The Volkswagen Revuelto is the Verge. The engine and cockpit of the electric V-12 in Axially-cooled Lamborghini
The machine that is fascinating is the Revuelto. According to the chief technical officer of the company, everything starting with the V-12. The V-12’s identity is important to us and we wanted a hybrid system that preserves it. The hybrid is there to support you and enable you to go faster. You will not recognize that it’s a hybrid. On the move, it feels like a car that is 150 kilograms lighter because of the Torque Vectoring, and it will feel that way even when it isn’t moving. It feels like a smooth and precise movement.
The idea of replacing a beloved car with a car that plugs into an electrical outlet is going to make a lot of people’s minds spin. But time waits for no one. Electric is the future for Lamborghini and its parent company Volkswagen.
The electric motors on the front axle are oil-cooled axial flux units. Mohr and his team chose these because they’re more compact than radial flux ones and have a higher power and torque density. Each motor produces 110 kW and weighs 18.5 kilograms. Although the Revuelto has an electric range of about eight miles and can be driven silently in Città mode, Lamborghini is clear that the tech exists primarily to heighten the car’s performance and high-speed dynamics. The total power output is 1,001 bhp with the third e- motor above the gearbox. Top speed is 217 mph; 0-to-62 takes just 2.5 seconds. There is no word on emissions or fuel consumption.
Either way, the performance of the vehicle supports the large amount of talk. The coupe can accelerate from zero to 100kph (zero to 62mph) in 2.5 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds quicker than the Aventador it replaces. It might not mean anything to your average person, but for real performance heads, every tenth of a second speaks volumes. The Revuelto has a top speed of more than 200mph.
The cockpit and engine were the main focus of the design, but there were two lines that started from the front and hugged the cabin and exhausts.
Let’s discuss tech because it is The Verge. There is an 8.4-inch center display, a 12.3-inch digital cockpit and a 9.1-inch display on the passenger side. The Revuelto will also be the first Lamborghini to implement a full advanced driver-assist system, powered by cameras, radar, and other sensors. This includes active lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, lane change warnings, and rear cross-traffic alerts.
While using the Unica mobile app, owners can monitor the status of their car, including fuel level, battery charge, and where it is parked. The Unica app has a few functions that can be used with the Apple Watch, such as locking andunlocking doors, or sounding the horn.
The Lamborghini Plug-In Hybrid Revuelto: Early Predictions for a Future High-Speed Lane Change
It will also probably break your bank account, with Winkelmann telling Automotive News Europe that the Revuelto will cost about 500,000 euros, or $542,165.
With the Aventador set to become the plug-in hybrid Revuelto, the remaining models we have yet to see are the hybrid versions of the Huracán and Urus, which we’re likely to get later this year in August and October.
Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann claims that the company is on a path marked by four things: sustainability, digitalization, urbanization, and geopolitics. It is quite an high-speed lane change for the carmaker that has provided so much visual fuel for car obsessed teenagers the world over the past 60 years.
It should be. The company that made this Italian sports-car maker, whose annual turnover last year passed the 2 billion mark, reinvented the technology in such a way that the Revuelto is a plug-in hybrid. A semantic sleight of hand designed to distance it from the hybrid norm has been used to create the perception that the Revuelto is an HPEV. Performance is up by 30 percent and emissions are reduced the same amount. This hybrid is focused on broadening the car’s bandwidth as much as it is changing it to a V-12 hypercar in a more socially acceptable way.
At its heart sits a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 aided by three electric motors, two of which are mounted on the front axle, the third integrated into the all-new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. The e- motor on the ’box is both a starter motor and generator. Various revisions help the ICE to a power output of 814 brake horsepower at 9,250 rpm: It has been turned 180 degrees in the engine bay compared to the outgoing Aventador to accommodate the gearbox and e-motor, and at 218 kilograms weighs 17 less than before.
The central tunnel now houses a 3.8-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which consists of 108 water-cooled pouch cells. The battery pack is more likely to be refreshed under regeneration than on a power supply, so it’s important to know how small this pack is. The old-guard car culture may not be ready for the sight of a hypercar attached to an electric cord.
The Revuelto in Corsa and Sport Modes, a Prototype for the Supersymmetric e-Axle
The full 1000-plus kmph is served up by the e-axle in Corsa mode. There is a active rearaxle as well. The Revuelto promises to be more friendly than its predecessors on the limit, as the tempo increases. In sport mode, the new car will make the competent driver insane, even if he isn’t called adrift mode.
