Lamborghini Unveils the 2020 Huracán EVO

Your car has more computing power than the Space Shuttle. It does this by a network of computers located throughout the cockpit. Lamborghini has just shocked the industry by changing this ancient method. The new Huracán EVO hit our inbox as a press release early this morning. Of course the engine is potent. The 5.2L V10 makes 640 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 443 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm. What good is an excellent engine without the ability to control that power? As each new system was added to the Gallardo and then to the Huracan, it meant more weight. Another computer and miles of wire were integrated into an already complex system. Almost every car computer communicates to each other on the Can-Bus. This antiquated system has limited bandwidth, and it chokes the speed of how each system responds. The biggest upgrade to the EVO is rear wheel steering. But instead of adding another computer to control it, the engineers made a bold move. Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI) is a centralized system. It starts with new accelerometers and gyros that are mounted at the car's center of gravity. Thankfully there was room between the seats for the new hardware, and it places the sensors dead-center on the car's Z-axis. Predicting the driver's input and the car's reaction was the main goal of LDVI. Under its control are new magnetic shocks, MagneRide 2.0 was licensed from GM to give the Huracan the same responsiveness as the Corvette and the Cadillac V-Series. The computer also handles torque vectoring, using 3 electronic differentials to send all power to one tire if needed. Rear steering is always in motion, adapting to lateral loads while cornering. Because this is a learning system, it will anticipate the driver's reactions while also remembering how much each tire will hold before it gives up. Of course, this is all dependent on which mode the driver selects, as the system responds differently in Strada, Sport, and Corsa modes. Styling has been sharpened inside and out. The lower & more aggressive body integrates a new front splitter, and an open rear grille. The titanium exhaust has moved up like most other supercars. This helps fill the vacuum made by the car at high speeds, limited drag in the process. Inside you will have a new 8.4" touchscreen. It has gesture control and multi-finger ability for quick navigation. The best new feature here is the dual-camera telemetry system. It records your laps along with data from all critical systems. All this is packaged in a car that weighs only 3,135 lbs. That is only 181 lbs more than the Gallardo Superleggera, one of the lightest Lamborghinis ever offered. So that is how it reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and 124 mph arrives in only 9 ticks. The top speed is well over 202 mph so it can stop from 62 mph in 105 feet. The new Huracan Evo is 90 lbs heavier than the Huracan Performante, but the incredible new suspension might give it an advantage in the corners.

Aston Valkyrie V12 (13)

By Andrew Nabors –  December 12, 2018

Aston Martin Valkyrie V12 Screams to 11,000 RPM and Horse...

In order to power their Valkyrie Hypercar, Aston Martin realized they needed help. If you want an F1 engine for the street, Cosworth is the only answer. In a press release this morning we've learned a few details of the new V12. Several goals were set before any parts were cast. The engine and transmission must be strong enough to support the suspension, essentially being part of the chassis. Ford & Cosworth Unveil Ken Block's Latest Ride Weight was also a concern, as V12 and light are not normally seen in the same sentence. Their goal was 200 kg, and it came in at 206 kg or 454 lbs. Even the best timing chains will stretch and explode above 9,000 rpm, so Cosworth went back to basics. The cams and accessories are driven by gears on the crankshaft. This old hot-rodder trick has been around since WW2 but they create harmonics in the top end at certain RPMs.  Hear the Aston Martin Valkyrie  Their solution was to simply raise the RPM, tuning them out by going faster. So the new 6.5-liter makes 1,000 horsepower at 10,500 rpm. Once the hybrid system is finalized we will be looking at one of the world's most powerful cars. Learn about the engine's development in the Carfection film below, and stay with us for all your Aston-Martin updates.  View All Aston Martin For Sale " width="680">

Battista high res

By Andrew Nabors –  December 11, 2018

Pininfarina Battista: The Fastest Italian Car

Pininfarina has been teasing a car codenamed the PF0 for some time, but we now know what it will be called. Introducing Pininfarina's new Battista hypercar, which they say will be the fastest Italian car, as well as the most powerful Italian car. That small logo on almost every classic Ferrari bears his name. Battista Farina was the baby among his father's eleven children, so he was given the nickname "Pinin" which means small or little. His older brothers worked in the family's coachbuilding business at the beginning of the 20th century. Their quality impressed a young Enzo Ferrari, who entrusted them with building his street-legal cars.  Enzo was a racer, he only cared about street cars as long as the funded his team "Scuderia Ferrari". Battista legally changed his last name to Pininfarina in 1963 to separate him and his business from the somewhat common Italian last name. And up until 2 years ago, almost every production Ferrari had his signature badge on the body.  Pininfarina Teases the PF0 Now that Pininfarina has embraced an electric future, they have been teasing an electric supercar. It has been 90 years since Battista founded his empire, so the name is perfect. The concept has been known as the PF0, noting it will have zero emissions. Thanks to a press release today we know it has a name worthy of 250 mph. Horsepower has been finalized at 1,900, along with 1,696 lb-ft of torque.  CEO Paolo Pininfarina said: This is genuinely a dream come true. My grandfather always had the vision that one day there would be a stand-alone range of Pininfarina-branded cars. This hypercar will boast world-beating performance, technological innovation and of course elegant styling. For me, we simply had to call it Battista. His dream becomes reality today as we link our glorious past with the future of motoring.” Also Check Out: Sultan of Brunei's Collection Lamborghini Urus For Sale
