When a 100-meter swimmer dives into the water, every angle of his body, every plane of the shape he becomes, can mean a split second is won or lost – and equally the race. Like the super sports Lamborghini Temerario accelerating from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.7 seconds, two-time world champion swimmer Filippo Magnini commands maximum aerodynamic, or ‘hydrodynamic’ efficiency to be the best. “I have two objectives,” says Magnini. “I must produce the best technical competency and power: this is my style, giving me the best hydrodynamic performance.”
In the video, “Sculpted by Speed”, the velocity of a supreme sprint swimmer is everything, says Magnini. For him, the 100-meter distance is the benchmark for the fastest, most aerodynamic swimmers, like a super sports car defined by its zero-to-100 talent. “As in the development of Temerario, we seek the optimum dynamic profile to cut through the air or cut through the water: we want maximum velocity in our respective environments.”

00:00If we sum up the kilometers of all my training in these 30 years, I have done two and a half times the round of the earth.
00:12Swimming is not an easy sport, you can't say it's a swimming game, it's a performance sport.
00:20I have always thought of not having limits.
00:22My limits were perhaps my desire to push myself into the water, my dedication, my passion.
00:28Once there are all these elements, the limit does not exist.
00:37In 2005 I had a bad shoulder injury, an important injury, and the doctors told me that I had to stay still.
00:44I had to stay still for three months, but from that injury to two months there were the world championships.
00:50From then on I decided to move on, to deal with the pain.
00:53I suffered a lot in those months, but I served to get to the world championship with an inner strength superior to the others.
01:00I don't know if it was a coincidence, but I won that world championship.
01:04So, I was brave.
01:12In my opinion, there is a great parallelism between the brave and me.
01:15It is enough to think that the bravery has been studied in a perfect way to defend the air and be as aerodynamic as possible.
01:23In fact, in the water, my goal is to be very fast in a liquid that is much denser than the air.
01:30So, we both have to be as fast as possible, each in his environment.
01:45When I saw the Temerario, the first thing I thought was, how much I would like to have it in my garage.
01:56I thought, wow, wow, because Lamborghini always manages to come out with a new model, a new car,
02:03and being able to dream of driving it, trying it and having it, pushes me to give my best.
