Lamborghini and Japanese companies study carbon fiber (pictured)

, Lamborghini announced in Tokyo, Japan, that it will work with Mitsubishi Liyang, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Chemical, to develop technology related to carbon fiber materials. Lamborghini is understood to be aiming to master cutting-edge lightweight technology to boost the performance of future models and pave the way for the production capacity of the new SUV, the Urus, which will go into production in 2018. Currently, Lamborghini can produce only five chassis per day, and this capacity will not be able to meet the production of the new SUV, the Lamborghini Urus, which will go into production in 2018. Therefore, the main purpose of Lamborghini's cooperation with Mitsubishi Liyang is to jointly optimize and develop the mass production of components such as carbon fiber body casings and interior panels.
Maurizio Reggiani, head of research and development at Lamborghini, said the partnership would help with the development of new models for Lamborghini's future. "Further research and development of our existing forging composites will allow us to create new products that improve the appearance and performance of Lamborghini models," Reggiani said.

, Lamborghini's use of carbon fiber dates back 30 years to the Lamborghini Countach model, the first Italian super-run with carbon fiber materials, and it also opened the Lamborghini models using carbon fiber materials to achieve vehicle lightweighting.
paved the way for Urus, Lamborghini and Japanese companies to study carbon fiber.
Mitsubishi Liyang is a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Chemical, which has nearly 70,000 employees and is Japan's largest manufacturer of acrylic fibers, according to

Acrylic fiber is one of the raw materials for the production of carbon fiber materials. Therefore, more than 60% of the carbon fiber materials in the global market are produced in Japan, and the existence of Mitsubishi Liyang is inseparable.
