Lamborghini Revuelto

The first Lamborghini with hybrid drive delivers an incredible 1015 hp. A V12 combustion engine and three electric motors provide propulsion. Some technically unusual solutions ensure that so much force remains manageable.
GWe slowly leave the pit lane. The electric motors, two on the front axle and one in the rear of the Lamborghini Revuelto, hum in gentle anticipation of what may come. This means you could drive out of the garage on a Sunday morning without waking the entire neighborhood with the rumble of a twelve-cylinder engine. He crouches and lurks behind the driver’s seat, not to be missed at the first encounter, because nothing, not even a pane of glass, covers the two cylinder heads, under which the 6.5 liter displacement forms the V.
A small turn of a red wheel, conveniently positioned on the steering wheel, changes everything. We simply skip the Strada and Sport modes intended for civil aviation, choosing Corsa (Italian for “race”), and now the combustion engine sets the tone, the full system output of 1015 hp is now available. We could accelerate from a standstill to 200 km/h in seven seconds; beyond 350 km/h that would be the end at some point. But all theory is gray, because this super sports car cannot even be driven on a race track by an averagely talented driver.
