With an unmistakable Lamborghini-like silhouette that may solely be related to the model, the Revuelto does no less than look the half. However for one obvious purpose, the Revuelto is sort of not like any previous Lambo. After all, the explanation why is that this one’s a plug-in hybrid. It isn’t a gentle hybrid like a Sián FKP 37 or the Aventador-based Countach revival, however one thing extra akin to a Toyota Prius Prime in drivetrain structure than an old-school supercar.
With a 6.5-liter 814-horsepower V12 engine to enrich a set of three electrical motors, a mixed output of 1001 horsepower matches one other iconic hypercar beneath the VW umbrella. Everyone knows the one. However right here, within the flesh, the Revuelto was nothing in need of dazzling in its look. Particularly when decked out in iconic Lambo-yellow paint, it is virtually like one can visualize the complete 60-year historical past of Lamborghini supercars within the finer particulars of the most recent model. It is all courtesy of blueprints created by the German auto designer Mitja Borkert, the identical man behind the look of the Porsche Panamera, the Boxter 987, and the above-mentioned Sián.
From each conceivable angle, the Revuelto oozes machismo in a method Lambo purists apprehensive would not translate effectively into the electrified design language compelled on the whole lot from the most affordable supermini to essentially the most beneficial hypercar. If there have been any questions concerning the Revuelto’s legitimacy in carrying the legacy of the Miura, Countach, Diablo, Murcielago, and the Aventador, take into account these issues thwarted from this level ahead. The one factor left to do now’s to search out somebody on the market mad sufficient to allow us to test-drive one. However not earlier than Mat Watson, Jeremy Clarkson, Doug DeMuro, and a couple of hundred different influencers get a flip first.
