1000hp Lamborghini Revuelto LB744 Announced-May 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:24

Meet the first-ever full production Lambo with both a V12 and electrification, its the Lamborghini Revuelto and its armed with over 1000 hp!

The new Lamborghini Revuelto is the brand’s 6th new V12-powered Lambo in 60 years and it represents a new chapter in the brand’s story.

The big news is the 6.5-litre V12 engine is an updated and enhanced version of the Aventador’s, but there’s a power boost, making it the most powerful road-going 12-cylinder motor. There’s 600 kW and 725 Nm, but that’s not including the new hybrid tech.

There are three electric motors, with two on the front axle and one located in the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission that powers the rear wheels. There’s motors each make around 108 kW. Impressively, the car can run on electric power only, but power is restricted to 130 kW as the V12 stays silent. With this hybrid setup, the Revuelto is all-wheel drive and has torque vectoring capability. There’s a 3.8 kWh battery pack.

With both the petrol V12 and three electric motors working in harmony, 1 001 hp (736 kW) is on offer. Dial up the launch control and the Lamborghini Revuelto will sprint to 100 kph in 2.5 seconds, hit 200 kph in under 7 seconds and go to a top speed of 350 kph.

Customers will be able to playing with the various driving modes, one of which is all-new. Citta (City) put the Revuelto into all-electric mode, but your favourites like Strada, Sport and Corsa are there too, if you want access to the V12. Sport mode now has three sub-modes; Recharge, Hybrid and Performance.

Despite its performance credentials, the Lamborghini Revuelto boasts quite a number of creature comforts and is the first Lambo to get a proper safety suite that includes things like lane-departure warning, blind spot, adaptive cruise control and rear-cross traffic alert. The car will come with goodies like LED Matrix headlights, over-the-air updates and connectivity like SiriusXM satellite radio and Amazon Alexa.

This is a new chapter for Lamborghini as there’ll be a convertible and faster, track-focused versions of the Revuelto, but critically, it heralds the electric age for the brand.
