Lamborghini announces 1,001 hp V12 hybrid engine

by time news

This new Lamborghini engine code is “LB744”, which will be the heart of the first Lamborghini HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) hybrid supercar of the “super cow” family.We can’t tell you what the replacement Lamborghini Aventador will look like or even tell you what the new model will be called, the Lamborghini CEO said.Currently the vehicle is only prompted with the internal code ‘LB744’. We can share details about the new plug-in hybrid powertrain. The good news is that the naturally aspirated V-12 engine still exists and has been one of the core things that have made expensive supercars so appealing since their inception.The new 6.5-liter L545 code engine really improves on the power supply for New generation Lamborghini Aventador with more power, higher revs, lighter weight and increased compression ratio to 12.6:1.Weighing in at 218 kilograms (481 pounds), Lamborghini says the new engine is 16 kilograms (37 pounds) lighter than the Aventador’s V-12, while its output increases to 814 hp at 9,250 rpm. and even with the upgrade package can go up to 9,500 rpm. Maximum torque of 725 Nm (535 lb-ft) at 6,750 rpm.While the Aventador’s V-12 engine sends power to a front-mounted single-clutch transmission, the new engine sends power to an all-new horizontal eight-speed dual-clutch transmission designed by Lamborghini. However, this V12 power is only part of Lamborghini’s new powertrain codenamed LB744.With 3 electric motors, 2 will be arranged in front – placed on each wheel to provide their own power and allow torque adjustment. At the rear, a third electric motor is integrated into Lamborghini’s eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. It is possible to switch between acting as starter motor and generator or transmit power to the rear axle thanks to the intelligent clutch mechanism.Each electric motor delivers 148 hp. Total maximum combined power is quite impressive 1001 hp, slightly more powerful than the Ferrari SF90 Stradale. The 4-wheel drive system on Lamborghini’s new engine can be maintained when the car changes to pure electric driving mode. By default, the system will prioritize front-wheel drive.Charge is stored in a compact 3.8 kWh lihtium-ion battery pack located on the floor of the vehicle. Battery block size 1,550 x 240 x 301 mm (length x width x height). Lamborghini has yet to announce the weight of the battery, but for reference, the announced capacity is much lower than that of the Ferrari 296GTB and SF90, as well as the McLaren Artura.This can be speculated, the battery of the “Lambo” is light and provides less power. In the event the battery runs out, energy is either regenerated from the brakes of the front electric motor or by using the V12 as a generator – this replenishes power for 6 minutes. This helps the car quickly regain maximum power on the track.Also according to Lamborghini, their new DCT transmission will have a “continuous shift” function when holding the left gear lever while slowing down and can select the lowest gear. Lamborghini has confirmed that the LB744 engine will be released this year on the occasion of its 60th anniversary.Super cow company Lamborghini promises to announce more new technical details before officially launching the finished car at the end of this March.Video: Introducing Lamborghini generation LB744 V12 hybrid engine.
