WEBVTT - Into the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to the first episode of Car Drivers

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Into Cars, a podcast from iHeartMedia's Ruby Studio, brought to

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>you by eBay Motors. I'm Tony ki Roger, the editor

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>in chief of Car and Driver, and I'm joined by

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>my co host, former editor in chief and current Chief

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Brand and Content Officer, Eddie Alterman, and together We're Into Cars.

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Each episode of this podcast covers a new car that

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 2>we think is worthy of your attention. The cars we

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 2>select may feature a novel design, cutting edge engineering, or

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 2>something entirely new. We'll cover the stories behind the cars,

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 2>answering the whys and exploring the whats to bring you

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 2>into the experience. We'll drive the things and let you

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 2>listen in, and then we'll sit down with the people

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>who actually made the cars to answer our questions about them.

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Come along for the ride and you'll hear it all

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:52.480
<v Speaker 2>the good, the bad, and the ugly and the way

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 2>that only Car and Driver delivers.

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>On today's episode, we're talking about Lamborghini's Urticon Strado. The

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Lamborghini Uricon Strato is version of the Uricon supercar that's

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.400
<v Speaker 1>designed to leave the asphalt and play in the dirt

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.479
<v Speaker 1>to get an Uricon. To do that, the suspension gets

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.119
<v Speaker 1>a lyft to increase ground clearance. It rides on special

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>all terrain tires made just for the Strato, and there

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>are a number of other changes that make it playful

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>on unpaved roads. It remains a mid engine beast for

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.559
<v Speaker 1>the six hundred two horsepower V ten, but unlike other Hurricans,

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>it prioritizes fun over racetrack lap times.

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is a crazy car. We've seen off road

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 2>versions of sports cars before, so called Safari versions of

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 2>nine to eleven's actually, you know, dating back to the

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 2>eighties and the original Parie to car races, those portion

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 2>nine to fifty threes and nine to fifty nine's and

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>the beautiful Rothman's Livery. I mean, that's what made me

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 2>want to start smoking, was those Rothman's Livery cars.

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>So this is not a new concept. It's coming from

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>an unexpected place. Despite their background in building tractors from

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>the beginning, Elmberginny also as the history of the L

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>two right, they also did some off road stuff, so

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>they know what the importance of being off road and

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>playing off road is all about. But making an Uricon

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>into an off roader was really I mean it's not

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>really an off roader, but like a car that's happy

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to go onto dirt roads and play like a rally car.

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Is I mean, at least for me, totally unexpected.

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 2>I blame the Dubai market, but it's pretty wild.

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you can just throw it into a dirt

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.519
<v Speaker 1>road and there's no guilt, And it has the fender

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>flares of like a Subaru outback, and it's got some

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>special tires too, which are pretty cool that allow it

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>to do that. And you know, there's not really that

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>much of a trade off on road because the limits

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>of the car are so high. The performance is so great,

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>it's almost impossible to use all that performance of a

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>standard Uricon on the road. So dialing it back just

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.799
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, you know, you're still driving a lot

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>faster than most cars can go.

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Tony, is there ever any guilt in this

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 2>line of work? A dealer of used exotic cars once

0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 2>told me the difference between a Ferrari owner and a

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Lamborghini owner is that the Ferrari owner will have had

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 2>a car in mind for ten years. And this is

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 2>a guy who's paid off his mortgage. Totally responsible citizen

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 2>takes out his recycling every Sunday and he's plotted in

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 2>schemed to get this car. He might have to buy

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>a couple Californias to get it, but he's got a plan.

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Whereas the Lamborghini guy fell into all this dough and

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 2>visa a Lamborghini the first one you can get, and

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>in eighteen months he's dead, broker in jail. So that's

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>sort of.

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>So it feeds a healthy market of lightly used Lamborghinis,

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess exactly.

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 2>So that's the brand differentiation. But I will say, you know,

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Lamborghini has become very professionalized in the time that Audi

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>has owned it.

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they've totally They've come such a long way.

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Ends and the Uricon is really a fully realized lineup.

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's four of them. It starts with the Technica,

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 2>then you've got the Evo Spider, then you have this Strato.

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm going kind of in ascending order of price, and

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 2>at the top you have the Sto and all except

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 2>the Strato makes six hundred and thirty one horsepower. The Strato,

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>because of some of the air and take stuff, only

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 2>makes six hundred and two only. Oh that's funny, funny

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 2>for my purposes.

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I mean the tires also limited to just

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>over one hundred and sixty miles an hour because they're

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.839
<v Speaker 1>just that's how fast you can go apparently on all

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:28.679
<v Speaker 1>terrain tires.

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>And these are super cool Alterarin tires. They're bridge stones.

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:34.919
<v Speaker 1>They weren't that far off. I mean in terms of grip.

