Lamborghini has pulled the covers off the Revuelto, a groundbreaking V12 hybrid plug-in HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) that marks the brand's bold entry into the world of hybrid powertrains. With its audacious design and cutting-edge technology, the Revuelto ushers in a new era for super sports cars.
At the heart of the Revuelto is an astonishing output of 1015 CV, achieved through the synergy of Lamborghini's most powerful V-12 engine to date, three electric motors, and an 8-speed double-clutch gearbox. This electrifying beast can rocket from 0-100 km/h in a mere 2.5 seconds and boasts a top speed of over 350 km/h.
Design and Aerodynamics: A Masterpiece Inspired by Aerospace
The design of the Revuelto is heavily influenced by aerospace elements, evident in its sculpted surfaces and razor-sharp lines. The car's carbon fiber body is meticulously crafted in Lamborghini's Sant’Agata Bolognese factory, resulting in a lightweight construction that delivers the best weight-to-power ratio in Lamborghini's history: 1.75 kg/CV.
"The Revuelto is adrenaline made visible," says Lamborghini Head of Design Mitja Borkert. The vehicle pays tribute to iconic Lamborghinis like the Countach, Diablo, and Murciélago while incorporating its own unique flair. The legendary vertically-opening scissor doors and the floating blade on the rear fender are just a few of the nods to Lamborghini's illustrious heritage.
Interior and Sustainability: Pilot Your Own Adventure
Embodying the "feel like a pilot" philosophy, the Revuelto's interior showcases visible carbon fiber and sustainable materials. The use of water-based paints and Corsa-Tex fabric in Dinamica® microfiber, made from recycled polyester, underscores Lamborghini's commitment to sustainability. The cockpit features a 12.3" instrument cluster, an 8.4" vertical touchscreen in the center console, and a 9.1" display for the passenger, providing an immersive, shared driving experience. The car is also equipped with Amazon Alexa, enabling voice control of various functions such as climate, navigation, and media.
The Revuelto's standard tracking system offers remote control, allowing the owner to monitor battery charge, fuel level, range, and location, as well as set speed, geolocation, hourly usage, and area parameters, even when not in the driver's seat.
Aerodynamics and Chassis: Cutting-Edge Engineering
Meticulously designed aerodynamics ensure optimal efficiency and performance. The new active rear wing significantly contributes to high downforce and minimized drag, depending on driving conditions. The front and rear aerodynamic load has increased by 33% and 74% compared to the Aventador Ultimae.
The Revuelto's new aeronautics-inspired 'mono fuselage' chassis features a 100% carbon fiber front structure and high-strength aluminum alloys in the rear chassis. This combination results in a 10% lighter chassis than the Aventador and a 25% increase in torsional stiffness.
Hybrid Powertrain: The Future of Performance
The Revuelto's powertrain comprises a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine and three electric motors, one integrated into the double-clutch eight-speed gearbox. The electric motors boost power delivery at low revs, reduce overall CO2 emissions by 30% compared to the Aventador Ultimae, and enable electric-only driving.
The lithium-ion battery, housed within the transmission tunnel, keeps the center of gravity low and can recharge in just under 30 minutes using a fast-charging system. The Revuelto can cover up to 40 km in electric mode, making it ideal for city driving without sacrificing performance.
In Conclusion: A New Benchmark in Supercars
The Lamborghini Revuelto signifies a monumental milestone in the brand's history, blending iconic design with pioneering hybrid technology. This high-performance electrified vehicle sets a new benchmark for super sports cars, showcasing Lamborghini's unwavering commitment to innovation, sustainability, and pure driving pleasure. With the Revuelto, the future of the supercar has arrived – and it's more exhilarating than ever. Prepare to be thrilled as the Revuelto takes the automotive world by storm, redefining what it means to be a true supercar.
