More precisely, in accordance with the regulations issued by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) and the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), it is a hybrid power unit that combines an internal combustion engine with an energy recovery system (ERS), capable of developing a maximum total power of 500 kw (681 hp). Lamborghini has decided to combine the ERS system with a 90 ° V8 twin-turbo engine designed by Squadra Corse, the company’s motorsport department, with a minimum weight of 180 kg. In the ERS system there are standard elements required by the sporting regulations: the electric motor (MGU) is developed by Bosch Motorsport, the battery management system by Williams Advanced Engineering and the P1359 seven-speed gearbox is designed by Xtrac.
