A powerful new V12 pairs with three electric motors in the 2024 Revuelto, a high-performance electrified vehicle from Lamborghini.

••• Classic proportions achieve greater aerodynamic prowess thanks to increased e ciency and synergy of components, as well as re-imagined braking and brake-cooling systems.

The Aventador’s long-awaited successor has arrived in the 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto — and it’s not just a new shell with old bones. The Revuelto houses an all-new V12 engine, three electric motors, and a dual-clutch transmission.

Its brand-new frame and aviation-inspired monofuselage are made of carbon fiber for rigidity and to keep weight down, especially since the car now carries a lithium-ion battery pack. With so much novelty on board, it’s clear that Lamborghini’s internal-combustionpowered days are far from over.

Visually, the Revuelto implements a fresh design language for Lamborghini, although we’ve seen subtle hints of the “Y” motif in current models like the Huracán Tecnica. This latest flagship takes the motif further by incorporating it into its headlights, taillights, and wheels. Nods to the brand’s special-edition models, like the Centenario and Sian, are also apparent throughout the Revuelto’s styling. It’s not that the Aventador was subtle, but the Revuelto represents a very aggressive take on the carmaker’s iconic wedge shape, especially for a regular production model.

From the sharp creases on its carbon fiber hood to its angular side blades and enormous rear di user, the model is one of the most outrageous production Lamborghinis we’ve seen in years. It also retains its active air intakes and rear wing. Depending on the drive mode, the latter changes its angle and height for either efficiency or performance. Lamborghini claims that these aero improvements make the Revuelto 61 percent more e cient while o ering 66 percent greater downforce than an Aventador Ultimae.

The Revuelto’s powertrain is easily the most complex Lamborghini has developed yet. It starts with a new naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, which is 37 pounds lighter than the Aventador’s and rotated 180 degrees. It’s more powerful, too, producing 813 horsepower at 9,250 rpm and 535 pound-feet at 6,750 rpm without any electric assistance and redlining at 9,500 rpm.

However, this V12 isn’t alone. The Revuelto features two axial flux electric motors, each developing up to 258 pound-feet on its front axle, and a radial flux motor making up to 148 horsepower and 110 pound-feet out back. Total system output is 1,001 horsepower. With its tri-motor all-wheel-drive system, the Revuelto jolts to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds and 124 mph in under 7 seconds, topping out at over 217 mph.

The rear motor sits on top of a new eightspeed dual-clutch transmission, which Lamborghini claims isn’t just faster than the Aventador’s single-clutch unit, but also the Huracán’s snappy DCT. The Italian automaker developed the transversely mounted gearbox in-house to reduce its size, ensuring it integrates well with the rear electric motor. There’s no reverse gear either, as the two front motors take care of that task, helped along by the rear motor when needed. Its new transverse orientation also better accommodates the Revuelto’s longitudinally mounted lithiumion battery pack.

Lamborghini calls the Revuelto a “highperformance electrified vehicle,” referencing its electrified powertrain and the fact that it’s a plug-in hybrid. It houses a 3.8-kWh battery pack and can be charged in as little as 30 minutes at up to 7 kW. This means that aside from just making the Revuelto more powerful, the configuration also allows it to drive under electric power alone. Power is capped at

180 horsepower in this mode, but it’ll retain all-wheel drive thanks to its tri-motor setup.

Inside, the Revuelto features an updated cabin with an 8.4-inch vertical infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 9.1-inch passenger display. The main focal point, however, is its steering wheel, which is covered in buttons to handle a multitude of functions, from toggling drive modes to cruise control, indicators, and wiper controls.

One significant benefit of the Revuelto’s new architecture is that it’s larger inside, o ering an extra inch of headroom and 3.3 inches more legroom than an Ultimae with enough space for a golf bag behind the front seats. Despite adding its electric motors, the Revuelto retains its front storage compartment.

Lamborghini has yet to announce pricing or availability. However, given that the order books are already open, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Revuelto on the road before the end of this year.
