The Lamborghini Revuelto has made its much-awaited India debut at an eye-watering price of ₹8.89 crore (ex-showroom). Since Lamborghini has confirmed that the car is sold out till 2026, the Indian market is likely to get only a handful of unit allocations of the Revuelto, making it an ultra-exclusive collector’s purchase. The first customer delivery is expected in the coming weeks.
The Revuelto is the much-awaited successor to Lamborghini’s outgoing V12 flagship, the Aventador. It has been named after a Spanish fighting bull that stormed the arenas of Barcelona in the 1880s. It is also the brand’s first series-production hybrid supercar.
It is powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain that comprises a heavily reworked 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 (L545) and three electric motors – one integrated into an all-new dual-clutch eight-speed gearbox (debut on a 12-cylinder Lamborghini) and the remaining two set on the front axle. The motors are powered by a 3.8kWh Lithium-ion battery pack that sits in the erstwhile transmission tunnel. Due to its modest capacity, the battery pack enables an electric-only drive range of just 10km. The battery can be charged externally and through the rear electric motor, which also doubles up as the starter motor and generator.
In this configuration, the V12 is claimed to be the lightest and most powerful one to date, contributing about 814HP @ 9,250rpm and 725Nm @ 6,750rpm to the total output, which stands at a little over 1,000HP.
The results of these specifications are evident from the Revuelto’s performance figures. With a claimed top speed of more than 350km/h, the car can clock 0-100km/h in just 2.5 seconds. And it also promises a sub-seven-second run time of zero to 200km/h.
The Revuelto features a new aeronautics-inspired chassis concept called the mono fuselage, featuring a monocoque tub made entirely of carbon fibre. The Revuelto is also the first supercar fitted with a fully carbon fibre front crash structure. The extensive use of carbon fibre makes the Revuelto’s monocoque lighter and stiffer than the Aventador’s.
Coming to its design, the Revuelto draws on many familiar Lamborghini themes and keeps the signature wedge-style proportions. The sharp creases all across and the Y-shaped LED lights are an unmistakable reference to the Sián, which was the first hybrid Lamborghini.
The ‘Y’ design theme continues inside as well. A carbon fibre-heavy steering column, AC vents, and dashboard take centre stage. While the infotainment screen is a portrait-style 8.4-inch unit, the driver gets a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and there is a 9.1-inch passenger-side display as well. The latter two are also capable of displaying the same information.
