Lamborghini Has Created A Ferocious Yet Harmonious Supercar With The Revuelto, First Reviews Reveal

The first reviews of the Lamborghini Revuelto have arrived and it appears to be the finest V12-powered supercar the Italian marque has ever produced.

As we all know, the Revuelto is the successor to the beloved Aventador. The Aventador has long been adored for its brash styling and wild personality but it’s never been known for particularly impressive handling. Thankfully, the Revuelto is able to combine crazy styling with a driving experience that can now compete with the very best from Ferrari.

These reviews from Top Gear and Auto Trader both make mention of how much better the Revuelto handles than the Aventador. Top Gear’s Jack Rix notes that all the components work together “harmoniously” and that there is an extra level of refinement over previous Lamborghini supercars. While he mentions that the steering is a little too light for his taste, he is full of praise for the car.

Then there’s the powertrain. Unlike the Ferrari SF90 Stradale which uses a twin-turbocharged V8, the Revuelto has a screaming, naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 that has much more character than that V8. Supplementing this engine is a trio of electric motors that combine to produce 1,001 hp. That figure results in neck-snapping performance and fires the car down the straights.

Both Top Gear and Auto Trader also praise the car’s braking, noting that there is no noticeable changeover point between the regenerative and the mechanical brakes.

Then there’s the dual-clutch transmission. It replaces the single-clutch system found in the Aventador and is significantly smoother and quicker, making the Revuelto feel that much more modern. When driven in Corsa mode, the transmission still provides a visceral kick, adding to the driving experience and making it much more exciting.
