Breeding fighting bulls is a laborious process that results in a very special, brutally powerful animal, and the Welt Documentary Series on Youtube has just released an accounting of just how the latest Huracan EVO comes to be bred. The lengths that Lamborghini goes to are truly amazing and no matter how much you may personally love or hate the house of the Raging Bull, there are tons of new details we didn't know before.
Surprising Secrets
Over the years people have wondered more and more what separates a Lamborghini from the rest of the heard of supercars and hypercars. This well-made documentary demonstrates exactly why they're a breed of their own. It takes us behind the scenes of the factory tour experience and even into the Squadra Corse and Huracan GT3 programs.
Racecar DNA
For example, all Huracans, no matter if they're GT3, Squadra Corse, or road-going cars, are made on the same assembly line. On average 13 street-legal supercars are built each day with 6 more race cars being assembled over the course of the week. The 640 horsepower Hurcan EVO shares the same aluminum/carbon tub as the racecar as well. As the car runs down the assembly line, each station is given only 35 minutes before the car is moved onto the next station. That's pretty impressive when you consider that the car is assembled by hand with no robotics.
In addition, the documentary crew speaks with multiple employees from the chief designer to the quality control manager. The former of which talks about the unique-to-Lamborghini Gandini Line and how that's influenced the design of every one of their cars since the Miura. He goes on to discuss how the current cars also mimic the proportions of another dangerous animal, a shark. The latter employee points out a small flaw with one nearly finished car and speaks on how vital it is to the team that every Lamborghini leaves their factory as perfectly tailored as possible.
A Breed Apart
As a company, Lamborghini is in a golden age of sorts. 20 years ago the thought of a successfully mass-marketed Lamborghini SUV would've been laughable. The Welt documentary is proof that things are running on all 12 cylinders in the Lamborghini factory. That's good news too because at the end of the day no other company goes to the lengths that Lamborghini has to not only go very fast but also to inject emotion and eroticism into the lifeblood of their cars.
