Lamborghini has been leading the way in innovation for 60 years, and their latest offering, the LB744, is no exception.
This cutting-edge super sports car boasts a unique technical solution that sets it apart from anything else on the market.
The LB744 is built on a new aeronautics-inspired chassis, the “monofuselage,” which is composed entirely of multi-technology carbon fibre. This innovative design, patented by Lamborghini back in 2008, features a front structure made of Forged Composites, a special material composed of short carbon fibres soaked in resin.
This front structure, combined with carbon fibre front cone structures, provides a level of energy absorption that is double that of the Aventador Ultimae’s aluminium front frame, while also reducing the car’s weight.
Thanks to the monofuselage’s lightweight construction, the LB744 is 10% lighter than its predecessor, the Aventador, and its torsional stiffness has been improved by 25%.
This improvement in torsional stiffness guarantees best-in-class dynamic capabilities, making it an exceptional driving experience.
The design concept behind the LB744‘s monofuselage is based on the maximum integration of components.
This integration is achieved through the extensive use of Forged Composites technology and the development of the monolithic rocker ring, a single-element ring-shaped component made of CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic) that forms the supporting structure of the car.
This use of carbon fibre makes the LB744 unique in the super sports car arena, and the production of Forged Composites components also optimizes efficiency and sustainability during the manufacturing process.
The LB744 represents a new “year zero” in relation to the use of carbon fibre in car production, thanks to the acronym AIM (Automation, Integration, Modularity).
Automation refers to the introduction of automated and digitalized processes into material transformation, while integration relates to the integration of several functions into a single component through the development of compression moulding.
Finally, modularity refers to making the applied technologies modular and more flexible and efficient in responding to all product requirements and characteristics.
The LB744‘s rear chassis is made of high-strength aluminium alloys, which feature two important hollow castings in the rear dome area, integrating the rear suspension’s shock towers and powertrain suspension into a single component with a closed inertia profile, reducing weight and increasing rigidity.
In conclusion, the Lamborghini LB744 represents a major leap forward in lightweight design, with its monofuselage construction, Forged Composites technology, and automated and digitalized production processes.
This unique combination of cutting-edge technologies has resulted in a super sports car that is not only lightweight and durable but also provides an exceptional driving experience.
