DESIGN DNA While Revuelto delivers a quantum leap in automotive, the heritage of previous V12 legends is unmistakable. The 1971 Countach prototype defined the Lamborghini sports car and intro- duced one of the most distinctive Lamborghini elements: the vertically opening scissor doors, which contribute to the character of Revuelto. The new car references the incomparable pro- portions and distinctive floating blade on the rear fender of the Diablo, while the muscularity and inclined front of the Murciélago are fully evident. Ultimately, the Revuelto is adrenaline made visible. INTERIOR APPOINTMENTS The cockpit lives up to the name, with a spaceship vibe. Two seats only – if you want a Lamborghini with room for four, get a Urus. The steering wheel is mission control with four rotors on the steering wheel to control drive modes and more buttons to activate turn signals and initiate launch control. The good news is, there’s more headroom and legroom than the previous Aventador, and space behind the seats can hold a golf bag. The frunk will swallow a couple of carry-on-size bags.
AERODYNAMIC CONTROL The aerodynamics synch with the semi-ac- tive wishbone suspension through the model-ex- clusive Lamborghini Vertical Control system. The system electronically manages vertical force exchanges, such as sudden load transfers during track driving, interfacing with the suspension and rear wing in real time. DRIVING EXPERIENCE Engineers thoughtfully developed the Re- vuelto to deliver absolute excitement and con- trol in all grip conditions. The new architecture features nearly neutral weight distribution (44% front, 56% rear), resulting in athletic balance that makes the Revuelto extremely agile both on the road and in the curves of a circuit. Thanks to the e-axle, the Revuelto introduces electric torque vectoring to elevate the car’s agil- ity in slow-speed sharp corners as well as its stabil- ity in high-speed situations. Torque is distributed as needed, in cooperation with the four-wheel steering system. Unlike conventional systems, torque vector- ing intervenes on the brakes only when necessary for a more natural driving style and to bolster the driver’s confidence. During braking, the e-axle and rear electric motor assist in deceleration, reducing
stress on the brakes while recharging the battery. It rides on specially developed Bridgestone Po- tenza Sport tires. For those drivers who are experienced or brave enough, the electronic stability control can be disabled to experience maximum power with- out active safety limits. Feel the thrill of a standing start at full power via the launch control function, which is activated by holding down the button in the center of the left rotor on the steering wheel. INNOVATION ON THE LINE Behind the Revuelto’s innovative design are innovations in manufacturing. While the Revuelto is a highly customizable hybrid car, it’s built using traditional handcrafted skills. Engineers created the Manifattura Lamborghini Next Level, a pro- duction system with people always at its core but adapted to deliver a much more complex product and to integrate new processes. The assembly line synthesizes manual skills and innovations, significantly reducing the pos- sibility of error along with greater production speed, benefiting build quality. The base price of the 2024 Revuelto starts at $895,000, but the first two years of production are already reserved.
