series and intensive studies to create<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance that’s not just exciting –<br />
it’s a scientifically proven fact. For example,<br />
the patented X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® Partialkompression ®<br />
lowers the heart rate*, which can bring an<br />
energy advantage that smooths the path to<br />
new world records.<br />
* These results were obtained in a comparison study at the State University of Verona.<br />

THE SPIRIT THAT DRIVES<br />
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
BEYOND THE POSSIBLE 22<br />
THE BEST MEANS<br />
TO INCREASE<br />
PERFORMANCE:<br />
KNOWLEDGE.<br />
Per<strong>for</strong>mance limits seem unsurmountable. Until a<br />
revolutionary idea outflanks them. New knowledge<br />
and new technologies continually redefine the<br />
boundaries of the achievable.<br />
Once, the steam engine revolutionized<br />
the industrial world. Today, computers<br />
and global networking are opening up<br />
unimaginable opportunities. And human<br />
physical per<strong>for</strong>mance still harbors great<br />
potential. The more we research, develop<br />
and test, the better we can make use of<br />
this with intelligent solutions. X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ®<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> embodies the<br />
peak of this fascinating development.

<strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> follows the<br />
same spirit. We test our technologies and<br />
products around the world. In extreme<br />
heat and cold, in punishing humidity and<br />

scientist knows this. Expert knowledge<br />
alone is not enough to create world-changing<br />
innovation. Pronounced stubbornness<br />
is also a must. The excellent X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ®<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> developers<br />
have both capacities to a fault. Just as<br />
in the development of a high-per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
automobile, they spend weeks on<br />
end switching between time-consuming<br />
engineering, testing and processing the<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation obtained. Their difficult, inchby-inch<br />
work takes them to the wind tunnel,<br />
load simulations and realistic testing<br />

THE MAGIC OF BEING<br />
DISTINCTIVE
BE AN ICON 36<br />
DRIVE AN ICON<br />
When the first super sports cars hit the pavement in 1963 under<br />
the sign of the bull, it was the birth of an icon. Since that day,<br />
the name of <strong>Lamborghini</strong> has evoked pure passion. Suggestive<br />
dimensions and an extroverted design spark true enthusiasm.<br />
The extreme per<strong>for</strong>mance can be fully controlled, and even<br />
experts can open up new options <strong>for</strong> pushing the envelope.
37<br />
WEAR AN ICON<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® redefined per<strong>for</strong>mance and made history. Wherever in<br />
the world high-tech functional clothing is mentioned, X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ®<br />
is the benchmark and icon of progress. That lends the X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ®<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> collection twice the reputation. It’s<br />
both an object of prestige to be worn and technology that brings<br />
you to a new level of per<strong>for</strong>mance.

Aktiv-Bund ®<br />
Like taut musculature, the outer skin has perfect proportions. Refined lines<br />
provide breathtaking dynamics. Shapes typical of the brand are reflected in<br />
the design language.<br />
Despite all the aesthetics, every detail<br />
is a component of perfectly integrated,<br />
high-per<strong>for</strong>mance technology. Super<br />
sportswear and super sports cars both<br />
fascinatingly exemplify the concept of<br />
„exclusive per<strong>for</strong>mance“. That also shows<br />
in the masterful handling of high-tech<br />
materials and the brilliant manufacturing<br />
of each detail. But the parallels between<br />
clothing and vehicle start much earlier,<br />
during the development and design phase.<br />
Developers also integrate bionic discoveries<br />
into the time-consuming engineering<br />
process, to perfect the interplay between<br />
material, function and the human body.<br />
Does the human become a machine? Or<br />
does the machine mutate into a beast?<br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong> themselves provide the<br />
answer. For over 50 years, the bull has<br />
been the central feature of the brand’s<br />
logo. Explosive power under refined<br />
control is what every wearer of super<br />
sportswear from X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong><br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong> devotes to his or her favorite<br />
sport. It’s well known that you can’t have<br />
too much per<strong>for</strong>mance. Even if you don’t<br />
use all of it, it’s good to know that you<br />
could at any time.

HEAT IN MIAMI 46
47<br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong> Huracán LP 610-4 Spyder: 2-door super sports car with 2 seat | Drive Ten-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with 610 HP (449 kw) and all-wheel drive<br />
Acceleration: 0 to 100 km/hr in 3.4 seconds | Top speed: 324 km/hr | In<strong>for</strong>mation: www.lamborghini.com<br />
It’s an icon, extroverted, seemingly<br />
made just <strong>for</strong> the colorful backdrops<br />
of Miami. Stars and gangsters are<br />
equally at home here. It makes you<br />
wonder which side the Huracán Spyder<br />
is on. Is it one of the good guys,<br />
or the bad?<br />
It’s a high-per<strong>for</strong>mer with brilliant instincts, powerful and loud:<br />
The Huracán Spyder from <strong>Lamborghini</strong>. A hurricane on four<br />
wheels, with an unstoppable 620 HP under the hood to reach<br />
breathtaking top speeds of 324 km/h, <strong>for</strong>cing its pilot into a<br />
cockpit that seems to have been ripped directly from a fighter<br />
jet. One of a kind! A character that rumbles and complains at<br />
low speed where other cars slide meekly through the Art Deco<br />
district. It’s true, it has a bit of a vicious touch under the warm<br />
Floridian sun. But that’s perfect. Because „vicious“ stands <strong>for</strong><br />
extreme dynamics and the ultimate driving experience.<br />
Heroes are always in high demand, but without a little villainy<br />
they’re just boring. Even Batman wrestles with his inner demons.<br />
Miscreants simply have more pepper, and they’re the salt of<br />
every good story. Even Michael Jackson brought that point home<br />
with “I’m bad”. Bad boys fascinate us and stick in our minds. But<br />
admit it. At the end, we still hope the superhero will win.
HEAT IN MIAMI 48<br />
BAD TO THE BONE.<br />
It’s true. Samuel L. Jackson and John<br />
Travolta were cool together in „Pulp Fiction“.<br />
But would the Huracán — if the model had<br />
been on the market in 1994 — have been<br />
the dream machine <strong>for</strong> the coolest gangster<br />
duo of all times? Of course not. The<br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong> is too powerful and tense<br />
<strong>for</strong> Travolta’s Vince Vega. After all, the<br />
always-high contract killer let loose an<br />
accidental shot during a com<strong>for</strong>table<br />
cruise in a Chevy Malibu.<br />
The late Health Ledger was brilliant as the<br />
psychopathic Joker in “The Dark Knight”.<br />
The powerful Huracán would surely have<br />
done that charismatic villain proud as a<br />
getaway car. But the destructive energy of<br />
the Joker may have cut the super sports<br />
car’s screen time too short.<br />
Hannibal Lecter would surely have appreciated<br />
the refined design of the <strong>Lamborghini</strong>.<br />
But the powerful engine sound would definitely<br />
have been too much <strong>for</strong> the cultivated<br />
ears of the most brilliant serial killer of<br />
all time.<br />
These arch-villains would clearly have no<br />
taste <strong>for</strong> a <strong>Lamborghini</strong> and its infernal<br />
power. But Dr. Strange? The protagonist of<br />
the latest Marvel hit, played by Englishman<br />
Benedict Cumberbatch, picked the Huracán<br />
as his super sports car of choice. The striking,<br />
sporty model in black is the first choice<br />
<strong>for</strong> the headstrong, daring character, and<br />
unleashes the superhero in Dr. Strange.

design of the legendary Italian auto brand with the<br />
futuristic technology of X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® . Time and again,<br />
this high-tech sportswear pushes athletes through<br />
their limits — whether cycling, running, skiing or in<br />
the cockpit of a private plane — and at the same time<br />
trans<strong>for</strong>ms them into a design icon.

