The V12 Lamborghini has been a staple poster baby for the supercar since ages. It may be argued that Lamborghini invented the supercar with the Miura whereas the Countach carried ahead that legacy in a wedge-shaped avatar. From then on, every V12 Lamborghini has been about its outrageous styling and the V12 engine. Nonetheless, with the period of electrification upon us, even Lamborghini needed to change albeit in its personal distinctive methods.
The Revuelto just isn’t merely the Aventador successor however the beginning of a revolution for the raging bull. With the Revuelto, all Lamborghinis can be electrified indirectly or the opposite, however this information isn’t tragic in any respect. The Revuelto makes use of electrical energy as a feral companion in elevating the flagship V12 Lamborghini to hypercar standing. A naturally aspirated V12 engine and three electrical motors end in a heady 1001 bhp in output. That’s Bugatti territory.
An 850bhp engine will get supported by three electrical motors powered by a lithium-ion battery pack whereas the large new Revuelto can also be a plug-in hybrid with an electrical solely mode with restricted vary. A brand new 8-speed twin clutch automated gearbox will add polish to the driving expertise which the Aventador’s single clutch unit might by no means have managed. The sooner gearbox and slick new mechanism additionally breathe in additional efficiency.
Talking of which the efficiency has been elevated with a 0-100 km/h time of simply 2.5 seconds whereas the top-speed is 350 km/h. Alongside the brand new powertrain, the flagship new Lamborghini embraces carbon fiber in not solely its body but additionally within the bodywork. That ends in an influence to weight ratio of 1.75 kg/CV. Whereas that may be a startling reality, one other new side with the Revuelto is its effectivity which has seen an enormous enchancment together with the truth that that is the primary electrical Lamborghini…type of that’s!
Like its predecessors, the Revuelto is all-wheel drive, however the know-how is cleverer now whereas aerodynamics governs the brutal aesthetics of the design. There’s a new lively rear spoiler too. Focus has additionally been placed on the braking, cooling and the packaging of the automotive with a compact new transmission and a slicker new gearbox. The Revuelto additionally will get new driving modes: Recharge, Hybrid and Efficiency.
Leaving apart all of the know-how and efficiency, we should contact upon the design of the Revuelto for the reason that V12 Lamborghini should adhere to the normal supercar styling e book greater than another automotive. A primary look confirms that the Revuelto may be very a lot a textbook Lamborghini with its angular strains and wedge form. The design has veered in the direction of a extra aggressive form considerably and is ruled by aerodynamics greater than its predecessors, however the shock and awe impact are very a lot there. The front-end is impressed by the most recent Lamborghini design language together with aerospace components and the love for hexagonal shapes. In-fact even the exhaust is hexagonal and positioned larger to make method for higher aerodynamics. It’s a extra sophisticated design however manages to cling onto the normal Lamborghini styling theme.
Inside, you continue to have conventional Lamborghini doorways which accompany each V12 bull however the inside itself has been reworked. There’s much more house now over the Aventador and there’s a lot extra know-how on-board as nicely. There’s a 12.3′ instrument cluster, 8.4′ central show, and as well as a 9.1′ show together with a bevy of 3D graphics. There’s much more customization now with a two-finger swipe and small particulars which have moved the ergonomics to a brand new stage for this carmaker. In an enormous change, the Revuelto can also be the primary Lamborghini to get ADAS (Superior Driver Help System).
Lamborghini has been coy concerning the value however anticipate a considerable soar take into account the Revuelto itself has moved up a number of notches when it comes to efficiency and know-how. In brief, the brand new V12 Lamborghini has modified however modified for the higher.
