This June, I took a pre-production Lamborghini Revuelto for a spin in Nardo. You blast off at 194 mph, and electric torque handles the curves. Now it’s really that easy.
feral felines. The Nardò Technical Center in Southern Italy is teeming with activities, like most pleasant spots in the Mediterranean. Adorable and content on a hot summer’s day, relaxing by the secret circuit that’s off-limits to the majority of people. One cannot not but wonder how intelligent they might be as they unleash the combined force of 1001 horsepower on the main straightaway. Four months prior to the formal press drive, Lamborghini invited three magazines, including Road & Track, and offered an equal number of trackable pre-production Revueltos to the fortunate ones. No backups. It was either hit roadkill at 200 or nothing.
Lamborghini’s most intricate and costly creation to date, the Revuelto is evidence of the company’s present dominance in the Volkswagen group. People in Emilia-Romagna talk, as they do everywhere, and in any case, the proportion of engineers in Northern Italy is significant. If you’re a talented employee at Lamborghini now, it’s likely that you were formerly employed by Ferrari or Maserati.
We as a whole need these discussions, since, supposing that Lamborghini chooses to keep the V-12 alive for one more expanded ten years, so will Ferrari, utilizing each stunt to fulfill the ongoing political and social environment. Maranello is forceful with its innovation, so consequently, the Revuelto brings a great deal to the table past the module crossover mark and badly designed charging port that no one will at any point utilize. There’s compelling reason need, since passing on it to the front pivot engines or the V-12, the 3.8-kWh battery gets full after only six minutes of driving. There’s an e-mode for urban areas, turn around is by the front pivot or both, and all-wheel drive is likewise accessible in unadulterated electric mode.
The normally suctioned dry-sump twelve-chamber currently creates 814 hp near its 9500 rpm redline. It’s likewise 37 pounds lighter than the Aventador’s V-12. Helped by the threesome of electric engines, there’s no actual association between the two axles, yet all-wheel drive stays dynamic even at maximum velocity, which is more than 217 mph.
Nardò has been exceptionally high on my list of must-dos. The crazy 7.83-mile ring should be visible from space. Worked in 1975 by Fiat, it was repaved and made more secure by current proprietor Porsche Designing in 2018 so groups could accomplish a limit of up to 255 mph while cornering. Less popular, Nardò’s Taking care of Track was inherent 2008 by the past watchmen of the spot, the Prototipo Gathering.
It’s a 3.86-mile small scale Nürburgring, with seven right-hand corners and nine to the left. It highlights extraordinary height changes, and, surprisingly, a little leap taken at more than 120 mph. Ferrari has Fiorano, however numerous different producers pay Porsche great cash to approve vehicles here.
For its quicker models, Volkswagen involves Monza for brake testing, Ehra-Lessien for maximum velocity and other alignment runs, Nardò for dealing with arrangements as well as discharges testing on the ring, Sweden for all-wheel drive, and only three times each year, the Nürburgring for extra tweaking and record endeavors.
Work on the Lamborghini Revuelto’s novel design started in 2019, and the first pre-series vehicle left the processing plant in August 2022. The more you consider it, the more stunning the image gets.
At this early drive occasion, I was permitted to annoy Lamborghini CTO Rouven Mohr, Head of Plan Mitja Borkert; Head of Vehicle Advancement Victor Underberg of previous Audi Game popularity; UX and Visual Planner Luca Proglio; what’s more, Research and development boss Davide Bizzarri, who is Head of Vehicle Movement and Energy the board. What does that try and mean? It focuses towards the way that Davide burned through nine years at Ferrari prior to making a beeline for McLaren for another nine. He then left Woking for Lamborghini only quite a while back. At the end of the day, Davide Bizzarri had something to do with pretty much every major supercar of the most recent twenty years, with a unique accentuation on cross breeds. LaFerrari, the P1, the new Artura, and so on.
From our talks, I discovered that the 165-pound battery pack found where the transmission used to be is made by Valmet and highlights LG Chem pocket cells. The front e-engines — which fire up to 3500 rpm and produce 147 hp — are provided by Yasa. The back pivotal transition engine from Mahle fires up to 10,000 rpm and furthermore makes 147 hp. That fire up cheerful unit is coordinated into the eight-speed, transitionally mounted DCT behind the motor. This new wet twofold grip transmission is made by Dana, and Lamborghini will likewise involve it in the Huracán’s replacement, which will probably get an electric V-8.
