Lamborghini, MIT Join Forces To Build Future Supercars

The research and development deal has been signed for an undisclosed amount

Supercar makers are already pushing the boundaries of engineering, but when the benchmark has already been set so high, you need to sign on some of the best minds in the world to push the envelope further.

Lamborghini obviously thinks so too, and the Italian supercar maker has just signed an agreement with the MIT-Italy Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This strategic partnership will enable students and teachers at MIT and engineers at Lamborghini to compare notes and work together on research projects. The highlight? Through this association, Lamborghini is also looking to get major inputs for the development of a future ‘super sports car’! Details about this car, however, will only become clear at a later stage. Of course, the developments from this collaboration will be used to improve the performance and dynamics of cars across Lamborghini’s range, though MIT’s role will become clearer once the research and development process is in full swing.

Speaking on the collaboration, Stefano Domenicali, chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, said, “We want people to think of us more and more as a trendsetter in the super luxury and sports car segment. MIT has always been a pioneer in innovation and we are proud to have signed this general agreement with such an illustrious institution, which will lead to the study of issues of mutual interest relating to the super sports car for the 3rd millennium.”
