The Lamborghini Revuelto represents a new era for the Italian automaker, combining a traditional V12 engine with hybrid technology in the brand’s first series-production plug-in hybrid model. The supercar, which succeeded the Aventador in 2023, is also Lamborghini’s first road-going vehicle to surpass 1,000 horsepower.
Before reaching the road with its wedge-shaped design and signature V12 sound, the Revuelto begins life at Lamborghini’s headquarters and factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. A video from FRAME provides a look inside the production process, from personalization through Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program to final assembly.
How Lamborghini Builds the Revuelto
The production of the Lamborghini Revuelto combines traditional craftsmanship with advanced manufacturing technology. Technicians manually arrange pre-impregnated carbon-fiber sheets inside precision molds, while CNC machining centers transform raw metal into finished mechanical components.
Large modular sections, including complete rear subframes, are assembled separately before being transported by automated guided vehicles instead of being installed piece by piece directly on the vehicle.
Workers also use ergonomic zero-gravity lifts to handle components of the hybrid powertrain. The Revuelto is powered by a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine combined with three electric motors, producing a total output of 1,001 horsepower.
Engineering the Revuelto’s V12 Sound
Because the Revuelto can operate in electric mode, Lamborghini faced a new challenge in maintaining the character of its V12-powered vehicles. Testing inside a semi-anechoic chamber helps preserve the recognizable Lamborghini V12 sound associated with models such as the Aventador and Murciélago.
During the design process, Lamborghini designers continue to use traditional tape drawings. In the upholstery department, artisans rely on industrial sewing machines to create interior details, including the brand’s signature hexagonal quilting.
Quality Checks Before Delivery
Lamborghini conducts multiple inspections throughout the Revuelto assembly process to ensure quality standards are met. Blue-light 3D scanners and coordinate-measuring machines are used to verify components and body panels.
Completed vehicles also undergo tactile inspections carried out by senior inspectors before they are delivered to customers.
Lamborghini Revuelto Arrives in the U.S.
U.S. deliveries of the Lamborghini Revuelto began in May 2024, with the model starting at more than $600,000. It currently sits at the top of Lamborghini’s series-production lineup, above the Urus, the brand’s best-selling model, and the Temerario, the successor to the Huracán that replaced the V10 engine with a hybridized twin-turbo V8.
The Sant’Agata Bolognese factory could eventually produce additional Revuelto variants and special editions. Reports indicate these may include a more track-focused version expected to bring back the SV badge, as well as a Revuelto Miura Edition marking the 60th anniversary of the Miura, widely considered the world’s first supercar.
A New Chapter for Lamborghini
The Lamborghini Revuelto combines the company’s V12 heritage with plug-in hybrid technology, introducing a new production model that reflects the automaker’s latest approach to performance and engineering.
