Lamborghini Revuelto: The V12 Learns to Share Power
Hybridisation has quietly reshaped almost every performance car segment, and this is the car that proved it could happen to Lamborghini's flagship without losing what makes a Lamborghini a Lamborghini.

Keeping the Theatre While Changing the Engineering
Whenever a brand built on drama and noise adds electric motors to the mix, there's an obvious risk of losing exactly what made people want the car in the first place. This is the test case for whether that risk was worth taking.
Engineering & Powertrain
A naturally aspirated V12 works alongside three electric motors in a plug-in hybrid arrangement, producing a combined output that comfortably exceeds anything the outgoing Aventador offered. It's only the second car in the marque's history to receive a unanimous top score from a major evo Car of the Year panel, a rare distinction for any manufacturer.
Design & Driving Character
Despite the added technology and complexity, reviewers have consistently described it as an accessible, manipulable car to drive quickly rather than an intimidating one — a deliberately engineered balance between outright theatre and genuine usability. It remains unmistakably a flagship Lamborghini in presence and sound, with the electrification adding capability rather than diluting personality.
Why It Matters
This car represents Lamborghini's answer to an existential question facing every performance manufacturer: how to keep flagship models emotionally compelling while meeting tightening emissions targets. The verdict from most major outlets has been that it succeeds convincingly, treating hybridisation as a genuine engineering opportunity rather than a compromise.
Value Today
As a current-production flagship, values track closely with new pricing and options, with strong demand meaning well-specified examples have shown little sign of the immediate depreciation that affects less sought-after supercars.
