Lamborghini Revuelto: All About the Car

Lamborghini Revuelto made its global debut in March 2023 and was launched in the Indian market in December 2023. At the time of launch, it had a price of Rs 8.89 crore (ex-showroom) before any options. Furthermore, the car is one of the rare models on the Indian roads as the brand had allocated only a few units for the country. However, the number was not specified. Additionally, the Italian marque had announced that they will not take any fresh orders for the model as it was sold out till 2026.

The car is not only special for the consumers in the Indian market, but also for the brand itself. Unveiled right before the 60th anniversary of the manufacturer, it is the first HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) of the brand. Replacing the Aventador as Lamborghini's flagship model, it brings the easily recognisable wedge-shaped design with a sharp and edgy finish. Highlighting its performance-oriented design, the car gets a carbon-fiber fuselage and frame with a lot of bodywork elements.

Talking of performance, it is one of the very few high-performance cars on sale in the world with a V12 engine. Despite the trend of downsizing, it still carries a massive unit, which is also claimed to be the brand's lightest engine. To increase efficiency, the car gets support from a plug-in hybrid system that consists of a 3.8 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.

Why Should It Be Driven Carefully?

As mentioned earlier, powering the supercar is a 6.5-litre V12 engine, which belts out 825 hp of power and 725 Nm of peak torque on its own. Coupled with three electric motors - one above the gearbox and two at the front, the final output is rated to be 1015 hp and 807 Nm. Using the power, the car can go from 0 to 100 kmph in 2.5 seconds. Meanwhile, the top speed is claimed to be 350 kmph.

While the advanced mechanics of the supercar enhance its performance significantly, it is essential to operate the vehicle with the highest level of care and precision, particularly on public roads. Given its powerful engine and high-revving capabilities, the supercar presents a driving experience that demands attention and respect, as the potential for mishaps may arise at any moment.
