Yes, the AMG U88 system can track performance metrics like lap times, cornering G-forces, and other dynamic performance data, displaying them directly on the steering wheel or through the vehicle's instrument cluster or infotainment screen. The system is designed to enhance the driving experience by providing real-time data that can be crucial for high-performance driving, especially during track days, spirited driving, or other performance-oriented activities. Here's how the U88 system tracks and displays these metrics:

1. Tracking Lap Times and Performance:

• The AMG U88 system integrates with the vehicle’s performance tracking software, such as AMG Track Pace (if available), to monitor lap times and other performance data. The system can record and display lap times, sector times, and split times directly on the steering wheel's display or the dashboard.
• This allows drivers to monitor their performance without having to take their eyes off the road or track, providing immediate feedback on how they are performing during each lap or segment.

2. Cornering G-forces Display:

• One of the most exciting features of the U88 system is its ability to display real-time G-forces, especially during cornering. The system uses sensors in the vehicle to measure the lateral G-forces (side-to-side forces) that occur when the vehicle is turning or navigating corners at high speeds.
• The G-forces can be displayed as a digital readout on the steering wheel's screen, giving the driver instant feedback on their cornering performance. This allows the driver to understand how hard they are pushing the vehicle in corners and whether they are approaching the limits of grip.

3. Dynamic Performance Feedback:

• The U88 system provides dynamic feedback on how the vehicle is performing during aggressive driving or track use. By continuously monitoring engine power, braking force, cornering speeds, and acceleration, the system can display key performance metrics on the steering wheel in real-time.
• The system adjusts these readings based on the current driving conditions, road surface, and vehicle settings (e.g., Sport or Sport+ mode), offering the driver valuable insights into how their vehicle is handling at any given moment.

4. Customizable Display Preferences:

• Drivers can customize the types of data displayed on the steering wheel, such as selecting to view lap times, cornering G-forces, engine performance (torque, horsepower), or even brake performance.
• This customization helps drivers focus on the metrics most important to their current driving style or activity. For example, if they are focused on improving cornering speed, they can prioritize cornering G-forces on the display.

5. Real-Time Tracking for Competitive Events:

• For those participating in track days or competitive driving events, the U88 system can track and display these performance metrics live, allowing drivers to make adjustments to their driving technique, timing, or strategy.
• The system can also provide detailed performance analytics after the session, showing how lap times and G-forces compare across different laps or driving conditions.

6. Integration with Other Performance Systems:

• The U88 system often works alongside other vehicle performance systems such as AMG Track Pace or telemetry systems to provide even more granular data, including engine temperatures, brake temperatures, torque distribution, and more.
• This integration ensures that the driver can access a complete set of performance data, enhancing their overall driving experience.

7. Visual Feedback and Alerts:

• The U88 system can give visual alerts or vibrations through the steering wheel if the vehicle is approaching critical performance limits, such as cornering G-forces that may exceed safe limits or if the vehicle is reaching a point of understeer or oversteer.
• This helps the driver adjust their inputs in real-time, preventing over-driving the car and improving performance consistency on the track.

8. Historical Data:

• The system may also allow drivers to review historical data from previous sessions, including lap times, G-forces, and other performance metrics, allowing drivers to track their progress over time and make improvements.

Conclusion:

The AMG U88 system is designed to enhance the driving experience by tracking and displaying key performance metrics like lap times, cornering G-forces, acceleration, and more, directly on the steering wheel or in the vehicle’s interface. This real-time data gives the driver the tools to optimize their performance, whether they're driving on a track, pushing the limits on a spirited drive, or simply looking to track their progress. By integrating with other vehicle systems and offering customizable displays, the U88 system is a powerful tool for performance driving enthusiasts.
