Speed is synonymous with super sports cars, and every Lamborghini delivers benchmark VMAX figures. In motorsport as well as in road cars, speed is a reference, but Chief Technical Officer for Automobili Lamborghini Dr. Ing. Rouven Mohr and racing driver Andrea Caldarelli distinguish achieving those top digits as just one facet of the greater performance.
In the video ‘Beyond Speed: Emotion Outside of Numbers’, they explore the technical commitment and human input that delivers not only thrilling acceleration and kilometers per hour but the more powerful and emotional driver that is performance.

00:02 - Cars are my life.
00:08 In my private life, I think about cars,
00:10 I drive cars, I collect cars, I look at cars,
00:14 I make photos of cars.
00:15 At the beginning, I wasn't really into racing.
00:24 I understood that it was my career
00:25 when there was one year that I stopped racing for school.
00:29 After one year and a half,
00:31 my dad put me back in a single-seater car.
00:34 I think at that moment, I understood that,
00:36 you know what, I think I could give a shot on this.
00:39 Speed is love time.
00:43 The clock is really our enemy.
00:45 - Speed is also something not only about pure numbers.
00:49 Speed has to be always an experience,
00:52 and our ambition is always to build cars
00:55 that allows our customers to experience the speed,
00:58 not only the pro drivers.
01:00 - It's not just science.
01:01 It's still something that we discover
01:04 every time we go on a racetrack.
01:06 - And emotions is something on top.
01:08 For us, the performance is baseline to be credible,
01:12 because if you want to build a sports car,
01:14 the car has to deliver a certain level of performance.
01:17 - Endurance racing, it's about the performance in the race.
01:21 Our analysis after the race,
01:23 it's basically what went good
01:26 and what went wrong in the race.
01:28 A best performance in endurance race
01:32 doesn't necessarily mean to have the quickest car,
01:35 but to have the quickest crew to cut the finish line.
01:40 In motorsport, you learn that you have to deliver
01:44 the car to a certain time.
01:46 The race is starting at a certain time.
01:48 It's not waiting for you.
01:49 This kind of team spirit work together,
01:52 let me say, have these emotions also if you have the victory.
01:56 - My job was trying to deliver the message
01:59 of what was the feeling of the car.
02:02 Of course, we produce reports
02:04 at the end of every session and test,
02:06 but the human interaction,
02:08 I think it's still very important
02:09 in such a complex car development.
02:13 - We set the trends.
02:15 - Speeds and performance are our DNA.
