador SWJ, along with new active Aero Devices in the front and rear to ensure the best efficiency. The steering wheel is able to be controlled through the air suspension and steerable rearaxle.
“This allows the driving character to be more precisely differentiated to the individual driver than ever before: information delivered back to the driver by intelligent sensors positioned behind the new ‘pilot’s’ glass panels mounted at the front of the car, giving a taste of future radar technology,” Lamborghini says.
The hexagonal-shaped taillights with three LED elements on each side take their inspiration from the Countach LPI 800-4. The 23 inch wheels have hexagonal elements with aeroblades to minimize turbulence.
350GT: a Lamborghini-inspired road cruiser with recycled materials for eco-friendly textiles and recycled plastics – the origins of the outrageous Lambos
In addition to 3D-printed materials, it’s also committing itself to a more sustainable supply chain with recycled nylon, plastic and carbon fiber included in the interior. The automaker claims its leather and wool procurement is sustainable and produced using renewable energy. And it uses a type of synthetic yarn made from recycled plastics.
When he founded his company in 1961, Ferruccio Lamborghini didn’t start with the outrageous Lambos of today, which include flame-spitting V12 engines.
The Italian Royal Air Force mechanic came up with the 350GTV concept, which was followed by the production-ready 350 GT. Designed by Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, the 350 GT was a coupe-bodied grand tourer with two seats and enough storage for a weekend away. Instead of chasing his neighbor on the racetrack, upstart Lamborghini built a comfortable highway cruiser.
