Beyond design, mastering the air
Lamborghini’s design is unparalleled and extraordinary, a result of over six decades of innovative and future-proof originality. While firmly rooted in Lamborghini’s heritage and brand DNA, performance takes center stage, and aerodynamics stands as a continuous innovation within Lamborghini’s design studio and R&D teams.
The video, titled “Beyond Design, Mastering the Air,” celebrates the symbiotic relationship between Lamborghini design and aerodynamics. Design Director Mitja Borkert and Ugo Riccio, Coordinator of Aerodynamics, Aero Acoustics, and Vehicle Thermal Management, explore the relentless inspiration and drive inherent in Lamborghini’s DNA. This fusion of art and science gives birth to masterpieces like the new Lamborghini Revuelto.
Mitja Borkert, Design Director of Automobili Lamborghini, leads the Centro Stile with a team of 20, overseeing a larger group of over 60 specialists. In Research and Development, Ugo collaborates with 7 engineers dedicated solely to aerodynamics, operating under the leadership of Rouven Mohr, Lamborghini’s Chief Technical Officer. The design and R&D teams work closely, engaging in constant collaboration, challenges, testing, and delivery.
“High-energy air passes through the front fender across the side of the car: at every moment, how the air connects with Revuelto is a testament to the design; we are always balancing between form and performance. Even the door handles are designed to optimize airflow. Take the roof: it maximizes cabin space for the occupants, but the shape in the center is specifically optimized for airflow, reducing drag and pushing air towards the car’s rear wing. The three positions of the wing that variously maximize efficiency, speed, handling, and downforce are testament to Lamborghini’s aerodynamic innovations, but the wing design also ensures the profile of the Revuelto is pleasing and intriguing in every position. Every aspect of Revuelto is balancing form and performance: design has allowed us to master the air,” says Ugo Riccio.
