Lamborghini’s latest superbull Aventador gets ‘flying doctors’ treatment

Car accidents happen every day, but accidents that involve supercars are quite rare. Cars like the super elite Aventador usually ends up in the hands of a privileged few, but they also occasionally end up stuffed into guardrails due to some faggots. However, things aren’t going to be so simple for this new Aventador, because of the new carbon fiber monocoque used for the passenger compartment. I mean, yes yo can find some super mechanics for your supercar, but how many of them knows how to fix chipped carbon fiber chassis?

Lamborghini developed this 691-horsepower with the help from Boeing, which together they made the magic happened, a reinforced carbon-fiber monocoque passenger compartment that weights at only 324 pounds (147 kg). Because of this advanced passenger cell, the Aventador is light, stiff and very strong. But when an accident happens to a Aventador on the road (or anywhere), how do you fix it? Well, you’ll have Lamborghini fly in a so-called flying doctor!

Armed with a suitcase of tools and an extensive knowledge of carbon fiber, the Lamborghini flying doctor is trained to mend fractured and sick Aventadors. In the States, the damaged supercar is sent to the University of Washington in Seattle. There, the flying doctor can fix any sections of shredded carbon fiber.

We can only imagine who expensive the process of shipping and repairing a 2012 Lamborghini Aventador will be. With a $379,000 price-tag, it has to be a bit more than the local body shop charges to pull out a dent.
