Lamborghini could have easily chosen to bring its flagship coupe down with them by creating something like an overpowered Prius with scissor doors; instead, the Revuelto is carving out new paths for their brand.
Lamborghini boasts that their vehicle can accelerate to 60mph in 2.5 seconds and 120mph in less than seven seconds. That is impressive in an industry where three seconds and 6.5 seconds are usually the norms.
POWER
Lamborghini Revuelto plug-in hybrid delivers an astonishing 1015 horsepower, more than any of their other cars combined! This power comes from its combination of an iconic V12 engine with three impressive electric motors; two power the front eAxle while the third works seamlessly with its eight-speed dual clutch transmission to maximize engine prowess.
The battery pack is located within the central tunnel for optimal weight distribution, and has a Lithium-ion high specific power (4500 W/kg) battery protected by an underbody layer for cooling purposes. An instrument cluster displays vehicle status while the infotainment system explains energy use; there’s even an “hybrid driving mode” designed specifically for city driving that reduces power output and fuel consumption.
Revuelto’s exterior design pays homage to both its heritage and future: its silhouette recalls that of the iconic Countach, while its front features scissor doors like those seen on Diablo models. Furthermore, its rear features a large center-exit exhaust with variable levels of downforce depending on conditions; there is even an optional moving wing element which provides additional downforce when necessary.
The Revuelto features user-adjustable driving modes and advanced driver assistance systems designed to keep you as safe and productive on the road as possible. A newly redesigned infotainment system gives access to streaming content, including thousands of radio stations and SiriusXM, plus updates over-the-air that add new functions or improve usability.
Lamborghini’s Revuelto HPEV super sports car sets new standards of performance, on-board technology and driving pleasure. Boasting an unprecedented 1015hp total powertrain consisting of an all-new internal combustion engine combined with three high density electric motors and an innovative transversal e-gearbox; driving becomes visceral and engaging; elevating driving emotions to entirely new heights.
EXPERIENCE
Lamborghini could have made the Revuelto an instant icon, as every component was brand new and there were technologies which they hadn’t yet experienced first-hand. Yet it acquits itself remarkably well as their new flagship coupe.
Revuelto’s 1015bhp output from its hybrid V12 is impressive enough, but what truly distinguishes this vehicle is how that power is delivered. While its naturally aspirated 6.5-litre engine still sits longitudinally like other Lamborghinis such as Countach, Diablo or Murcielago’s engines do, two electric motors integrated into its double-clutch eight-speed gearbox make its arrival revolutionary. Furthermore, for the first time Lamborghini has implemented battery technology behind its combustion engines; additionally it allows drivers to drive completely electric cars as an option if desired.
Driving this Lamborghini prototype around Nardo’s truly extraordinary handling track is an unparalleled privilege. While not the rawest Lamborghini ever built, this prototype easily holds the fastest 0-60 time record ever claimed by Lamborghini – even at its base specification, that makes an impactful statement about this stunning car’s capabilities.
Lamborghini has also installed torque vectoring and rear-wheel steering to make the Revuelto more maneuverable around corners (both are active regardless of whether driving on road or track) as well as brake-by-wire and an energy recovery system that uses energy from brake pads when not being used to generate power.
The infotainment system is an entirely unique concept for the brand and allows owner and passenger alike to switch applications quickly between displays with just the swipe of their finger. Furthermore, you can memorize certain functions so they are always within reach.
TECHNOLOGY
The Revuelto elevates the “Feel Like a Pilot” concept to its fullest expression. The cockpit’s simple volumes, symmetry, and driver-focused approach create an effortless relationship between driver and machine, with hexagon-shaped elements serving dual purposes of recalling previous models while emphasizing new functional features.
Lamborghini’s powerful vehicle features a brand-new chassis called the “monofuselage,” composed of carbon fiber and multi-technology materials such as Forged Composites – a material composed of short carbon fibers soaked in resin – which allows them to reduce weight, complexity and flex while increasing stiffness and rigidity.
For optimal drivability, the Revuelto chassis comes equipped with an adaptive suspension and driving mode selector which offers multiple settings for its drive system and battery. Furthermore, connected technologies including an app provide information about its hybrid components status.
Revuelto stands apart from its peers with its incredible powertrain; yet its true essence lies in how it makes drivers feel. A naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine combines with three high-density electric motors to produce 1015 CV of total power; an impressive power-to-weight ratio makes for an astounding 0-60 time of only 2.3 seconds!
The Revuelto features an electric drivetrain capable of approximately 11 miles of pure electric driving, so you can experience Palm Beach while contributing towards pollution reduction. But don’t worry: its V12 will take over when needed, giving you full Lamborghini experience in no time at all!
COMFORT
Lamborghini’s Revuelto hybrid super sports car marks an unprecedented leap forward for onboard technology, driving emotions, and sustainability. Its powertrain combines a brand new V12 internal combustion engine with three high density electric motors connected via transversal dual clutch e-gear transmission for 1015 CV total; an extraordinary powertrain which fully unleashes the full potential of an exceptional super sports car as well as setting a milestone in Lamborghini design language.
The Revuelto provides its two occupants with unparalleled levels of comfort. Its newly designed cabin is an exquisite work of grandeur, featuring luxurious fabrics and refined metallic decorations as well as numerous settings and lighting options that enable optimal personalization. Furthermore, there is an advanced entertainment system featuring an exclusive new design; including online radio with thousands of stations that allows them to search music by popularity or genre as well as SiriusXM for even more content like news updates and podcasts.
In addition to its spacious front cabin and comfortable rear seats, the Revuelto features ample cargo space behind its rear seats – enough space to carry either a single golf bag or two suitcases. Plus it boasts an additional storage compartment in its frunk that can fit a small cooler!
Drivers have the option of selecting from six driving modes to customize the vehicle to the road or track conditions, with Citta mode being designed specifically to reduce power output for urban use and increase energy recovery rate for increased fuel efficiency. Other modes include Strada, Sport, Corsa and Neve; each available with the optional LD-Cruise control system which automatically adjusts braking and acceleration for maximum efficiency.
The Revuelto features an advanced over-the-air software update system to maintain up-to-date infotainment and instrument cluster software, making it simple to add new features or upgrade existing ones over time. Furthermore, an integrated navigation system with this over-the-air software update offers more accurate maps.
