Lamborghini Revuelto

Closing out a half century of purely gasoline-powered V12 cars going back to the brand's earliest models, Luxury Italian sports car designer Lamborghini has ...

The plug-in replacement for Lamborghini’s other, less expensive supercar, the V10 powered Huracán, will be revealed later. In the Revuelto, the engine points towards the back to make room for battery packs. Two more electric motors power each of the car’s front wheels, providing all-wheel-drive. Front-wheel-drive low-speed cruising will be fully electric, while high-powered aggressive track driving will employ all available power from the V12 engine and the electric motors. From there, engine power was rerouted through spinning driveshafts to the back wheels or, in many newer models, to all four wheels. The car, whose price is as yet undisclosed, will offer driving sensations ranging from loud and viciously punchy to smooth and silent.

The 217-mph electrified Revuelto puts out 1001 horsepower and boasts 13 driving modes, but it can manage only 8 miles on battery power alone.

The Revuelto promises to be more agile as the tempo increases and a good deal friendlier than its predecessors on the limit. Although the Revuelto has an electric range of about eight miles and can be driven silently in Città mode, Lamborghini is clear that the tech exists primarily to heighten the car’s performance and high-speed dynamics. But the new car, Mohr says, is more approachable and accessible. To give you some idea how small this pack is, the car can be fully charged in just 30 minutes on a 7-kW power supply, but the battery pack is more likely to be replenished under regenerative braking. But this particular hybrid is dedicated to expanding the car’s dynamic bandwidth as much as it is tidying up its emissions or reframing a V-12 hypercar in a more socially acceptable way. Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann claims that the company is on a path marked by four things: sustainability, digitalization, urbanization, and geopolitics.

Lamborghini has a new plug-in hybrid hypercar called the Revuelto, and it looks amazing from any angle.

If anyone was [worried about how Lamborghini would go eco](https://jalopnik.com/is-lamborghini-secretly-showing-off-a-hybrid-1827202512), I think this will quell any concerns they might have had.

The 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto is the brand's first plug-in hybrid supercar. Set to replace the Aventador, the electrified two-seater will get 1001 ...

The coupe can accelerate from zero to 100kph (zero to 62mph) in 2.5 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds quicker than the Aventador it replaces. By the end of 2024, the company said it would roll out gas-electric hybrid versions of its entire lineup. And to Lamborghini and its parent company Volkswagen, [electric is the future](https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/18/22440143/lamborghini-ev-electric-supercar-hybrid-models-announce). Which is not to say that the Revuelto will disappoint anyone in terms of speed, performance, handling, and other eye-watering qualities that Lamborghini is known for. The Revuelto will also be the first Lamborghini to implement a full advanced driver-assist system, powered by cameras, radar, and other sensors. And of course, the Revuelto is absolutely riddled with air intake ducts, ensuring an optimal airflow for the combustion engine. Or as the company’s CEO Stephan Winkelmann puts it, “Revuelto was born to break the mold.” [the beloved Aventador](https://www.theverge.com/2015/3/5/8153253/lamborghini-aventador-superveloce-geneva-motor-show-2015) with a car that plugs into an electrical outlet is going to scramble a lot of people’s brains. The first thing you need to know about the 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto is that it’s the storied Italian automaker’s first plug-in hybrid supercar. The new engine setup is not only lighter than the Aventador’s — 218kg (480 pounds) versus 234kg (515 pounds) — but it’s also more powerful, putting out 814 horsepower delivered at a searing 9,250rpm. Using Lamborghini’s Unica mobile app, Revuelto owners can monitor the car’s status, including the fuel level, battery charge, electric range, and where it’s parked. It’s also small enough for the combustion engine to charge it back up in about six minutes, or through regenerative braking from the front wheels.
