If the measure of a true Lamborghini is its ability to leave onlookers in a state of shock and awe, then the new Lamborghini Revuelto has not only passed the test but has set the bar sky-high. At the NY Auto Show today, the Revuelto received its official stamp of approval as a Lamborghini, not through a press release or a CEO’s statement, but through the wide-eyed wonder of a child. Picture this: an 8 or 9-year-old kid perched atop his dad’s shoulders, hands plastered to his face, screaming ‘OH MY GOD WOOOOOOW OH MY GOD’ at the sight of the Revuelto. That, my friends, is the Lamborghini effect.
Lamborghini has a legacy of creating machines that are as much about the spectacle as they are about speed, and the Revuelto is no exception. Unveiled last March as the Aventador’s successor, it has already made waves, with the first examples delivered to customers late last year. The V12 Revuelto is off to a roaring start, with a waiting list stretching to late 2026. Yes, you read that right – place your order today, and you’ll be lucky to get your hands on this electrified beast before the next three years are up.
The Revuelto isn’t just any supercar; it’s the flagship product of Sant’Agata Bolognese, and it’s already sold out. Lamborghini’s sales last year broke records, with over 10,000 cars finding new homes. But the Revuelto’s success is particularly noteworthy, selling out while still in its core model phase. Hardcore variants and special editions are on the horizon, but with demand this high, they’re not likely to hit production lines anytime soon.
The Revuelto’s U.S. debut was nothing short of a VIP affair, with Lamborghini’s loyal customers, VIPs, and media gathered in New York to witness the marvel. CEO Stephan Winkelmann was there, too, sharing that customer deliveries are expected to begin before the year’s end. While pricing remains a mystery, estimates suggest a starting point around $650,000, a significant jump from the Aventador Ultimae.
But what makes the Revuelto the talk of the town? It’s a plug-in hybrid that boasts a brand-new 6.5-liter V12 engine, delivering a staggering 813 brake horsepower. Add to that three electric motors, and you’ve got a total output of 1,001 bhp. This puts the Revuelto in the same league as the original Bugatti Veyron, and it outmuscles the Ferrari LaFerrari. With a 0-62 mph time of just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph, the Revuelto is a force to be reckoned with.
But it’s not all about raw power. The Revuelto can glide through historic city centers in zero-emission mode, making it a surprisingly practical choice for an exotic car. It’s this blend of brute force and eco-consciousness that has the automotive world buzzing. As the Revuelto gears up for a larger audience at the 2023 New York Auto Show, it’s clear that Lamborghini has once again outdone itself. The fastest, most technologically advanced, and customizable Lamborghini in history is here, and it’s electrifying the supercar scene. If you’re lucky enough to get behind the wheel of one, prepare to be the envy of every kid – and adult – on the block. Because when a Lamborghini makes a child scream in delight, you know it’s something truly special.
