NAMED AFTER an 1880s fighting bull, the Revuelto is the fitting heir to the Lamborghini Aventador which completed a historic 11-year run atop the hallowed Lamborghini lineup as its most potent sports car since it was launched in 2011. While technically not the first hybrid from the Sant’Agata Bolognese-headquartered super car maker (that honor belongs to the Sián FKP 37, rolled out in 2019), the Revuelto is the most powerful ever — developing an incredible 1,015cv of power (one cv equals 0.985hp).
It is the brand’s first super sports V12 hybrid plug-in HPEV (or high-performance electrified vehicle), and the Revuelto’s recent arrival in the Philippines represents the dawn of a new era in electrification here. The Revuelto features a “perfect balance between enhanced driving emotions and reducing emissions,” a tenet now available to local Lamborghini customers and fans. In terms of performance, the model is a true top-tier Lambo as it rockets from a standstill to 100kph in a scant 2.
5 seconds, and reaches 200kph in seven ticks — on the way to a top speed that is said to exceed 350kph. Making this possible is a powertrain comprised of a 6.5-liter V12 engine supplemented by three electric motors — helped along with a mass-conscious design that leads to a marque-best weight-to-power ratio of 1.
75kg/cv. This cements the Revuelto’s leadership in the super sports car segment. This is made possible in part with the hefty use of carbon fiber — produced via artisan.
