Although the brand has some tough competition in the new millennium, Lamborghini is still the name to aspire to for both wannabe sports car owners and manufacturers alike. With only 3,000 Murcielago’s built from 2001 to 2007, Lamborghini’s newest model – replacing the Diablo – become the most sought-after sports car in recent history.
The all-wheel-drive (AWD) Murcielago, like most from the Lamborghini line, immediately turned heads. Even though the brand is certainly Italian, the name Murcielago means “bat” (as in the animal) in Spanish. Language lessons aside, to the common person, Murcielago simply means “wow.”
Lamborghini hasn’t really dropped off the map in terms of trendsetting power in recent years; it’s just that other manufacturers, like Bugatti, have caught up. Of course, the Murcielago’s 6.5-liter V12 632 horsepower engine is nothing to sneeze at, but it’s not the most powerful out.
This is uncharted territory for Lamborghini. For years, the only other manufacturer to give them a run for their money in terms of out-and-out speed was Ferrari. Try as they might, other manufacturers still cannot remove Lamborghini from the top ranking among the world’s best sports cars. They’re a mainstay. Read the rest of this entry »
Lamborghini Showcases Its Talents – But Not Through Motor Shows
Posted by admin in Auto Show 2011, Cars Concept, Lamborghini Showcases, Sport Cars on January 7, 2011
Sometimes a car manufacturer does not only do motor shows in order to showcase its capabilities and cars. It 
does other types of trade shows too. Lamborghini is in Paris showcasing its skills and capability in the development and application of carbon fibre at the JEC Composite Show held on the 13th to 15th April 2010. The JEC is and organization dedicated to promoting composites internationally. It supports the development of these materials by fostering knowledge transfer and exchanges between suppliers and users. To date, the JEC network connects more than 250,000 professionals worldwide from 96 different countries. Lamborghini is the Honoured Guest of the Paris JEC Composite Show, where Lamborghini’s Director of Research and Development Mr. Maurizio Reggiani held an opening address.
Lamborghini had taken up a booth displaying the latest composite material technologies that the company has developed and/or used and basically showcased the stealth fighter lookalike Lamborghini Reventón at the show.
More than 1,000 companies from all areas of the composite materials industry (especially the 
aeronautical/aviation companies) had participated at the JEC Composite Show. And you would know that product marketing is also carried out here, where CEOs of these companies (who basically can afford a Lamborghini) are present. I would be pretty confident that a few side deals of car enquiries would be entertained aside from the actual composite technology discussion going on.
Anyway, Carbon-fibre reinforced (CFRP) composite materials are becoming key factor within the high-performance automobile sector, especially since this material is extremely high stiff and very light weight. These materials allow high-precision lightweight design and construction and results in an improvement in power-to-weight ratio. This in turn delivers increased driving dynamics while reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Furthermore, within Lamborghini, the utilization of composite materials enables new solutions in the construction of components and, when used as a visual material, offers an extremely aesthetic look to the items utilizing it. Take a look at the Reventón as a very good example. Read the rest of this entry »
