Lamborghini says its first EV won't try to mimic the driving characteristics of an ICE-powered model
idea is to repurpose paddle shifters to tweak the amount of torque vectoring going on at the rear axle at any given time.
“In one of the driving modes, you can modify with the paddles the torque vectoring of the rear on the fly,” Mohr added. “So you’re driving in the corner, you pull the paddle, , you move torque from the inner side to the outer side. So you play with the yaw distribution. This is not possible in the combustion car.”
Mohr added that Lamborghini isn’t interested in trying to replicate the dynamics of an ICE car in an EV. Instead, the firm wants “to find something that’s the next step, that’s differentiating the driving behavior.” This could mean that the company won’t do as Hyundai has done with the, giving it a simulated eight-speed transmission with paddles and exhaust sounds produced by speakers.
“Our philosophy on the steering wheel is we have two layers,” Mohr noted. “Everything that is related to the driving experience is on the steering wheel. On this, we have two categories of manipulations. We have the dials that are influencing the setup of the car. And then with the paddles, we are thinking about functionalities that you can change the behavior in each corner several times because then you can really interact with the car in a different way.
