The Lamborghini Revuelto has officially been launched in India, with a price tag of Rs 8.89 crore (ex-showroom, India). Lamborghini India has only managed to secure a few allocations and the first unit is expected to be delivered in the coming weeks. However, the brand is unlikely to take fresh orders as it had announced in June that the model was sold out until 2026.
The Revuelto replaces the iconic Aventador as Lambo’s flagship and is the brand’s first series-production hybrid supercar. Fortunately, it retains the V12 motor at its heart and the characteristic wedgy design that Lamborghinis are adored for.
Engine
The Revuelto is powered a glorious 6.5-litre, naturally aspirated V12 engine that’s coupled with three electric motors and a 3.8kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Lamborghini claims the new 6.5-litre L545 V12 engine is its lightest and most powerful yet, producing 825hp and 725Nm of torque on its own.
The combustion engine is coupled with three electric motors – two at the front and one above the gearbox – and together, they produce a combined output of 1,015hp and 807Nm of torque. The two motors on the front axle power each wheel, while the third motor assists the engine in driving the rear wheels, depending on the drive mode selected. Lamborghini claims a 0-100kph sprint time of 2.5 seconds and a top speed in excess of 350kph.
The power unit comes mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, replacing the archaic 7-speed single clutch unit on the Aventador. Thanks to the three electric motors, the Revuelto effectively gets all-wheel drive and can even be driven in pure electric mode for about 8-10km.
Design
The design is unmistakably Lamborghini – it’s sharp and edgy with extravagant details. Like with other modern Lambos, the signature Y-shaped motifs abound. At the front, the headlight and air intakes are set in massive Y-shaped enclosures, which also house the Y-shaped LED light signatures. The same light signature is also used for the tail lights, with a pair of high-mounted hexagonal-shaped exhaust ports sitting between them that expose the longitudinal engine.
The Revuelto rides on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels, which also have Y-shaped motifs. As ever, Lambo’s signature scissor doors add even more visual drama.
The exterior of the car is made with carbon fibre, which, along with weight reduction, also betters the Aventador’s aluminium front frame in energy absorption.
Like the exterior, the interior is also influenced the ‘Y’ design theme. The cabin has a pronounced carbon-fibre centre profile, with air vents and an 8.4-inch floating touchscreen. There’s also a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel display and a 9.1-inch passenger-side display, both of which can simultaneously show the same information.
The Revuelto has a swipe function that allows occupants to move applications and information from the central display to the side displays, much like a smartphone. While the three screens have eliminated most of the physical controls from the dashboard, there’s a handful of them retained on the centre console, along with the fighter jet-style starter button.
Conversely, the steering wheel is swamped with buttons to control just about everything. You can change the drive modes (13 of them, including electric 4WD), manage the hybrid system, adjust damping settings, operate the nose lift and even adjust the active aerodynamics.
