The automotive landscape is rapidly evolving as the industry pivots towards hybridization and electrification, and even the most iconic of luxury sports car manufacturer, Lamborghini, is embracing this change. In a grand unveiling, Lamborghini introduced its maiden V12 hybrid high-performance electrified vehicle, the Revuelto, on September 1st, marking the initial step in their journey towards becoming a fully electric car manufacturer by 2028.
The Revuelto is an automotive marvel that combines Lamborghini's hallmark V12 engine with cutting-edge hybrid technology. One notable assurance from Lamborghini is that the electrified version retains the beloved roaring sound and visceral emotions characteristic of their traditional V12 engines, a relief to passionate Lamborghini enthusiasts.
Design
With the launch of the Revuelto, Lamborghini introduced a groundbreaking design concept called "Space Race," tailored to meet the challenges posed by electrification. This design draws inspiration from aerospace elements, seamlessly integrated into the car's DNA. The exterior design exudes animalistic muscularity, with shark-nose sections and side fins behind the front wheel arches that optimize airflow along the sides. The roof design not only provides increased headroom but also incorporates aerodynamic functions. At the rear, the design pays homage to the hybrid V12, featuring a fully exposed longitudinal engine. The racing-inspired steering wheel boasts intuitive controls for turn signals and launch control while ensuring an optimal grip for the driver.
Personalization
Personalization is a cornerstone of the Lamborghini experience, and the Revuelto upholds this tradition. It offers a staggering choice of 400 bodywork colors, alongside numerous personalization options to enable customers to create a super sports car that is uniquely their own. Interior customization options include a blend of leather and the ultralight Corsa-Tex fabric, with a palette of 70 color choices, or customers can opt for a single material based on their preferences.
Aerodynamic Performance
Every element of the Revuelto's design is meticulously engineered to optimize airflow for peak performance. It promises an ideal balance between high downforce and minimized drag, ensuring optimal efficiency. A new active rear wing is a pivotal feature that adapts to different driving modes, and dynamics, or can be manually adjusted by the driver using the dedicated rotor on the steering wheel.
Powertrain and Layout
Under the hood, the Revuelto boasts a 6.5-liter V12 mid-mounted engine, complemented by three electric motors, one of which seamlessly integrates into the new double-clutch eight-speed gearbox. This hybrid powertrain promises electrifying performance without sacrificing Lamborghini's signature power and agility.
The Revuelto, with prices starting at RM2.52 million before duty and tax, is now available for orders. It stands as a testament to Lamborghini's commitment to blending tradition with innovation as they pave the way for the future of high-performance electrified vehicles.
