MIT and Lamborghini, collaborated to build,
. . . Terzo Millenio,  a concept car,
. . . that aims to be self healing, and all electric.

The collaboration,
. . . is aiming to develop an innovative supercapacitor,
. . . to address a gap in the energy density possible with conventional batteries.
The electric system has been engineered to recover kinetic energy, and
. . . deliver substantial peaks of power.

The body - is the battery.
. . . One of the ways Lamborghini is exploring to improve the storage capacity of the vehicle,
. . . is to integrate the energy storing capacity,
. . . with the structure of the vehicle itself.

The body - is self healing.
. . . Another aim for the carbon fiber structure,
. . . is to put in place a health monitoring system,
. . . to detect cracks, and damages,
. . . to contain the spread of these cracks and damages.
