The Aventador successor's carbon monocoque is 10 percent lighter, 25 percent stiffer.
V-12 hybrid-powered successor, codenamed LB744, on Tuesday, giving us an in-depth look at the car's all-new carbon fiber monocoque chassis.The LB744 uses an entirely new structure versus the Aventador, with a monocoque that's taller and longer than before, mainly to accommodate drivers of different sizes. Called the"monofuselage," it's split into two main sections, a top half and a bottom half.
The cabin cell isn't where the carbon fiber stops. The Forged Composites material is also used for the front core structure; two structural pieces of the frame that extend to the front bumper area. Not only does this cut weight by 20 percent and move the center of gravity towards the center of the LB744, but it also improves crash impact strength over a traditional aluminum structure.
An aluminum carrier structure attaches to the rear of the monocoque, designed to hold the engine, transmission, and suspension components out back. Combined, the entire structure is 10 percent lighter versus the Aventador's chassis, while being 25 percent stiffer.Road & Track staff writer with a taste for high-mileage, rusted-out projects and amateur endurance racing.
