What the car is and where it came from
The Revuelto is a mid-engine plug-in hybrid sports car made by Lamborghini. It was unveiled on 29 March 2023 as the successor to the Aventador. Its name comes from a Spanish fighting bull that fought in Barcelona in the 1880s.
How it works, in terms someone would actually use
It uses a mid-engine plug-in hybrid layout: a 6.5-litre V12 engine paired with three electric motors. It is Lamborghini’s first true hybrid drivetrain — not a mild hybrid like the Sián or Countach LPI 800-4.
What it gets right
It establishes a new visual language with Y-shaped daytime running lights and main headlights at their top corners. It commits fully to electrification where earlier models only dabbled.
What it does not
It does not retain the Aventador’s naturally aspirated V12 alone. It does not use a mild hybrid system. It does not omit active aerodynamics or a carbon-fibre monocoque.
What it changed
It replaced the Aventador as Lamborghini’s flagship V12 sports car and introduced the brand’s first true plug-in hybrid system.
Who it is for, and who it is not
It is for buyers who want Lamborghini’s latest flagship V12 hybrid architecture. It is not for those seeking a non-hybrid, naturally aspirated V12 experience — that ended with the Aventador.
Is it worth your time
Yes, if you need to understand how Lamborghini redefined its flagship formula after the Aventador. No, if you are looking for empirical driving impressions — none are in the source material.
