How to Fix the Issue with Dynamic Steering
When they look back in years to come many driving enthusiast may see 2016 as a dark day with high reeving and emotional normally aspirated engines making way for muted and downsized turbo charged engines in the name of reduced emissions and increased fuel efficiency. The new 4 cylinder turbo charged Porsche 718 Boxster being a great case in point. It has been described by many motoring journalists as being a great sports car with an average engine and a disappointing soundtrack.
However, more alarming than a move to turbo charged engines is the rise of dynamic steering, which as the name suggests dynamically varies the steering rate as you drive. The car which has been on the receiving end of the most rhetoric over the past 12 months has been the Lamborghini Huracan. The reason being that this supercar combines the unpopular dynamic steering with a chassis that is dynamically set up for safety rather than fun.
As respected motoring journalist and current TopGear presenter Chris Harris put it in this now infamous “Lamborghinis Are The Perfect Cars For People Who Can’t Drive” article, the Huracan has built to be easy to drive for the Chinese market and Lamborghini is now the purveyor of cars that understeer.