<strong>Lamborghini</strong> creates them <strong>for</strong> the road.<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® builds them <strong>for</strong> the skin:<br />
perfect interfaces that redefine the limits<br />
of physics and give human beings breathtaking<br />
capabilities. What does it feel like<br />
when the two come together? A selfexperiment<br />
on the legendary Nordschleife.<br />
“Trim and aerodynamics are more important,”<br />
the instructor at the <strong>Lamborghini</strong><br />
Driving Experience reassures me in the<br />
pit lane, preempting my worries about<br />
my limited field of vision. I’m sitting<br />
low to the ground and way back in the<br />
LAMBORGHINI HURACÁN LP 610-4. The<br />
helmet on my head also limits my field of<br />
view. So I have no choice but to trust my<br />
feelings. And that’s exactly what it’s all<br />
about today: feeling what happens, using<br />
your own body as a sensor in curves, when<br />
braking and accelerating. Of course, I’ve<br />
prepared my body <strong>for</strong> high per<strong>for</strong>mance:<br />
under my racing overalls I’m wearing the
55<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® Energy Accumulator ® EVO, a<br />
high-tech design using special fibers that<br />
surrounds the skin where it’s in contact<br />
with the seat and optimizes skin climate,<br />
blood supply, and nutrient supply. Every<br />
sense is 100 % receptive. Ready to go!<br />
Mechanoreceptors in the skin<br />
Meissner bodies<br />
Ruffini bodies<br />
Free nerve endings<br />
I’m free to start into the Green Hell. 610<br />
horses punch me brutally in the back, my<br />
helmet hits my <strong>for</strong>ehead, and my hands<br />
claw <strong>for</strong> a grip on the leather wheel. Extreme<br />
but exquisitely balanced <strong>for</strong>ce catapults<br />
me in the direction of Hatzenbach.<br />
Then the first right turn. The sides of the<br />
seat notify the left side of my body all too<br />
Vater Pacini bodies<br />
Merkel cell<br />
receptors<br />
The motor and sensory nerves <strong>for</strong>m two parts of an inseparable whole in the human body. The body controls<br />
all movement using five sensorimotor regulation circuits. It perceives stimuli, transmits them, and sets them in<br />
motion. But these regulation circuits are not closed systems in themselves. They react to external stimuli using<br />
mechanoreceptors in the skin. Stimuli that X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® technologies make specific use of.
56<br />
The AirDuct Pads technology<br />
allows X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® to distribute<br />
pressure over large areas. They<br />
are designed to provide effective<br />
ventilation over sweat-intensive<br />
areas. That keeps you cool during<br />
active phases. As soon as you<br />
stop sweating, the layer of insulating<br />
sweat trapped in the air pads<br />
protects against overcooling.<br />

While braking be<strong>for</strong>e the Ahrenburg,<br />
gigantic yet still controllable <strong>for</strong>ces press<br />
me into the five-point harness. In high<br />
gear and at top speed, I rocket through<br />
the Fuchsröhre. Then the inhuman compression<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e the Adenauer Forst. A<br />
slight lift reduces the vertical top load <strong>for</strong><br />
tires, chassis, and spoiler. Even the corners<br />
of my mouth stay open, I’m enjoying<br />
myself so much.<br />
clearly that the 1 G limit has been reached.<br />
The next double-S gives me plenty of opportunity<br />
to feel my way further towards<br />
the limits. Then comes a full back massage<br />
as I accelerate towards the Quiddelbacher<br />
Höhe. My inner seismograph discerns the<br />
crest be<strong>for</strong>e the Flugplatz to the millimeter,<br />
so I hit the steering point towards the<br />
Schwedenkreuz perfectly.<br />
The pushing and pulling, pressing and<br />
shaking of the seat, wheel, and belts give<br />
me a high-resolution snapshot of my<br />
driving situation at all times. Thousands<br />
of sensory signals registered by the body<br />
hit the brain in milliseconds, help achieve<br />
perfect handling and precision-targeted<br />
steering maneuvers. Every ridge, every<br />
curb, every difference in grip speaks to<br />
me. This kind of precision could never be<br />
achieved with the eyes alone.<br />
The many jumps give the Nordschleife<br />
a series of weightless stretches. But my<br />
contact with the seat still never quite disappears<br />
and I meld with my <strong>Lamborghini</strong>,<br />
becoming part of the machine. Or is that<br />
exactly the opposite?<br />
At over 3 G, the centrifugal <strong>for</strong>ce rips<br />
vertically at my head as I spin through the<br />
Karousel. Agile and full of highly differentiated<br />
responses, the <strong>Lamborghini</strong> takes<br />
the more than 180-degree curve with<br />
ease. My hands are in optimum dialog<br />
with the grip of the front axle, intuitive<br />
movements, optimum lines. Metzgesfeld,<br />
Bergwerk, Hohe Acht: my inner map associates<br />
each one with specific emotions.<br />
At the end of my Tour d’Emotion in the<br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong> Driving Experience, I tear<br />
over the Döttinger Höhe at over 300 km/h.<br />
And I suddenly see how decisive the communication<br />
capability of the automobile<br />
and racing clothing truly are. Feeling won!<br />
Down towards the Pflanzgarten: fast, precision alternation along the ideal line from the left into<br />
the right curve. Good drivers take advantage of the lateral steering <strong>for</strong>ces to perceive exactly<br />
where the clean, firm track ends and the slippery, dirty asphalt zone starts.

THE PERFECT<br />
FUSION OF MAN<br />
AND MACHINE.<br />
FREIGABE<br />
As far as the laws of physics are concerned,<br />
everyone is equal. Both driver<br />
and automobile are subject to the natural<br />
<strong>for</strong>ces that act upon them – just like all<br />
moving or stationary objects. Specifically,<br />
these are inertia, gravity, momentum,<br />
friction, centrifugal <strong>for</strong>ce, and kinetic<br />
energy. These interacting variables have<br />
preoccupied automotive designers and<br />
race drivers since the first motorized<br />
vehicles. Their challenge is to create<br />
a work of art with maximum dynamics<br />
that is still controllable. The engineers at<br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong> are considered true masters<br />
of this subject. The precise feedback from<br />
the steering, the calculable stability with<br />
fast load transfer and excellent chassis<br />
balance with extreme acceleration or<br />
abrupt braking maneuvers make it possible<br />
<strong>for</strong> the driver to burn his strategy into<br />
the tarmac with millimeter precision. The<br />
12 cylinder power plant in the rear end<br />
adds more than nearly limitless power – it<br />
also provides the most physically beneficial<br />
central mounting position. As a result,<br />
the <strong>Lamborghini</strong> turns on its vertical axis<br />
even more dynamically.

ADVANCED<br />
FEEDBACK<br />
CONCEPT.<br />
Body-Grip Effect<br />
A pincer-shaped seat with a<br />
flexible angle between seat and<br />
back. The driver is <strong>for</strong>m-supported<br />
by the seat, optimizing contact to<br />
help compensate <strong>for</strong> deceleration<br />
<strong>for</strong>ces.<br />
With a visionary study in high-per<strong>for</strong>mance racing<br />
seats, the X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® presents a trailblazing interface<br />
between human and machine.<br />
Race car drivers refer to their driving instinct:<br />
the ability to sense a vehicle’s limits<br />
by intuitively controlling it with the sum<br />
total of all their sensory impressions. This<br />
is only successful when the corresponding<br />
signal reaches the driver’s brain quickly<br />
and accurately. No wonder that real racing<br />
seats offer little in terms of the snuggle<br />
factor. The task of the seat is much more<br />
like that of a total body interface. Physical<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation like the lateral acceleration,<br />
torque, and grip are to be relayed to the<br />
millions of the mechanoreceptors in the<br />
driver’s skin in milliseconds so that he can<br />
process it at lightning speed with precise<br />
reactions – <strong>for</strong> example, a finely calibrated<br />
countersteering maneuver to bring a wayward<br />
rear end back on track. Where the<br />
seat and driver are in contact, intelligent<br />
interfaces are required.<br />
Innerlap Tube Area<br />
A seat surface with a lifted area<br />
between the legs maximizes the<br />
contact surface between the seat<br />
and the inner thighs, transmitting<br />
lateral steering <strong>for</strong>ces more directly<br />
and distributing G <strong>for</strong>ces better.
61<br />
Ultralight Carbon Yarn<br />
Extremely light, anti-static carbon<br />
fibers are integrated into the<br />
outermost contact areas. The<br />
specially developed fabric offers<br />
great weight advantages and,<br />
thanks to intelligent workmanship,<br />
a number of other benefits: It has<br />
an anti-static effect, regulates<br />
temperature, reflects heat and<br />
stops bacteria.<br />
Spinal Signal Zone<br />
and AirVent Channels<br />
Transmits detailed vehicle<br />
impulses to the skin sensors<br />
along the spinal column to<br />
provide a plastic image of the<br />
<strong>for</strong>ces currently impinging.<br />
Integrated air vent channels<br />
optimize blood flow as well as<br />
skin climate.<br />
Belt ISO-Pads<br />
The patented 3D AirDuct structure<br />
distributes pressure evenly over a<br />
large area. The thermal decoupling<br />
of the belt and overalls with the<br />
back-ventilated 3D structures<br />
reduces heat build-up and helps<br />
maintain an ideal skin climate.<br />
Side Support Diffuser<br />
Horizontal depressions in<br />
the seat provide continual<br />
ventilation <strong>for</strong> your body. They<br />
prevent heat blocking, optimize<br />
blood flow in your extremities<br />
and maintain sensitivity <strong>for</strong><br />
ride- or drive-related responsiveness.<br />
Lateral Neuro-Respone-Spots<br />
Contact points increase the pressure<br />
on relevant areas of the body,<br />
supporting direct, rapid signal<br />
transmission and reducing reaction<br />
time.<br />
Smart Tilting Technology<br />
IIntelligent tilting technology<br />
moves your body to the inside of<br />
the curve, thus minimizing the<br />
perceived lateral acceleration. This<br />
reduces the lopsided load on stabilizing<br />
muscles in extremely fast<br />
turns and in long-distance races.<br />

