Distinctive Wheel Contributes A 20 Percent Weight Savings and
Enhanced Style

CLEVELAND–Alcoa Auto Wheels has been selected by Automobili Lamborghini to supply
lightweight wheels for the Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce (SV). The
forged aluminum wheels reduce un-sprung weight and contribute to the
SV’s 100kg (220 lb.) mass reduction over the standard Murciélago.

“The new Murciélago SV is the product of a substantial cross-car weight
reduction program and forged wheels are vital to meeting this goal,”
explains David Yates, marketing manager for Alcoa Auto Wheels – Europe.
“The engineering behind Alcoa’s forged aluminum wheels enables a 20
percent weight savings over a comparable cast aluminium wheel,
benefiting handling and ride.”

The exclusive five twin-spoke design results in a superior metal
structure that improves strength and durability, offering the
opportunity to create very strong and lightweight wheels. The 18”x8.5”
front wheel weighs just 19.6 lb. The 18”x13” rear wheel weighs just 27.2
lb. Lowering the unsprung mass at each corner results in more responsive
steering, braking and suspension input all while optimizing performance
and efficiency for drivers of the SuperVeloce.

“The SV application highlights Alcoa’s commitment to developing a
lighter and better wheel for automotive OEMs,” concludes Yates.

Alcoa has been at the forefront of developing, producing and supplying
forged aluminum wheels to the global automotive industry for 60 years.
The Murciélago SV project signals the latest Lamborghini and Alcoa
collaboration since the super exotic Reventón program.

Aluminum wheels for Automobili Lamborghini are forged at Alcoa’s
Cleveland (Ohio) Works Plant. For more information on Alcoa forged
