LAMBORGHINI GOES INTO SPACE

Lamborghini has just sent carbon fibre materials to the International Space Station. This is part of a major testing campaign sponsored by the ISS US National Laboratory and overseen by the Houston Methodist Research Institute. The aim is to analyse the response of five different composite materials produced by Lamborghini to the extreme stresses induced by the space environment. On board the ISS for a period of six months, the materials will be subjected not only to extreme thermal excursion cycles with peaks from -40 to +200 degrees Celsius, but… Read more
