Following its debut in March this year, the Lamborghini Revuelto has officially been launched in India, with a price tag of Rs 8.89 crore (ex-showroom, India), and that’s before you start ticking any of the options. Lamborghini India has only managed to secure a few allocations and the first unit is expected to be delivered in the coming weeks. However, the brand is unlikely to take fresh orders as it had announced in June that the model was sold out until 2026.
- Revuelto has a combined output of 1015hp from V12 hybrid powertrain
- Plug-in hybrid system allows for electric-only range of 8-10km
- Only has Ferrari SF90 Stradale as a direct rival in India
The Revuelto replaces the iconic Aventador as Lambo's flagship and is the brand’s first series-production hybrid supercar. Fortunately, it retains the V12 motor at its heart and the characteristic wedgy design that Lamborghinis are adored for. We have already exclusively driven the Revuelto at the Vallelunga circuit in Italy, about which you can read here or watch the video here.
Lamborghini Revuelto engine and specs
No downsizing or turbocharging here, but there's a plug-in hybrid system. The Revuelto is powered by a glorious 6.5-litre, naturally aspirated V12 engine that’s coupled with three electric motors and a 3.8kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Lamborghini claims the new 6.5-litre L545 V12 engine is its lightest and most powerful yet, producing 825hp and 725Nm of torque on its own.
The combustion engine is coupled with three electric motors – two at the front and one above the gearbox – and together, they produce a combined output of 1,015hp and 807Nm of torque. The two motors on the front axle power each wheel, while the third motor assists the engine in driving the rear wheels, depending on the drive mode selected. Lamborghini claims a 0-100kph sprint time of 2.5 seconds and a top speed in excess of 350kph.
The power unit comes mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, replacing the archaic 7-speed single clutch unit on the Aventador. Thanks to the three electric motors, the Revuelto effectively gets all-wheel drive and can even be driven in pure electric mode for about 8-10km.
Lamborghini Revuelto exterior design
The design is unmistakably Lamborghini – it's sharp and edgy with extravagant details. Like with other modern Lambos, the signature Y-shaped motifs abound. At the front, the headlight and air intakes are set in massive Y-shaped enclosures, which also house the Y-shaped LED light signatures. The same light signature is also used for the tail lights, with a pair of high-mounted hexagonal-shaped exhaust ports sitting between them that expose the longitudinal engine.
In fact, the rear quarter view, with the exposed engine, is perhaps the best angle to look at the Revuelto. Flanked within the prominent buttresses, it really looks like a work of art. In profile, behind the front wheel arches are fins that channel air along the sides and into massive air intakes that feature an arrowhead-like outline. The Revuelto rides on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels, which also have Y-shaped motifs. As ever, Lambo’s signature scissor doors add even more visual drama.
A departure from the Aventador is the carbon-fibre fuselage and frame in addition to a lot of the bodywork. The front structure is also done in carbon fibre, which, along with weight reduction, also betters the Aventador's aluminium front frame in energy absorption.
Lamborghini Revuelto interior and features
Like the exterior, the interior is also influenced by the ‘Y’ design theme. The cabin has a pronounced carbon-fibre centre profile, with air vents and an 8.4-inch floating touchscreen. There’s also a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel display and a 9.1-inch passenger-side display, both of which can simultaneously show the same information.
The Revuelto has a swipe function that allows occupants to move applications and information from the central display to the side displays, much like a smartphone. While the three screens have eliminated most of the physical controls from the dashboard, there’s a handful of them retained on the centre console, along with the fighter jet-style starter button.
Conversely, the steering wheel is swamped with buttons to control just about everything. You can change the drive modes (13 of them, including electric 4WD), manage the hybrid system, adjust damping settings, operate the nose lift and even adjust the active aerodynamics.
Lamborghini says they have also paid attention to space on the inside, and the Revuelto offers 26mm more headroom than the Aventador Ultimae and 84mm more legroom. There’s additional space behind the seats to accommodate luggage as well as a compartment under the front hood that can hold two cabin bags. The seats on the Revuelto are also much larger and more comfortable than what you got on the Aventador.