A SUCCESS FOR<br />

YEARS. AND WHAT<br />
IT TEACHED US.<br />
The shark applies an efficient principle<br />
using currents replace: in order to breath,<br />
water rushes through a shark’s jaws and<br />
to its gills as it moves <strong>for</strong>ward. There, oxygen<br />
is absorbed, transfered to the bloodstream<br />
and circulated through the body<br />
where it becomes saturated with carbon<br />
dioxide, which is eventually dumped back<br />
into the water through the gills.<br />
This is the inspiration <strong>for</strong> the X‐<strong>BIONIC</strong> ®<br />
AirIntake System. Fresh air is <strong>for</strong>ced<br />
through the ducts in the front into the<br />
inside of the jacket where it absorbs moisture<br />
and then leaves the jacket through<br />
the openings on the upper body at the<br />

BASED ON<br />
SPECIAL SKILLS.<br />
The Thorny Devil that lives in the<br />
Australian desert with little water has<br />
developed a system of water transporting<br />
channels on its body. These channels<br />
transport water from moisture and fog to<br />
its mouth using capillary action. According<br />
to the fractal principle (self-replicating<br />
principle) of self-similarity the structures<br />
come up with decreasing scale.<br />
Thus the effectiveness of the water<br />
conducting structures increases at<br />
the same time. X‐<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® developers<br />
translated this capillary effect to athletic<br />
apparel to strategically transport sweat<br />
to parts of the body in need of intense<br />
cooling.<br />

3D Bionic Sphere ® System<br />
Your body produces varying levels of body heat<br />
in different areas. An especially high quantity<br />
of heat comes from the chest and back<br />
because these surfaces are intended to protect<br />
your internal organs. This is where the<br />
3D Bionic Sphere ® System leaves a thin layer<br />
of sweat that is not recognised by your body<br />
as dampness. Sweat Traps ® absorb excess<br />
sweat, allow it to evaporate, and then dispose of it<br />
through thermal dynamics. Remaining on<br />
your skin is only a pleasant amount of sweat<br />
that allows cooling. Without sweat, there would<br />
be no cooling. Thus: in contrast, with low outside<br />
temperatures the complex system of channels<br />
provides insulation during rest phases. By that you<br />
avoid the risk of overcooling after active phases.<br />

TURN SWEAT<br />
INTO ENERGY ®<br />
Always the optimum per<strong>for</strong>mance temperature<br />
thanks to 37 °C CCR-Technology.<br />
Every engine — even your body — has a<br />
temperature range in which it can produce<br />
high per<strong>for</strong>mance. If it’s too hot or too cold,<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance penalties or even injury can<br />
threaten. Conventional sportswear offers<br />
either cooling or insulation and can’t combine<br />
both functions. X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® extends the<br />
range of applications, combining cooling<br />
and insulating functions to reduce the<br />
valuable energy lost to excessive chill or<br />
sweating. And they’re ready <strong>for</strong> outstanding<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance when optimum conditions<br />
can be guaranteed — conditions like those<br />
the unique 37 °C CCR-Tecnology from<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong><br />
provides. In a similar way to the complex<br />
interplay between water, oil and air cooling,<br />
37 °C CCR-Technology combines different<br />
physical effects into a single effective regulatory<br />
circuit with controlled heat dosage<br />
and without the risk of cooling, always with<br />
a single goal: high-precision compensation<br />
<strong>for</strong> temperature fluctuations and support<br />
<strong>for</strong> the body in maintaining its 37 °C<br />
com<strong>for</strong>t temperature. A well-designed layer<br />
system takes full advantage of your sweat:<br />
it converts it to energy. You save power —<br />
and that increases your per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />
“Endurance athletes use up to 97 % of<br />

Nobody can control the weather. But you<br />
can control how it influences your own<br />

<strong>Lamborghini</strong> provides maximum independance<br />
with a patented, globally unique<br />
system from X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® . It optimises the<br />
important function of perspiration as a<br />
factor regulating body temperature, and<br />
provides important resources <strong>for</strong> more<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance. The 3D Bionic Sphere ®<br />
System leaves a fine film of moisture in<br />
significant zones of the skin, which the<br />
body doesn’t perceive as moisture.<br />
Sweat Traps ® draw in excess perspiration,<br />
wick them out <strong>for</strong> evaporation and dispose<br />
of them through thermodynamics. Nothing<br />
remains on the skin except a pleasant<br />
residual moisture that cools. Because:<br />
no sweat – no cooling. At low outdoor temperatures,<br />
the complex system of channels<br />
provides an insulating effect in rest<br />
phases. That prevents the risk of cooling<br />
after sports.<br />

X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® Partialkompression ® : Stronger than the laws of thermodynamics.<br />
At speeds of 325 km/h, the airflow shooting<br />
under a <strong>Lamborghini</strong> is met by a range<br />
of diffusers on the vehicle’s back end. The<br />
sensors task is to make specific changes<br />
to the pressure distribution on the<br />
underbody to create downthrust <strong>for</strong> more<br />
grip and quicker cornering. The X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ®<br />
Partialkompression ® uses exactly this kind<br />
of well-thought out influence to keep skin<br />
cool. Parallel pressure webs create higher<br />
and lower compression. This reduces the<br />
burden on the circulatory system and at<br />
the same time assists with better oxygen<br />
and nutrient supply to the musculature.<br />

INTERACTION.<br />
Boost your per<strong>for</strong>mance with patented THE TRICK ® Technology.<br />
During sports activity, the body<br />
temperature rises continuously. Only<br />
when the curve reaches the overheating<br />
zone does the body start taking<br />
countermeasures. The delay in sweat<br />
production and the cooling effect means<br />
that a high temperature peak must be<br />
reduced. The body is still in the optimum<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance range, and thanks to THE<br />
TRICK ® sweat production has already been<br />
initiated. The early onset of the cooling<br />
effect quickly and effectively reduces the<br />
body temperature, which is still low. The<br />
athlete retains his or her energy reserves<br />

1 Spine Insulation Zone<br />
Special woven structures placed along the spine<br />
simulate the entire body warming up. In addition, it<br />
creates a localised zone of warmth where the body<br />
temperature climbs distinctly higher than on the<br />
rest of the body.<br />
2 Sensors along the spinal cord<br />
Within the zone of warmth, they register a strong<br />
warming trend. The sensors transmit their observation<br />
along the spinal cord to the brain.<br />

The brain interprets the signals as a sign that<br />
the entire body is overheating. It kicks in sweat<br />
production although the body in fact is still near<br />

Thorny Devil Technology, a new dimension of power improvement.<br />
Some technology has been optimised over<br />
millions of years. It’s the secret of the success<br />
of survival artists like the thorny devil,<br />
a desert lizard that manages its fluid<br />
metabolism perfectly even in the most<br />
extreme heat. From it, X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® has<br />
distilled the ground-breaking Thorny Devil<br />
Technology. Against all expectations — and<br />
against the <strong>for</strong>ce of gravity — perspiration<br />
is wicked up through channels to zones<br />
of the body where it can exert its cooling<br />
effect most efficiently. More cooling means<br />
less bodily stress. The result: improved<br />

