The easiest mistake to make with the Revuelto is to file it under the familiar category of reluctant hybrid supercars. That is not what Lamborghini has built here. This is not a V12 icon forced into electrification by circumstance; it is a flagship engineered so the old Lamborghini magic survives with even more urgency, more front-end response, and an even bigger sense of theatre.
The Revuelto's naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 produces 814 horsepower. Three electric motors — one on the rear axle alongside the V12, two at the front — add another 246 horsepower. Total: 1,001 horsepower. Zero to 100km/h takes 2.5 seconds. The Revuelto is the most extreme Lamborghini ever built.
And the soundtrack? Unchanged. The V12 screams to its redline with the same glorious rage that has characterised Lamborghini since the Miura. The electric motors are contributors, not replacements — they fill in where the combustion engine breathes, cover the corners of the performance envelope that a naturally aspirated engine cannot reach, but they never muffle or mediate the V12's character.
The Revuelto costs €500,000. It has a three-year waiting list. It will be remembered as the car that proved electrification and authentic driver engagement are not mutually exclusive.
