Lamborghini has showcased Telemetry X, an innovative ‘track connectivity’ concept that can be applied to the future range of super sports cars produced by the Italian manufacturer.
Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, commented: “Innovation is at the core of our DNA, as we have recently demonstrated with the Revuelto, a super sports car that is groundbreaking in every way, and the Lanzador fully-electric concept car. In the near future, our supercars will increasingly offer not just thrills but truly immersive driving experiences. Telemetry X is a perfect preview of the connected services our customers will be able to experience in the coming years.”
The introduction of the Huracán STO in 2020—the first Lamborghini super sports vehicle with a telemetry system that can be accessed through the Unica app—coincided with the usage of digital technology inspired by racing. Lamborghini envisions a future immersive track driving experience with Telemetry X, which is built upon the synergy of three technologies created in partnership with Accenture: the Digital Co-Pilot, the Biometric Data System, and the Real Time Remote Garage (remote coaching).
Rouven Mohr, Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer commented: “Telemetry X is a clear demonstration of how experience gained in motorsport can find applications for road-going super sports cars, with the aim of maximizing our customers’ experience on the track as well. It’s no coincidence that we chose the Revuelto as the testbed for this technological demonstrator, a car that is totally unique precisely because of the introduction of breakthrough technologies.”
Thanks to 5G technology, drivers can always access telemetry and real-time video records of their on-track performance with the Remote Garage online application. A coach, located anywhere in the globe, may view images and data in real time and provide feedback and ideas to the customer-driver both during and after the driving session. The goal of Remote Garage is to improve driver performance and offer a more comprehensive and captivating track experience, all while guaranteeing enjoyable driving through an approachable methodology.
The driver’s biometric data, such as their heart rate and stress level, is collected by the Biometric Data System, which enables more detailed performance monitoring and offers helpful resources for improving their training.
Together, the two technologies support the proactive Digital Co-Pilot voice assistant, which analyzes vehicle and biometric data to provide feedback to the pilot while they are driving on a racetrack. For instance, the Digital Co-Pilot evaluates lap times and offers helpful advice on how to improve braking and racing lines in addition to details on the car’s performance on the track.
