CAR magazine UK drives the new Lamborghini Revuelto with pictures, specs and driving impressions
Brand new models don’t offer fire off the Sant-Agata production line, so when they do it’s worth your attention. Not that the Lamborghini Revuelto has any chance of slipping under the radar. Bright orange and blessed with a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 , it’s got all the subtlety you’d’ expect of an Italian hypercar. But then, that’s how Lamborghini customers like it.
To fit everything in, the engine has been spun 180 degrees and is positioned longitudinally with the gearbox in a transverse arrangement – thus helping the centre of gravity. Meanwhile, the battery pack sits between the driver and passenger. Think of Tesla Model S combined with screaming Model S and you’re just about there. Any suggestion that the Revuelto is over 300kg heavier than the Aventador can’t be found here. The torque out of low speed corners is both instant and deliciously smooth. Electric torque vectoring on the front axle helps meter out the power to whichever wheel needs it most and ensures you can fire away incredibly cleanly .
What’s arguably more impressive, however, is the way the Revuelto hides its considerable mass in the corners. Even in 2023, a hypercar with a 1.9-tonne kerb weight jumps off the spec sheet and rings alarm bells, yet – on track at least – there’s no cause for alarm. Incredibly, the Revuelto feels lighter and more agile than the Aventador, especially in low-speed corners where the intuitive balance and rear-wheel steering provides off-throttle rotation aplenty.
