Automobili Lamborghini, Italian manufacturer of luxury sports cars, has recently opened carbon fibre research facility, the Advanced Composite Structures Laboratory (ACSL), in Seattle, US.
Operating as an entity outside of the company's headquarters in Sant'Agata Bolognese, the ACSL is responsible for unlocking new potential in carbon fibre. The breakthroughs that take place here go on to influence developments in Lamborghinis of the future. The official grand opening of the new ACSL also marks the 30th anniversary of Lamborghini's use of carbon fibre reinforced polymer in its vehicles.Automobili Lamborghini, Italian manufacturer of luxury sports cars, has recently opened carbon fibre research facility, the Advanced Composite Structures Laboratory (ACSL), in Seattle, US.

Stefano Domenicali, Automobili Lamborghini chief executive officer said, “Carbon fibre is a material that Lamborghini has a long history with. Starting with the Countach Quattrovalvole and continuing today, it is one of the most important keys to the success of our cars in the past, present, and future.”
Forged Composite is one of the most important developments to come from research within the ACSL which shortens the amount of production time required to form components as compared to traditional labour techniques.
The technology made its debut in 2010 with the Sesto Elemento limited series supercar where it served in a structural capacity and as proof of how capable the rapid-formed material is. Such continued refinements in the manufacturing process have allowed Lamborghini to enhance its finished product for structural and aesthetical application in 2013. (GK)
