Lamborghini Veneno- Design&Features

THE NEVER LOSING BULL- DESIGN

Hello dear readers! :)
As I promised, I am back with the Veneno's design&features.

Supercar design has much more to do with function these days than just pure aesthetics. With Lamborghini, design gets elevated to an altogether different planet where the element carbon is God. Put the two together and what you have is a car that has the most extreme aerodynamics in an ultra lightweight car. The massive ground effects are needed for better turn of speed through the corners, because unlike the past, modern Lamborgini's aren't just abou straight line performance and top speed alone, at least that's what Stephen Winklemann, CEO claims.
So that gigantic front wing that looks like it could mow a lawn to a micron thickness diverts air flow over the hood and windshield for downforce and it also provides better airflow over the tyres for more efficient brake cooling. Several birds, one wing! The underbody is smooth to further provide even airflow before a rear diffuser that frames four large exhaust pipes cuts it up to increase downforce and improve cornering grip. The massive rear wing is adjustable and between it and the rear diffuser manage optimum aerodynamics. The wheel arches too if you notice are asymmetrical in shape and there is a carbon fibre ring around the wheels that acts as a turbine to provide further brake cooling. So all those geometric shapes you see serve a higher purpose. Now most of Lamborghini's technologies have been derived from their motorsport program- the Super Trofeo series. The modifications done on the Veneno however are a first and thus it may be one of the few times that some of the technology showcased in this car will now filter down to Lamborghini's race cars.
Thank You for reading guys. :)
