There was a new phase of EV acceleration at the Monterey Car Week event.
The EV6 GT, a new performance trim that can travel from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds, was on display at the event. This isn't a hypercar or a sports car, but it's capable of leaving both types of vehicle in the dust
There is a scenario that puts car makers in a weird spot. According to the company's chief technology officer, Rouven Mohr, it's a spot that Lamborghini is aware of.
The sprint to highway speed is no longer a major goal because of EV powertrains. The Urus Performante is a luxury internal combustion engine SUV that is one tenth of a second faster than the EV6 GT.
Even if its EV plans are not completely settled, it is still taking a different tactic. The company has a history of making unexpected product moves.
There are a few brands in the automotive sector where you can do crazy things. The Countach is an example of an example. The Urus is another one. The SUV could have been a turning point for people. It has become the best-selling car of all time.
It has given Lamborghini a degree of freedom that other cars don't.
The company went from a pure numbers vehicle to a driver's car in the last 20 years. It is becoming a required position with the rise of electric vehicles.
There is a car that is boring. This isn't our intent. The goal is for the driver to jump out of the car and have a good time.
He said that the zero-to-60 battles don't impress him because it can make people sick. It's irrelevant to be honest.
The Urus performante is an example. The original Urus was not complained about being too slow. He contends that the focus should be on how the new variant of the SUV feels.
Power is free, more or less according to Mohr. Cars will be able to accelerate quickly at the expense of range in the future. The reactiveness of the car needs to be brought to the next level by the company.
The key to building EV supercars is the instant access to all four wheels, which is not possible in a gas powered vehicle. There are two examples of this type of engineering. It has to be higher than that for a car like that.
One such feature is theLamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata, which adjusts Torque and Steering based on traction and what the vehicle thinks the driver is trying to accomplish. As it is placed in electric vehicles, it will continue to change. In an electric vehicle, it will be able to react quickly.
There's a lot of potential, according to Mohr. In the next few years, I think this will open up a completely new field.
