Introduction
In celebration of its 60th anniversary, Lamborghini introduces the Revuelto, the brand's first high-performance electrified vehicle (HPEV) featuring a V12 engine and plug-in capabilities. The Revuelto sets a new standard in performance, sporty features, and driving pleasure, thanks to its innovative engineering, cutting-edge design, and highly efficient aerodynamic properties, alongside its groundbreaking carbon fiber chassis.
Vehicle Performance
This supercar generates a remarkable 1,015 horsepower (CV) through the combined power of a brand-new internal combustion engine and three electric motors. Key features include:
- A new internal combustion engine delivering 127 horsepower (CV) per liter, working in harmony with front-axle electric motors.
- A radial flow generator mounted on an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
- Three electric generators powered by a lithium-ion battery pack.
Chassis Design
The high-quality carbon fiber produced by skilled artisans at the Sant'Agata Bolognese factory is a fundamental structural element in the new vehicle. Design features include:
- Carbon fiber utilized in the monocoque body and chassis.
- A record power-to-weight ratio for Lamborghini: 1.75 kg/hp.
Performance Numbers
The new Revuelto combines these attributes to deliver top-tier performance metrics:
- Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds.
- A top speed exceeding 350 km/h.
