    Beijing time on the 7th, Lamborghini is working with engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop a new pure electric supercar
    .
    One of the biggest highlights of this car: no battery
    .

    Lamborghini recently unveiled a concept of
    the new car, called the Terzo Millennio.
    The body made of carbon nanotubes will be used as a supercapacitor to store and release energy
    .
    This means that any part of the entire car can become a battery
    .

    At the same time, this technology can also be used to monitor the carbon fiber structure
    of the car.
    If a small crack occurs – such as a collision – then the electrical movement of the body will change
    .
    At this point, the car will be able to stop the crack from growing larger through a process of "self-repairing
    ".

    Mauricio Reggiani, Lamborghini's head of research and development, said even the best batteries are not suitable for use in supercars because they are too bulky
    .
    And if only a small battery is used in order to reduce the weight of the car, the power will be quickly depleted, and it is impossible to provide peak performance
    for a long time.

    In terms of power, the supercar will be four-wheel drive and equipped with 4 electric engines, one on each wheel, which means that the designers have more
    room to design the wheel deck.

    The all-electric supercar could take years to develop, but Reggiani says the effort is worth it
    .
    "For now, we are very optimistic
    ," he said.