1 Sweat Collector<br />
Sweat Collectors are placed where the body accumulates<br />
the most sweat. This is where sweat is soaked up like<br />
a sponge and moved gradually through the thickened<br />
structures of the HydroPort yarn to Sweat Transporters.<br />
With this network of transporting yarn, sweat is shuttled<br />
to the Sweat Distributor zone.<br />
2 Sweat Transporter<br />
Like a network of tiny canals, the sweat-transporting<br />
HydroPort yarn wraps around the body. Sweat on the<br />
abdomen and back is continuously guided to the Sweat<br />
Distributors on the upper thighs. Sweat Transporters<br />
ensure that sweat can evaporate there, exactly where<br />
it can have the largest possible cooling effect on<br />
overheated muscles.<br />
3 Sweat Distributor<br />
The design of the Sweat Distributors takes its lead from<br />
the anatomy of the muscles. Its construction combines<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® Partialkompression ® and knit-in ridges that<br />
cool off muscles. Guided by Sweat Transporters, sweat<br />
is gathered over a broad area in the Sweat Distributors,<br />
which are at-the-ready as a cooling mechanism. If heat<br />
is produced, evaporation immediately counteracts it.<br />
Sweat Distributors provide additional cooling <strong>for</strong><br />
heat-intensive muscle areas.<br />

X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® SpaceFrame Technology.<br />
Sooner or later, the air between the<br />
sportsman’s active body and conventional<br />
sports clothing is saturated with moisture.<br />
Athletes perspire, and the moisture-rich<br />
air builds up. The body threatens to overheat.<br />
Jerseys, jackets and pants become<br />
moist, stick to the body, feel heavy and<br />
unpleasant. X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® prevents this problem<br />
with the SpaceFrame Technology. High<br />
technology that permits optimum sports<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance. The term “spaceframe”<br />
comes from the automobile industry.<br />
Here, it stands <strong>for</strong> a lightweight but highly<br />
functional chassis. It saves energy and<br />
offers optimum function with very little<br />
weight. A human being isn’t an automobile.<br />
But the human also needs an outer<br />
shell <strong>for</strong> maximum sports per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
that combines light weight and optimum<br />
functionality. The X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® SpaceFrame<br />
Technology offers you exactly that, taking<br />
into account the special requirements of<br />
the human body.
81<br />
SpaceFrame provides special elements on the back<br />
to provide continuous air circulation to replace<br />
perspiration-saturated air with fresh air.<br />
That lets X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® prevent heat build-up and collecting<br />
moisture. The body stays at its ideal temperature – the<br />

with a record breaking grid of 47 cars in Monza, these unique<br />
vehicles will monopolize the championship’s entry list in Europe<br />
and in the other two continental series to be run in Asia and<br />
North America. A marque that is famous and esteemed all over<br />
the world, and a car that’s conceptually very similar to GT3 cars,<br />
are a remarkable combination which is continuing a challenge of<br />
technology and sport at the very highest levels.

SUPER TROFEO ASIA<br />
SUPER TROFEO NORTH AMERICA<br />
Following three successful seasons in Europe from 2009, in 2012<br />
the <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Super Trofeo Championship headed to Asia<br />
and since then the series is growing fast. With races on famous<br />
international circuits like Shanghai, Fuji and Sepang, and teams<br />
from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Japan, the Asian series<br />
provides an exclusive plat<strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong> Gentlemen drivers, entering<br />
individually or in teams of two.<br />
After its expansion into the Asian market, <strong>Lamborghini</strong> brought<br />
the one-make series to the North America in 2013, where the<br />
races are held alongside the prestigious IMSA WeatherTech<br />
SportsCar Championship. Twenty-plus cars grids on popular<br />
circuits like the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Cali<strong>for</strong>nia or the<br />
Circuit of The Americas in Texas ensure exciting action. In 2015,<br />
North America hosted the <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Blancpain Super Trofeo<br />
World Final, at Sebring circuit.

TURNING HEADWIND INTO AN ADVANTAGE.<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® FOR AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI BIKE JACKET<br />
When wind resistance makes the difference in speed,<br />
aerodynamic <strong>for</strong>ms become important. And not just<br />
in automobile design. The X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong><br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong> Bike Jacket follows the same rules.<br />
Distinctive openings in the outer layer provides<br />
cooling, follow the laws of aerodynamics and make<br />
thorough use of gravity. They’ve demonstrated their<br />
efficiency in wind tunnel tests in Milan, Italy. One<br />
result from testing: Based on measurement data, the<br />
engineers at X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® were able to determine the<br />
anatomically correct position of the air intakes. The<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Bike Jacket<br />
is inspired by the future. And it’s being built today in<br />
Italy.<br />
TECHNICAL DETAILS<br />
1 Converter Port<br />
3 3D Bionic Sphere ® System<br />
5 Diffuser on the collar<br />
The converter port is located in the upper middle of the<br />
back. Air flowing along the back is used to manipulate<br />
wind resistance. Fine little vortices at the break-away<br />
edge are captured by the 3D Bionic Sphere ® System in<br />
the interior of the jacket. Vapour pressure generated by<br />
body heat guides moisture resulting from perspiration out<br />
of the jacket. The air streaming over the jacket takes the<br />
moisture up and along to the final flow separation point.<br />
2 V6-AirIntake System<br />
Along the back, the six V-shaped V6-AirIntakes complete<br />
the concept of back ventilation. Starting at the angle of the<br />
V-shaped AirIntake, the air flowing past <strong>for</strong>ms a tiny vortex<br />
that pulls the moisture out of the jacket. The layers of air<br />
above slide stably past. Within the interior of the jacket,<br />
the V6-AirIntake system acts as a valve, allowing the air<br />
circulating there to escape.<br />
Located on the chest and back, the 3D Bionic Sphere ®<br />
System is in use without any layer of moisture or heat.<br />
And with no risk of cooling down when you have a rest.<br />
The cooling feature is only activated when your body<br />
starts to warm up and you begin to sweat. If you don’t<br />
start to sweat, the insulation takes hold.<br />

4 Anatomical climate port AirIntakes<br />
The area of the chest is a very effective place to handle<br />
cooling <strong>for</strong> the entire body. The large muscles of the<br />
chest generate more thermal energy even while you’re<br />
resting. The muscle tone also accounts <strong>for</strong> nearly a<br />
quarter of the energy consumption of the entire body.<br />
And when muscular work gets added to the equation,<br />
the body temperature rises. Large muscle groups like<br />
the pectoral muscles are cooled specifically and early.<br />
That has an effective impact on the entire body,<br />
preserving per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />
The diffuser on the collar uses the pressure of body<br />
heat to allow warm, moist air to rise in a controlled<br />
manner and escape.<br />
6 Diffuser on the cuffs<br />
Precise ducts on the cuffs create a highly com<strong>for</strong>table<br />
band on the sleeve and let the moist, hot air escape.<br />
Material:<br />
High elasticity in 6 dimensions. Extremely resistant<br />
against mechanical stress on the inside and outside.<br />
Sweat is carried through the fabric, supported by<br />
body head.<br />
Aerodynamic Fit<br />
One result from the wind tunnel:<br />
The Aerodynamic fit is perfect <strong>for</strong> slim, athletic builds.<br />
The jacket is close-fitting and creates virtually no wind<br />
resistance.<br />
3 3D Bionic Sphere ® System<br />

X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® FOR AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI BIKE SHIRT<br />
Full body engagement – most people only consider<br />
muscular work. But the thinking at X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® goes<br />
far beyond that. How can we make the best possible<br />
use of the condensed energy of perspiration? How<br />
can carefully located compression improve the supply<br />
of oxygen and nutrients? The science of bionics<br />
is full of answers. The X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong><br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong> Bike Shirt lets you experience them<br />
directly. It combines four key technologies <strong>for</strong> the<br />

PERFECT RACE TRIM FOR<br />
YOUR BODY.<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® FOR AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI BIKE BIB TIGHT<br />
Sweat costs too much to be wasted. Sport clothing<br />
manufacturers didn’t consider that <strong>for</strong> a long time.<br />
Instead, they took every possible opportunity to keep<br />
the skin as dry as possible. But moisture can transport<br />
heat very quickly, and it’s an essential part of the<br />
body’s cooling system. Automobile manufacturers<br />
knew that right from the first hour. That’s why<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® brings perspiration back to the skin. When<br />
moisture evaporates, this results in evaporative<br />
cooling, and that cools the body. That gives people<br />
wearing X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Bib<br />
Tight more staying power, and more per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />
Note: it’s not the one who’s driest at the finish line<br />
who wins. It’s the one who sweats most efficiently.<br />

