Middle East, 31 March 2021 – Automobili Lamborghini is now enhancing the connected services offering in its Huracan EVO models from the beginning of 2021, comprising navigation, comfort, safety and entertainment functions. Lamborghini Connect adds new ‘peace of mind’ services through connection to the Lamborghini UNICA app: a car-finder function, vehicle status report and geofencing functions such as remote speed and valet alerts, join the existing in-car connected services related to Navigation and Entertainment. Remote updates for the Lamborghini Infotainment System (LIS) are now also available ‘over the air’.
Lamborghini is the first car manufacturer to incorporate comprehensive in-car control by Amazon Alexa. Web radio and Apple CarPlay, already available on the Huracan EVO, will be joined by Alexa and Android Auto on Huracan EVO 2021 models, specified with the ‘Smartphone Interface and Connected Services’ option. Drivers of the Huracan EVO can adjust in-car functions such as climate, lighting and seat heating, as well as control navigation, telephone calls and entertainment with a simple ‘Alexa’ voice command, leaving them to focus on the road.
Alexa will even be integrated within the LDVI (Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata) system in the four-wheel drive Huracán EVO. A simple voice command accesses real-time feedback on the Huracan EVO’s driving dynamics via the LIS screen, such as torque vectoring, Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS), and traction control.
The Alexa function will also allow Lamborghini owners to connect with other Alexa-enabled devices: with a voice command, drivers can control entry gates to home thermostats and lighting systems, directly from their Lamborghini. Lamborghini Connected makes it easy to update all Alexa functionality over time through periodic Over The Air software updates. The feature is available in most of Europe and North America where Alexa is available, with further markets from 2022.
Existing Huracan EVO owners can also enjoy enhanced connected services: all Lamborghini Connected features can be retro-fitted from mid-April free-of-charge to Huracan EVO models at authorized Lamborghini dealers, as well as optional upgrades. All connected features are subject to availability in individual markets.
Automobili Lamborghini’s strategic collaboration with Amazon will allow continuous updating of Alexa’s functionality within Lamborghini models, with both companies working to develop further connectivity innovations and integrations.
Track racing, competing, it's in my blood. It's part of me, it's part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else.
