LAMBORGHINI Manila has unveiled the highly anticipated Revuelto, the first super sports V12 hybrid plug-in high-performance electrified vehicle (HPEV) at the PGA Cars Studio in the Philippines. The launch of the Revuelto marks the beginning of Lamborghini’s electrification strategy, showcasing its innovative approach to design, performance and emissions reduction.

“The Revuelto represents a significant milestone in Lamborghini’s history and serves as an important pillar of our Direzione Cor Tauri electrification strategy. This iconic V12 HPEV delivers unparalleled performance with its exceptional electric torque vectoring and permanent four-wheel drive, ensuring that the Revuelto showcases its amplified qualities both on track and in daily driving. We are thrilled to present the Revuelto, our super sports V12 hybrid plug-in flagship, which strikes the perfect balance between driving excitement and emissions reduction for Lamborghini’s customers and fans in the Philippines,” said Francesco Scardaoni, director of Automobili Lamborghini Asia-Pacific Region.

The Revuelto is the sixth model in a long lineage of V12 supercars, which began with the Miura. While the V12 has always been a defining feature of the brand’s supercars, the one in the Revuelto marks the most significant leap forward yet. By adopting a hybrid — more specifically, a plug-in hybrid — drivetrain, the Revuelto ushers in a new era for Lamborghini.

This V12 is a 6.5-liter L545 unit, similar to the one used in the Aventador, but now produces an impressive 814 horsepower (hp) and 725 Newton-meters of torque, making it Lamborghini’s most powerful V12 to date. This doesn’t even factor in the three electric motors — two powering the front wheels and a third electric motor mounted on the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) driving the rear wheels.

These electric motors contribute an additional 178 hp, and in pure electric mode, the Revuelto operates as a front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicle. With its relatively small 3.8 kWh battery, it has a 10-kilometer electric driving range. The battery can recharge fully through intense driving or be topped up in just 30 minutes using a 7-kilowatt alternating current (AC) charger.

The electric systems, however, serve a purpose beyond reducing emissions — they also make the Revuelto faster than ever. The total system output is an astonishing 1,001 hp, enough to achieve 0-100 kph in just 2.5 seconds, 0-200 kph in under 7 seconds, and a top speed of 350 kph. The smooth eight-speed DCT, which replaces the single-clutch seven-speed semi-automatic with independent shifting rods (ISR), combined with the electrified drivetrain, makes the Revuelto a much more refined and hospitable supercar compared to the Aventador.

The new Lamborghini flagship also presents an opportunity to enhance its construction methods. Carbon fiber, produced with artisan craftsmanship at the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory, is the principal structural element in the new car, used not only in the mono fuselage and frame but also in most of the bodywork, apart from the doors and bumpers.

Cloaking this carbon fiber-intensive structure is a design that clearly evolves from the Aventador’s. The front end is dominated by large Y-shaped LED daytime running lights accompanying the main LED headlights, while large side vents feature a Z shape, giving the car a distinct profile. The rear end features large twin exhausts, while the V12 engine is proudly displayed.

Aerodynamic advancements also play a role in improving the Revuelto’s handling. There is a 33- percent increase in front downforce, while the large rear diffuser and active rear wing contribute to a 74-percent improvement in rear downforce. Another factor aiding its road-hugging capabilities is its weight — at 1,772 kilograms (kg) dry, the Revuelto is 222 kg heavier than the Aventador Ultimae.

Similarly, the interior of the 2025 Lamborghini Revuelto is an evolution rather than a complete reinvention. It features a new, simpler dash with a Y-shaped center stack that houses an 8.4-inch main infotainment screen. The driver gets a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster, while the front passenger has access to a third 9.1-inch horizontal screen. These three screens are controlled by one system, allowing for the seamless transfer of information and content between displays.

The materials inside the Revuelto are, as expected, exquisite, with traditional Lamborghini fighter jet-inspired design cues, such as the flip-up starter button, remaining in place. The gear selector features a U-shaped lever for reverse, and the steering wheel is inspired by the yoke-like design of Lamborghini’s Squadra Corse race cars.

Lastly, while this is undeniably a supercar, the 2025 Lamborghini Revuelto is designed to be easier to drive in busy city streets. It comes equipped with a full suite of advanced driver-assistance systems, including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alerts and lane centering, a reverse camera, and blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert.

The 2025 Lamborghini Revuelto has now arrived in the Philippines, ushering the flagship V12 Lamborghini into the electrified era. This marks a reimagining of the genre, demonstrating that the technologies of internal combustion engines and electric vehicles can be seamlessly fused to create an engineering masterpiece draped in an aggressively styled body.