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>Most of the oroicons were tests that are one point

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 1>one g somewhere in there, and this was at point

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.600
<v Speaker 1>ninety six. So it's not even that much off of that,

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and that's more grip than you can probably comfortably use

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>on the road. So why do you think they're building

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 1>this car? Starrato means dirt road, Yeah, right, So why

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>do you think they're building this thing? I guess because

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>it's fun. I mean it also increases the We've often

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.719
<v Speaker 1>talked about this like the bandwidth of cars. It increases

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.839
<v Speaker 1>the band with this car, like you can drive it

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>as a daily driver, and the rides better. You've got

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>more ground clearance, you don't have to worry about when

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:08.719
<v Speaker 1>you're going in and out of driveways, when you're going

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, in and out of a gas station or something.

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to worry about the taking it at

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.359
<v Speaker 1>just the perfect angle. There's less to worry about with

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>this car, and that makes it a more pleasant car

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 1>to drive on a daily basis, even though you give

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>up some performance on the top, but that's performance that

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>you're probably just going to use on a racetrack anyway.

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>So as a road car, this is probably the best Oricon.

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>It's funny, it's like this is the craziest one. It

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>looks totally bizarre, you know.

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.799
<v Speaker 2>It looks like a cross between one of those Liberty

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Walk lambows and like one of the Angry Birds pigs,

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, with those little led lights on the front.

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>There's some super u there's some super in there for sure.

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Out back wilderness. Yeah yeah, but in many ways it's

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 2>the sanest one because roads are terrible in this country.

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 2>It definitely improves the ride, and like you said, it's

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of a more rugged supercar for this modern world.

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 1>And looks wise, you don't give up anything because it's

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>still an uricon underneath. Sound Wise, you don't give up anything,

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 1>so the experience is almost exactly the same. You just

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>don't have those really really high limits of grip from

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:09.799
<v Speaker 1>the other tires.

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but when are you really use it? When you're

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>ever going to exercise that. There's so much built and

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.359
<v Speaker 2>capability in these cars and it's just perceived performance. Like,

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.279
<v Speaker 2>no Lambeau driver is ever going to chuck this thing

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 2>into a turn and feel the point ninety six geese.

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 2>They might feel it briefly before the tree arrived, before

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 2>the tree arived, right yeah, I mean so it's all

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of largely theoretical.

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's also the last V ten. It's the last

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>ten on the market. There's no other V tens.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.359
<v Speaker 2>This is the sendoff naturally aspirated five point two liters

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.159
<v Speaker 2>V ten. What an awesome thing it is. I mean, man,

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.239
<v Speaker 2>they're all going away. Everything is turbo charged. Now everything

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>is downsized or electrified, So you lose that linearity of

0:06:56.040 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 2>the powertrain, you lose that super high character VT all

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 2>that intake noise, I know, you lose so much of that,

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and and the exhaust too, exactly.

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>It's special. It feels like the last of something. And

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the Serrato is kind of Lamborghini's exclamation point on the

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Uricon brand, like we sort of did this model. It

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>was spectacular, and now we're doing this really silly, crazy

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>thing that turns out works really well on road.

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 2>It's like the best one. Yeah, it's a I mean

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 2>a decade long run for the Uricon. That's amazing, because

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 2>supercars sort of age quickly, you know, they have a

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 2>quick sort of cell by date. But Lamborghini has done

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 2>a good job of keeping new versions, coming new variants.

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>And keeping it relevant, just tweaking the style a little,

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>because I mean, if you see a Lamborghini on the road,

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I still get a little weak in the knees like that.

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>That's completely like flat body basically. I mean, it's still

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>following the wedge plan from the late sixties early seventies

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 1>what a supercar looks like, and it still works.

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 2>The Miura, you know, it's still I think the most

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 2>beautiful supercar of all time, transverse twelve cylinder in the

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 2>middle of the car, and it's so low and just

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 2>extreme looking. And then obviously the Kuntash that filed after it.

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, Kuntash meaning holy shit in Italian or thereabouts.

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 2>And that's what these cars are supposed to do. They're

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 2>supposed to like grab you by the scruff of the neck.

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, you pay attention to Lamborghini's and you

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 1>certainly pay attention to this one. Yeah, it's a spectacular car.

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>It gets a ton of attention on the road too.

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 1>And this one's orange. This one's orange and it has

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>stripes on it. Are those strictly necessary? The stripes? Oh yeah,

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>you gotta have the stripes. You gotta have this. It's

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>got a sixty three on the on the hood too,

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>which commemorates the founding year of Lamborghini. It's not a

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>race thing at all, it's just it's.

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Just starting now. I mean, they do get your attention.

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:46.319
<v Speaker 2>They've stayed with that sort of angular stealth fighter styling,

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.680
<v Speaker 2>and I think they've evolved it in a cool way.

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.679
<v Speaker 2>There's a tremendous amount of visual interest in this car.

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 2>I don'd love to go look at it.

