00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,305

00:00:07,305 --> 00:00:08,850
ROBERTO BALDWIN: We
talked to Lamborghini

3
00:00:08,850 --> 00:00:12,060
about the Huracan Evo way
back at the Geneva Auto Show.

4
00:00:12,060 --> 00:00:13,620
Well, now we're going
to actually try it

5
00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:16,367
out with this new LDVI system.

6
00:00:16,367 --> 00:00:18,300
Now we're going to jump on the
track and see what happens.

7
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:23,570


8
00:00:23,570 --> 00:00:25,850
The way LDVI works,
according to Lamborghini,

9
00:00:25,850 --> 00:00:28,280
is that it actually
predicts how you drive.

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,220
Instead of reacting
to a situation,

11
00:00:31,220 --> 00:00:33,740
it uses information
from the grip,

12
00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:36,470
from the drive mode, the
way you're accelerating,

13
00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:38,540
the way you're
turning, everything

14
00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:42,200
about the car to suspension
and actually predicts

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,210
what is going to happen next.

16
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:46,400
We're going to try
it out on this track

17
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,540
and see how well it does.

18
00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:51,660


19
00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:53,820
Before Lamborghini set
me free on the track,

20
00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:56,340
they had me do a slalom
course and drive down

21
00:00:56,340 --> 00:00:58,650
one of the more challenging
turns of the track

22
00:00:58,650 --> 00:01:01,440
to get a feel for the
suspension and all-wheel drive

23
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,760
steering system.

24
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,000
Now the more I drive vehicles
with all-wheel steering,

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,330
the bigger fan I
become of the systems.

26
00:01:09,330 --> 00:01:10,650
Sure, it's weird at first.

27
00:01:10,650 --> 00:01:12,570
But around corners, it's great.

28
00:01:12,570 --> 00:01:15,540


29
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:20,490
While this car is a nice size
for me as a tall person, when

30
00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:22,470
I had to wear a helmet in
order to drive on the track,

31
00:01:22,470 --> 00:01:25,290
I actually sit in a
very odd position.

32
00:01:25,290 --> 00:01:27,780
Actually, my driving
forward was horrible.

33
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:31,560
But because of the LDVI
system and my bad form

34
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:32,940
around the track,
I could actually

35
00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:36,930
tell that the car actually
seemed to be predicting

36
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:39,330
how my driving would
commence and how

37
00:01:39,330 --> 00:01:40,790
I would go around corners.

38
00:01:40,790 --> 00:01:42,900
And a few times, I
felt it corrected

39
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:45,850
in real time my bad cornering.

40
00:01:45,850 --> 00:01:48,970
It is an impressive
system, and Lamborghini

41
00:01:48,970 --> 00:01:50,850
should be very proud of it.

42
00:01:50,850 --> 00:01:53,640
In addition to the LDVI
system, Lamborghini

43
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,690
also added a new infotainment
system to the Huracan Evo.

44
00:01:57,690 --> 00:02:00,980
While it's not as robust as the
system found in the oris, which

45
00:02:00,980 --> 00:02:04,500
is just a re-skinned
version of Audi's MMI,

46
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:06,690
it does follow the trend
of moving the climate

47
00:02:06,690 --> 00:02:08,580
controls to a touch screen.

48
00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:10,620
Now I wasn't able to
test the navigation

49
00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:12,270
since we were on a track.

50
00:02:12,270 --> 00:02:14,220
And my biggest
concern is how far

51
00:02:14,220 --> 00:02:18,000
down the center console it is
for turn-by-turn instructions.

52
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,790
Still, it has its charm,
including the ability

53
00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:24,270
to adjust the media volume
by just using two fingers,

54
00:02:24,270 --> 00:02:25,860
moving them up and
down on the screen.

55
00:02:25,860 --> 00:02:28,850


56
00:02:28,850 --> 00:02:30,530
Of course, you can't
talk about a supercar

57
00:02:30,530 --> 00:02:32,340
without dropping the specs.

58
00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:35,810
The Huracan Evo's
5.2 liter V10 engine

59
00:02:35,810 --> 00:02:38,610
pushes out a whopping
640 horsepower

60
00:02:38,610 --> 00:02:41,540
and 443 foot pounds of torque.

61
00:02:41,540 --> 00:02:45,710
That pushes it from 0
to 60 in 2.9 seconds.

62
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:48,920
Throw in that it has all-wheel
drive, all-wheel steering,

63
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:52,370
and the impressive LDVI
system that helps you drive

64
00:02:52,370 --> 00:02:55,790
a powerful beast like this
without being overbearing,

65
00:02:55,790 --> 00:02:57,920
and it's almost easy to
see why someone would

66
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:02,030
pay over $260,000 for
this supercomputer

67
00:03:02,030 --> 00:03:03,470
with a powerful engine.

68
00:03:03,470 --> 00:03:05,510
Of course, if they plan
on taking it on the track,

69
00:03:05,510 --> 00:03:08,270
they might want to make sure
they're shorter than six foot

70
00:03:08,270 --> 00:03:09,590
three inches.

71
00:03:09,590 --> 00:03:13,300
The Lamborghini Huracan Evo
well, I can't afford it.

72
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:15,200
And I'm assuming most
of you can't either.

73
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,840
But the technology that's
in this car right now,

74
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,570
the LDVI system,
eventually it'll

75
00:03:20,570 --> 00:03:23,300
work its way down into
regular passenger vehicles.

76
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:26,020
And when that happens, it's
going to be pretty great.

77
