Lamborghini and MIT reveal world's first 'self-healing' car

With the Self-driving and Electric car boom witnessed across the Globe, it was only a matter of time before Lamborghini got involved in the market.

The Italian sports car manufacturer teamed up Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to unveil the world's first self-healing sports car.

The Terzo Millennio repairs any cracks and damages that it detects.

"Exactly one year ago we have signed an agreement with the MIT-Italy Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology" according to Stefano Domenicali, CEO of Lamborghini.

They unveiled the concept car last week.

The sensors on the car detect any bodywork or engine repair that it needs. Not only that, it also self-repairs using the nanotubes that prevent any damage from spreading.


“It is about creating new concepts to shape the future of sports cars, facing what is impossible today to shape the reality of tomorrow,” according to a statement issued by Lamborghini.

With "groundbreaking energy storage systems, innovative materials, breathtaking propulsion and design," the concept is certainly a revolutionary design taking the future of electric cars to another level.

In terms of power; the car would have 4 electric motors placed, one integrated into each wheel.

The automaker has also mentioned that they will be including supercapacitors which are like the traditional batteries but able to charge within seconds.

The only downside is that the power might have low energy density and will not have the capability of storing enough storage causing problems for long distance journeys.