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's go take a look.

0:08:54.360 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Cool okay, man, I mean look at this thing.

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>It's wild. What is this color?

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.200
<v Speaker 2>This color is Aurancio Sampto.

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I think you might be able to get this on

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a cross track. I don't know. It won't look it

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>won't look like this good. It's got to realize glow

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>to it. But I think this is a cross track call.

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>It's Xanthem orange.

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 2>That cost that's only fourteen thousand dollars Okay, the options

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 2>on this car are insane. I mean the starting price

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>without destination delivery, which is two seventy three one seven

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.960
<v Speaker 2>seven on this one, I mean on the Stato this

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:39.079
<v Speaker 2>one is three hundred and eighty four thousand, three hundred

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 2>and ninety four dollars, so over one hundred thousand options

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 2>and for that you get a whole lot of bullshit.

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 2>You get okay, you get the delivery. The stripes on

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 2>the front.

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, those are painted in, which is pretty nice.

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but is it seventeen thousand dollars?

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I mean they probably had the

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:56.680
<v Speaker 1>special painteds.

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the visual impact of this car is undeniable.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 2>You've got these big fender flares, you got the LED

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:04.679
<v Speaker 2>lights in.

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Front, you have this roof rack when the tires look

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.679
<v Speaker 1>real knobby, I mean the wheels are I think the

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>wheels are a size down on the regular Uricon. Just

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to give you a little bit more sidewall.

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a forty series tire front and back, a

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 2>bridge stone.

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Dueler yeah to tire I got.

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the whole impression is sort of like a

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.199
<v Speaker 2>cop car for Mars.

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it does. It does have that vibe too, it

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't it.

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 2>And look there's a snorkel at the front.

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, the snorkels borrow from the sto And I

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>guess the story is, you know, the air intakes on

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 1>the regular oricon are too low, so it might take

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>in too much dirt or gravel or water. The downside

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>is you can't see out the back of this thing,

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 1>like directly behind you. You can't see out the rear

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 1>view mirror. Is there a camera or no, there's no car,

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>so you're just on your side view mirrors only. Oh great,

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.439
<v Speaker 1>Well it's that old Italian race car driver saying, you

0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 1>know what's behind me doesn't matter. That's right.

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.640
<v Speaker 2>No one's gonna catch up with this thing. But I mean,

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.680
<v Speaker 2>I really have. I'm having a problem with the the

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 2>stripes for seventeen grand. I don't think they add much

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 2>to it visually. In fact, I think they make it

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 2>look a little more kick Carl like.

0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>And the sixty three. What does that cost Eddie? The

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>sixty three?

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 2>I believe that is seven No, that's yeah, that's seventy

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 2>seventy four hundreds for that little piece of paint. Additional

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:24.119
<v Speaker 2>lights on front twenty six hundred smartphone interface.

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, they don't get that standard No. Thirty two

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.679
<v Speaker 1>in basically every car for sale.

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Right, a Nissan Versa.

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Those floor mats in aluminum, fourteen hundred dollars. Okay, that's

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>totally worth it.

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Dark chrome and carbon what is that just dark chrome

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:41.359
<v Speaker 2>and carbon dashboard?

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it must be yeah.

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh, the fire extinguis sure. Guess how much that is?

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Two hundred, three hundred dollars.

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Nine hundred dollars. You know, I did the Lamborghini factor

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 2>in there, right, So they take one from the Italian

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:56.439
<v Speaker 2>home depot.

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.959
<v Speaker 1>And the Lamborghini sticker on it presumably.

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then charge ten times you'd pay there. So

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.359
<v Speaker 2>that's your three hundred and eighty five thousand dollars Lamborghini

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 2>right there.

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean it looks lifted. I mean you can tell

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the one point seven inches of ride height that this

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 1>has over the standard car. You can really tell that

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 1>that's there. Yeah, definitely, But it doesn't detract from the style.

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>It still looks still looks really cool, and it's still

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>ridiculous as low.

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 2>And you know what's kind of cool about these fender

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 2>additional pieces is they sort of minimize the rear height

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.440
<v Speaker 2>of the car visually, it just kind of shrinks it

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 2>all down. And in mid engine cars, that sort of

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:37.520
<v Speaker 2>section or area between the tail edge of the door

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.319
<v Speaker 2>and the rear wheel can look really big.

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Piece and they're going to minimize that there. I think

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 1>that's what the Aztec designers, So that's what they claimed

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:46.320
<v Speaker 1>about the cladding.

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 2>That was for the mid engine as Yes.

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Right of course it almost made it as a production

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and just Pontiac went out of.

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.439
<v Speaker 2>Business and from the back hotly smokes. I mean, look

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.319
<v Speaker 2>at this with the exhaust shooting out the back, minimizing

0:12:58.400 --> 0:12:59.840
<v Speaker 2>the length of the runners.

