AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Dec. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
BorgWarner supplies its state-of-the-art fifth generation (GenV)
electro-hydraulic actuated all-wheel drive (AWD) coupling for
Lamborghini's new Huracan LP610-4 sports car, successor to the
famous Lamborghini Gallardo.
Featuring BorgWarner's electronically controlled AWD coupling, the
sports car delivers an engine output of 449 kW (610 HP) at 8,250
rpm and a maximum torque of 560 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The intelligent
GenV coupling automatically distributes power between the rear and
front wheels using a new lightweight and compact design for reduced
vehicle complexity and easier integration into the drivetrain.
"We are proud to deliver improved traction, stability and
handling for Lamborghini's new sports car with our latest AWD
technology," said Dr. Stefan
Demmerle, President and General Manager, BorgWarner
TorqTransfer Systems. "Designed for reliability, our GenV AWD
technology withstands the harsh vibrations and thermal environment
of high-performance vehicles."
To fulfill Lamborghini's demanding specifications for improved
traction and handling, BorgWarner adapted the GenV integrated
electronic control module to match the Lamborghini's particular
driving characteristics. The electronically controlled multi-plate
clutch automatically distributes power between the front and rear
axles. Based on data provided by the on-board electronics and on
the driver's request, the integrated electronic control module
calculates and delivers pre-emptive and immediate response with
high-torque accuracy. BorgWarner's GenV AWD coupling also works
independently of the differential speed between the front and rear
axle. If required, full locking torque is available at any given
time and speed depending on road conditions and vehicle load
distribution. The new compact AWD coupling design simplifies
integration into the powertrain by reducing the total weight
compared with the previous version while providing improved
traction, handling and stability. In addition, it helps improve
fuel economy by providing only the requested amount of torque to
the front axle, optimized for nearly all driving situations.
