Lamborghini Revuelto Review: Perfect Harmony

With the argument of a new era of hybridization in the automotive industry, more and more manufacturers integrate electric propulsion in their ranges. The light hybrid systems are well established and the more beneficial rechargeable hybrid systems continue to be better and better. Even Lamborghini participates in the last wave of hybridization, which could surprise some.

This is because the bizarre supercars of this Italian company have never been considered economical, nor trying to make a thrift store. They have always returned a fuel saving of the old truck type thanks to their voracious engines at 10 and 12 cylinders. And their innate ability to ensure that people behind the steering wheel lead them as ineffective as possible does not help either.

But by God, it is a reality in The Lamborghini 2025 rushedThe best model powered by V12 from the Italian brand. Its rechargeable hybrid system is mainly there to increase sensations, but surprisingly, it can also return a respectable fuel economy without inconvenience of its experience of voracious driving. Here is how $ 612,858 (before the expensive options) of Lambo machines in our current high performance golden age.

Lamborghini does everything possible to call the Revuerto its very first rechargeable hybrid HPEV (high performance electric vehicle), and it is really: a 3.8 kWh battery sends juice with two ACA engines mounted on the front axle, and another attaché to the double clutch gearbox with eight transversal speed. By default, the Mighty Lambo comes to life without lighting its engine, sending energy to the front engines rather to save (there is no reverse), as well as offering up to five Miles de range EV only.

This may seem comically low, but since only 30 normal driving miles can completely go up, it is more useful than it could be supposed. If I was allowed to do more mileage for my press loan, I would have loved bringing the battery to the highway, pull the engine until it is recharged and repeat the process until the tank is low.

After all, it is evaluated at 23 MPGE – 12 handsets without hybrid assistance. The latter barely beats his Aventador predecessor And means that this thing includes a tax on gas boys of $ 4,500 so as not to comply with minimum energy efficiency standards. Few phev can claim this honor.

That said, I was pleasantly surprised by the ease with which it was easy to approach 23 mpge. On a section generally without traffic of 15 miles from the Los Angeles motorway with a radar cruise control set at 75 mi / h, I was able to easily exceed 21 Mpge. Not only that, he prioritized EV propulsion to spend slower cars while the engine was sleeping at a very calm 2,000 rpm in eighth speed. Despite significant road noise, this brutal supercar was rather relaxing on the highway. But to leave and go to Twier Blacktop at the top in the mountains of San Gabriel in California, he quickly became anything but.

As the Revuerto is the flagship supercar of Lamborghini, the specifications are crazy: its V12 with natural suction of 6.5 liters shouts at 9,500 rpm and produced 814 horsepower and 535 lb-ft of torque. The three engines contribute up to 296 hp and 364 additional LB-PI, reaching a maximum total power of 1,001 hp and 1,044 lb-ft of torque. You can never know from behind the wheel that this thing weighs 4,290 pounds, because 0-60 MPH occurs in just 2.5 seconds, and 150 arrive in less than 10.

If the main reason for hybridization is pure excitation, then I’m here for that. Lancing out of the line, you feel that the engines strike over the V12, and once the Tachon needle has reached the middle of the range, all the hell stands out in a wonderful fluid electrons harmony and burning the fuel.

The Revuerto does not hold back in its quest for filling the cabin and several blocks of the city in both directions, with glorious V12 music. It is constantly entertaining, whatever the mode and the diet, a cruise even slightly between 3,000 and 4,500 rpm. I was never as happy to have a ringtone in my ears that I was making her fuel tank of 22.5 gallons twice in a weekend.

The push in the seat while tearing the line is also something special. I had the honor and the privilege of driving fascinating equipment during my mandate in automotive journalism, but it takes the cake for Savgerry All-Out. They are transparently moves from effort to crime offenses, and once it is time to slow down, a slight slurnichard and sharp gearbox puck The noises make the downgrades of the GT3 racing car, GT3. Everything is intoxicating.

The Bolognese brand has not only rendered the journalto faster and possibly more test. Active aerodynamics sitting at the top of the rear deck to help it cut in the air 66% more effectively, as well as to bleed the speed. Carbon fiber and aluminum include its chassis and body, which makes it 10 percent lighter and 25% more rigid than its predecessor. Combined with a mixture of adaptive shock absorbers and independent double -track suspension, its rectangular battery package mounted in what was previously called the transmission tunnel, all -wheel drive, plus its layout of the average engine, this thing is a monster on corners.

Ideally, the switching between the parameters of the shock absorber and the engine, as well as the driving modes, was quite easy because they are all made on the steering wheel. I have never been a big fan of complications here, but the Lamborghini method works very well.

The management itself had a decent weight in turns and sufficient communication, a privileged frontal response, and above all, the perfect relationship for high performance driving. It was so pleasant to be very tilted in the Lambo sport seat (it was very necessary, because the margin is a large bonus for large people), hands -on and three, and to enter a dizzying rhythm of sculpture of corners at a breathtaking speed. Although the power performance was ruthless, it was quite easy to danger with smooth entrances and reflected downshifts, which were not as frequent as other exotic dishes thanks to the red line of the engine heaven.

The end result was to reach well -trained mountain monuments in a scandalous time. While experimenting with immensely good quality of driving in its more rigid or softer shock absorber – a testimony of the quantity of engineering has entered the frame of the chassis of this beast.

The Lamborghini Revuelto 2025 is different from everything I have ever led before. I may not have adapted very well inside, the back of the seat may have been designed for someone a shorter foot than me, but it was really worth it.

Not only does the feeling of a V12 screaming 6.5 liters behind me something beautifully unique, but behind the whole drama was an extremely powerful chassis in its grip and athletics. Then, its unequaled mixture of ferocity in 12 cylinders more hybridization created a good time harmoniously hilarious. He even made the admirable fuel economy numbers for a supercar, if I wanted to … But I have not yet done so, because his consumption has proven to be one of the wisest financial investments of all time.
