Imagine this, but from every angle.

This morning, Lamborghini ripped the covers off its all new flagship: the Revuelto. This incredible looking machine is the Italian brand’s first plug-in hybrid and packs a V12 engine paired with three electric motors to kick out more than 1,000 hp. If anyone was worried about how Lamborghini would go eco, I think this will quell any concerns they might have had.

The new car is exactly what we want from a Lamborghini hero car. It has a fighter jet-inspired design, some crazy performance figures and looks that put it in prime “bedroom wall poster” territory.

If you want to find out everything there is to know about the Revuelto, then we’ve got you covered right here. But, if you just want to take it all in and see how it looks from every angle, then here is the place to be.

Lamborghini Revuelto: In Profile

The bodywork on the Lamborghini Revuelto is mostly made from carbon fiber. Its construction sees lightweight body panels fitted to a brand new carbon fiber frame and monofuselage, which was developed specifically for the Revuelto. This means it’s light, and Lamborghini claims it weighs just 3,900 pounds.

1,001 HP of Hybrid V12 Loveliness

But just because it’s pretty light doesn’t mean Lamborghini has skimped on the power. Oh, no.

The Revuelto has a 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 813 hp. As if that wasn’t enough, the Italian firm then strapped two electric motors to the front wheels and a third to the car’s eight-speed double-clutch gearbox. All in, this means the Revuelto produces 1,001 hp.

It’s What’s Inside That Counts, My Friend

The interior of the Revuelto is suitably Lamborghini, with lots of fighter jet-inspired trimmings and carbon fiber flourishes.

Looks Wheely Good

The front wheels on the Revuelto house a set of carbon ceramic disc brakes with 16-inch rotors, while the rears are fitted with 15-inch rotors.

The Only Acceptable Unconventional Doors

Everyone is trying to make their doors stand out these days. But on anything other than a Lamborghini it risks looking corny.

Start Me Up

I challenge you to find me a more satisfying button to press.

What’s Lurking Over There?

The naturally aspirated V12 has been a hallmark of Lamborghini’s flagship models since the 350 GT from the 1960s.

I’m Angry

The Revuelto looks angrier than the Aventador and the Murciélago ever did.

Count the Screens

There are three screens in the Lamborghini Revuelto: a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, 8.4-inch central display, and a 9.1-inch display.

Intake a Moment

Someone said this air intake is “a leeeeeetle Corvette,” but are we convinced that’s a bad thing?

Who Makes This Car?

I wonder just how many Lamborghini logos you’ll find across this car.

The Beating Heart

Is it a brake light, or is it just to show off the Lamborghini V12 back there?

Y Is It Like This?

The Y-shaped headlights are slowly making their way onto every car in Lamborghini’s range, and I dig them.

Where the Magic Happens

Lamborghini says the steering wheel on the Revuelto was inspired by the world of motorsport. Specifically, it harks back to the track-only Essenza SCV12.