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 1>If you pop the engine compartment lid, Lamborghini still puts

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:04.959
<v Speaker 1>on a show for the engine. Yeah, and it still

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>looks spectacular. It's not blocked by anything. There's no big

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.920
<v Speaker 1>plastic shroud covering it. You just have the intake runners there,

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 1>it says Lamborghini.

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Right, and it's fed through the top through that snorkel.

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The ride height just makes it so that you

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 1>can drive this car, you know, up a driveway, perfect,

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 1>you can drive it in snow. This is the four

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>season Lamborghini.

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Car, right, take it anywhere and the vacation.

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean the tires, the all season tread powdern it

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.400
<v Speaker 1>doesn't good, it looks, and they're going to last a

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 1>lot longer than any other Lamborghini to that's true.

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 2>The only thing is, I mean, how much room is

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 2>there in the front for not a lot. That's a backpack. Yeah,

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 2>that's like a notebook. Yeah that's small.

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is such a cool concept. I hope

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Lamborghini puts it on the rest of their cars.

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.319
<v Speaker 2>My little the Eurus is begging, URIs is begging for

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 2>it right there.

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.839
<v Speaker 1>Off roader needs to be a Strato style off roader,

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>and that additional width really Yeah, they increase the front

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>track and the your track. Yeah, fender flares are always

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 1>a win.

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I agree, But I'm a chatt of the eighties exactly. Okay, well,

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 2>let's get.

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>In and drive it. Yeah, let's do it.

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, let's squeeze it myself.

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Endo, this.

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Can't fire it up? Yeah? Okay, all right, Tony, can

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 2>you believe that we're getting paid right now? We're on

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 2>the breging clock and now we're.

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>At the ten best routes where we do many of

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 1>our vehicle handling value.

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Ready to properly exercise it. Take this thing through the

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Chubba chetta checkane, that's.

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Right, okay, the world famous, Right, let's do it. Oh yeah,

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that sounds so sounds pretty good.

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 3>Holy shit, Oh my god, dude, oh my god.

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. You don't lose much acceleration versus the regular oricon

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the engine response is there, is there and

0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 1>around You're like, how is this a supercar?

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>And then you get in You're like, oh, okay, that's

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 2>a supercar. You just have to make sure that we

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>don't get arrested.

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 4>So the handling limits are still high enough for.

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Public road driving. You can still go incredibly fast, but

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 1>you're still well within the limits of the car.

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 2>It just does not beat you up. And this sort

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 2>of poses an existential question. Is it really a Lamborghini

0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 2>if it doesn't make you suffer, if.

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>There's no abuse to it? Yeah, I mean because the

0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>kutash amazing car, beautiful car, important car historically, but it's

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 1>probably not something you always want to drive. You're probably

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty relieved when you step out of it. And is

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that bit of pain? I mean, I guess that ours

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 1>is a pain free Lamborghini. But then people have questioned

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>it's Lamborghini as too.

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:10.560
<v Speaker 2>It's moving around. Chassis is communicating beautifully with you. The

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 2>steering is actually you know, look it's not hydraulic assists.

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 1>But it feels good. I mean, but it feels really good. Yeah,

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it feels as good as any car on

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the market today. There's nothing like that engine sound, naturally

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 1>aspirated V ten engine sound. It's just it's otherworldly. Let's

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>hear it a little bit and it reps to eighty

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>five hundred rpm, all five point two liters of it.

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Switch it to sport mode and that opens up the

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>exhaust valve, so it's even louder. Oh nice, Okay, So.

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 2>We have three modes strata which means straight right, sport,

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 2>which is sport.

0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 1>And then that dials in addition to making the car

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 1>a little louder, it dials back the stability control and

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>then puts a more aggressive shifting strategy for the automatic,

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 1>for the dual fletch automatic. And then you've got rally yes,

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>which is for the dirt. Oh it's okay, we'll save that.

0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:06.400
<v Speaker 1>That has its own special stability control programming which accounts for,

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, the slipperiness of a gravel road, so you

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 1>can do some rally stuff. But still have a safety

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.960
<v Speaker 1>net to catch you before you go flying off.

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean the interior is really great in this thing.

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I spacious too, Yeah, like there's tons of foot room. Yeah,

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 1>this is totally comfortable. It looks great.

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 2>You've got alcantara over everything.

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, beautiful, worst.

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Stitching, it's really cool.

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's a hundred. Let's not.

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Anger the locals here.

0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Under kilometers already clear, Yeah, of course, totally legal.

0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.480
<v Speaker 2>And you know you're sort of tempted to go faster

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:04.439
<v Speaker 2>in this thing because of all the ride compliance. You're

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.920
<v Speaker 2>not really worried about how much it's gonna wreck the car.

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, very true, and I'm sure that's true on dirt roads. Well,

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:21.240
<v Speaker 1>let's find one. This is our street. Yeah, okay, I

0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to drive. Okay, let's do a swap here.

