For decades, the name Lamborghini Revuelto has been synonymous with the roar of a naturally aspirated V12 engine—a mechanical symphony that defined the “Raging Bull.” With the retirement of the Aventador, many feared the era of the pure V12 was over. However, the Lamborghini Revuelto has arrived not to bury that legacy, but to electrify it.
As the brand’s first HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle), the Revuelto marks a historic pivot. It manages to preserve the soul of a supercar while embracing the inevitability of the hybrid era.
1. A Hybrid Heart with a V12 Soul
The centerpiece of the Revuelto is its powertrain. Lamborghini didn’t just add a battery for fuel economy; they used electricity to push the boundaries of physics.
- The Engine: An all-new 6.5-liter V12 that is lighter and more powerful than its predecessor. By itself, it produces 814 hp and screams to a staggering 9,500 rpm.+1
- The Electric Boost: Three electric motors—two on the front axle and one integrated into the gearbox—provide instant torque and all-wheel-drive capability.
- Total Output: A combined 1,001 hp (1,015 CV), catapulting the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds.8
| Feature | Specification |
| Engine | 6.5L V12 + 3 Electric Motors |
| Transmission | 8-Speed Dual-Clutch (DCT) |
| Top Speed | > 350 km/h (217 mph) |
| Combined Power | 1,001 hp |
| Electric Range | ~10 km (Pure EV Mode) |
2. Design: Aerospace Inspiration
The Revuelto’s design is a “monofuselage” concept, heavily utilizing carbon fiber to keep the weight down despite the heavy battery pack. Visually, it is an evolution of the brand’s iconic wedge-shaped DNA:
- Y-Shape Motifs: From the daytime running lights to the side air intakes, the “Y” signature is everywhere.
- Exposed Engineering: In a bold move, the V12 engine is left fully exposed under the rear deck, treated as a piece of mechanical art rather than hidden under a plastic cover.
- Active Aerodynamics: A new active rear wing adjusts its position based on the driving mode, optimizing downforce for high-speed cornering or reducing drag for top-speed runs.
3. The “Pilot” Experience
Step inside, and the “Feel Like a Pilot” philosophy is immediately apparent. The cabin is more spacious than the Aventador, offering better headroom and ergonomics for taller drivers.
- Triple-Screen Interface: The dashboard features a 12.3-inch driver display, an 8.4-inch central touchscreen, and a dedicated 9.1-inch passenger display that allows the co-pilot to view speed and performance data.
- Driving Modes: There are 13 different settings, ranging from Città (City), which allows for silent, fully electric cruising, to Corsa (Track), which unleashes the full 1,001-horsepower fury.
- Connectivity: Modern luxuries like Amazon Alexa, What3Words navigation, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto are finally integrated seamlessly into the Lamborghini experience.
4. Why the Revuelto Matters
The Revuelto is proof that electrification doesn’t have to mean the end of emotion. By using the electric motors to “torque fill” the gaps in the V12’s power band, Lamborghini has created a car that is smoother, faster, and more responsive than anything they have built before. It is a bridge between the raw, analog past and a high-tech, digital future.
“The Revuelto is not just a car; it is the beginning of a new era where performance and sustainability are no longer at odds.”
