Evil 1,001-hp Lamborghini Revuelto hybrid has that carbon resin drip

Lamborghini has been working on electrification for almost a decade, starting with the sleek Asterion concept in 2014. More recently, it has become a lightweight hybrid between the limited-series supercapacitor-boosted Sián FKP 37 and the Roadster. Now, we’ve added a powerful plug-in hybrid to our regular production rotation, replacing the Aventador with the boundary-pushing Revuelto. This is a powerful plug-in machine with penetrating LED eyes and carbon composites all over. Sure, the mighty V12 remains, but with his triple-motor hybrid drive he’s got over 1,000 horsepower, all-wheel drive with torque vectoring, and even all-electric city driving. I’m here.

Traditionalists have nothing to fear. Lamborghini has no immediate plans to abandon the rich tradition of his V12 engine, which dates back to his first car, the 350GT. In fact, this gives his Revuelto his lightest and most powerful 12-cylinder engine ever. His newly developed L545 6.5 liter V12 breathes freely and naturally under the mid-engined transparent cover. A new 8-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox reverses positions and finds lateral home at the rear of the V12, freeing up a conventional transmission tunnel and powering the 3.8 kWh lithium-ion battery responsible for running the three electric motors. Release

As for the electrical parts of the package, one radial flux motor is integrated into the gearbox and joins the V12 that delivers torque to the rear wheels. Twin 148 hp (110 kW) axial flux units at the front offer all-wheel drive capability with torque vectoring and can also take over completely, offering all-electric front-wheel drive. With zero emissions mileage equivalent to a very long commute. The rear electric motor can also be activated during all-electric travel in all-electric AWD.

The blistering 814 hp V12 (599 kw at 9,250 rpm) shouldn’t need much help, but then the triple e-drive boosts power at low revs, boosting total power to 1,001 hp (736 kW). ) and 1,051 lb-ft (1,425 Nm) of torque. This allows Revuelto’s bullet to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in an estimated 2.5 seconds, and continue to accelerate until his top speed exceeds his 217 mph (350 km/h). .

With a 7 kW charger, the battery recharges in 30 minutes. V12-powered charging via regenerative front wheel braking or a motor-generator integrated into the gearbox makes him even faster. Lamborghini says a direct recuperation or V12 route takes just six minutes, allowing drivers to push hypercar boundaries while maintaining battery power.

Lamborghini has slashed the weight of the V12 engine by 37 pounds (17 kg) compared to the Aventador V12, continuing its weight-saving efforts by using composite materials in the car’s construction. The structural base, which Lamborghini calls a “single fuselage”, is an aeronautical-inspired chassis with a carbon fiber monocoque and a special his CFRP blend made of short carbon fibres, “Forged Composite”. Combines a front structure made of

Lamborghini says the new chassis construction improves torsional rigidity and driving dynamics, while reducing weight by 10% over the Aventador chassis. He also explains that the all-carbon fiber front structure doubles the energy absorption during impact compared to the Aventador’s aluminum front frame.

On top of all that, carbon fiber…more carbon fiber. Lamborghini uses self-developed carbon composites for much of the Revelto’s bodywork and components, from the roof to the bonnet to lower aerodynamic elements such as the front splitter.

The Revuelto is instantly recognizable as the latest Lamborghini flagship, but it’s the one with a little extra chip on the shoulder and probably proves something to all PHEV naysayers. is derived from the Sián series, but it’s stretched out, and staring at it all day seems to only add to its anger and determination. His Y of them is mirrored back, with elongated taillights extending from the wicked upper-centre dual hexagon exhausts.

Lamborghini avoids the temptation to adopt a weapon-grade nose by machining the bonnet lip into what it calls a shark nose. The rest of the body goes full his blades, with triangular hood recesses, razor-sharp bodywork around the headlights, predator-tooth-like covers covering his intakes on the sides, and blades. A rear he diffuser has been added. There are just enough curves sprinkled in to maintain the smooth, flowing aesthetic that is so characteristic of Italian cars.

The delicate, contoured rear wing uses newly developed actuators to adjust its position, massaging air from the roof to provide downforce and low-drag to match the driving input and conditions in front of you. It guides you to a good compromise between The driver can also adjust the wing directly using one of his four rotors mounted on his wheel with race-inspired steering. The other rotor controls the height of the lifting system and the car’s whopping 13 driving modes to choose from.

Other systems that improve the Revuelto’s performance include a semi-active wishbone suspension that works in tandem with active aerodynamics, rear-wheel steering, and a redesigned Carbon Ceramic Plus braking system (10-piston front calipers and 4-piston rear). It is included.

It feels a little strange to focus on HMI and driver assistance in the context of Lamborghini, but even the fiercest bulls aren’t immune to a technology takeover. In the cockpit, both driver and passenger can view their ride his metrics using a combination of 12.3-inch digital instruments and his 9.1-inch thin dashboard display on the passenger side. Between those two screens is an 8.4-inch central infotainment display, and all three of his HMI screens are joined by one central “brain.” Drivers and passengers can quickly swipe through options to personalize the information displayed.

Other features include Amazon Alexa voice control, navigation with real-time traffic and charging point information, the included “Unica” app, emergency and roadside assistance, vehicle tracking with automated security communications, and wireless updates. will be The audio system features SiriusXM 360L and a searchable online radio system that gives you access to thousands of stations.

When it comes to driver assistance, the Revuelto still keeps both hands where the driver wants it (over the steering wheel), but it’s Lamborghini’s first complete ADAS with cameras, radar and sensors. The system supports adaptive cruise control, active lane departure warning, blind spot warning and rear cross traffic alert.

The world will have to wait for details on pricing, fuel economy, emissions and more, but in the meantime, if you’re interested, check out our photo gallery to see all of the blade-like edges and dimples on the Revelto and get your first action can be seen.
