Lamborghini LB744: 1000bhp PHEV to be revealed today

New supercar mates a lighter V12 engine with a trio of electric motors to become most powerful Lambo yet

Lamborghini's first plug-in hybrid supercar, which will replace the Lamborghini Aventador, will arrive with a new V12 engine supplemented by three electric motors, producing a combined 1000bhp.

Set to be revealed tonight at 6pm, the LB744 will be the most potent Lambo in the firm’s history.

It ushers in a new electrification era for the Italian marque, while also allowing its signature V12 engine to “live on”, rather than being killed off by increasingly strict emissions regulations.

The LB744 will also debut a brand-new ‘monofuselage’ chassis concept, which the firm says will represent “a significant” step forward for the model’s driving dynamics and torsional stiffness.

The supercar, codenamed LB744, will be the first to feature a front end constructed entirely of carbon fibre, with energy absorption levels double that of the Aventador.

The Italian car maker says the monofuselage is 10% lighter than the chassis that underpinned the Aventador, weighing 20% less at the front alone. Torsional stiffness has also been uprated by 25%.

Its rear chassis consists of high-strength aluminium with hollow rear domes, which Lamborghini says reduces weight further, cutting the number of welding lines and bolstering rigidity.

New Lamborghini V12 Revealed Called Revuelto

If you have been paying attention to the Lamborghini teasers on social media, you would know that the 29th of March was a day to look forward to as we would get our first look at the successor to the Aventador.

Today is the day and here is the Lamborghini Revuelto (pronounced rev-ew-EL-tow). A two-seat hypercar that Lamborghini bills as the “near future” for high-performance motoring.

The centrepiece is undoubtedly the new 6.5-litre V12 engine which is supplemented by three electric motors to punch out 1,001 hp. This grunt is sent to all four corners via a new eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and an all-electric mode is available. Should you find yourself behind the wheel you will have no less than 13 driving modes to choose from.

This is an all-new V12 that is lighter and more potent than its predecessor. On its own it delivers 813 hp and 725 Nm (535 lb-ft) of torque.

The Revuelto features a new monocoque chassis that Lamborghini says is the first to have a fully carbon-fibre front structure.

Thanks to the impressive power it takes this Italian rocket just 2.5 seconds to hit 100 km/h (62 mph and under 7 seconds to hit 200 km/h (124 mph). Flat out, the latest Lambo will exceed 350 km/h (217 mph).

Lamborghini Revuelto is 1000bhp PHEV Aventador replacement

Hybrid successor gets 6.5-litre V12, three electric motors and lightweight battery pack to become most potent Lambo yet

The long-awaited successor to the Lamborghini Aventador arrives as the Italian marque’s first step into the electric age – albeit with the bulk of the Revuelto’s 1000bhp being drawn from a new 6.5-litre V12 powerplant.

The firm’s maiden plug-in hybrid supercar, originally codenamed LB744, is therefore the most potent Lamborghini in the car maker’s history and it delivers some eye-watering numbers: 2.5sec 0-62mph, sub-7.0sec 0-124mph and a top speed of more than 217mph.

This is down to a trio of 147bhp electric motors – one integrated into the gearbox and a pair at the front, one powering each wheel – that supplement the 814bhp V12.

Keeping this V12 was a battle, given the Volkswagen Group’s widespread move to downsizing and turbocharging, according to Lamborghini’s former chief technical officer, Maurizio Reggiani, who led the early development of the Revuelto.

Yet it was one that Lamborghini was able to win due to both overwhelming support from existing customers and the use of hybridisation to cut emissions.

Driving an all-new eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox mounted behind it, the new engine – turned 180deg compared with the Aventador's – is 17kg lighter than the one in the car it replaces but makes more power, delivering 814bhp at a searing 9250rpm, with the limiter not calling time until 250rpm later.

The battery pack sits in what would previously have been considered the transmission tunnel and stores a modest 3.8kWh of charge - good for an electric-only range of around six miles. The fact that the charging port is within the front luggage compartment suggests it is not intended to be plugged in very often.

However, the V12 can directly recharge the battery pack through the rear motor in a process that's claimed to take just six minutes.

This is the new 217mph, hybrid Lamborghini Revuelto hypercar

Lambo explores the bandwidth of electrification to deliver the ultimate driver’s hypercar... and 1,001bhp

Somewhere in Lamborghini’s library sits the bumper book of matadors and their nemeses. Its all-new hypercar is called Revuelto, a tribute to a fighting bull who was apparently quite the celebrity in the bullrings of Barcelona circa 1880. The closest English translation of the name is ‘mixed up’. "We thought it was a good way of explaining how we’ve blended the two souls of this car," Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann tells us, referring to the new car’s complex hybridised powertrain. Apparently, Revuelto is also a Spanish version of scrambled eggs, but we’ll let that pass.

A hybrid Lamborghini? It’s been on the cards for years, ever since 2014’s rather lovely Asterion concept (look it up if you don’t remember it), and the more recent limited run Sián. But this version of a hybrid isn’t for Uber drivers. Lamborghini insists on the abbreviation HPEV to describe the new car, for ‘high performance electrified vehicle’. Not that sexy, but it probably sounds better in Italian. Most things do. While there are definite efficiencies here, and a modest amount of pure electric running is available – around eight miles – this is Lamborghini exploring the bandwidth of electrification to deliver the ultimate driver’s hypercar rather than the world’s most exotic sledgehammer. Performance is up by 30 per cent, emissions reduced by the same amount.

More than ever, this is a Lamborghini that’s dominated by its powertrain. In a hellishly uncertain world, it’s good to know some things are inviolable. This time we’re talking naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12, aided by three electric motors, two of which are mounted on the front axle, the third integrated into the new eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. For the first time, this sits behind the combustion engine and is positioned transversely. The central tunnel is where the gearbox used to live, but it’s now home to the 3.8kWh lithium ion battery pack. That consists of 108, water-cooled pouch cells. The car can be plugged in and fully juiced up in 30 minutes on a 7kW power supply, but it’s much more likely to be replenished under regenerative braking. Something about a Lamborghini connected to a power cable feels a bit off to us, but by the time the fourth and pure-electric model line arrives in a few years’ time we’ll have made peace with the idea.

Have any of these "reviewers" actually driven the car or are they just making vroom vroom sounds?
