For some years now, automakers have been forced by governments around the globe to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and are working on technologies to make their models more efficient and cleaner. According to a source from Sweden, the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador will heed to governments request to mildly ‘tame’ the 700bhp raging bull.
According to the article, Lamborghini will employ Cylinder Deactivation System (CDS) that will cut down cylinder operations from twelve pistons to just six. This will enable the monumental 6.5-litre V12 to function temporarily as a V6. The CDS will kick in when the car is cruising, and with only half the engine in use, the Aventador returns better fuel economy while emitting less CO2.
Moreover the CDS system will be paired to a highly popular start-stop system, which automatically shuts down and restarts the engine when the engine is unnecessary idling.
The star/stop function will further reduce fuel consumptions and emissions. The system will re-engage the powertrain in a lighting quick 180 milliseconds. The start/stop system in the Lamborghini will have a capacitor instead of a battery in order to save weight.
After the upgrades, fuel economy will improve from the current 17.2L/100km to 16.0L/100km with reduced emissions from 398g/km to 370g/km.
On top of added technology, the 2013 Aventador will sport stiffer springs and retuned dampers to boost comfort levels, enlarged numbers on gauges of instrument clusters, improved switches and a selection of carbon fibre accessories. The refreshed Aventador is expected to be uncovered at the Paris Motor Show later this September.
