In-car speech recognition systems are nothing new, but Lamborghini has decided to raise the bar announcing that the 2020 Huracan Evo will get Amazon Alexa integration.
The partnership between Lamborghini and Amazon will allow Huracan Evo owners to ask Alexa to perform a series of in-car functions, including changing the temperature, selecting a specific radio station, or turning on the heated seats of the supercar. What’s more, drivers will be able to now switch between different driving modes by simply saying “Alexa” and asking.
Vice president of Alexa Auto, Ned Curic, said the company’s vision is “for Alexa to become a natural, intuitive part of the driving experience.” Amazon Alexa integration is currently available in select Audi, Lexus, Ford, Lincoln and Toyota models.

Lamborghini will start deliveries of its Alexa-equipped cars in spring 2020, with 2020 all-wheel drive Huracan models as well as the recently-announced Huracan RWD variant.
The 2020 Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD was only introduced earlier this week as perhaps the most driver-focused version of the car manufacturer’s V10-powered, mid-engine supercar. It features a detuned version of the all-wheel drive model’s 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 churning out 602 hp at 8,000 rpm and 413 lb-ft (560 Nm) of torque at 6,500 rpm.
While the car may have slightly less powerful than its sibling, the lack of an all-wheel drive system does mean it weighs less, dropping 33 kg (73 lbs) and tipping the scales at 1,389 kg (3,062 lbs). It will hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.3 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 9.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).
