The much-anticipated supercar of 2023 has finally arrived. While it may seem reminiscent of previous Aventador models at first sight, it boasts a new all-carbon monocoque structure called “monofuselage,” which is 10% lighter than its predecessor and offers a 25% increase in torsional stiffness.
Drawing inspiration from models like the Sian and Centenario, the exterior design of the Revuelto features a more aggressive headlamp design with Y-shaped LED signatures at the front, Z-shaped vents along the sides, and Y-shaped LED taillights framing twin hexagonal exhaust tips at the rear. Additionally, the Revuelto introduces floating buttresses and an exposed engine bay for the first time.
Entering the car, you’ll find a contemporary dashboard with an 8.4-inch touchscreen at the center and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The vehicle is equipped with Lamborghini’s latest steering wheel design, complete with numerous switches, and now features a 9.1-inch screen on the passenger side, reminiscent of Ferrari’s setup.
Under the hood, the Lamborghini Revuelto is powered by a 6.5-liter V12 hybrid powertrain, a lighter and more potent engine than its predecessor. The internal combustion engine (ICE) produces 813 hp @ 9250 rpm and 535 lb-ft of torque.
This engine is paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and three electric motors – two at the front axle and a third connected to the gearbox, resulting in a combined output of 1001 hp. A 3.8 kWh battery pack located in the transmission tunnel enables the car to operate in full electric mode for approximately 6 miles. The plug-in hybrid supercar offers a total of 13 driving modes.
The Lamborghini Revuelto is set to arrive in US showrooms later this year, with pricing details to be announced subsequently. Anticipated to exceed $650,000, this plug-in hybrid successor to the Aventador promises to set new benchmarks in the supercar realm.