2 Sweat Collector<br />
They are located where the body has the largest collection<br />
of sweat. Moisture is absorbed here like a sponge and<br />
moved to the sweat transporters by the gradually thicker<br />
structures of the Hydroport yarn. This network of transport<br />
threads takes the sweat into the sweat distributor zones.<br />

6 Sweat Transporter<br />
The moisture-transporting Hydroport yarn surrounds the<br />
body like a network of microchannels. On the stomach<br />
and back, sweat is continuously transported to the sweat<br />
distributors on the upper thighs. Sweat transporters<br />
ensure that sweat evaporates where it can have the<br />
greatest possible cooling effect <strong>for</strong> overheated muscles.<br />

The ground-breaking Thorny Devil Technology turns the<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Bib Tight into the<br />
champion of self-regulating cooling. The system integrating<br />
Sweat Collectors, Sweat Transporters and Sweat<br />
Distributor zones covers nearly the entire surface<br />
area. Using standards found in nature, excess sweat is<br />
collected on sweat-intensive areas via capillary action.<br />
The sweat is guided using a dense network of channels<br />
to those muscle areas that heat up more quickly. That<br />
enables an optimal cooling effect.<br />
Guarantees effective ventilation so moisture is quickly<br />
wicked and transported away. No sweat means insulating<br />
air pockets in the wavelike structure protect against cold.<br />

The Air-Conditioning Channel ® of fine mesh weave is an<br />
air guidance system that continuously ventilates the feet<br />
and legs. The movement of the arches of the feet works<br />
with the Air-Conditioning Channel ® during each step to<br />
pump moist, overheated air out of the interior of the shoe<br />
and replace it with fresh air as the foot rises again. This<br />
ensures dry, naturally air-conditioned feet.<br />

IN THE LEAD EVEN WHEN WET.<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® FOR AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI RUNNING JACKET<br />
Rain costs per<strong>for</strong>mance — in conventional running<br />
jackets, anyway. Because penetrating moisture<br />
destroys the optimum power climate. Conventional<br />
membranes are also not capable of wicking water<br />
droplets outwards. Symbionic ® membrane of the<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Running Jacket<br />
is different. Without letting moisture penetrate,<br />
its novel outer skin wicks an enormous quantity of<br />
moisture from inside to the outside. Both water vapour<br />
and droplets. Like the lightning-fast closing of the<br />
roof of a convertible, the X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong><br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong> Running Jacket protects you from the<br />
elements. So your running doesn’t have to end up as<br />
swimming.<br />
TECHNICAL DETAILS<br />
1 Front-Ventilation Operator<br />
If per<strong>for</strong>mance increases during running, whether because<br />
of an uphill stretch or a sprint interval, specific areas of<br />
the body are subject to strain. The energy metabolism is<br />
increased and temperature rises temporarily. The<br />
“sweating” due to that load lasts a few minutes more.<br />
It’s a nice feeling, when you can experience spontaneous<br />
“bursts of ventilation” even in the rain. Opening the zip<br />
would mean opening yourself up to the rain. To avoid that,<br />
the front ventilation operators can be opened individually<br />
using a push button. The opening is slim; water running<br />
down is captured and guided downwards as though it<br />
were in a rain gutter. A hexagonal mesh below stops<br />
water droplets while still permitting the unrestricted<br />
exchange of air.<br />
structure that permits no moisture to penetrate while<br />
still allowing air to circulate unhindered.<br />
3 Convection Flaps<br />
During running, cooling air can be let in at the chest and<br />
clavicle. Air flow results that surrounds the whole upper<br />
body. Air circulates and can be guided out of the jacket in<br />
back. Water can’t penetrate.<br />
4 ISO-Shoulder<br />
The ISO-Pads on the shoulder retain insulating air and<br />
protect this area from chills.<br />
6 Diffuser on the collar<br />
The diffuser on the collar uses the pressure of body heat<br />
to allow warm, moist air to rise in a controlled manner and<br />
escape.<br />
7 Reflectors<br />
8 Seam-Taped<br />
2 Quick Ventilation Nozzle<br />
5 Pre-shaped elbows<br />
Quick to zip open. The opening runs along the clavicle.<br />
There are also spacers at the beginning and end of the zip<br />
within the jacket which keep the jacket away from you.<br />
Hollow spaces <strong>for</strong>m under them that take in rising warm<br />
air. A brief opening of the zip is enough to move a large<br />
quantity of overheated air out of the jacket in a short time.<br />
To protect from water spray there is a hexagonal mesh<br />
Optimal fit and the highest range of motion are guaranteed<br />
due to anatomically pre-<strong>for</strong>med elbows.<br />

X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® FOR AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI RUNNING PANTS<br />
Conventional running pants ignore your anatomy.<br />
Running doesn’t just rely on training of your thigh<br />
muscles. It also needs optimum utilisation of the<br />
muscle potential during activity. Cooling perspiration<br />

<strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Running Pants bring the<br />
perspiration to where it can have a per<strong>for</strong>manceboosting<br />

a sponge and moved to the sweat transporters by the<br />
gradually thicker structures of the Hydroport yarn. This<br />
network of transport threads takes the sweat into the sweat<br />
distributor zones.<br />
4 Sweat Distributor with Partialkompression ®<br />
The design of the Sweat Distributors takes its lead from<br />
the anatomy of the muscles. Its construction combines<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® Partialkompression ® and knit-in ridges that<br />
cool off muscles. Guided by Sweat Transporters, sweat<br />
is gathered over a broad area in the Sweat Distributors,<br />
which are at-the-ready as a cooling mechanism. If heat is<br />
produced, evaporation immediately counteracts it. Sweat<br />
Distributors provide additional cooling <strong>for</strong> heat-intensive<br />
muscle areas.<br />

The ground-breaking Thorny Devil Technology turns<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Running Pants<br />
into the champion of self-regulating cooling. The system<br />
integrating Sweat Collectors, Sweat Transporters<br />
and Sweat Distributor zones covers nearly the entire<br />
surface area. Using standards found in nature, excess<br />
sweat is collected on sweat-intensive areas via capillary<br />
action. The sweat is guided using a dense network of<br />
channels to those muscle areas that heat up more<br />
quickly. That enables an optimal cooling effect.<br />

A new benchmark in compression technology. Partialkompression<br />
® accelerates the transport of venous blood back<br />
to the heart against the <strong>for</strong>ce of gravity. This improves<br />
blood circulation and the supply of nutrients. The heart<br />
and circulatory system are relieved, and the heart rate<br />
falls. The energy saved is then available to the athlete as<br />
a reserve. The gradual compression also helps regeneration<br />
and reduces the risk of thrombosis. X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ®<br />
Partialkompression ® takes advantage of compression<br />
without neglecting cooling.<br />

Similarly to the mid-mounted engine design of a<br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong>, the pants also require a special thermal<br />
strategy to direct hot air away from the body and avoid<br />
overheating. This is achieved with the dorsal heat<br />
transfer zone. The extremely fine mesh between the<br />
compression ridges allows heat to dissipate effectively.<br />

System utilizes the rising body heat during strenuous<br />
sporting activity to balance the temperature. In the rest<br />
phase, the air stored in these ducts warms the body. The<br />
design ensures an aimed air exchange in the selected<br />

When you start to sweat, your neck gets moist very quickly.<br />
This is usually due to the fact that materials directly<br />

no longer possible. X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong><br />
exclusively uses high-tech material around the inner collar<br />
that permits the continuous exchange of air to whisk<br />

The high metabolic rate of the athlete and the resulting<br />

<strong>Lamborghini</strong> Super Trofeo Pilot Jacket V.3 itself.<br />
The air is conducted to the back section of the garment<br />
where the 3D Bionic Sphere ® ventilation channels go<br />
about their role of keeping the athlete cool and dry. The<br />
openings on the exterior of the 3D Bionic Sphere ® System<br />
are directly exposed to the wind, accentuating the Bernoulli<br />
effect (suppression) within the jersey. Temperature<br />
and humidity regulation takes place at various levels<br />
within the system, keeping you cool.<br />

