Revealed as recently as March 2023, the new Lamborghini Revuelto is on its way to South Africa, boasting a total system power output as lofty as 747 kW and a top speed in excess of 350 kph. Keen to know how much the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based firm’s first V12 plug-in hybrid super sports car will cost you? Well, wonder no more…
Thanks to our astute colleagues over at duoporta.com, we have confirmation the Revuelto – which bears the LB744 designation and effectively replaces the Aventador – will kick off at a cool R12 800000, which includes the Italian automaker’s standard 3-year DrivePlan. Opting for the 5-year DrivePlan, meanwhile, will push the starting price to R13 000000. Regardless, it’s the most expensive model in the current Lamborghini stable (and a shade more than even the Aventador SVJ 63 Roadster cost).
On its own, the L545 atmospheric V12 makes 607 kW.
As a reminder, the Lamborghini Revuelto combines a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 petrol engine (making 607 kW at 9250 r/min and 725 Nm at 6750 r/min, outputs that are delivered to the rear wheels) with a trio of electric motors and a new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. A 3.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack feeds a pair of electric motors (each generating 110 kW and 350 Nm) sited at the rear as well as a 220 kW front-mounted e-motor.
As a result, the Revuelto will reach 100 kph in a mere 2.5 seconds, according to Lamborghini, before topping out on the far side of 350 kph. The electric motors serve to boost power delivery while also allowing the Revuelto to function as a fully electric vehicle (for a few short kilometres, anyway).
The Revuelto tips the scales at a claimed 1 772 kg (dry).
The flagship Lamborghini measures 4947 mm long, 2266 mm wide (including mirrors) and stands just 1160 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2779 mm. Its dry weight is listed as 1772 kg, while the front wheels are shod in bespoke 265/35 ZR20 Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyres and the rear items in 345/30 ZR21 rubber.
The Revuelto rides on a new “monofuselage” chassis featuring a monocoque fashioned entirely from carbon fibre and a front structure made from forged composites. Inside, you’ll find a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, an 8.4-inch central display and an additional 9.1-inch screen (for the passenger), along with access to as many as 13 driving modes and numerous driver-assistance features.
Lamborghini Revuelto – R12 800 000
A 3-year DrivePlan is included, with the purchase price rising to R13 000 000 should a 5-year DrivePlan be specified.
