History
The Revuelto was presented online on March 29, 2023, as the successor to the Lamborghini Aventador.[5] The car is the first of the brand to adopt a plug-in hybrid propulsion system.[8]
Design
Exterior
On the front, the Lamborghini Revuelto included the brand new Y-shaped daylight LED beams and the headlights hidden behind those beams.[9] The car also features a new aerodynamic system with redesigned vents underneath the headlights and behind the scissor doors.
In the back, the Revuelto features an active aero spoiler which produces more downforce than its predecessor, the Aventador. The tail lights are shaped similarly to the headlights.
The Revuelto has the highest-positioned exhaust tips of any Lamborghini production model, with the rear spoiler being shaped around them. Another feature setting the Revuelto apart from its predecessors is the completely exposed engine bay (i.e., no engine cover).
Interior
It has a bigger cabin, more headroom, and larger elbow space for maximum comfort for the driver and passenger.
The Revuelto features a new hybrid driving mode called "Città", which stands for "city" in Italian.[5] This driving mode reduces the power of the car for daily usage and extra comfort while in the city.
Revuelto has a redesigned monitor, which shows the state of charge, energy recovery, and how much battery there is. It also displays what music the driver is listening to and the battery, fuel usage separates on the left and right side of the monitor.
From the passenger's view, the car features a small display that monitors the speed, gear and the car's state.
Specifications
Body
The Revuelto has a monocoque made entirely of carbon fiber, making it 10% lighter than the Aventador's chassis.[10] Torsional rigidity has been improved by 25% and the front frame is 20% lighter.[10][11] The manufacturer used CFRP in the construction, and the back of the chassis has high-strength aluminum alloys.[12]
Powertrain
The Revuelto features a new 6.5-liter V12 engine, complemented by three electric motors that produce a combined power of 1,001 hp (1,015 PS; 746 kW).[9]
