This is the all new Lamborghini Revuelto. This is the newest and most powerful Lamborghini ever, with a 6.5-liter V12 and a hybrid system producing a maximum combined peak of 1,001 hp. The 3.8-kWh battery pack mounted between the seats can only produce a peak current flow of 187 horsepower, but this can be moved between the three 147-hp electric motors as required.
Unlike the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, the Revuelto can send power to both ends while working as an EV. There are two electric motors on the front axle, and these allow torque vectoring under both power and regenerative braking. A third motor is integrated into the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission which is now mounted behind the combustion engine. The battery can be recharged from a port inside the front luggage compartment, and the awkward location suggests it is only intended for infrequent use. More fun, although less green, will be the option to replenish it using the V-12 which turns the rear electric motor into a generator. Doing that takes just six minutes to top up the battery pack.
Even with the increase in mass, and in its lowliest launch spec, the Revuelto will be both the most powerful Lamborghini road car to date and almost certainly the quickest. The company's claim of a 2.5-second 60 mph (100 km/h) time might not stand out in a segment where pretty much everything now runs below three. But the claim that it will be able to blast its way from rest to 124 mph (199 km/h) in under 7.0 seconds is a genuine eye opener. It takes the Bugatti Chiron 6.5 seconds for the same benchmark.
Deliveries of the Revuelto will start later this year, and although we don't have a finalized price yet, Lamborghini says the first two years of production are already fully ordered.