X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® FOR AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI FIRESHIELD SHIRT<br />
Cockpit temperatures of over 50 degrees. Hard fights<br />
<strong>for</strong> every position. Lightning-fast driving manoeuvres.<br />
They impose incredible physical demands on the<br />
driver. The specific stresses on the muscles, heart<br />
and circulation were the subject of precise study by<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® engineers. On the road – and in the lab.<br />
Then they developed the perfect interface between<br />
human and machine: the X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong><br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong> FireShield Shirt. The exclusive Bionic<br />
Aramid fiber used can withstand temperatures of up<br />
to 400 °C. The millimetre-thick fabric integrates a<br />
patented adaptive system <strong>for</strong> body cooling as well as<br />
other technologies directed towards specific zones<br />
of the body <strong>for</strong> improved perspiration management,<br />
better muscle coordination and more com<strong>for</strong>t.<br />

Developed <strong>for</strong> the underarm area, they prevent dripping<br />
sweat and cool the body particularly effectively.<br />
4 Air-Conditioning Channel ® in the chest area<br />
The chest area includes part of the climate channel<br />
system. Physiological studies have shown that the chest<br />
area is an optimal zone <strong>for</strong> quick and effective venting<br />
and cooling. Exchanging fresh air over a system of<br />
channels cools the chest area without spreading a<br />
“cold” sensation throughout the body. The constant air<br />
movement along the Air-Conditioning Channel ® also<br />
effectively draws moisture away from the sweat zones.<br />
The unfolding of the weave on the bellows principle<br />
ensures that the insulating effect remains even in the<br />
bent condition. The flexibility of the Expansion Ribs ®<br />
and the elasticity of the thread permit resistance-free<br />
motion. Fatigue symptoms due to stress like the angled<br />
arm do not occur.<br />

6 Air-Conditioning Channel ®<br />
The Air-Conditioning Channel ® is a ventilation system<br />
of channels that flow around the body, continuously<br />
carrying away moisture and warmth. It allows air to flow<br />
to body regions not normally accessible by fresh air<br />
circulation.<br />
2 3D Bionic Sphere ® System<br />
The 3D Bionic Sphere ® System works from its position<br />
on the chest and the back. Without the sensation<br />
of wetness or heat. No risk of overcooling during<br />
recovery. The cooling is activated only when the body’s<br />
temperaturerises and sweating begins. If no sweat is<br />
present, then the system serves as insulation. The 3D<br />
Bionic Sphere ® system only begins to cool once you are<br />
sweating.<br />

4 Aktiv-Bund ®<br />
The Aktiv-Bund ® adapts to any size leg and hip<br />
without slipping or constricting.<br />
The hollow of the knee perspires quickly and heavily.<br />
To process this sweat, a finely knitted mesh allows<br />
moisture to pass through but does not impede knee<br />
motion. Sweat evaporates and is pushed outward with<br />
the help of body warmth. The risk of over-cooling does<br />
not exist in this small area.<br />
In terms of muscle per<strong>for</strong>mance, the inner thigh is<br />
less reactive to cold. We all instinctively know this:<br />
When our hands are cold, we put them between our<br />
thighs to warm them up, helping us re-establish<br />
our overallsense of warmth faster. The Innerlap<br />
AirConditioning Zone ® has been placed in this area. It<br />
is a finely knitted mesh with zero insulation. Cooling<br />
there<strong>for</strong>e occurs initially through the exchange of<br />
air. As soon as sweat has started to evaporate, the<br />
cooling process steps it up a notch since the<br />
activation system lies directly next to the skin.<br />

activated when your body starts to warm up and you<br />
begin to sweat. If there’s no sweat, the insulation takes<br />
hold. The generous Sweat Traps ® here <strong>for</strong>ming the 3D<br />
Bionic sphere ® system stop sweat even as it <strong>for</strong>ms,<br />
so the first phase of the footsore condition is already<br />
interrupted.<br />

A knee can bend up to 160 °: however, most<br />
undergarments can’t withstand this stress without<br />
being pulled thin and, hence, resulting in a loss of<br />
functional insulation. In contrast, the accordionlike<br />
construction of the Expansion Ribs ® retains its<br />
insulating properties rather than losing them when<br />
the knee bends. A highly flexible system of chambers<br />
and channels spreads open with each movement,<br />
releasing the warm air stored inside.<br />

2 Collar spacer<br />
Sometimes things have to increase speed. You need relief<br />
and ventilation. Opening the zip would let out too much<br />
heat, and the jacket would flap open and hinder every<br />
movement. In situations like this, the collar spacer can<br />

The best protection from wind and weather.<br />
The shoulder is one of our most stressed joints. If the joint<br />
and muscles cool down, its function can be significantly<br />
restricted. When the arms are at rest, the Expansion Ribs ®<br />
have an insulating effect. Their bellows mechanism has<br />
waves that fill with body-heated air to insulate against the<br />
cold. Then, when the arms are needed, the air is pressed<br />
out with no resistance. At rest, the shoulders are perfectly<br />
well-insulated. But when work is needed from the shoulder<br />
region, it’s available with no obstacles.<br />

When you start to sweat, your neck gets moist very<br />
quickly. This is usually due to the fact that the materials<br />
directly on the skin are not active to the climate.<br />
Air circulation is no longer possible. X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> uses only high-tech material<br />
around the inner collar that permits the continuous<br />
exchange of air to whisk moisture away from the skin as<br />

the collar so warm, moist air rising up inside the jacket<br />
can be guided out.<br />

To achieve big goals, you have to pay attention to small<br />
details: threads and fibers. For us, they’re the basis of top<br />

the smallest things. Macrotermes:<br />
• High pore volume and absorbent power<br />
• High expansion capability and elasticity<br />
• Pleasantly matt, no-rattle surface appearance<br />

A perfect body climate is not achieved by chance. It’s<br />
the result of well-thought-out technology:<br />
The scientifically acknowledged ClimaSphere System<br />
is built in into a large area on the back. With its vertical<br />
ducts, the ClimaSphere System utilizes the rising body<br />
heat during strenuous sporting activity to balance the<br />
temperature. In the rest phase, the air stored in these<br />
ducts warms the body. The design ensures an aimed<br />
air exchange in the selected zone within the clothing<br />
system. This allows <strong>for</strong> extremely effective removal of<br />
very moist, warm air from the X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong><br />

TECHNICAL DETAILS<br />
1 Air-Conditioning Channel ®<br />
4 ISO-CalfPad: Anatomically adapted<br />
6 Two-Step Front 3D Bionic Sphere ® System<br />
The Air-Conditioning Channel ® is a ventilation system<br />
of channels that flow around the body to continuously<br />
transport moisture and heat away. It makes it possible<br />
<strong>for</strong> air to reach regions of the body that are normally<br />
not accessible to fresh air circulation.<br />
2 Air Guide ®<br />
Air Guides ® work like spacers and borders along the<br />
AirConditioning Channel ® . The Air-Conditioning Channel ®<br />
must be combined with the Air Guides ® <strong>for</strong> winter use.<br />
3 ISO-Pad<br />
In winter, targeted insulation of individual body parts<br />
guards against ambient coldness can prevent the body<br />
from freezing. This is why ISO-Pads over the hipbones<br />
and the more subtle ISO-Pads on the buttocks retain<br />
body heat that is necessary to guarantee interior organ<br />
functionality.<br />
Calf muscles can cool down quickly, particularly after<br />
short breaks and even if the body is still warm. This<br />
can lead to a risk of injury. The ISO-CalfPad retains<br />
the body’s warmth. To that end, the knitted fabric’s<br />
wavelike structure lies over the skin, <strong>for</strong>ming channels<br />
<strong>for</strong> storing air in a manner similar to the ISO-Shoulder.<br />
The warmer air retained in these channels definitively<br />
delays the cool-down of the calf musculature and adjusts<br />
to the body’s overall perception of warmth.<br />
5 3D Bionic Sphere ® System<br />
in the lower part of the back specifically prevents sweat<br />
from flowing towards the seat. If perspiration collects<br />
there, friction can quickly cause painful wounds. The<br />

9 InsulationPads with X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® Partialkompression ®<br />
Assist in the retention of heat in the thighs. Undercooled<br />
muscles are susceptible to injury, and greatly<br />
under-cooled muscles can feel numb. Even more<br />
dangerous is when the cooling slows the muscle<br />
reaction time, leading to the increased threat of<br />
muscle injuries and risk of accidents. This increase<br />
can be as much as 60 % in the case of skiing, <strong>for</strong><br />
example. InsulationPads reduce such risks. Shaped like<br />
waves, their protection lies over a large surface of the<br />
most superficial thigh muscle, thereby retaining the<br />

