Road coffee Comment: electric transformation of the Lamborghini without relying on the traditional battery pack?

In the past, for a super sports car, power, performance, large displacement can determine its properties, but also one of their development, and now, with the constant development of electric vehicles, increasingly the more sports car brand has begun to change with the times, including Bugatti, Koenig SEG, Aston Martin, etc., have tended to begin the transition of power, and Lamborghini also has his own plans.

According to overseas media reports, the current supercar manufacturer Lamborghini is working with MIT, the two sides will be based metal organic framework compounds developed a new material as the base material of the next generation of super-capacitor, and He applied for a patent. The two sides will begin next optimization and mass production vehicle to enhance the properties of this material.

The capacitance of the rechargeable battery substituents?

It can be seen as a super sports car, Lamborghini is not an issue in the conventional battery-driven, but focus on new ways – the super capacitor which, according to the traditional sense, the MOF materials are used storing special gas separation, and the use of such materials in the super capacitor, which is intended to reflect good charge mobility and conductivity, so that the super capacitor can store more energy.

That is super capacitor is an energy storage system, it is also seen as mixing conventional capacitor and a battery body. Like batteries, ultracapacitors also has positive and negative electrodes separated by an electrolyte. However, the difference is with the battery, super capacitor as the capacitor as a way to store energy electrostatically, rather than chemical batteries as a way to store energy. Thus, the super capacitor can be advantageous over the conventional lithium batteries, such that it can store a large capacity in a small volume, and long service life, can be repeatedly charged and discharged, while its short charge and discharge time also includes a high-current discharge capacity and other characteristics.

Currently, Lamborghini and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a super-capacitor sample MOF-based materials, and relevant performance indicators of the sample is based on Terzo Millennio concept car’s performance requirements.

is more suitable for running hybrid ultra

In fact, as early as in 2017,Massachusetts Institute of Technology – Italy Project (MIT-Italy Program) has been supported by Lamborghini, while the expansion of cooperation between their projects focused on the development of battery materials technology. Meanwhile, media analysis, two cooperation also opens up the pace of the Lamborghini development of electric vehicles. The 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show hybrid supercar Lamborghini Siaacute; n, is to use a super capacitor, thus replacing the traditional lithium batteries.

the data, we can see that Lamborghini Siaacute; n is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine 6.5L V12 + 48V hybrid system composed of the motor, the motor is powered by a super capacitor Lamborghini developed, lighter and have greater energy storage characteristics of the powertrain to match the 7-speed ISR (independent shift rod) automatically gearbox. Siaacute; n the 0-100km / h acceleration official results of only 2.8s, top speed up to 350km / h.

Therefore, the super capacitor, its lighter and storage capability and large current discharging characteristics are very suitable for the characteristics of the car, and, from the nature of the vehicle body, when such an electric car comprising after the system, it releases energy is precisely matched to the performance sports car, its results in a better performance.

Lamborghini developed the electric car

So, for Lamborghini, the order to the development of electric transformation is necessary, after all, for such technology, it can not only retain the Lamborghini original some performance attributes, but also can reduce the weight of the vehicle body to some extent, so that electrical performance mode is released, to achieve a certain effect, while this super capacitor may be disposed between the bulkhead and the rear engine cabin place to ensure that the vehicle perfect weight distribution, that is, at the same weight, this super-capacitor storage capacity is about three times the lithium battery.

Prior to the Lamborghini Chief Commercial Officer Federico Foschini is also clear that the interview: Siaacute; n hybrid system is currently being equipped with ultra-running is the most reasonable solution, on the one hand while ensuring the performance of the lightweight supercar; on the other hand, electric is the future development trend in the future development Lamborghini, but also to further integrate hybrid solutions to achieve energy saving, environmental compliance purposes.

for Lamborghini is to create a new energy products is not difficult, but the difficulty is by what means to be able to reach the Lamborghini the desired results, although as of currently, Lamborghini, although it is not clear that the strategy of electrification, but from such a super capacitor technology change we have seen Lamborghini.

At the same time, Lamborghini also has a super capacitor used in hybrid supercar Siaacute; n body, and on the parameters of performance has also been recognized, so it is certain that Lamborghini is not on the transformation of electrification no action, just want it more efficient way to redefine the supercar positioned to a better way to resolve the future of electrification change.
