Recently, we learned from foreign media that Lamborghini is testing and developing a set of active wheel technology to improve the vehicle’s cornering performance and high-speed stability by adjusting the camber and toe angle of the vehicle’s rear wheels in real time. . The system is currently in the testing and development stage and may be adopted in the Huracán successor to be released next year.
Specifically, the new technical component consists of two rotatable flanges, which are connected to the vehicle’s axle shaft and wheels in two directions. The relative angle between the flanges is changed by rotation. One direction controls the camber angle and the other direction controls the toe angle. The internal 48V motor makes real-time adjustments. The entire system will be applied to the rear wheels of the vehicle.
For Lamborghini’s new technology, its working principle may not be so disruptive, but the difficulty lies in developing an operating system that can control everything quickly and accurately. It is reported that during the testing phase, vehicles equipped with this technology can improve the lap time of the New Nordschleife circuit by about 5 seconds. Not only that, by adjusting the inclination and toe angle, the vehicle can reduce tire wear during intense driving.