0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna set it up for your tone, put it

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:30.040
<v Speaker 2>in rally mode.

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Excellent, and uh not even gonna turn it off. All right. Well,

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:42.960
<v Speaker 1>thanks for giving up the wheel, Eddie.

0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Well it was tough to do, but for you anything,

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 2>it didn't take that much convincing.

0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:50.720
<v Speaker 1>So here you are on a little dirt road off

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>of the ten bus loop. Okay, now, Tonyang. The ride,

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:59.640
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy, It's like it's shocking. And also I feel well,

0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:01.399
<v Speaker 1>I feel a little bit of guilt, but I feel

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot less guilt than if I was driving an

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Uricon down this road.

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:10.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, you definitely need the uh, the plastic protective film.

0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 2>There's a good corner up here. It will be sluet sideways.

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.399
<v Speaker 2>In the grand tradition of rally car driving.

0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I we'll see what we can do up here. Oh yeah, yeah,

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of, lets you catch it. That's awesome.

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Did these that pothole right in the middle of the

0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.200
<v Speaker 2>cars just it just doesn't care, doesn't care.

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Wow, this is so amazing. Yeah, they all oil drive

0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:47.720
<v Speaker 1>just makes like no problem, and the altering tires just

0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 1>work beautifully on this.

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 2>And it just so expands the performance envelope of the

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:53.199
<v Speaker 2>con you know.

0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I wonder how many of the they're making

0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.400
<v Speaker 1>fourteen hundred and ninety nine of these fourteen how many

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 1>owners will actually drive them on a dirt road with

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of anger. I wonder they're missing out

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:12.399
<v Speaker 1>if they don't. I know, that's the whole point. Great

0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:15.840
<v Speaker 1>side slide.

0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean you were looking through the side windows there

0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:20.639
<v Speaker 2>to go straight, but it's so for I mean.

0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 4>It's just it slides so easily and happily. Oh gently.

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Fortunately there aren't as many corners as we'd like to. Oh,

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:33.240
<v Speaker 1>look at the plume of dust coming out. Amazing. Be

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:35.640
<v Speaker 1>interesting to see what Lamborghini does to as a follow

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:39.000
<v Speaker 1>up to the Hurrican. It's supposed to be coming later

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:43.520
<v Speaker 1>this year. Yeah, I mean it'll have some sort of

0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>electrification to it, right as in a hybrid, sort of

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 1>performance hybrid way. But it remains to be seen if

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 1>it'll look as good, if it'll drive this well.

0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:57.439
<v Speaker 2>This is a real high point for the brand. I

0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 2>think this car lasted so long because it was so good.

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.000
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, it's time is run out.

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is a nice sendoff. They save the best

0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:08.080
<v Speaker 1>for last. Yeah, I agree.

0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Hey did he know that you can sink your Apple

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Watch to this car?

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:15.120
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't have an Apple Watch.

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:19.160
<v Speaker 2>And it'll give you a heart rate information, so if

0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:22.640
<v Speaker 2>you have a cardiac in farnction, it'll tell you.

0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, it'll be due to the car. No entirely possible.

0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh man, this thing just loves to drift so good,

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:30.120
<v Speaker 4>so good.

0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 1>It wants to go sideways. The steering is really nice.

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's it's not exactly a light car. No,

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 1>it's like.

0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Thirty six twenty nine. I think this one is, but

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 2>sure feels light on its feet.

0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:50.159
<v Speaker 1>And I let to point out that we wait that

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:54.880
<v Speaker 1>because Lamborghini will put out these ridiculous dry numbers where

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.399
<v Speaker 1>like it's like with the car ways on the Moon

0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.000
<v Speaker 1>on the second Tuesday of every month with no fluids

0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 1>in it, and we actually weigh the cars. We fill

0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.199
<v Speaker 1>them up with gas and we weigh them so we

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.200
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what they weigh, so we could see through

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 1>their bs. We're back on the asphalt. Now, excellent, I'll

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:18.119
<v Speaker 1>take a couple of corners and see what this is like. Cool.

0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's just hear that.

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 4>Engine when we're time. Damn so good.

0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 1>The revs just built so quickly. The engine is just

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 1>completely unfazed by this car, Like zero effect on this thing.

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:39.120
<v Speaker 1>It's almost like an electric car. But sounds like that.

0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:52.919
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, the last of the V tens.

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Long may it run? All right, let's pull over before

0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:00.639
<v Speaker 1>we get into any trouble.

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, sounds good. Yeah, we got away with our dignity

0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:05.080
<v Speaker 2>and our lives.

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:09.119
<v Speaker 1>That was fun. This is really fun. Great great Cardinally

0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:15.320
<v Speaker 1>four hundred. Would you buy one? I would buy one.

0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, that was amazing.

