Lamborghini has always been about drama, excess, and uncompromising performance. With the release of the Revuelto, the Italian marque embarks on a new chapter in its storied legacy, introducing a high-revving V12 hybrid powertrain that does not dilute the brand’s identity. Instead, it expands it.
The Revuelto is more than just a replacement for the Aventador. It is a complete rethink of what a Lamborghini can be in a world transitioning to electrification. With its unmistakable styling, brand-new chassis, and pioneering drivetrain, the Revuelto is the boldest signal yet that the future of Lamborghini remains loud, fast, and unapologetically exotic.
A New Era: Electrification Meets Tradition
At the core of the Revuelto is Lamborghini’s signature 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, now reworked to produce 814 horsepower. But this time, the V12 is accompanied by three electric motors—two on the front axle and one integrated into the new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Together, they deliver a combined output of 1,001 horsepower.
This is not a plug-in hybrid in the traditional sense. Lamborghini uses the hybrid system to enhance performance rather than chase efficiency. The 3.8 kWh lithium-ion battery provides enough juice for short electric-only operation, but the real magic happens when all power sources work in unison.
Key Powertrain Specs:
- 6.5L V12 engine with 814 hp
- Three electric motors adding 187 hp
- Total system output: 1,001 hp
- 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox
- All-wheel drive via front motors and rear transmission
- 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds
- Top speed over 217 mph
This is the most powerful Lamborghini road car ever built.
Design: Sharp, Angular, and Aerodynamic
The Revuelto’s exterior design is instantly recognizable as a Lamborghini. It takes inspiration from the brand’s past while pushing forward with an evolved design language. Every line is there to serve a purpose—either visual or aerodynamic.
At the front, Y-shaped LED lighting and massive intakes frame a low, aggressive nose. The side profile features deep sculpting and an open engine bay, while the rear showcases an exposed V12, floating wing, and stacked hexagonal exhausts.
Aerodynamically, the Revuelto generates 33 percent more front downforce and 74 percent more rear downforce compared to the Aventador Ultimae. Lamborghini has focused heavily on stability at speed, cooling efficiency, and high-speed handling—all while preserving that iconic silhouette.
Interior: Futuristic but Familiar
Inside the Revuelto, Lamborghini delivers a driver-centric layout that feels advanced but still mechanical. A trio of digital displays dominate the dashboard: a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, 8.4-inch vertical center screen, and a 9.1-inch passenger-side display.
The design is minimalist compared to previous Lamborghinis, with more focus on horizontal lines and reduced button clutter. However, the experience is no less visceral. Toggle switches, carbon fiber accents, and bespoke material options make the cabin feel crafted for speed.
The Revuelto also introduces a new Lamborghini Infotainment System (LIS), allowing over-the-air updates, telemetry integration, and real-time performance analytics. The user interface is clean and responsive, finally bringing the brand’s tech up to modern standards.
Performance and Handling
The hybrid powertrain unlocks a new dimension of handling for Lamborghini. With electric torque vectoring on the front axle and real-time control over power distribution, the Revuelto feels significantly more agile than the Aventador ever did.
Weight distribution is improved, and the battery pack sits low in the chassis behind the seats, lowering the center of gravity. The car remains rear-biased in power delivery, but the front motors allow for precise cornering and sharp turn-in.
In various driving modes—City, Strada, Sport, and Corsa—the Revuelto adapts its hybrid and suspension settings to match the driver’s intent. In Corsa mode, the car unleashes its full 1,001 hp and pushes all systems to their limits. The electric motors help fill torque gaps and assist in hard launches, making it Lamborghini’s quickest accelerating production car to date.
Sustainability With Identity
While the Revuelto may be hybridized, it remains a purebred Lamborghini in attitude. The V12 is still the emotional centerpiece of the car, revving to over 9,500 rpm with a naturally aspirated howl that few other manufacturers can replicate. The hybrid system is there to amplify the experience, not dilute it.
This approach contrasts with competitors who often chase efficiency and silence in their electrification efforts. Lamborghini remains committed to building emotionally charged, performance-focused vehicles, even in a world that demands lower emissions.
By making the Revuelto a performance hybrid instead of an eco-hybrid, Lamborghini has signaled its intent to evolve without sacrificing its soul.
Pricing and Availability
The Revuelto starts at around $604,000 USD, though most models will exceed that once customization begins. Deliveries have already started in select markets, and Lamborghini has confirmed that the car will be a full production model, not a limited edition.
Every Revuelto will be built at the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory, which has recently been upgraded to support hybrid and electric production.
Final Thoughts
The Lamborghini Revuelto is more than a new flagship. It is a technical showcase, a bold evolution of the V12 supercar, and a declaration that hybridization does not mean compromise. With over 1,000 horsepower, unmistakable design, and handling that benefits from electrification, it may be Lamborghini’s most complete supercar yet.
As the brand looks toward full electrification in the coming decade, the Revuelto is a powerful reminder that even in a changing world, Lamborghini is still Lamborghini.
