Lamborghini is basically a definition of luxury. The company was founded by an Italian guy, Ferruccio Lamborghini, who was highly interested in machinery. Considering he grew up on a farm, it's no surprise that his first venture under the Lamborghini brand was to build his own farming equipment.
He also owned the Ferrari 250 GT which he liked aside from its noisy engine. He then decided to make his own vehicles and produced cars that are now known as the poster child of luxury.
Lamborghini produces ultra-luxury vehicles with crazy characteristics. Their cars can go from 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds and have a top speed higher than 220 MPH. Nowadays the brand is owned by a German manufacturer Volkswagen.
Since the buyout, the company has been flourishing and offering new vehicles. It's time to meet the Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo.
15 New Exterior With The 1968 Marzal In Mind
The Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo got a couple of aerodynamic-enhancing features such as a large wing, hexagon-shaped windows, and recognizable Y-signature front and rear lights. The exterior was created with the 1968 Lamborghini Marzal in mind. An open-wheel design highlights vehicle's identity as a luxury sports car.
14 Main Controls On The Steering Wheel
Drivers enter the cabin like jet pilots – from the front of the vehicle. The main controls are located within the steering wheel. Driver information is right in front of you, so you can keep your eyes on the road. As the company representatives said about the controls, they "mirror Lamborghini's push on future technologies."
13 Improved Aerodynamics
Extreme aerodynamics plays a significant role here. One noticeable change regarding aerodynamics is an electric powertrain. It generates torque directly into the wheels and allows the body of the car to be shaped by the needs of aerodynamics. The company also kept the weight of the unsuspended mass under control.
12 Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 Powertrain
The Sián FKP 37 Powertrain is a fitting tribute for the new Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo. The company has yet to announce how much power the V12 can produce. However, the car should go from 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds and develop over 800 hp.
11 Innovative Lightweight Mild-Hybrid Architecture
This beauty comes with a lithium-ion supercapacitor. This supercapacitor is about 3 times more potent than a normal battery of the same weight. This is a low voltage 48V system that can reach current peaks of 600A and a power density of 2 400 W/kg. This system provides power and lightness at the same time.
10 Forged Composites Material
Lamborghini wanted to reduce weight and increase energy availability. They came up with the forged composites material and the system that continuously monitors the whole structure. The car has the ability to do its own health-checks. It can detect cracks and damages while limiting the risks correlated to the presence of the damage.
9 The Lamborghini Inertial Platform
The Lamborghini Inertial Platform is a unit with high-tech sensors integrated into the magnetorheological suspension system. It provides updates on the vertical car dynamics to the Integrated Vehicle Dynamics system.
It also detects suspicious movements in the car body and immediately adjusts configurations. The Platform works together with All-Wheel Steering systems and delivers precision handling.
8 The Lamborghini Dynamic Steering
The Lamborghini Dynamic Steering is a central processing unit that controls the car's dynamic behavior, integrates other dynamic systems and anticipates the next move. The result should be the perfect driving dynamics that are aligned with the needs of the driver. It means that fewer steering inputs are necessary to get the wheels turned in.
7 New Human-Machine Interface
The New Human-Machine interface allows you to control all driving dynamics, receive real-time notifications on traffic, manage entertainment functions and adapt the cockpit lights to the driving situation.
The system features Amazon Alexa In-Car Control. Lamborghini owners can be connected to all devices that work with Alexa and control them from their car.
6 Integrated Vehicle Dynamics
Integrated Vehicle Dynamics is the brain of the car. The system analyses the driver's behavior, the driving mode, and the external environment. Then it anticipates the needs of the driver. Based on these predictions, the unit controls every aspect of the car's dynamic behavior. This creates a highly responsive vehicle with a high level of control.
5 Electronic Power Steering System
Electronic Power Steering System uses an electric motor that gets energy from the electrical system and provides steering assistance. Sensors analyze the torque and then the computer decides how much assist is necessary. At low speeds, the steering is easy to turn. On high speeds, the effort amps up and gives the driver more control.
4 Improved Control Under All Driving Conditions
The car is electronically controlled in order to deliver high speed and precision in distributing the torque. This improves control under all driving conditions. Electric systems constantly adapt to the current driving mode. The result is better power transfer when accelerating during a sporty ride and improved traction during relaxed trips.
3 The ALA 2.0 System
The ALA 2.0 system manages the aerodynamic components of the car by using electronic actuators. The system changes aerodynamic load to achieve low drag in a straight line. The Lamborghini V12 Vision Gran Turismo delivers extraordinary driving experience thanks to the system. The company calls it "one of the secrets behind these exceptional performance feats."
2 Aero Torque Vectoring
Aero Torque Vectoring got an update to guarantee maximum performance of your Lamborghini. This is an aiding system that provides constant distribution of the torque between two axles. Combined with traction control, it governs longitudinal dynamics. The system is supervised by the Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Unit that analyzes driver's behavior.
1 Lamborghini Magnetorheological Suspension
Magnetorheological Suspension has no small moving parts. Instead, it's based on the magnetorheological fluid that reacts to a magnetic field. The new suspension smoothens wheel action and delivers a wide range of damping forces. Moreover, the magnetic liquid isn't affected by temperature. It doesn't change its properties even when it's really cold outside.