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm pretty sure that chopper that we saw was

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 1>not related to what we did. I hope not.

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 2>After the break, we'll be speaking with Lamborghini's chief technical officer,

0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Reuven Moore. He's the guy who signs off on these cars,

0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and he has a lot of cool things to say

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 2>about this one. Stay tuned, Welcome back to Car and

0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Drivers into Cars. Now we're sitting down with Lamborghini's chief

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 2>technical officer, Reuven Moore. Hi, Ruvin, thanks so much for

0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:57.879
<v Speaker 2>joining us. We want to talk a little bit about

0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 2>the Urkan Strado as a sendoff for this incredible run

0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:06.680
<v Speaker 2>of V ten powered sports cars. Why did you decide

0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:09.960
<v Speaker 2>to go with sort of an off road rally inspired

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:13.399
<v Speaker 2>version as the last version of Urakan instead of an

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:14.880
<v Speaker 2>ultimate high performance car.

0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:18.560
<v Speaker 6>First of all, let me answer in a more let

0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:22.680
<v Speaker 6>me say, general way. Lamborghini was in the past always

0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 6>surprising the people, and therefore it fits perfectly general approach.

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:31.440
<v Speaker 6>But I can also give you a little bit insights

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:35.240
<v Speaker 6>about the basic idea of the Huracan Sterrato because it

0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 6>was born really let me say, some years ago the idea.

0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:41.639
<v Speaker 6>We recognized that the Urus is the most fun to

0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 6>drive on crevel road, how incredible it could be to

0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:48.640
<v Speaker 6>have cars in these conditions. We were very in love

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:52.199
<v Speaker 6>with the old rally era, so also about cars like

0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 6>the Lanchestrados. We were so excited about the outcome that

0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:58.280
<v Speaker 6>we said, okay, but we have to bring this also

0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:01.359
<v Speaker 6>to the market. So this was like the idea was born.

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 6>Now coming finally back to your original question, from my

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:09.199
<v Speaker 6>point of view, it's also fitting perfectly as the last

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:13.159
<v Speaker 6>version of our fantastic history of let me say of

0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:17.240
<v Speaker 6>the whole because it's the sense of driving fun, not

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:20.840
<v Speaker 6>only on the racetrack and from the pure performance point

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:23.840
<v Speaker 6>of view, but driving fun also in the sense of

0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:29.480
<v Speaker 6>playful character, achievable performance. Still a very fast car, but

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:33.680
<v Speaker 6>a very playful car. For my vision, Lumbo is not

0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:38.800
<v Speaker 6>only about the pure performance. Lumbo is always about driver excitement,

0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 6>driver involvement and the best in glass driving experience.

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:46.919
<v Speaker 1>Do you foresee a rally or a Strato version becoming

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 1>a normal thing in either the Urakan successor lineup or

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:52.879
<v Speaker 1>in the Rivolto's lineup? I mean, this is this something that

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Lamborghini wants to continue pursuing in the future.

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:58.399
<v Speaker 6>I'm not saying that it's for sure never coming this.

0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:01.920
<v Speaker 6>I would also not exclude I can exclude that it's

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 6>a part of the standard line up, like performance oriented version,

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:07.960
<v Speaker 6>because as I said, it's always a little bit about

0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:11.960
<v Speaker 6>surprising the people doing something different that the others are

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:15.159
<v Speaker 6>not doing. More from the technical point of view, it

0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:18.200
<v Speaker 6>has to fit also to the character of the basic car.

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:21.359
<v Speaker 6>If you have driven it, it's really like a clove

0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:24.280
<v Speaker 6>that is fitting to you and enables also to have

0:26:24.359 --> 0:26:27.199
<v Speaker 6>really driving fun, not only the racetrack but also in

0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 6>the mountain road or something. And this is not possible

0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:31.680
<v Speaker 6>with every car concept.

0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Were there any internal fights to get this car made,

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 1>that's to say, were there any people within the company

0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:40.639
<v Speaker 1>that could not understand why you would want to make

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:46.560
<v Speaker 1>an Urcan into an Urcan s Dorado. No, so unanimous.

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:48.720
<v Speaker 1>It was a unanimous everybody got it right after bat

0:26:48.880 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 1>for sure.

0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:52.199
<v Speaker 6>If you do it via PowerPoint, sometimes it's hard to

0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:55.919
<v Speaker 6>transport this kind of message, but we speak about emotions,

0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 6>and emotions you cannot describe on the PowerPoint. But if

0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:03.880
<v Speaker 6>you bring all the relevant people, marketing colleagues, stakeholder does

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:06.240
<v Speaker 6>all the decision. Make us to the car, you can

0:27:06.280 --> 0:27:08.880
<v Speaker 6>feel it, and therefore everyone was convinced.