The group had a current Aventador SVJ to show what has changed since the Nürburgring record of 2018. The past V-12 has developed a ton in 11 years, and both the SVJ and the last Ultimae vehicles are exceptionally captivating and able privileged Batmobiles. That is thanks to their all the more impressive motors, back hub controlling, a lot firmer suspension, and shrewd dynamic air. With such enhancements installed, driving an Aventador hard on a most optimized plan of attack just shows how this age actually loves to move around under weighty slowing down, shock you with the force conveyance of the Graziano single-grasp programmed, or understeer into and oversteer out of troublesome corners. You must be on your toes.
Actually, I love that about late Aventadors, in light of the fact that the rush made by the blend of energy, brutality, and show helps me to remember my similarly excited drive of the last Countach made, the popular silver 25th Commemoration.
In the event that the Aventador’s subject is to tame it, the Revuelto’s is to push it, on the grounds that the all-new, lighter, and more unbending carbon fiber stage takes quick heading to an unheard of level. It starts with the consistently dynamic front pivot that provisions up to 187 hp to the blend in Corsa mode, for as long as ten seconds with the battery over half of charge. Then, at that point, go on with force vectoring that remembers fleeting shifts for the rotational course of the wheels. Moreover, the drivetrain utilizes overabundance force after takeoff, and afterward ABS energy to charge the battery. The framework can arrive at up to 0.3 gs in regenerative slowing down alone, which assists keep with slowing down temperatures under control.
By and by, you’d hope to feel a portion of this going on, yet everything comes through so normally. Lamborghini endeavored to guarantee short and straight pedal travel, an unmistakable nibble point for the brakes, and moderate controlling with a negative slope for better impression of as far as possible. Engineers say we shouldn’t see what the frameworks are doing by any stretch of the imagination.
What we can pay heed to is that — with 814 hp from the ignition side and one more 188 hp from the electric engines — there will never be a lack in speed increase. However the genuine wizardry occurs in the corners, where the Revuelto remedies botches, dispenses with understeer, and pulls itself towards the following straight as though decelerating 3906 pounds of a mid-motor banner vehicle again and again is no difficulty by any stretch of the imagination.
There’s a prescient calculation working diligently, 70% more taking care of downforce by and large, and afterward a 20 percent higher push in definite speed increase. In layman’s terms, the Revuelto simply continues to get quicker, paying little heed to how close you get to 9500 rpm in 6th stuff.
The exhibition of this 6th era vehicle is so high straight out of the case, I can consider what a S, a SV, a SVJ, a Jota, or maybe a Wallace version could be like. I’m expecting something a smidgen seriously startling, since, supposing that anything, the Revuelto feels too simple to even consider living with contrasted with its strong and not unexpected threatening ancestors. That is until you draw in the burnout mode, which switches off all babysitters, and permits you to move and control the back pivot while smoking the vast elastic at up to 87 mph in third stuff.
Lamborghini fostered the DCT’s product in-house, investing a great deal of energy in the test system. The smaller eight-speed hosts perfect get-together deceives, such as holding fires up at a similar level for the smoothest downshifts. Contrasted with the Aventador’s obsolete robotized manual, the new Dana is lightning-quick and exceptionally easy. This cross over format of the DCT was important to hold the wheelbase under control. It actually grows three inches longer to give a more open lodge than the Aventador’s. The focal point of gravity additionally pushed ahead, halfway on account of the thick battery in the focal passage.
Outwardly, Nelson Simões and Mitja Borkert wrote a vehicle that is scarcely inside guidelines. That is the reason the back bumper uncovered a segment of the enormous tires, and why the V-12 is currently totally presented to the components. It’s a cool plan flaunting the merchandise, and given the produced heat, how much downpour a Lamborghini for the most part sees ought to vanish fine and dandy.
Every one of the sharp points feel right, the position and extents are unadulterated Lamborghini, the hexagons are conspicuous, and the exhaust is presently more limited than at any other time, in spite of being worldwide guaranteed without the high-pitch-killing particulate channel.
Inside, the new lodge offers more leg and shoulder room, yet in addition the most recent in diversion and solace capabilities, remembering a screen for front of the traveler.
Driving this model at high speed around Nardò’s really unique Taking care of Track was a flat out honor, and with Revueltos previously sold out for something like two years, I wouldn’t wager against this more available V-12 beating past creation records over the long haul. Lamborghini nailed it, and keeping in mind that there’s a ton to like about the crudeness of its ancestors, the Revuelto’s genuine exhibition is a shocking gauge for anything that quicker, more stunning variations Lamborghini will unavoidably send off.
