Zircotec Coatings Used On Lamborghini Exhaust

The lightweight Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera is the latest Lamborghini to use Zircotec's advanced ceramic heat-resistant coatings on its tailpipe assemblies. Using a Diamond Black ceramic to keep heat inside the exhaust allows Lamborghini to adopt more lightweight composite bodywork that contributes to the 70kg weight saving. Developed specifically for Lamborghini, the Diamond Black ceramic is applied to the exhaust at temperatures over 12,000C using plasma spraying.

This process ensures that the ceramic is durable, offering an aesthetically pleasing finish that will outlast paint or untreated metals. The Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera follows the successful application of Zircotec's thermal barriers on the Reventon and Murcielago LP640 supercars, where the use of the coating delivered weight reductions through the removal of heatshields and added protection for the composites. For the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera, the coating allowed Lamborghini's designers to specify carbon fibre for the diffuser venturi and upper element that surrounds the quad tailpipe system.