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 2>After this experience, I know another member of the group

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:16.119
<v Speaker 2>does a similar car, the portion nine to eleven DA car,

0:27:16.520 --> 0:27:18.399
<v Speaker 2>and I was wondering if there was any sort of

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 2>cross pollination there between the teams. Did you call on Porsche?

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:23.560
<v Speaker 2>It all for any expertise.

0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:27.240
<v Speaker 6>To be honest, it was really one a percent only

0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 6>by chance to pick. The cars were developed more or

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:32.760
<v Speaker 6>less at the same time and also presented to the market.

0:27:32.760 --> 0:27:35.399
<v Speaker 6>I think with the time difference one month or something

0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:38.920
<v Speaker 6>like this, but this was not blend during the development.

0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:42.360
<v Speaker 6>There was also not a real exchange. For sure, we're

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:45.359
<v Speaker 6>always in contact with the colleagues within the volks One group,

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 6>exchanging expertise and competence, but regarding the specific application, the

0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 6>specific setup of the car, there was not an exchange

0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:59.000
<v Speaker 6>because our Straato project was a kind of undercover project.

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:01.879
<v Speaker 6>It was not starting with the idea that was coming

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:04.840
<v Speaker 6>as a request from the market, because this was a

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:08.080
<v Speaker 6>kind of anticipation of something that could be cool. But

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:11.199
<v Speaker 6>if you drive both cars, you will confirm that the

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:14.040
<v Speaker 6>character of the cars is still different enough.

0:28:14.720 --> 0:28:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Ruven, is there a particular part of the Stato, which

0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:20.359
<v Speaker 1>you're particularly proud, Like every time you see it, touch it,

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:22.840
<v Speaker 1>use it, you're like, wow, yes, I'm so glad that

0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:23.360
<v Speaker 1>that got in.

0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:26.959
<v Speaker 6>What I really like is that we were able to

0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 6>industrialize our basic idea because there were some challenges regarding

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:35.639
<v Speaker 6>the tire. Development did really a super good job to

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:39.240
<v Speaker 6>bring a tire on the market that was before simply

0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:42.400
<v Speaker 6>not available. The car is still fast on a standard track,

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:45.760
<v Speaker 6>is still let me say, very easy to control. You

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 6>have also grip services. That we were able really to

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:53.719
<v Speaker 6>transfer the basic idea to the serious production car. This

0:28:53.880 --> 0:28:56.280
<v Speaker 6>is something I'm super proud because the car is not

0:28:56.360 --> 0:28:59.840
<v Speaker 6>the show off case like some people might think that

0:29:00.000 --> 0:29:02.360
<v Speaker 6>I ever driven the car, because the car is much

0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 6>more about additional over fenders or a little bit off style,

0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:09.080
<v Speaker 6>the off road style and all the things they were

0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 6>coming later. The first thing was really the driveability, the

0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 6>different setup philosophy, the different talk distribution, and all the

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 6>dynamics that I'm making this car so exciting.

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely, and our testing. I think it's the only

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:25.840
<v Speaker 1>all terrain tire that's even gotten close to a G

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and they go one hundred and sixty miles an hour.

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:30.800
<v Speaker 2>So what are you driving every day? Reuven? What is

0:29:30.840 --> 0:29:32.440
<v Speaker 2>your daily driver? Lamborghini.

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:35.160
<v Speaker 6>One nice part of my job is that I have

0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 6>a lot of opportunities to drive our of a tastic product.

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 6>So I'm trying to drive not every day. It's also wrong,

0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:45.080
<v Speaker 6>but I'm driving a lot of different cars, you know,

0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:47.680
<v Speaker 6>because for me it's part of my job also to

0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 6>have an understanding about all our product range. So starting

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:54.320
<v Speaker 6>from the Urus, but also Steato. The last car I

0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:56.640
<v Speaker 6>was driving to the airport was a Strato by the way,

0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 6>but also some competitor cars because it's that I have

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 6>also the personal feeding, the personal touching point about the

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:08.719
<v Speaker 6>driveability of our competitors. This is part of being professional

0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:10.760
<v Speaker 6>and also understanding what is going around.

0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:13.840
<v Speaker 2>How big of a bag could you fit into the Strata?

0:30:15.720 --> 0:30:18.920
<v Speaker 6>It was at least sufficient for my cabin trolley that

0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:22.560
<v Speaker 6>I needed for this trip to US. And also this

0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:23.800
<v Speaker 6>was in this case.

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Enough Okay, international travel, it's possible. In the Stererrado.

0:30:27.800 --> 0:30:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you mentioned all the Lamborghini automobiles you've driven, So

0:30:31.160 --> 0:30:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I've got to ask Mura or Kuntash or you're a

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Mura person or you a Kuntash person.

0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:38.800
<v Speaker 6>Even if some people now will hate me, but definitively

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:39.520
<v Speaker 6>the Coon.

0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Touch excellent, that's the answer I would give.

