Lamborghini are to start looking more at their supercars weight reduction than bigger engines.
The news comes from the Lamborghini CEO, Stephan Winkelmann who said that with European laws on emissions being tightened they are struggling to justify higher output engine that will give higher top speeds but instead think weight reduction and faster acceleration is the way to go.
The Lamborghini’s diet is likely to come with the replacement of high strength steel beign replaced with lighter materials such as aluminimum and carbon fibre.
Ultimately most drivers will get more use out of faster acceleration than they will the top end speed, unless the car is beign taken on track it is unlikely most Lamborghini drivers will get to take their cars up to the magical top end speed all that often as well.
