With the automobile industry moving to include more eco friendly offerings, top luxury car brands have also began building electric and hybrid models. The latest one to offer such a model is Lamborghini, which has just announced its new hybrid supercar, the Revuelto.

The Revuelto directly translates to “scrambled” and features a hybrid design. Meaning, it can run on electric energy as well as conventional fuel. Lamborghini’s latest supercar can run in an all electric mode, but it won’t get you very far. As per official notes, the Revuelto offers a maximum electric only range of just 6.2 miles on a single full charge. In other words, it is clear that the hybrid vehicle is not meant to be driven as a pure electric only vehicle.

But there’s a twist, as the combustion engine can charge the small 3.8kWh battery on its own in just six minutes thanks to the regenerative braking system on the front wheels. The humble electric range isn’t a deal breaker since customers of such supercars don’t opt for these luxury sports cars for their range. The engines on these sports cars are designed to push the limits of speed and acceleration, and the one on the Lamborghini Revuelto can offer an impressive 814 horsepower at a 9,250 rpm.

It also houses a multitude of air intake ducts that are located throughout for improved airflow to the engine. This enables a power level of 126 horsepower per liter. According to the official press release, the Revuelto offers the “highest output in the history of Lamborghini’s 12-cylinder engines.” Talking about its design, we can see that the company took inspiration from the aerospace industry with its engineering, with hexagonal exhausts and angular lines across the body. The vertically opening scissor doors also made a return on this car.
