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.

The Hybrid V12 That Won a Unanimous Verdict

A naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 works alongside three electric motors in a plug-in hybrid arrangement, producing a combined 1,001 horsepower — comfortably exceeding anything the outgoing Aventador ever offered, with 0-62mph in around 2.5 seconds and a top speed beyond 217mph. Power drives all four wheels through an all-new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, a genuinely different layout to the Aventador's single-clutch automated manual it replaces. The reception has been remarkable for how little compromise reviewers found: evo's Car of the Year panel gave the Revuelto its first unanimous top score in over a decade, with testers specifically noting it as more emotional and instinctively likeable than its closest hybrid V8 Ferrari rival, the SF90 — a genuinely rare outcome for Lamborghini against Maranello on home turf.

Why the Waiting List Runs Into Years, Not Months

Demand for the Revuelto has consistently outpaced Lamborghini's roughly 1,200-unit annual production capacity for the model since it was revealed in March 2023. Within weeks of launch it was already sold out for 2024; that waiting list has since extended repeatedly, pushing new orders placed today toward a delivery date years away rather than months. It's part of a broader pattern at Sant'Agata — Lamborghini delivered a record 10,112 cars in 2023 alone, with the Revuelto as flagship playing a central role in that milestone — and it means the realistic route to driving one sooner is almost always the secondary market rather than a factory order.

What Actually Happens to Resale Value

Despite the waiting list, a Revuelto is still a depreciating asset once it changes hands — a genuinely useful thing for prospective buyers to understand before assuming scarcity alone guarantees a premium. One documented case saw an early owner pay $692,058 in 2024, drive the car 1,465 miles over two years, then sell it for $624,000 — a loss of roughly $68,000 despite the multi-year waiting list still in place for new orders. It's a useful reminder that hybrid supercars, however sought-after at launch, still depreciate like cars rather than appreciate automatically like the rarest classics.

How Much Does a Lamborghini Revuelto Cost?

US pricing starts from around $608,000 before options, with popular colours, interior trim and carbon-fibre packages easily pushing a well-specced example well past $700,000. Used examples currently on the market span a wide range depending on mileage and spec, from the mid-$600,000s for lightly used cars up toward $850,000 for very low-mileage, highly optioned examples — pricing that, for now, sits close enough to new-car money that buying used mainly saves waiting time rather than money outright.
