Lamborghini Takes Simulation by the Horns and Selects MSC.Software

SANTA ANA, Calif., Sept. 2, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MSC.Software (Nasdaq:MSCS),
the leading global provider of enterprise simulation solutions, including
simulation software and services, today announced that Italian world-leading
sports car manufacturer Lamborghini Automobili S.p.A. has selected
MSC.Software's simulation solutions including the Adams automotive product suite
to enhance their product development process. The new software capability will
bring enhanced reliability into the Lamborghini simulation process and allow
designers to increase the number of virtual prototypes to be performed,
especially in the early phases of the development cycle. By doing this,
engineers are able to simulate more reliably and reduce the need for physical
prototypes. The Simulation Technologies will be licensed under MSC.Software's
flexible Masterkey licensing system.

Lamborghini cars are known worldwide for their stunning performance in terms of
vehicle handling and engine power delivery. In order to achieve such outstanding
results, the research and development team in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy, where
the Lamborghini Headquarters are located, must take advantage of best-in-class
virtual prototyping software solutions to predict system performances in the
early design stage. To realize this scenario, Lamborghini has now enabled their
technical team full access to the broad range of Simulation Technology products
from MSC.Software.

"The Masterkey licensing system allows us to access the full MSC.Software
product portfolio, in particular, the Adams automotive product suite, such as
Adams/Car and Adams/Driveline. These products will help Lamborghini in building
virtual prototypes related to our future models, and to test them before
building the real prototype," said Fabrizio Montagnani, Coordinator of
Suspension Engineering and vehicle dynamic simulations, Lamborghini Research &
Development Group. "We will also be able to test our virtual prototype vehicles
in different working conditions, to try different design solutions and to
exchange sub-models with our suppliers using a standard simulation platform."

"I am proud that a world-respected company such as Lamborghini has chosen
MSC.Software's simulation solutions to further enhance the performance of their
sports cars," said Amir Mobayen, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales,
MSC.Software. "Lamborghini builds cars that combine the pleasure of driving with
a skilled understanding of modern technologies and engineering innovation.
High-performance automotive manufacturers like Lamborghini produce a limited
number of exclusive designs, and a reliable and highly cost-effective use of
simulation is critical to their commercial success. Thanks to the flexibility
offered by our MasterKey licensing system, such companies can meet their demands
for constant innovation and faster product development cycles, as well as ensure
high product quality."
