2012 Capristo Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4
The
Lamborghini Aventador was first revealed to the public in March 2011.
The stage of the Geneva Car Show was deemed grand enough to present the
successor to the Lamborghini Murciélago. The spectacular self-supporting
body is largely made from carbon-fiber reinforced plastics. With 90kg
less weight than its predecessor, it still weighs in at a hefty 1575kg.
The car is powered by a roaring 6500cc-engine producing a staggering
700hp (515kw), giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 3,06 kg/kW or 2,25
kg/hp. The all-wheel-drive Aventador also sports a newly designed ISR
gearbox able to shift gears within a fracture of a second. Experiences
from motor sports construction can be found everywhere on the Aventador,
making it a true road-going sports car.
In the spring of 2012, we brought the Aventador to our workshop at
Sundern. As a specialist for performance-optimizing high value
vehicles, we examined the powerful Italian for potential performance
enhancements, particularly in the area of weight reduction. A wealth of
experience, professional engineering and a lot of enthusiasm were
necessary to get the car, which had already been reduced in weight
compared to the Murciélago, even closer to an ideal power-to-weight
ratio. After careful study, it was determined that the power-to-weight
ratio could be improved by fitting additional carbon parts. In the end,
we also installed a new exhaust system which also brings performance
advantages for the 12-cylinder engine.
Piece by piece, the Lamborghini was stripped down to its components. Although the self-supporting body is mostly made from carbon fiber-reinforced plastics, we still found quite a large array of parts to be optimized regarding weight reduction, specifically among attachment and panelling parts, as well as air intakes and vents. We dissected the Aventador right down to the exhaust system, which we will tell you about later. In any case, we found many parts could be manufactured in carbon fiber, which led to a noticeable weight reduction and consequently an improved power-to-weight ratio. As is usually the case when we go about optimizing a car, the main aim with the Lamborghini Aventador LP700 was making it lighter by replacing as many components as possible with parts made from a different material, but of identical shape and construction, without changing the overall shape of the vehicle. Keeping this in mind, we reproduced components in light yet robust full carbon. While the colouring is different, owing to the properties of the material, the shape is exactly the same, so that the visual appearance of the car is not aversely affected in any way. To the contrary, some of our components actually look more impressive than their factory-made counterparts. This is especially true for the outside mirror casings and the rear wing, but also for other external parts such as the diffusor, front and side intakes and rear vents. Of course, we did not leave out the grille and front lip, and even the air vents above the front trunk now sport a slick carbon look.