X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® FOR AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI GOLF JACKET<br />
Achieving a combination of unrestricted freedom of<br />
movement and optimum weather protection – such<br />
was the challenge when it came to developing the<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Golf Jacket.<br />
The solution came in the <strong>for</strong>m of a high-tech, twopiece<br />
jacket. Whilst the symbionic ® membrane outer<br />
jacket provides protection from the wind and rain, the<br />
fabric inner guarantees the best elasticity.<br />
TECHNICAL DETAILS<br />

2 6-dimensional elasticity<br />
Only knitwear can provide such a degree of elasticity.<br />
High-tech yarns, knitted structures and highly elastic flat<br />
seams are featured in the X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® Shelter Jacket in order<br />
to ensure extreme elasticity and guarantee a perfect fit.<br />
3 Expansion Flex Zone at the shoulder joint<br />
The wavelike structure of the ISO-Pads lies over the<br />
shoulders, keeping the body warm and guarding against<br />
chills. Conventional jackets let a lot of warmth escape in<br />
this area because the weight of the jacket and a golf bag<br />
compresses any insulation material, thus losing any of<br />
their value.<br />
5 Front pocket with waterproof zipper<br />
6 Waterproof front zipper<br />
The SpaceFrame system works as a spacer inside, keeping<br />
the air circulation pathways open.<br />
9 Shelter Cover to pull over<br />
The X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Golf Jacket<br />
is made up of two complementary parts. The inner part<br />
is a vest that has a knit fabric in the area of the shoulder<br />
girdle. That’s the only way to ensure that every movement<br />
of your golf swing can be carried out without hindrance.<br />
As protection from wind and rain, the Shelter Cover can<br />
also be pulled over it. It is also made of water-repellent<br />
symbionic ® membrane.<br />
Flexibility of the Expansion Flex Zone and the<br />
stretch of the yarn enable unrestricted movement.<br />
In addition, the Stretch Ribs allow a problem-free<br />
riding position in the shoulder area without pulling<br />
up the jacket. That guarantees all of the different<br />
technology stays where it belongs to optimally<br />
achieve intended function.<br />
7 Diffuser<br />
Warm, moist air rises from the SpaceFrame in the back<br />
into the collar. The vertically aligned channels of the<br />
diffuser structure on the high-cut inside of the collar<br />
maintain a distance from the neck, <strong>for</strong>ming a chimney<br />
up which the water vapour from perspiration upwards.<br />

THE TUNING KIT FOR YOUR HITTING ARM.<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® FOR AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI GOLF ARM PRECIZER<br />
With the X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Golf<br />
Arm Precizer the entire competence of our engineers<br />
is at your side. Literally. Because they’ve customdeveloped<br />
this per<strong>for</strong>mance-enhancing high-tech<br />
design <strong>for</strong> the swing dynamics of a left-handed or<br />
right-handed golfer. Muscle-specific compression<br />
places receptors under your skin into a preliminary<br />
tension that lets them respond more quickly and more<br />
precisely. Different knit structures reduce the risk<br />
specific muscles from cooling and injury. Your stroke<br />
energy is focussed, and your game turns into a<br />
power play.<br />

X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® Partialkompression ® keeps peripheral nervous<br />
cells ready <strong>for</strong> action at all times, optimises the exchange<br />
of neural impulses between muscles and the brain, increases<br />
muscular reaction, contraction and coordination, and<br />
reduces the risk of injury and fatigue.<br />
2 X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® Partialkompression ®<br />
Compression is used to increase per<strong>for</strong>mance and improve<br />
muscle control. X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® Partialkompression ® , optimised<br />
<strong>for</strong> blood flow through the capillaries and other blood vessels,<br />
is the only compression product that has a tissue-like<br />
structure to offer all the advantages of compression while<br />
simultaneously allowing the blood to flow into the smallest<br />
capillaries of the body, preserving its cooling function.<br />
Especially on hot days, that results in lasting per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />

Strained muscles vibrate heavily. Deathly <strong>for</strong> a precision<br />
swing. There<strong>for</strong>e, the hitting arm, which gives power to the<br />
strike, is supported by high partial compression.<br />
4 Asymmetric compression – Leading arm<br />
The guiding arm has to be straight, move smoothly<br />
and must not waver in any way. The mid compression<br />
reduces muscle vibration and hence assists with<br />
perfect movement.<br />
5 Neural-Response-Bandage on the elbow<br />
Stabilises and supports your elbows during a tee shot.<br />
The Expansion Ribs ® of the elbow cushions create an insulating<br />
additional air cushion when bent. The folding apart<br />

X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® FOR AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI GOLF PERFORMANCE SOCKS<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Golf Per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
Socks are the power package <strong>for</strong> your feet.<br />
Cushion zones in the anatomically important areas<br />
reduce the risk of foot wounds and painful blisters.<br />
Thanks to the active breathing of the newly developed<br />
materials and the mesh knit techniques within the<br />
ventilation zones, your feet are continuously<br />
ventilated and naturally cooled. Heat and moisture<br />
are not retained in the socks, but rather pumped out<br />
of the shoe with the flow of circulating fresh air. Your<br />
feet stay dry and can easily withstand the long periods<br />
of stress at golf tournaments — so you can simply<br />
concentrate on the ball.<br />
TECHNICAL DETAILS<br />
1 Air-Conditioning Channel ®<br />
The Air-Conditioning Channel ® made from a fine mesh knit<br />
is an air guidance system that continuously ventilates the<br />
foot and leg. Thanks to the springs of the arch of the foot,<br />
the Air-Conditioning Channel ® can pump moist, overheated<br />
air out of the interior of the shoe on every step, replacing<br />
it with fresh air as the foot is lifted. Your feet stay dry and<br />
naturally air-conditioned at all times.<br />

step is all it takes to upset this careful combination. So<br />
it’s important to cushion and stabilise the ankle region<br />
without restricting your freedom of movement. The unique<br />

1 Air-Conditioning Channel ®<br />
The Air-Conditioning Channel ® starts at the hottest point,<br />
the arch of the foot, then leads along the foot and leg out<br />
of the shoe. Weight placed on the foot causes the arch<br />
to push down, in turn generating overpressure under the<br />
foot. Warm, moist air is <strong>for</strong>ced out of the shoe. As the foot<br />
relaxes, the arch expands again, causing an underpressure.<br />
Fresh air flows back under the arch. This pump effect<br />
allows moisture and heat to be regulated continuously.<br />

and back: the two-tone 3D Bionic Sphere ® system <strong>for</strong><br />
peak-per<strong>for</strong>mance sweat management. It cools when<br />
you sweat and warms when you’re cold. Breathable<br />
surfaces on the sides also stabilise the internal<br />
climate, while diffusers on the cuffs efficiently fend<br />
off cold and moisture. And if there’s a shower in your<br />

Diffuser on the collar<br />
When you start to sweat, your neck gets moist very<br />
quickly. This is usually due to the fact that materials<br />
directly on the skin are less climatically active.<br />
Air circulation is no longer possible. X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> exclusively uses high-tech<br />
material around the inner collar that permits the<br />
continuous exchange of air to whisk moisture away<br />
from the skin as it <strong>for</strong>ms. The corrugations of the<br />
diffuser are built into the collar so warm, moist air<br />
rising up inside the jacket can be guided out.<br />

<strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Outdoor Gear. It brings<br />
scientific discoveries from bionics and reliable<br />
solutions from automobile technology to highly<br />
exclusive sporty outfits. The air intakes on the sides<br />
of the pants, just like in a car with a mid-mounted<br />
engine, guide air precisely into the interior. Four<br />
different materials are used to provide stability<br />
without compromises and lasting wear. Every seam,<br />
every detail, every component provides per<strong>for</strong>manceincreasing<br />
function.<br />
TECHNICAL DETAILS<br />
1 Innerlap AirConditioning Zone ®<br />
3 Pre-<strong>for</strong>med knee<br />
5 3D Bionic Sphere ® System at the tailbone<br />
In terms of muscle per<strong>for</strong>mance, the inner thigh is<br />
less reactive to cold. We all instinctively know this: When<br />
our hands are cold, we put them between our thighs to<br />
warm them up, helping us re-establish our overall sense<br />
of warmth faster. The Innerlap AirConditioning Zone ®<br />
has been placed in this area. It is a finely knitted mesh<br />
with zero insulation. Cooling there<strong>for</strong>e occurs initially<br />
through the exchange of air. As soon as sweat has<br />
started to evaporate, the cooling process steps it up a<br />
notch since the activation system lies directly next to<br />
the skin.<br />
2 6-dimensional elasticity<br />
For outstanding freedom of movement in any situation.<br />
Perfect fit and unrestricted movement are guaranteed<br />
due to the anatomically designed knees.<br />
4 Closable side pocket<br />
Concealed side pocket provides plenty of space <strong>for</strong><br />
passport, camera, lighter, city map or flight tickets.<br />
Sweat Traps ® in the lower part of the back are specially<br />
designed to prevent sweat from flowing towards the seat;<br />
if sweat collects there, painful wounds quickly result from<br />
the friction. Sweat Traps ® prevent that right from the<br />
start.<br />

