The Lamborghini Revuelto is the most significant Lamborghini in a generation — a complete reinvention of the V12 flagship that replaces the Aventador after a 12-year production run. It combines Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated V12 with three electric motors in a hybrid system that produces a staggering 1,001 horsepower total. Here is the complete review of the Lamborghini Revuelto.
Powertrain: 1,001 Horsepower Hybrid V12
The Revuelto’s powertrain is a genuine engineering achievement. The 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 produces 825 horsepower on its own — already extraordinary — with three electric motors (one per front wheel plus one integrated with the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission) adding 176 horsepower for a combined system output of 1,001hp. This is the first Lamborghini V12 with electrification, and the execution maintains the character of the naturally aspirated engine while adding electric torque fill at lower revs.
Performance figures: 0–62mph in 2.5 seconds, 0–124mph in 7.0 seconds, top speed over 217mph.
The Sound
Any discussion of a naturally aspirated Lamborghini V12 must address the sound — it is genuinely irreplaceable and represents one of the last great examples of this engine configuration in production. The Revuelto screams to its 9,500rpm redline with the kind of mechanical intensity that no turbocharged engine has replicated. The hybrid system’s electric contribution does not noticeably dilute the acoustic experience.
Driving Experience
The Revuelto is more composed than its raw numbers suggest. The four-wheel steering, all-wheel-drive system, and active aerodynamics create a car that is accessible in its composure despite its extreme capability. It is genuinely more drivable than the Aventador it replaces, which was widely considered demanding. The electric front axle adds a level of precision control unavailable to the previous generation.
Interior and Technology
The Revuelto’s interior represents a significant quality step up from the Aventador. Digital instrumentation, a revised steering wheel, and improved material quality bring it closer to Ferrari’s interior standard than any previous Lamborghini. Three screens cover the driver, passenger, and central functions. Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI) — the vehicle dynamics system — coordinates all active chassis systems for optimal driving experience across conditions and modes.
Price
The Revuelto starts at approximately $600,000 before options. With typical Lamborghini personalisation, delivered examples frequently exceed $700,000. The waiting list extends well over two years from order.
Our Verdict
The Lamborghini Revuelto is the finest Lamborghini ever built — a car that honours the V12 legacy while embracing electrification without compromise. For anyone with the means and patience to acquire one, it represents an unrepeatable driving experience in the era of the internal combustion engine’s twilight.
