Lamborghini engineers have discovered that Zircotec’s diamond black coating inhibits the radiation of heat from the surface of the material, in other words the coating hold the heat inside.

Zircotec is orginally developed for the nuculear industry to hold the radiation inside but apparenty it can also be applied in the car industry on components like exhausts, turbos and catalysts.

Applied to the coating it makes it creates an extremely hard and durable surface that is highly resistant to vibration, mechanical damage and thermal shock.

Lamborghini is looking for a durable solution that can protect the composite bodywork and components of the rear of the car as the paint finishes were not able to meet the stringent quality and durability requirements. The coating is plasma-sprayed and is offering better performance than any other solution.

Would that increase the price? Probably!
