Lamborghini LB744 Shows Carbon Fiber Monocoque In New Teaser

Ahead of its big debut later this month, the Lamborghini Aventador replacement is back in a fresh teaser. Currently known by its "LB744" codename, the V12 plug-in hybrid supercar will be based around a newly developed monocoque manufactured completely from carbon fiber. Inspired by aeronautics, the so-called "monofuselage" will cut weight by 10 percent compared to its predecessor. In addition, torsional stiffness has increased by 25 percent.

Lamborghini is proud to say the LB744 will be the "first super sports car" to have its front structure made entirely from carbon fiber. Not only does it pay dividends in terms of shaving off weight, but it also improves safety. The carbon fiber used for the front cone structures can absorb double the energy of the metal structure installed in the Aventador Ultimae. The Sant'Agata Bolognese company will be using a patented technology called "Forged Composites," which was initially implemented all the way back in 2008.