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:48.240
<v Speaker 6>But to be honest, I mean, since I was born

0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:53.000
<v Speaker 6>seventy nine, so my favorite automotive that influenced me when

0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:55.880
<v Speaker 6>I was young is for sure the late eighties early nineties,

0:30:55.920 --> 0:30:58.920
<v Speaker 6>I have to say. So therefore the coon Touch, but

0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:03.160
<v Speaker 6>also the Arblow was something that was the poster in

0:31:03.200 --> 0:31:06.160
<v Speaker 6>my room in my parents' house. So the kon Dutch

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 6>for instance, probably you know the Hollywood movie Cannonball Run.

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Of course, definitely some.

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:14.320
<v Speaker 6>Weeks ago I had the opportunity to drive exactly the

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:17.200
<v Speaker 6>car of the movie, and this was something that I

0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:20.479
<v Speaker 6>had really goosebumps because I remember this was the first

0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:23.520
<v Speaker 6>time I can remember that I was in touch as

0:31:23.520 --> 0:31:26.840
<v Speaker 6>a child with Lamborghini because it was so cool movie

0:31:26.920 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 6>and even today I like a lort. Let me say

0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:32.760
<v Speaker 6>the opening scene with a black coon doudg. Therefore, I

0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 6>can tell you this is something that I really loved.

0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:38.040
<v Speaker 2>And I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention that

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Cannonball Run before it was a movie, started as a

0:31:41.560 --> 0:31:45.160
<v Speaker 2>story in Current Driver. It started as a race across

0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:49.400
<v Speaker 2>the country. Yeah, Dan Gurney and Brociates in the three

0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:51.760
<v Speaker 2>sixty five Daytona Ferrari.

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 6>I mean, this is incredible the story, to be honest,

0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:58.000
<v Speaker 6>it's part of autovotive culture. This is exactly what I'm

0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:01.520
<v Speaker 6>so fascinating by cars, because cars are generating this kind

0:32:01.600 --> 0:32:04.560
<v Speaker 6>of let me say, common experience. Even if this is

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:06.680
<v Speaker 6>something that makes for my point of view, the automotive

0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:11.160
<v Speaker 6>culture so exceptional because there are only few pieces of you,

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:14.000
<v Speaker 6>let me say, things that are generating this kind of

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:16.960
<v Speaker 6>let me say memories. You know you will not probably

0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 6>will not let me say, recognize a fridge or something

0:32:21.040 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 6>of the of the eighties. But the cars, I mean,

0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:25.840
<v Speaker 6>this is always something that you want to have and

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 6>that stays in your memories.

0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of which, what was your first car? You've had

0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:32.280
<v Speaker 1>some Lamborghini posters on the wall, but what was your

0:32:32.280 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 1>first car when you got your driver's license.

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:37.160
<v Speaker 6>My first car was for sure, far far away from

0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:40.600
<v Speaker 6>a lump from being a Lamborghini. My very first car

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:44.360
<v Speaker 6>was a Ford Escort station wagon super less power or

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 6>low power car. But I had the opportunity at this

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:50.040
<v Speaker 6>time to drive the car of my mom a lot

0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:53.160
<v Speaker 6>and she had a Pulsue two or five GTI one

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:53.840
<v Speaker 6>point nine, and.

0:32:53.800 --> 0:32:56.480
<v Speaker 2>This was for sure sweet at this time.

0:32:56.960 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 1>And you know I was.

0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:01.080
<v Speaker 6>Born close to the front of France, or in my

0:33:01.200 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 6>neighborhood there were a lot of French cars or Renuclio

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:08.200
<v Speaker 6>Pugo two or five. Therefore, I was happy that at

0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:10.920
<v Speaker 6>least during the weekend I was allowed to drive it.

0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Love it. That's great.

0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:14.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a great car to borrow.

0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:17.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's true, and even today it's a lot of

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:20.760
<v Speaker 6>driving fund even if for sure from today purposes it's

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 6>not as fast, but the Ki is very light, the

0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:26.120
<v Speaker 6>car is let me say, very adri the Cai is

0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:30.440
<v Speaker 6>very direct, and it's very houristic compared to today's mainstream cars.

0:33:30.520 --> 0:33:31.760
<v Speaker 6>Let me formulate it in this week.

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's analogy. You're right. This was great, Thank you, Reuvin.

0:33:36.600 --> 0:33:37.200

<v Speaker 1>That's the most fun I've ever had in a Lamborghini,

0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and I've driven every Lamborghini made in the past twenty years.

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:58.040

0:34:26.200 --> 0:34:28.799
<v Speaker 3>Early on in development had a very ulterior motive to

0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:31.960
<v Speaker 3>push our development engineers and they started benchmarking the M

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:34.520
<v Speaker 3>two and all these cars that have these berbos and crackles,

0:34:34.520 --> 0:34:37.520
