Lamborghini takes the helm in controlling their advanced system, amplified by up-leveling to a 400-volt technology designed for plug-ins, hybrids and electric cars. A hefty assembly enclosing the rotating flanges directive of camber and toe tweaking is also present. This unique method, crafted by Lamborghini, links up to the shafts from the transmission and wheel hubs on the rear end.

After testing, the business discovered that its system could make their vehicles up to 2.5 seconds quicker on Nardo, percieved 2.2 second gains at Imola, and up to 5 seconds faster around the Nordschleife.
