Lamborghini has replaced its Aventador supercar with the Revuelto, its first plug-in hybrid that includes more tech than ever, marking a big step for the brand in the same direction the rest of the industry is taking.
The Revuelto carries on the Lamborghini tradition of stunning supercars from its design of the plug-in hybrid powertrain to the hidden aerodynamic elements in the car’s Instagram-worthy styling.
Three electric motors, two powering each front wheel, and a third attached to the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Energy is stored in a 3.8-kilowatt-hour battery pack.
The electric motors are mainly assisting the combustion engine. Whenever the V12 fires up, the motors are mainly used to support it by filling in gaps in its torque curve.
Plug-in hybrid supercars arrived in a big way roughly a decade ago when the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918 Spyder all appeared virtually simultaneously.
Lamborghini isn’t ready to go all-electric, but after dabbling in electrification with the Sián FKP-37 and Countach LPI 800-4 hybrids, company brass felt the time was right for a plug-in hybrid.
Lamborghini's Chief Technology Officer Rouven Mohr noted that with stricter emissions regulations, persistent concern that European customers will eventually need some form of electric mode to access city centers, technological improvements, and their schedule for replacing models also made this the right time to launch a plug-in hybrid.
