Bringing a revolution in the automobile market, Lamborghini has unveiled the world’s first ‘self-healing’ sports car. The super car goes by the name Terzo Millennio meaning third millennium in Italian and has the ability to detect and repair cracks in its body work. With the assistance of the sensors installed in the car, it can carry out its own body check to detect the injuries and then fill the cracks with nanotubes to prevent other parts from getting damaged. The car is the result of Lamborghini’s collaboration with researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston. Stefano Domenicali, manager and CEO of Lamborghini, said: "Collaborating with MIT for our research and development department is an exceptional opportunity to do what Lamborghini has always been very good at – rewriting the rules on super sports cars.” "Now we are presenting an exciting and progressive concept car. We are inspired by embracing what is impossible today to craft the realities of tomorrow; Lamborghini must always create the dreams of the next generation," he said as reported by Telegraph. Instead of putting in conventional batteries, the makers have preferred supercapacitors in the all-electric car. An efficient energy storage system has been made that enables faster charging and keeps running for a longer time period. Professor Mircea Dinca, from the MIT, added: "The new Lamborghini collaboration allows us to be ambitious and think outside the box in designing new materials that answer energy storage challenges for the demands of an electric sport vehicle. We look forward to teaming up with their engineers and work on this exciting project." Besides this, each wheel of the car has a separate integrated electric engine that lights up as the vehicle gets started. The project started a year ago, Mr Domenicali added: “Exactly one year ago we have signed an agreement with the MIT-Italy Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology which marked the start of a collaboration between two outstanding entities for the creation of a project that intends to write an important page in the future of super sports cars for the third millennium."
