Lamborghini is the Italian car manufacturer company who made the world’s most stunning cars. These exotic cars are well known from their extraordinary look, their exclusive high speed, their evil performance and high price ranges. Even most of the people have only a dream ever to buy it. This car usually associated with the high class, prosperity and luxurious personality of the people who can afford it. Here, we discuss 4 most interesting facts about Lamborghini that even the Lambo lovers don’t know about it.

Let’s dig out the interesting facts about Lamborghini,
How Lamborghini Made The Sport Cars?
Ferruccio Lamborghini was the founder of Lamborghini. Although it is associated with the luxurious cars but originally the company made tractors from 1947. Ferruccio was an enormous fan of sport cars. He owned Ferrari 250 GT at that time. Ferruccio was very frustrated at the continuous problem which he has with the clutch of his Ferrari. Ferrari used agriculture clutches at that time and ferruccio don’t like this.
He went to Ferrari owner Enzo Ferrari and told about the clutch problem. Enzo told him there was no problem with the car, but with the driver. Ferruccio was not disappointed and took this as a personal challenge. He launched his 1st sport car in 1963 named Lamborghini 350 GTV having V12 powerful engine. Before 1963 Lamborghini was only known as an agricultural tractor making company but after launching his 1st sport s car it became the crucial competitor of Ferrari.
The Raging Bull On Logo
When the Lamborghini becomes globally successful and the logo becomes recognizable then people around the world wanted to know the thinking of creation behind the logo.
The iconic bull on logo was not a random creation of the company. Ferruccio Lamborghini was an astrology nut, and his star sign was Taurus (bull). Ferruccio also has a special connection to the fighting bulls, like the bullfighting and in his spare time he watched the bull fighting events. He wanted to link the strength of bull with his powerful sport cars. So that’s why he had chosen this on the logo. Many of the car names were stimulated on the powerful fighting bulls.
Most of the sport car names are not Italian; their names are based on the iconic and raging bulls like
- JALPA– breed of Spanish bull
- GALLARDO– a breed of fighting bull
- AVENTADOR– a successful bull
- URRACO– a little bull
- VENENO– means poison (violent bull)
World’s 1st Hybrid Car Based On Super Capacitor (Sián)
Super capacitor named as ultra capacitor is highly charging and discharging power device. The charge storing capacity of ultra capacitor is much greater than simple capacitor that is why they are called super capacitors. The plus point of super capacitor as batteries is their charging and discharging capabilities instantly 3 times faster than Li batteries.
The negative point of the super capacitor is that the power charge capacity of super capacitor is less than Li batteries. But in the near future these will be the alternates of the Li batteries. The life cycle of super capacitor is 40 to 50 thousands cycles much greater than the life of Li batteries because there is no wear and tear due to chemical reaction in super capacitor.
The first Lamborghini model (Lamborghini Sian) world’s first hybrid vehicle having extra electrical motor and battery but here the battery replaced with highly efficient super capacitor charge device for the first time. These capacitors were recharged from their highly advanced regenerate breaking system.
The V12 combustion engine naturally produce 785hp while the electrical components works on 48 volts and produce 34hp additionally and rise the total peak power 819hp. The Lamborghini Sian pick up is 0-100km in less than 2.8 sec. This car takes the power from the electrical motor and boosts up to the speed of 130 km/h, above that it actually detach from the electric motor and completely relying on the naturally aspirated V12 engine.
Lamborghini Never Used Turbo Charger
Turbo chargers are used to increase the power efficiency of the engine. Turbo chargers are more efficient than supercharger. They use the exhaust gases and run the turbine. The turbine compresses the air and pushes the extra air into the cylinder to burn the excessive fuel smoothly and increase the fuel efficiency of the engine. But due to excessive air drag the turbo chargers becomes a major cause of pollution as compared to natural aspirated engine. Turbo charger effectively used in small V6 engines to increase the power capacity. But smooth and pollution free energy only comes from naturally aspirated engines.
Because of massive air drag and turbo lag (take sufficient time for useful boost up) lag free emanations, Lamborghini never used turbo charger until now on their sport cars. Due to powerful V12 engine Lamborghini don’t need to use the turbo charger to enhance their performance. But on the other hand, 1st time Lamborghini introduced the newly developed 4.0 liter twin turbo V8 engine in their SUV Urus release 650 massive bhp power.
