Many cylinders and a lot PS: Those were the values that were once the car Quartet. But more important is the number that brings the car on the scales. Only systematic light makes a true sports car fast, already knew the Lotus founder Colin Chapman. Lamborghini shows now at the Paris Motor Show , the possibilities for the use of carbon fiber technology offers.
to view objects in the truest sense of the word is the breathtaking study Sesto Elemento, with V10 engine and permanent four-wheel drive weigh only 999 kilograms. This allows, according to Lamborghini, a power weight of only 1.75 kg per horsepower and acceleration to 100 kph in just 2.5 seconds. The name of the technology demonstrator, translated "the sixth element," is derived from the scientific periodic table. As of that very sixth element is there out of carbon. Several innovative technologies are at carbon fiber Sesto Elemento first used in the automotive industry.
The base of the Super-Lambo is an extremely strong but lightweight structure of carbon fiber. The passenger compartment is made as a monocoque. The entire front frame, the crash boxes and the outer skin parts are also made of CFRP. This abbreviation stands for "carbon fiber reinforced plastics", ie, carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics. When Sesto Elemento also essential parts of the suspension and the rims are made of carbon fiber. The exhaust tailpipes are made of Pyrosic, a glass-ceramic composite material, temperatures of up to 900 degrees withstand. The propeller shaft is made of CFRP. "Very well over 300 km / h" is the maximum amount of Sesto Elemento manufacturer. Made possible by the 570-hp V10 from the Gallardo LP 570-4 Supperleggera. Transfer will be changed by the power of an E-Gear transmission, the six gears via paddles on the steering wheel.
