The Lamborghini Revuelto is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 petrol engine that produces 607 kW at 9,250 r/min and 725 Nm at 6,750 r/min, as well as a trio of electric motors and an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The Revuelto’s hybrid powertrain allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of more than 350 km/h. Short, electric-only drives are also possible with electric motors.

The Revuelto commands attention with dimensions of 4,947 mm in length, 2,266 mm in width (including mirrors), and 1,160 mm in height. Its lightweight structure weighs 1,772 kg, and it rides on bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires (265/35 ZR20 in front and 345/30 ZR21 in back) mounted on wheels with a wheelbase of 2,779 mm.

Underneath its striking exterior, the Revuelto has a “monofuselage” chassis made entirely of carbon fibre, as well as a front structure made of forged composites.
