Today let’s discuss a very modified STO that may have been trying to disguise itself as a stock STO for some lap record attempts!
00:00 Hey everybody I’m Robert!
00:03 Something exciting…
00:34 What happened on Thursday and Friday last week?…
01:06 Not a stock car!
01:23: Disclaimer alert.
02:45 What wasn’t stock?
03:57 Innocent until proven guilty!
05:30 Closed of cooling…
06:30 A kill switch?!
07:00 Clearly a glass window…
07:30 Why do we have additional cooling?
08:37 Similarities to the Super Trofeo…
09:15 What’s up with the windshield?
11:06 Making things smooth!
11:38 Centre slot aero talk
12:26 Something is up with the side windows…
14:29 More tape!!!
15:32 They changed the wing for the ‘record lap’?!
17:52 Locking up the brakes? Stock ABS?
18:44 Ice ABS
20:20 Race fuel talk…
22:32 Round up and my final thoughts!
29:30 Thanks and goodbye!

I have no doubt the STO is going to be an incredible car, and I'm very excited for the arrival of mine later this year. However, nothing is more important than honesty and transparency as we learned with the SSC Tuatara last year. Let's hope there's no intent to pull the wool over our eyes! EDIT: Removed "What a dumb controversy! ;)" because clearly too many people didn't understand that was a reference to the article written by Motor Trend last October, in reference to the video content made by Robert, Misha and myself when we suggested things weren't right with the SSC Tuatara 331mph record. This is not me defending or attacking Lamborghini either way, it was a joke, that too many people didn't understand. Sorry!

I don't even think they would have claimed a record. The car was perfectly modified to essentially replicate the new Super Trofeo race car, without looking like it on the outside. Why would Lamborghini, such a huge brand in the car world, throw away their entire reputation because of a simple lap record that can easily be debunked? It makes zero sense.

I have a 2011 997.2 C4S. I’ve locked the breaks on that car before. It has fully functional ABS, but there is a point when decelerating very quickly where even with abs the momentum of the car is still stronger than the ability of the abs to keep the wheels turning when I’m standing on the brake pedal. I love all your points, and maybe 10 year newer abs systems have improved even further, but I have experienced brake lock up on a passenger car with ABS.

In my experience, braking cars with ABS results in quick cycling of the braking pressure as the system tries to find the optimal brake point, what I mean by this is the brakes lock up for a short period of time, then the pressure is reduced, then increased again until it locks up, resulting in rapid multiple lock ups, unlike the warm up video where the brakes are locked up consistently, I don't know if your experience was different but I believe that real ABS would have resulted in multiple puffs of smoke rather than a longer one.

But a Timing session (where the STnO was run) means spending much more money for being able to do the same things as in industry pool if you just want to test something. Since I don't belive a multi billion dollar company is likely to basically burn money for absolutely no reason - I'd suggest they used the Friday session for a lap record attempt.

But again it was a time session, for records, you can test & try potential improvements on industry pool without any need to do a record lap, plus you don't even need the nurburgring to trial, nurburgring usually is for final version testing or suspension testing, but then again in the industry pool not in time record slots.

Very good Clouseau, the thing is though they could well have been simply trying to test and benchmark something similar to a Weissach Pack or even looking to see what modifications do what on the laptime. As you rightly point out the visible changes are clear for all to see - especially the gurney flap and lexan windows. This makes it impossible for them to have ever claimed this as a production car record so your video whilst clever and accurate in many ways is also presumptive and a shot in the dark.

Great video. However, there could be a benefit to race fuel without changing the mapping. Knock is almost directly dependent on intake temperatures. If your intake temperatures are unusually high then the stock engine might begin to knock at its limits. They could have used the race fuel to make sure that the stock engine hit its absolute limits even if temperatures were very high. Do you know if it was a warm or cold day there? This still would be considered a “modification” but it is possible that they saw a benefit from race gas without changing the map of the car.

I think in some parts of Europe 102 octane fuel is sold at the pump, but not many. Here in the UK 99 is the highest I know of that is sold at the pump. But the other changes are certainly misleading if the car does end up taking the record!

@@Scuderia2000HD yeah mate but if you make a production car that only runs 102 and only 1 pump in the UK offers ot (bp near silverstone) you're not providing a time the production car can do in normal circumstances rather. What it can do with a race team and bespoke fuel for the test... it makes the point(to be the quickest car you can buy) of the timed lap irrelevant

@@Scuderia2000HD makes me sad... I kinda wish homologation specials were all that could race if its based on a road car... more things like the group b cars and things like the yaris gr would be alot more plentiful. Like if nascar was still a stock car race based on the production models, they'd be so much more advanced for performance cars and we'd have a huge split between economy cars and performance oriented cars

The Performante time was infamously sketchy and now this. I always thought the SVJ time was kind of unrealistic having in mind, that Aventadors always were pretty shitty track cars (very underwhelming in other track-tests on yt) and what a beast the GT2 RS is.

I dont see an issue if they claim some sort of record for a modified car, but it will be an issue for an OEM stock car... thanks again for this excellent video. We'll have to wait and see what Lamborghini releases :-) Enjoy your time in FL

Probably because the Perf lap was so obviously a mess; best parts of the lap stitched together, and sped up in places, etc. They have to go flat out this time to make it look like the STO is worth it.

@robert - Great piece of Video / Doc. So this is me speculating in what Automobili Lamborghini is achieving on the " Record Day". If they are approaching the session with a "race car attitude" Testing a lot of those valid points your are pointing at in the video. Catching people's attention on how they are actually preparing the track focused cars from Automobili Lamborghini. Then you and me would be like " Oh my god there are really all in making it the fastetst track day weapon avail. " It´s a genuine race attitude that you can by for the road. Instead of it just being a 620 with an aftermarket exhaust . They are creating a hype around how they build and test the track focused cars to the market - And that is a market that is more and more demanding. For the Man / Woman who is in the market to by a car that they can take to the track. It´s an awesome feeling when you feel you by a piece of the motorsport department. The foundation is made. And as long as they do not post any official timing from the car - This could be a part of a Marketing move.. But again this is me speculating in what it could be.

I’d rather point it out now so they don’t claim a lap time and then we call them out for BS. I’d rather see them do NOTHING and not try to deceive us. I don’t want to call out A lie I’d rather see one doesn’t get made. Looks better for Lambo this way vs sitting and waiting for claims and debunking them. That’s sort of entrapment

Good to see you again Robert! I am not sure how a record-attempt works but I guess they don't have only qualified timing equipment and officials but also officials that can qualify the car as 'stock' . I am not into cars and racing ( did only a 1000 virtual Nürburgring laps so far ) ;-) but when I see how they check the race car of Misha prior to a race I would think they will do that as well before a record attempt. Lots of money and prestige is involved, it's not just big boys toys.
