Lamborghini’s highly-anticipated Revuelto supercar is on the brink of reaching eager customers, but it recently underwent a thorough examination by Lamborghini’s factory racing maestro, Andrea Caldarelli, at the serene Vallelunga circuit.
In a video release by Lamborghini last Friday, Caldarelli showcases his adeptness behind the wheel of the awe-inspiring 1,000-horsepower plug-in hybrid beast.
The Revuelto stands as the newest addition to the prestigious lineage of Lamborghini V-12 supercars, with Caldarelli being one of the esteemed drivers set to commandeer Lamborghini’s groundbreaking SC63 LMDh race car in the forthcoming year. His mission: to compete fiercely in the 2024 IMSA SportsCar Championship within the GTP class. But that’s not all; the SC63 will also engage in the Hypercar class of the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship.
Caldarelli, profoundly impressed, shared his thoughts after his exhilarating spin: “The Revuelto is a truly extraordinary supercar which is capable of expressing uncommon power but also excellent drivability on the track.”
While the Revuelto may appear reminiscent of its Aventador predecessor, it signifies a complete overhaul, encompassing electrification, a novel carbon-fiber chassis, an innovative 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and a freshly engineered V-12 powerplant. In order to accommodate the production of this marvel, Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese facility in Italy underwent substantial upgrades.
Under the hood lies a formidable 6.5-liter V-12 engine paired with a trio of electric motors. Notably, two electric motors are located at the front axle, operating independently, while the third is seamlessly integrated with the rear-mounted transmission. The performance figures are jaw-dropping, with Lamborghini quoting a blistering 2.5-second sprint from 0 to 62 mph and an awe-inspiring top speed of 218 mph. Adding to the Revuelto’s versatility is a 3.8-kwh battery, promising a limited electric range. It is worth mentioning that a similar powertrain configuration, likely featuring a twin-turbocharged V-8 instead of the V-12, is expected to grace the plug-in hybrid successor to the Huracán, slated for release late next year.
While Lamborghini has yet to divulge the pricing details for the Revuelto in the U.S., it has been priced at approximately 500,000 euros (equivalent to roughly $530,000) in other markets. The highly-anticipated deliveries are set to commence in the fourth quarter of 2023. Prospective buyers should be prepared for a wait or potentially consider acquiring the vehicle on the secondary market, as Lamborghini’s production allocation for the next two years is already fully accounted for.
