Lamborghini’s first plug-in hypercar is the Aventador-replacing Revuelto

Revuelto (pronounced rey-WEL-to) either means ‘unruly’ or refers to a dish of creamy scrambled eggs. Either way, it will replace the Aventador as Lamborghini’s flagship vehicle.

Which is not to say that the Revuelto will disappoint anyone in terms of speed, performance, handling, and other eye-watering qualities that Lamborghini is known for. The powertrain alone sounds bonkers: a 813hp, 6.5-liter V12, bolstered by three electric motors for a combined 1,015cv (a metric unit of horsepower that translates to 1,001hp). A mere glimpse at these specs would melt even the most hardened EV skeptics.

The three e-motors — one in the rear and one at each front wheel — are powered by a 3.8kWh battery pack housed in the car’s central tunnel, which is tiny by EV standards but should power the Revuelto for up to 10km, or 6.2 miles of all-electric range. It’s also small enough for the combustion engine to charge it back up in about six minutes, or through regenerative braking from the front wheels. And in a first for Lamborghini, the electric motors provide four-wheel drive and enable electric torque vectoring.


It will also probably break your bank account, with Winkelmann telling Automotive News Europe that the Revuelto will cost about 500,000 euros, or $542,165.

Either way, that’s a lot of big talk — but Lamborghini backs it up with performance. The coupe can accelerate from zero to 100kph (zero to 62mph) in 2.5 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds quicker than the Aventador it replaces. That might not mean much to your average person, but for real performance heads, every tenth of a second you can shave off speaks volumes. The Revuelto also has a top speed of more than 350kph (218mph).

In 2021, the Italian automaker outlined its electrification plans, which will proceed in two distinct phases over the next decade. By the end of 2024, the company said it would roll out gas-electric hybrid versions of its entire lineup. Following that, Lamborghini will debut its first all-electric model sometime before the end of the decade.



With the Aventador set to become the plug-in hybrid Revuelto, the remaining models we have yet to see are the hybrid versions of the Huracán and Urus, which we’re likely to get later this year in August and October.

I honestly expected more from the mighty aventador replacement (atleast for half a million dollars). It's either that or the new challenger demon 170's numbers have made this seem average for a supercar of this time.

Disappointed. Nothing new in design language. Looks like a rehash of Sian & aventador.
Lamborghini should’ve designed it a little different.

While Ferrari designs are refreshing such as SP3 Daytona.

Having said that, the engine sounds unbelievably good.
