Lamborghini has released a second teaser of the Aventador successor a few weeks ahead of its official debut. The latest video showcases the LB744’s all-carbon monocoque structure, dubbed the ‘monofuselage’.

The successor to the Aventador will be the first supercar to be equipped with a 100% carbon fiber front structure. It also includes a forged carbon front impact structure.

Lamborghini claims that the carbon monofuselage is 10% lighter than the Aventador chassis. The front frame is 20% lighter, while the torsional rigidity has increased by 25% compared to its predecessor.

The rear chassis is made of high-strength aluminum alloy. It featured two hollow castings in the rear dome area, which integrated the rear suspension tower and powertrain suspension into a single component. This arrangement helps reduce weight while increasing rigidity.

The successor to the Aventador (code name: LB744) will be Lamborghini’s first High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) supercar. It is powered by an all-new 6.5-liter V12 naturally aspirated unit that produces 814 hp @ 9250 rpm and 525 lb-ft of torque at 6750 rpm. The engine is mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and two electric motors.
