Lamborghini distances itself from all those car manufacturers that in the name of “emotion” try to emulate the same on their high-performance electric models sound of heat engines. Let’s think of Hyundai, which decided to do this with the new Ioniq 5 N, creating a very divisive environment among enthusiasts. But as mentioned, not everyone follows this trend: Lamborghini, for example, she’s not interested to strategies of this type.
No to fake sound
While confirming that it is looking for new ways to ensure that its future electric vehicles arouse emotions in those who drive them, the house of Taurus through the mouth of its technical director Rouven Mohr he explained that technologically modifying the sound to make it resemble that of the iconic ICE engines is the wrong way to pursue this goal. “Emotionally minded automakers need to focus on different things in the electric world. Imitate the sound of ICE engines it’s not the right way“his words spoken on Top Gear.
Electric according to Lamborghini
Lamborghini’s technical director then stated that the goal is to build cars with the strongest connection between man and machine, while admitting that doing so with electric vehicles is more difficult even if not impossible. “We already have some interesting ideas – has explained – The emotions of future electric vehicles will not be generated by the type of engine or battery they use, these are just the enablers that unleash the performance and autonomy requirements. The character it is instead defined by other things. Within the next two years we will reveal our thoughts, which are something very far from what is simply the sprint time from 0 to 100 km/h. That’s not what generates fun.”
Something new, something cool
In a nutshell: Lamborghini needs to create something far from what already exists. “Our automotive sector must reinvent the attributes that define a car’s character – Mohr concluded – Step by step, new generations will develop a different interpretation of what is cool. There will come a point where young people no longer understand the appeal of a manual ICE sports car.”
