Lamborghini Revuelto
The Lamborghini Revuelto, unveiled in March 2023 and entering production in 2024, represents a paradigm shift for Lamborghini. It is the first hybrid Lamborghini, the first to use a dual-clutch gearbox, and the most powerful production Lamborghini ever made. Named after a famous fighting bull, the Revuelto ushers in a new era while maintaining an unbroken connection to Lamborghini's V12 heritage.
The powertrain is extraordinary. The naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine — designated L545 — produces 825 horsepower at 9,250 rpm, the most powerful version of Lamborghini's legendary twelve-cylinder ever. This is supplemented by three electric motors: one mounted on the rear axle (producing 110 kW/150 hp) and two on the front axle (each producing 110 kW/150 hp). The combined system output is 1,015 horsepower (1,001 metric horsepower) — making the Revuelto the first production Lamborghini to exceed 1,000 hp.
The V12 is mounted longitudinally behind the cockpit, as in the Aventador, but is now paired with a new 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox — a first for Lamborghini's flagship. This replaces the Aventador's single-clutch ISR unit, providing dramatically smoother shifts at low speeds while maintaining the lightning-fast shift times demanded at high revs. The dual-clutch design also enables the integration of the rear electric motor within the gearbox housing.
The front axle electric motors enable pure electric driving and provide instant torque for all-wheel drive traction. A 3.8 kWh lithium-ion battery (small by PHEV standards) provides up to 10 km of pure electric range — enough for quiet neighborhood driving. The battery is charged by regenerative braking and the V12 engine, and it is never fully depleted, ensuring the electric motors are always available to assist.
The chassis is a new carbon fiber monocoque — the first clean-sheet Lamborghini structure since the Aventador's debut in 2011. It is significantly stiffer and lighter (per unit area) than the Aventador's tub. The pushrod-actuated suspension on all four corners is derived from motorsport practice, with adaptive dampers providing variable compression and rebound. Four-wheel steering is standard.
The exterior design is unmistakably Lamborghini: dramatic angles, scissor doors, and aggressive air intakes define a shape that is more sculpted and aerodynamically effective than the Aventador. Active aerodynamic elements include a deployable rear wing and adjustable front aero. The Y-shaped headlights and hexagonal design motifs create a new visual language while maintaining familial continuity.
Thirteen driving modes are available, ranging from Citta (city/electric) through Strada, Sport, Corsa, and various combinations that adjust the V12's contribution, electric motor intervention, suspension, steering, and aerodynamics. The Drift mode allows controlled oversteer with full electronic assistance.
Performance is staggering: 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, 0-124 mph in under 7 seconds, and a top speed of 217 mph. On track, the instant torque fill from the electric motors eliminates any delay in power delivery, while the V12's 9,250 rpm scream provides the emotional crescendo.
The Revuelto proves that hybridization need not diminish the Lamborghini experience. The V12 remains the star of the show, and the electric motors serve to enhance rather than replace its character. It is the most technologically sophisticated and fastest Lamborghini ever built, and it sets the benchmark for the next generation of hybrid supercars.
The Revuelto is sold out for the foreseeable future at the official list price of approximately $608,358. Allocation requires a strong relationship with an authorized Lamborghini dealer. Secondary market markups have been significant — $700,000-$1,000,000+. The car is too new for long-term reliability data, but the V12 is an evolution of a proven design. The new 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox and electric motor integration are unproven in the long term. Battery technology adds a new maintenance consideration. Lamborghini's standard warranty and service programs apply. Specification is crucial for resale value — unique colors and options add premiums. As Lamborghini's first hybrid V12, the Revuelto will likely be historically significant.
Production began in 2024 at Sant'Agata Bolognese. The first two years of production are sold out, with a backlog of orders extending into 2026. The Revuelto is built on an entirely new production line. Each car takes approximately 10 working days to assemble. The 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox was developed in partnership with Graziano Trasmissioni. The carbon fiber monocoque is manufactured by Lamborghini's in-house composites department. Total planned production numbers have not been disclosed but are expected to be similar to the Aventador (approximately 10,000 over the model's lifecycle).
