, ABC News sat down with industry leaders in Geneva, Switzerland, to get their take on the most-pressing issues facing consumers and automakers alike.A self-driving“We will never have autonomous driving. You buy a Lamborghini because you want to drive a Lamborghini,” he said.
He also disputed that Lamborghini's Urus sport-utility vehicle lost the world’s fastest SUV title to the Bentley Bentayga, the previous record holder. The Bentayga Speed, the latest iteration of Bentley’s top-selling SUV that goes on sale later this year, can reportedly hit 190 mph. Lamborghini says the top speed of the Urus is 189.5 mph.
“I still think [the Urus] is the fastest,” Reggiani argued. “Put them both on a track and we’ll see. What’s more important is the velocity of the car. The fact that the [Bentayga Speed] is 1 kilometer, more or less, faster in terms of max speed is nothing.”“Lamborghini will be one of the last ones to join the EV pool,” he said. “The new generation of [Lamborghinis] will be hybrid. But hybrids are still a big challenge for a super sports car.
“The Bentayga brought a lot of new people to the brand — people who would have never considered Bentley before,” he said. “It’s the best-selling vehicle for Bentley. I think SUVs are essential in [an automaker’s] lineup. Customers don’t necessarily want the off-roading capability. It’s more about the overall driving experience.”“Compare it to sports cars of 10, 15 years ago. It performs as well in terms of handling,” Cole said. “The center of gravity is very important in vehicle dynamics.
