Lamborghini is a killer. It stands out. It’s a hobby. But still, the sales are depleting; it doesn’t matter even if the luxury charm of the car is intact. Now, as per the general reaction all over, the sculptors of one of the world’s most talked-about cars seems to be piggybacking on the green tag to save it from drowning along with the other auto giants.

Green Luxury

The Italian luxury sports carmaker has made certain changes by improving their V12 engine combustion – making the car lighter, introducing “stop/start” systems and reducing friction. By introducing the improved engine it can reach a maximum speed of 350kph, and by 2015, it is likely to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 35%. In addition to this, its main factory at Sant’Agata Bolognese near Bologna is being equipped with 17,000 square meters of solar panels on the roof, and other measures are being taken to cut the factory emissions by 30%. In the emission test drive, the car emits 495g of CO2 per kilometer, which is three times more than the emissions produced from a typical saloon and five times that from the lowest carbon petrol cars.

It is not that Lamborghini is cutting its CO2 emissions, but other luxury cars too are planning to cut their emissions. Ferrari too wanted to cut their CO2 emissions from 400 grams per kilometer per vehicle to 280-300 by 2012
