We repeat it again: the automotive future passes through electric vehicles. There are already so many companies in the industry interested in this sector that it is impossible to turn back. What's more, companies like the luxurious Lamborghini have presented their latest concept in collaboration with two MIT laboratories (MIT). The result has been Lamborghini Terzo Millennio, a vision of the supercar of the future.
Lamborghini wants to recreate its vision of the future but without losing its hallmarks as far as design is concerned. Hence, this Terzo Millennio has that space aura that all the Italian supercars give off on the road. Now, the goal of this project is to achieve new results in 5 areas: energy storage systems, innovative materials, propulsion system, visionary design and emotion. And the first two are being commissioned by the two MIT laboratories.
The first of them, the Department of Chemistry and directed by Professor Mircea DincaThey are trying not to have to use conventional batteries and use supercapacitors to offer enough energy to be able to move a supercar of these characteristics. Likewise, another of Professor Dinca's challenges is to achieve a team that does not age with time and that its wear is minimal. Likewise, you want to place each wheel with its own electric motor and thus be able to give a better torque.
Furthermore, the Department of Mechanical Engineering led by Professor Anastasios John Hart They are working on taking the design of the Lamborghini Terzo Millennio to the next level. The Italian company wants to continue betting on carbon fiber. However, what you want to achieve is that the entire chassis of the vehicle is a space to store energy. Although, be careful, because the most interesting thing is the use of nanotechnology so that the Lamborghini Terzo Millennio has the ability to self-repair; that is, it would have status monitors scattered throughout the vehicle on the lookout for any malformation.
Lastly, feel is very important to Lamborghini. And the Terzo Millennio must not abandon that characteristic of the firm led by Stefano Domenicali. So It would also give a very sporty sound to this concept car.
