The successor to the famous Lamborghini Aventador was recently unveiled, named the Revuelto.
The new Lamborghini is the first super sports V12 hybrid plug-in HPEV (High Performance Electric Vehicle).
It comes with a new design, new carbon frame and an entirely new combustion-engine design and delivering an enormous power output.
What’s new?
The Lamborghini Revuelto, named after a Spanish fighting Bull, has an all-new exterior with a full carbon-fibre bonnet and over 400 paint options to choose from. Lamborghini’s tyre partner for the Revuelto is Bridgestone, which developed bespoke Potenza Sports tyres for the new Lambo.
It comes with 21-inch tyres for the front and 22-inch tyres for the rear, both featuring run-flat technology. This technology puts drivers in a position to continue driving safely even after a puncture for at least 80 km at 80 km/h with 0-bar pressure.
On the inside, you are greeted by 3 displays, a 12.3” instrument cluster for all your driving information, 8.4” central display and a 9.1” display for the passenger. It has an all-new interior design and features a lot of carbon fibre to enhance the driving experience.
The Lamborghini Revuelto has a new powertrain, which has a 93 kW/litre combustion engine that works synergically with two front axial flux motors that deliver an impressive power-to-weight ratio. It has 13 different driving modes to choose from.
The Revuelto at peak performance accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, and a top speed of more than 350 km/h. It achieves this with a power output of 746 kW and 725 Nm of torque.
“The new Revuelto is a milestone in the history of Lamborghini and an important pillar in our Direzione Cor Tauri electrification strategy,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini Chairman and CEO.
“It is a unique and innovative car but at the same time, it’s faithful to our DNA: the V12 is an iconic symbol of our super sports heritage and history. Revuelto was born to break the mould, combining a new 12-cylinder engine with hybrid technology, creating the perfect balance between delivering the emotion that our clients want with the necessity to reduce emissions.”
Pricing on the vehicle has not been released, but customers’ cars will be arriving in Q4 of 2023.
