As Lamborghini approaches its 60th anniversary, the renowned marque has unveiled the Revuelto, its entry into the realm of High-Performance Electrified Vehicles (HPEV). This hybrid super sports car not only sets a new standard in performance but also embodies Lamborghini’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and driving pleasure.
At the heart of the Revuelto’s exhilarating performance is a powertrain that combines a brand-new 12-cylinder internal combustion engine with three high-density electric motors and an innovative transversal dual-clutch e-gearbox, culminating in an impressive 1015 CV total. The synergy of these elements harnesses the power of hybridization to elevate both performance and driving emotions to unprecedented levels.
While paying homage to Lamborghini’s tradition, the Revuelto ushers in a new era in exterior design. The iconic single center line remains, but sharp sculpted lines and sleek negative radiuses create a high-tech aesthetic that firmly places the Revuelto among the new generation of Lamborghini supercars. The rear proudly displays the iconic V12, showcasing Lamborghini’s commitment to performance excellence.
Step inside the Revuelto, and the “Feel Like a Pilot” concept comes to life. The interior boasts simple volumes, symmetry, and a driver-focused approach, creating an empowering cockpit for the driver. Futuristic elements forge a seamless connection between the driver and the machine, with exclusive hexagon-shaped details nodding to past models while introducing innovative functional features.
While cynics may dismiss the Revuelto as a mere evolution of the Aventador, a closer look reveals a complete overhaul of both major and minor systems. The 6.5-liter V12, although reminiscent of the Aventador’s engine, boasts significant reengineering, achieving over 9000 rpm and delivering a formidable 813 horsepower. In a market dominated by 4-liter twin-turbo V8s, Lamborghini reaffirms its commitment to the rarity and beauty of a naturally aspirated big-block V12.
