Vita gazette – Lamborghini has introduced the Revuelto, the successor to the Aventador. The Revuelto is the first model with a plug-in hybrid drive from the Italian sports car manufacturer, belonging to the Volkswagen Group.

Lamborghini Revuelto, the first hybrid V12 super sports car. In the year of the brand’s 60th anniversary, Lamborghini presents Revuelto, the first V12 plug-in hybrid HPEV (High-Performance Electrified Vehicle) super sports car. Italian automaker Lamborgini offers four engines, one internal combustion and three electric, in its new Revuelto model.

Revuelto defines a new paradigm in performance, sportiness and driving pleasure thanks to unprecedented architecture, innovative design, highly efficient aerodynamics, a new carbon frame concept and a 1,015 HP power unit. The powertrain combines elements with a high specific power: the new 127 HP/litre internal combustion engine works in synergy with two front axial flow electric motors with an exceptional weight/power ratio and a third radial flow electric motor located on the first gearbox double clutch debuting on a 12-cylinder Lamborghini. The three motors are powered by a specific high-power lithium-ion battery (4500 W/kg) and allow electric driving.

Carbon fibre, made with artisanal processes in Sant’Agata Bolognese, is the main structural element of the new car, used not only to make the mono fuselage frame but also a large part of the bodywork elements. The extensive use of carbon fibre and ultra-lightweight materials, combined with the exceptional numbers of the engine, helped to achieve the best weight/power ratio in Lamborghini’s history: 1.75 kg/hp. Features that allow the new Revuelto to offer performance at the top of its category: acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds; a maximum speed of over 350 km/h. Numbers, combined with excellent dynamic qualities thanks to the introduction of electric torque vectoring and all-wheel drive which is also available when driving in electric mode, make the Revuelto a super sports car capable of best expressing its qualities both on the track and in everyday driving.
