Yahoo Autos See Photos of Lamborghini Testing Its New Active Wheel Hub Tech
Recently we visited Porsche's Nardò proving ground in southern Italy, where Lamborghini was testing its new Active Wheel Hub technology. on the 3.9-mile handling track. At this same location, we've piloted several new Lamborghinis for the first time (including the Revuelto, Urus Performante, Huracán Tecnica, and Huracán STO). Before trying it on the handling track, we got the chance to experience the difference the system makes on the vast steering pad. Click through for photos of the experience.
Lamborghini Huracán in Italy.
The new technology works exclusively on each of the Huracán prototype's rear wheels. Active toe control is, in essence, a rear-steering system.
Although the new tech is only for the back wheels, Lamborghini is already using twin-motor electric torque vectoring on the front wheels of the Revuelto and will likely use that on the Huracán replacement.
The Active Wheel Carrier can deliver up to 6.6 degrees of toe adjustment in either direction and between 2.5 degrees of positive and 5.5 degrees of negative camber. Both planes can be adjusted at the same time, and the electric motors can do this at up to 60 degrees a second.
With the Active Wheel Carrier switched on, the Huracán immediately feels more grippy and reactive, keener to change direction, but also much more stable when being pushed to the edge of adhesion.
