Known for engineering high-revving V12s that scream through gears, Automobili Lamborghini established success in the supercar sector by implanting 12-cylinders into icons like the Miura, Countach, Diablo, Murcielago, and Aventador. While those historic models are now past their production period, Lamborghini begins its transition into the EV world with the introduction of its Revuelto hybrid plug-in supercar. The Revuelto eases into the industry by utilizing a brand-new 1,001 horsepower V12 that pairs perfectly with two axial flux electric motors. Lamborghini took to YouTube to explain some of the technical challenges they faced while making the transition to the world of electric vehicles.
Lamborghini’s innovative driventrain increases overall power by 30% and decreases CO2 emissions by 30%, which demanded an array of modifications to achieve the milestone. The most challenging aspect of designing the new Revuelto was weight distribution and relocating the additional battery components to work in the supercar’s favor. The new sihlouette integrates essential hybrid elements and aerodynamic features while still mainting a recognizable Lamborghini presence. The engineers also dicuss some hidden hints from past Lamborghinis that help pay homage during its forward push the the future of supercars.
