The top executive of the Italian car maker explains that the current market and policy makers are very conscious how the added acceleration will mean more fuel consumption. This also translates to more CO2 emissions.

Lamborghini is also foreseeing governments of different countries will be imposing stricter green rules which could restrict the development of their engines so their funds for research and development will zoom in on how they can surgically reduce the weight of the car for a better super car performance.

The head of R&D of Lamborghini explains that the need for speed will be limited by aerodynamic resistance. Further he explained that there will be a declining efficiency in performance when a car tries to go over 211 mph. One should also take note that there are only a few places where one can zoom at that speed. Acceleration will be key and decreasing the car’s weight is key.

The designers will be using composite materials that will be used on the right places, provide the needed stiffness, cost, and characteristics. Instead of the usual Lambo high strength steel, they will be suing more of carbon fiber and aluminum.

The plan seems to be working with the redesigned Murcielago LP670-4 SV which gained 30 horsepower by shedding off about 220 pounds off its body. Now it is a 670 horsepower charging bull.

Lamborghini is also looking into using a start-stop system to decrease emissions especially during city driving, which could also help with fuel efficiency, if the Lambo people even care about that…
