The future of technology and its impact on the environment continues to look brighter. Who wants to look on the "Dark Side" of technology when there is so much on offer for the "Bright Side"?

When it comes to cool in the auto industry the Lamborghini is up there near the top.
Even the head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis, not noted for wearing the latest in fashion, managed to look really cool next to a Lamborghini which was coloured the same as the Pope's white cassock. CNN reported today - 16th Nov 2017 - that it was donated to him by Lamborghini, and the Pope immediately auctioned it off for charity. |

The release of the prototype Lamborghini Terzo Millennio has the world sitting up and paying attention. Not only does it look as good or better than any car depicted in a James Bond or science fiction movie, this car's skin/body is alive.
The hills of Mehlweg meadows of Salzburg in Marktschellenberg, Germany are alive with "The Sound of Music" - made famous by the movie of the same name - and in addition to this the relatively nearby Lamborghini manufacturing company further to the south of the European Alps in Italy is helping keep the hills and environment alive with the purring sound of its own new car which can generate environmentally friendly energy with little pollution. Lamborghini is working on developing a new carbon-fiber body shell for the Terzo Millennio that will be able to store electrical energy. For self-generating energy, these body panels will use electricity-storing carbon nanotubes sandwiched between two laminates of carbon fiber.

The technological goal of the Terzo Millennio project is to enable Lamborghini to address the future of the super sports car in five different dimensions. These are:

The Lamborghini motor company said:
- “To support this revolution in energy storage systems, materials and their functions have to change, too. Lamborghini aims to further develop its leadership in the design and production of carbon fiber structures and parts, enhancing its ability to develop features and functions that take lightweight materials to the next level.”
The technological goal of the Terzo Millennio project is to enable Lamborghini to address the future of the super sports car in five different dimensions. These are:
- Energy storage systems
- Innovative materials
- Propulsion system
- Visionary design and
- Emotion.
- "The project also aims to combine the technology to continuously monitor the whole carbon fiber structure, both visible and invisible, with the concept of “self-healing.” The purpose of the self-healing technology is to give the Terzo Millennio the ability to conduct its own health monitoring to detect cracks and damages in its substructure after accidents. If the car detects damage to the carbon fiber, micro-channels can generate heat to seal cracks and mitigate risk of any further damage. Lamborghini says this tech will allow carbon fiber to be used more extensively throughout the car to reduce the vehicle’s weight."
Humanity is on the cusp of major new technological revolutions in the early 21st century with one of its strategic objectives to make industrial products far more environmentally friendly. Many global auto companies will be watching this project of Lamborghini closely as a new environmentally friendly car industry bursts into life with new buds of promise.
