The first Huracán EVO equipped with Alexa is on display at the Consumer Electronics Show here.
In the Huracán EVO, Lamborghini introduced a connected infotainment system with digital services for the first time on a super sports car.
It would be the first car maker to deliver in-car control via Alexa, allowing drivers to adjust functions such as climate, interior lighting and seat heating with a simple voice command, leaving the driver to focus on the road ahead.
Alexa will even be integrated into the LDVI dynamic set-up (Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata) on the four-wheel drive EVO, taking the Huracán EVO to a new level of voice-activation capabilities: place calls, get directions, play music and audiobooks, check news and weather, among others.
The Alexa integration also connects Lamborghini owners to the growing number of connected devices that work with Alexa.
With a simple voice interaction, drivers in the Huracán EVO can control everything from entry gates to thermostats and lights, directly from the vehicle. The first step in a strategic collaboration with Amazon, the specially enhanced Human Machine Interface (HMI) system will allow continuous updating of Alexa’s functionality within Lamborghini models, and paves the way for future cooperation between the two companies: both companies are working to develop further connectivity innovations and integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
“The Huracán EVO is an outstanding driver’s car, and connectivity enables our customers to focus on the driving, thus enhancing their Lamborghini experience,” said Lamborghini CEO Stefano Domenicali.
“Lamborghini is a future shaper, and this is the first time an automaker will deliver in-cabin car control through Amazon Alexa to bring together car controls as well as smart commands and Alexa’s standard capabilities.”
The V10 Huracán EVO Coupé and Spyder, launched in 2019, is Lamborghini’s latest generation of the four-wheel drive super sports car model.
With a new design for improved aerodynamics it is the first Lamborghini with predictive logic on vehicle dynamics control and features a fully-integrated Lamborghini Vehicle Dynamics Control System combined with all-wheel drive, and all-wheel steering, for redefined parameters of responsiveness, agility and easiness to drive.
The 5.2 litre V10 naturally aspirated engine from the Huracán EVO delivers 640hp at 8,000 rpm with 600Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. With a dry weight of 1,422kg the Huracán EVO reaches a weight-to-power ratio of 2.22 kg/hp, accelerates from 0-100kph in 2.9 seconds and from 0-200kph in 9.0 seconds. Braking from 100kph to 0 is achieved in just 31.9 m, with a top speed of more than 325kph.
A rear-wheel drive (RWD) Huracán EVO Coupé was announced earlier this month. First deliveries of the Huracán EVO RWD will start in spring 2020. The Alexa option will be available during the course of 2020 on the whole Huracán EVO family, including the RWD variant.
