The Foundation
Automobili Lamborghini was founded in 1963
by Ferruccio Lamborghini
Ferruccio Lamborghini had a vision:
the ultimate production sports car.
Nothing in the world matched that vision.
So he went and built it himself.
The Past – A tradition of unique icons
Miura (1966-1972)
Countach LP 400 (1974-1978)
Espada (1968-1978)
LM 002 (1986-1992)

ADVANCED COMPOSITE RESEARCH CENTRE
The Seattle Lab
• Collaboration between Lamborghini and Boeing was established 2007 with an technology transfer
from aerospace to automotive:
• Crashworthiness Aventador -> Side pole and barrier simulation
• Building Block Approach for Aventador Engineering
• Repair techniques for Aventador
• 2009 Inauguration of ACSL @ Univ. Washington in Seattle
• University Lab with major funding of Lamborghini
• Complementary to activities of ACRC
• Created as Concept Center
• ACSL develops partnerships with U.S. industrial base (Boeing, Callaway and others)

The Building Block Approach
• Strong link between design and test
•
Short connection to aeronautic test laboratory (ACSL by University of Washington)
•
Short connection to manufacturing
• Performance analysis of structural CFRP parts with 30 years experience in CFK materials
•
Static analysis
•
Crashworthiness analysis
•
Optimisation
• Methodical approach: Building Block Approach from aeronautics experience, applied to automotive field

The Building Block Approach
Scope of BBA is to set analysis parameters:
physical parameters (e.g. Young’s modulus) numerous test standards exist
non-physical paramaters (e.g. element elimination) no standards exist

Conclusion
Technical challenges in Development can be steered by BBA, lowering
impact of not foreseen problems
Building Block approach is the key to ensure cost monitoring in
Project Development and Validation
Building Block approach as method that could be extended to other
application fields
(f.i. software / hardware implementation)
