The bull’s first hybrid boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 0.57 hp/kg and speeds exceeding 350 km/h – by CARLO PLATELLA
Posted on
Revuelto represents the first true expression of the Lamborghini hybrid. However, the latest creation from the Sant’Agata Bolognese company is much more than just the powertrain, with many noteworthy features. Among these, the suspensions with active ground clearance control and the rear wing adjustable in three different positions stand out. Also noteworthy is the compact, longitudinal shape of the battery, housed under the central tunnel to contain the polar moment of inertia and improve responsiveness when changing direction.
The innovations
The house from Sant’Agata Bolognese demonstrates that it conceives the hybrid as an exaltation of the heat engine, which has not been scaled down as in other hybrid exercises of the competition, including the Ferrari 296 GTB. The powerful V12 is in fact deliberately oversized, so that excess power helps recharge the small 3.8 kWh battery. In this, the rear electric motor proves to be fundamental, engaged on the dual-clutch gearbox and meshable in the same way as the mechanical gears. In addition to fulfilling the function of generator, the rear electric motor provides propulsion support and acts as traction control. Lastly, on the front end there are two other axial flux electric motors, decoupled from each other with torque vectoring functionality.
Another important new feature of the Lamborghini Revuelto is the chassis. There single fuse, this is the name given to the body, is made up of a carbon fiber ring bearing structure in the lower part. The front impact structure, on the other hand, is made entirely of Forged Composites, a particular printable composite material composed of short fiber carbon. All the technical characteristics of the first true hybrid Lamborghini follow.
