Launched Lamborghini Revuelto – 6.5 liter NA V12 PHEV with 1,015 PS featuring new 8DCT, three e-motors, ADAS

The LB744 from Lamborghini has officially got a name, and here it is – Lamborghini Revuelto, the successor to the electric car of Aventador First launched in 2011, the flagship arrives on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Italian brand’s founding.

The Revuelto is the first mass-produced V12 from supercar maker Sant’Agata Bolognese to feature electrification, especially a plug-in hybrid; The V12 hybrid supercar has appeared from Lamborghini before, even though it is a limited production version, 63 units Sián delivers electrification through a supercapacitor instead of a battery.

The power part of the powertrain combines with an all-new 6.5-liter, naturally aspirated, V12 petrol engine, producing 825 hp at 9,250 rpm and 725 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm. Codenamed L545, the new V12 with a limited 9,500 rpm replaces the L539 on the Aventador and has the distinction of being the brand’s most powerful 12-cylinder engine, at 218. kg, also the lightest engine; 17 kg lighter than the Aventador’s V12.

The transmission for the Revuelto’s V12 is a new eight-speed dual-clutch automatic, and the V12 rotates 180 degrees relative to the Aventador because the Revuelto’s transmission is now horizontally oriented and sits behind the engine to make room. for batteries packed in the center tunnel.

Electric drive on the Revuelto is thanks to a trio of engines – one 150 hp/150 Nm motor operates on the rear axle and the other two on the front axle, producing 150 hp and 350 Nm each. while providing torque vectoring to the front wheels; According to Lamborghini, each of the front oil-cooled axial flux motors weighs only 18.4 kg. All together, the Revuelto’s total system output amounts to 1,015 PS.

Collectively, the engines that make up the Revuelto electric all-wheel drive system and the 3.8 kWh battery are a vertically oriented pocket-cell package that occupies a space 550 mm long, 240 mm wide and 301 mm high in The aforementioned central tunnel, made possible by the lack of a traditional hub for the front axle, as the front-wheel drive here is all-electric.

The electric drive battery can be recharged from a single charge point with a maximum capacity of 7 kW and reaches full charge from a fully discharged state in 30 minutes. Alternatively, this can also be recharged via regenerative braking from the front wheels or directly from the V12 internal combustion engine in just six minutes, Lamborghini says.

The introduction of a hybrid powertrain in a mass-production Lamborghini also saw the introduction of three dedicated driving modes in the Revuelto; Recharge, Hybrid, and Performance modes combine with a selection of Citta (City), Strada, Sport and Corsa modes for a total of 12 available settings that the driver can select through two New design steering wheel rotary selector.

The default Citta or City mode is all-electric driving, and when the lithium-ion battery needs recharging and there’s no charging point, the Recharge powertrain mode activates the V12 to replenish the battery. In Citta mode, the suspension, powertrain and stability control are set for maximum comfort and limit the powertrain’s output to 180 PS.

Strada mode ensures that the V12 internal combustion engine is always on and continuously recharges the battery, and the front electric drive shaft supports torque vectoring for stability at highway speeds; The powertrain output power in this mode is 886 PS. Meanwhile, the Sport version lifts power to 907hp, with the V12 always on and in all three modes of Recharge, Hybrid and Performance, with suspension and aerodynamics set to enhance the agility of the vehicle.

Peak performance in the Revuelto is delivered in Corsa mode, where the entire 1,015 PS is deployed in powertrain mode Performance and hybrid systems are configured to maximize performance delivery of the electric powertrain in terms of torque vectoring as well as AWD, says lamborghini.

Corsa Recharge Mode allows for maximum recharging in a more active drive mode and enables stability control deactivation and launch control summoning from the central button in the side swing controller left. At its maximum performance potential, the Revuelto does a standard sprint of 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of over 350 km/h.

Wrapping the powertrain is a new ‘unibody fuselage’ chassis consisting of an all-carbon monocoque body and a special composite front structure made of short carbon fiber that has been soaked in plastic. This Revuelto single fuselage is 10% lighter than the Aventador’s chassis and the composite frontal structure is 20% lighter than its predecessor’s aluminum structure.

Torsional stiffness has been increased to 40,000 Nm per degree, or 25% more than the Aventador, providing a firmer base for the active parts.

Active aerodynamics in the Revuelto deliver a 61% increase in efficiency and 66% downforce in high load situations when compared to the Aventador Ultimae. They work in conjunction with the semi-active suspension to manage load changes related to suspension and rear wing performance in real time.

The trunk is a set of 21 or 22-inch wheels depending on spec, and these are custom Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires developed for the Revuelto. Standard equipment is a set of run-flat tires measuring 265/35R20 for the front wheel and 345/30R21 for the rear wheel, or 345/30R21 and 355/25R22 for the larger diameter option.

These houses have carbon-ceramic brakes with 10-piston monocoque calipers at the front and four-piston calipers at the rear; these clamps on discs measure 410 mm x 38 mm at the front and 390 mm x 32 mm at the rear.

A “performance combination” of 20-inch front and 21-inch rear tires of the same size is offered, which is a flat tire. For those who will be driving the Revuelto in the snow, the specially designed Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 tires can be specified.

Revuelto marks the first Lamborghini with the introduction of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and here the new flagship V12 features active lane departure warning, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control and rear cross-traffic alert, as well as adaptive headlights.

Inside, the infotainment system is equipped with three screens – a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, an 8.4-inch central display and a 9.1-inch display. This runs on a connected infotainment system that can receive over-the-air updates, and the Lamborghini Unica mobile app allows the driver to continue monitoring the vehicle for fuel level, battery charge, power range and its exact position when parked.

The Revuelto’s cabin carries a Y-shaped theme from the outside – as seen in its DRLs – and the ‘feel like a pilot’ philosophy applied to the dashboard is also based on the Y shape. In terms of space, The Revuelto offers 26mm more headroom and 84mm more legroom than the Aventador Ultimae, a run out version of its predecessor where the extra space can hold luggage ‘the size of a car’ golf bag’.

Materials used in the Revuelto cabin include Corsa-Tex fabric made from Dinamica microfiber and can be combined with leather when interior decoration is specified; Up to 70 color options are available. Meanwhile, up to 400 exterior paint colors are offered to the Revuelto.

The price of the Lamborghini Revuelto is yet to be confirmed, however it is said to be more expensive than the heavyweight Aventador SVJ, even in Revuelto’s debut form, according to car. Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann told the magazine that the first two years of customer allocation were planned.
