There’s some bad news if you’ve been planning to buy Lamborghini’s new flagship supercar, the 1,015-horsepower Revuelto. In a recent interview, the Italian marque’s CEO Stephan Winkelmann confirmed the Aventador successor is already sold out until the end of 2025. What that means is you’ll have to wait for at least three years to get your hands on the $900,000 V12 hybrid supercar if you manage to get on the waiting list now. Surprisingly, most of the current orders were placed unseen, much before the Revuelto was officially revealed by Lamborghini back in March. This level of hype is often only seen in the case of limited-edition supercars.
The Revuelto marks the beginning of a new chapter for Lamborghini, which will only sell cars with hybrid powertrains by the end of 2025. While the $3 million-plus Sián hypercar was the first model by the Italian automaker to come with a hybrid powertrain, it was introduced as a halo product limited to 63 coupés and 19 roadsters examples.
On the other hand, the Revuelto is a series production supercar added to the line-up as a replacement for the range-topping Aventador. In addition to its head-turning design, the hybrid supercar’s surprisingly high demand can be attributed to its jaw-dropping specs.
Lamborghini Revuelto – a series production model with hypercar credentials
Just like most famous Lamborghini models, the Revuelto is named after a famous bull apparently fought in Spain in the 1880s. While its striking design looks like an evolution of that of the Aventador, the Revuelto is a massive step up from the supercar it replaces. Under the hood is an all-new 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 that features a racing-style dry sump. Lamborghini claims it is the lightest, most powerful V12 ever produced by them, capable of churning out 813hp. The internal combustion engine is assisted by a trio of electric motors that increase the total output to a whopping 1001 horsepower, making Revuelto the most powerful production Lamborghini ever.
The motors draw power from a 3.8-kWh battery pack mounted between the seats that can be charged from a port inside the front luggage compartment. The hybrid powertrain technology will also be seen in the upcoming Huracan replacement, which will debut in late 2024 and reportedly feature a twin-turbocharged V8 engine assisted by multiple electric motors. While the Urus will also follow in the same footsteps towards electrification, the iconic Italian marque’s first full-electric model will only come out by 2028. As the company continues its transition towards electrification, purists and Lamborghini patrons have been quickly snapping up the last of the conventionally powered models. Winkelmann said that Lamborghini’s entire lineup is sold out for two years.
