Topic: Lamborghini V10


  
  Lamborghini V10 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lamborghini V-10 is an engine that was developed for the Lamborghini Gallardo automobile first sold in 2003.
This is the first engine developed by Lamborghini after the company was acquired by VAG and as such, it shares components and technology from other members of the group, specifically Audi.
It is a 90° V10 which is unusual for this particular configuration of cylinders.

 Lamborghini - Wikipedia
Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. ˌlamborˈgiːni] ist ein italienischer Automobilhersteller, der seit 1964 Sportwagen in Kleinserie produziert.
Lamborghini, der damals lediglich erfolgreich Traktoren herstellte, soll mit seinem Ferrari unzufrieden gewesen sein und daraufhin Enzo Ferrari eine Konstruktionsänderung vorgeschlagen haben.
Nach 1972 befasste sich Ferruccio Lamborghini vorwiegend mit Weinanbau; das hochklassig arbeitende Weingut in Umbrien existiert weiterhin unter seinem Namen.

 Lamborghini high-performance car
Automobili-Lamborghini S.p.A., commonly referred to as simply Lamborghini, is a subsidiary of German car manufacturer Audi AG [1], which is in turn a subsidiary of Volkswagen.
The most common version, as told by Ferruccio Lamborghini's son [2], is that Ferruccio Lamborghini went to meet Enzo Ferrari at the Ferrari factory to complain about the quality of the clutch in the Ferrari 250 GT he owned.
Lamborghini went back to his factory, had his Ferrari's clutch dismantled and realized that the clutch manufacturer was the same who supplied the clutches for his tractors.

Honouring this tradition, the Management of Automobili Lamborghini have decided to baptize their latest model with the name of a fighting bull's breed: the Gallardo (pron.: ga:yàrdo).
The cab-forward cockpit integrated in the body by a strongly slanted front screen and tensed pillars, the complex surfacing intersected by crisp graphics and its cooling flow oriented detailing evokes as in the Lamborghini tradition in its proportions and formal language a strong aeronautical influence.
The Lamborghini V10 cylinder DOHC four valve V90 5 liter, 500 Hp, 510 Nm, is the concept solution for the high performance Gallardo.

Fire up the 500-hp V10, however, and its guttural notes suck you back into the land that spawned Puccini faster than you can say "aural aria." The engine block may be machined abroad, but its soul is pure Italian opera, authoritative and serious at low rpm, and satisfyingly untamed at high rpm.
Though the free-revving 5.0-liter V10 begs to be slammed off the line, dropping the clutch from a standstill is unwise; its viscous-coupled four-wheel-drive system absorbs the shock of 376 pound-feet of peak torque, while sticky Pirelli PZero rubber eliminates any remaining possibility of wheelspin, even with traction control disabled.
According to Lamborghini, the Gallardo's power plant pushes it to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, and to a top speed of 192 mph, the latter of which I sadly did not experience due to omnipresent autostrade traffic.

Instead of the more classical choice of a V72, an angle of 90 degrees was preferred in order to limit the height of the engine with advantages in the car layout (lower engine bonnet and better rear view) and in the lowering of the center of gravity.

Strictly speaking, this is the first production V10 that Lamborghini has ever fitted to one of their automobiles, aside from the Cala concept.
In a V10, this means that the engine will have a lower center of gravity and is something that has been pulled right from super high tech Formula One cars.
Those who have known Lamborghini from the beginning will be sour with the thought of German intervention, and the lack of scissor doors.

However, high-revving V-10 powerplants were incorporated into supercars from Lamborghini and Porsche, and BMW and Audi later unveiled ten-cylinder versions of their mid-range sedans (the 5-Series and A6 families, respectively).
The most widespread use of the V10 has been in Formula 1 racing, where the configuration was introduced by Honda and Renault before the 1989 season.
There are also cars with V10 engines in sports car racing, usually with Judd powerplants with 4 or 5 litre engines, made available for customers, although the first V10 was seen in the works Peugeot 905, in the final races of the 1990 World Endurance Championship season.

Such a system, which at constant speed on homogenous adhesion roads presents a traction force distribution around 30% front, 70% rear, is conceived to be 'self-regulating', without the necessity of electronic controls.
The gearbox is 6 speed, using of the latest generation double and triplecone synchronizers and optimised actuation linkage in order to achieve precision and velocity in shifting while ease of operation is guaranteed.
The accurate definition of the geometry, of the characteristics of springs and stabilizing bars and the adoption of Koni 'selfadjusting' FSD dampers have been fundamental in achieving the desired handling, high speed stability and comfort performances.

A continuously variable valve timing system and a variable intake geometry manifold provide an optimum distribution of the torque from the lower speed range (410 Nm at 1500) up to the maximum torque of 510 Nm at 4500 rpm, while maximum power is available at 7800 rpm.
The electronic engine management is provided by an evolution of the Lamborghini LIE unit, connected through a sophisticated CAN BUS network to the main vehicle computer, as well as to the E-gear system and to the other satellite ECUs involved in the vehicle's dynamics.

Along with the dominant Honda V10, the Ferrari V12 and the Renault V10, the Lamborghini was the only non-V8, and it became increasingly sought after.
Despite the financial hole this created, Lamborghini were determined to go ahead with the project anyway, since they had an engine and a chassis, and Carlo Patrucco, an industrialist and former boss of the Fila company, took over as Team Principal.
For essentially this was the Lamborghini Engineering team, and yet they had called themselves 'Modena', same as the town in the Italian motor racing heartland, and same as Stefano Modena, who would be driving for Tyrrell Honda in 1991.

Rumours stated this new Lamborghini, which has been called the 'Baby Lambo' or 'Baby Murcy', was designed by ItalDesign Giugiaro, but now an entirely new name, Walter de'Silva, previously the design chief at SEAT, came into the picture, he was promoted in the Audi group were he became responsible for the 'Sport Cars' division.
The new Lamborghini will use a light-weight, composite bodywork, but with extreme structural rigidity and a level of comfort to rival that of any high end GT available at the moment, naturally ABS and a sophisticated ESP have been accounted for, while dual airbags and even side airbags have become a necessity these days.
Normally Automobili Lamborghini SpA plans to build a targa style version, a full convertible edition and a real competition model with rear wheel drive only, but probably the Murcielago Roadster will be introduced first after this all-new model.