6 Y-Flex Zone<br />
The Y-Flex Zone guarantees the perfect seat and ideal<br />
freedom of movement in the entire pants. The Y-shaped<br />
arrangement towards the knee guarantees perfect<br />
com<strong>for</strong>t when the legs are bent as well as when they<br />
are straight.<br />

High waistband with diffuser design on the inside. Ducts<br />

Thanks to nanotechnology, the bionic example of plants<br />
provides a natural self-cleaning process that has been<br />
applied to the surface of X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong><br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong> Outdoor Pants. It makes them particularly<br />
water and dirt-repellent from outside, as well as being<br />
wash-resistant so it’s always ready to spring into action.<br />
From inside, the material absorbs excess moisture<br />
quickly to provide a per<strong>for</strong>manceenhancing<br />
cooling effect.<br />

TECHNICAL DETAILS<br />
1 3D Bionic Sphere ® System on the chest<br />
3 Air-Conditioning Channel ®<br />
5 3D Bionic Sphere ® System on the back<br />
Physiological studies have shown that the chest area<br />
is the best place to regulate body temperature quickly<br />
and effectively. Without giving the body the impression<br />
that it is getting cold, fresh air from the 3D Bionic<br />
Sphere ® System in the chest area cools down the body<br />
temperature. The air is tempered inside the ducts,<br />
working like a sluice. Hot, moist air is disposed of using<br />
the dynamics of body warmth and then replaced with<br />
new fresh air. No draughts, but perfect ventilation.<br />

SI1476033T, CN3807886, JP 4 546 734, CA 2475537<br />
The Air-Conditioning Channel ® is a ventilation system<br />
of channels that flow around the body, continuously<br />
carrying away moisture and warmth. It allows air to flow<br />
to body regions not normally accessible by fresh air<br />
circulation.<br />
4 Sweat Traps ®<br />
Designed <strong>for</strong> large underarm areas to prevent<br />
dripping and to cool more effectively.<br />
Cools, when you sweat. Warms, when you are cold. Even<br />
when you’re wearing several layers. The 3D Bionic Sphere ®<br />
System makes it possible. The individual X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® layers<br />
act either separately or combined <strong>for</strong> improved functionality.<br />
The overlapping channel structures run in parallel, offering<br />
perfect regulation of moisture and temperature. This unique<br />
capacity of multiple layers to work together is a patented<br />
technology: X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® SystemGear.<br />

of the shoe. Weight placed on the foot causes the arch<br />
to push down, in turn generating overpressure under the<br />
foot. Warm, moist air is <strong>for</strong>ced out of the shoe. As the foot<br />
relaxes, the arch expands again, causing an underpressure.<br />
Fresh air flows back under the arch. This pump effect<br />

X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® FOR AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI HURACÁN BIKE SHIRT<br />
Full body engagement – most people only consider<br />
muscular work. But the thinking at X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® goes<br />
far beyond that. How can we make the best possible<br />
use of the condensed energy of perspiration? How<br />
can carefully located compression improve the<br />
supply of oxygen and nutrients? The science of<br />
bionics is full of answers. X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong><br />
<strong>Lamborghini</strong> Huracán Bike Shirt lets you experience<br />
them directly. It combines four key technologies <strong>for</strong><br />
the future of functional clothing. When you need your<br />
best per<strong>for</strong>mance, why should you be satisfied with<br />
anything but the best?<br />
TECHNICAL DETAILS<br />
1 3D Bionic Sphere ® System<br />
Turns sweat into power. The 3D Bionic Sphere ® System on<br />
the chest and back prevents unpleasant moisture, heat<br />
and cooling risks when you have a rest. Only when the<br />
body warms up and you start to sweat does the cooling<br />
effect kick in. If you don’t start to sweat, the insulation<br />
takes hold.<br />

2 AirComPlex-Zone at the upper abdomen<br />
In the solar plexus, directly under the twelfth vertebrae<br />
of the thoracic region, important nerves receive signals<br />
that influence one’s entire well-being. X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Huracán Bike Shirt protects<br />
this sensitive area with special channels. Locked-in<br />
warm air insulates optimally in the cold. The system’s<br />
structure processes excess sweat from physical activity<br />
and ensures appropriate coolness in the core.<br />
3 Expansion Flex Zone at the shoulder joint<br />
Flexibility of the Expansion Flex Zone and the stretch<br />
of the yarn enable unrestricted movement.In addition,<br />
the Stretch Ribs allow a problem-freeriding position<br />
in the shoulder area without pullingup the shirt. That<br />
guarantees all of the differenttechnology stays where it<br />
belongs to optimallyachieve intended function.<br />
4 THE TRICK ® spinal column compression<br />
Your brain generally decides when your body should<br />
switch to cooling mode on the basis of signals from<br />
the nervous system. It’s better when you set the rules<br />
yourself. THE TRICK ® stimulates heating of the entire<br />
body along the spinal column. Sensors report the<br />
heating to the brain, which initiates sweat production<br />
much earlier – long be<strong>for</strong>e overheating can weaken your<br />

PERFECT RACE TRIM FOR YOUR BODY.<br />
X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® FOR AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI HURACÁN BIKE BIB TIGHT<br />
Sweat costs too much to be wasted. Sport clothing<br />
manufacturers didn’t consider that <strong>for</strong> a long time.<br />
Instead, they took every possible opportunity to keep<br />
the skin as dry as possible. But moisture can transport<br />
heat very quickly, and it’s an essential part of the<br />
body’s cooling system. Automobile manufacturers knew<br />
that right from the first hour. That’s why X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ®<br />
brings perspiration back to the skin. When moisture<br />
evaporates, this results in evaporative cooling, and that<br />
cools the body. That gives people wearing X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> Huracán Bike Bib Tight more<br />
staying power, and more per<strong>for</strong>mance. Note: it’s not the<br />
one who’s driest at the finish line who wins. It’s the one<br />
who sweats most efficiently.<br />

6 Sweat Transporter<br />
They are located where the body has the largest collection<br />
of sweat. Moisture is absorbed here like a sponge and<br />
moved to the sweat transporters by the gradually thicker<br />
structures of the Hydroport yarn. This network of transport<br />
threads takes the sweat into the sweat distributor zones.<br />
4 Heat-Exhaust Spots<br />
At the lower back, the body’s internal organs are located<br />
just under the skin surface. A local overheating must be<br />
avoided through heat dissipation. Heat escapes through<br />
Heat-Exhaust spots.<br />
The moisture-transporting Hydroport yarn surrounds the<br />
body like a network of microchannels. On the stomach<br />
and back, sweat is continuously transported to the sweat<br />
distributors on the upper thighs. Sweat transporters<br />
ensure that sweat evaporates where it can have the<br />
greatest possible cooling effect <strong>for</strong> overheated muscles.<br />
5 Sweat Distributor with Partialkompression ®<br />
7 Aktiv-Bund ®<br />
The design of the Sweat Distributors takes its lead from<br />

capillaries and nerves. It is not simply sewn onto the<br />
pant as traditional bike pads are. Instead, X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ®<br />
leaves off the chamois during the manufacturing of<br />
the pants and then sews it in separately by hand so<br />
the fit and elasticity of the pad is not affected by the<br />
pant material. This guarantees fit and com<strong>for</strong>t never<br />

name they bear. Our Swiss-developed, Italianmade high-tech functional clothing from X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> shares the same heartbeat. We take the captivating aura of luxurious athletic<br />
power and put it directly against your skin: no-compromise per<strong>for</strong>mance, technological brilliance,<br />
combined into a highly emotional experience. Wear X-<strong>BIONIC</strong> ® <strong>for</strong> <strong>Automobili</strong> <strong>Lamborghini</strong> and you<br />
will become a part of that irresistible fascination.”<br />
