My FM Log: Revuelto Starlight

Lamborghini's first-ever PHEV hypercar, the Revuelto, has arrived in Forza Motorsport and I got my dibs over the Revuelto's long-awaited debut in the world of Forza, two years since the hypercar went on sale to the general public. Talk about extreme tardiness, huh?

So, what's it all about the Revuelto, the hypercar that rewrote Lamborghini's six-decade history?

In 2023, Lamborghini celebrated its 60th anniversary by unveiling the long-awaited successor to the decade-old Aventador: the Revuelto, the brand's first-ever high-performance plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Priced at half a million euros, plus additional costs, the Lamborghini Revuelto takes over as the new V12 king of the Lamborghini lineup, incorporating lessons learned from the electrified V12 series limited models, such as the Sián and the reborn Countach.

The Revuelto is powered by an 825 PS 6.5L V12 engine, which is paired with a rear P2-P3 eMotor, a front e-axle, and a lithium-ion battery with pouch cells, generating a total power output of 1,015 PS. It features an 8-speed e-DCT transmission, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 350 km/h.

With its carbon fiber bodywork, active rear wing, double wishbones equipped with Lamborghini MagneRide dampers, electric power steering, Carbon Ceramic Brakes Plus, and the latest generation of Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics, this new hypercar is designed to be incredibly exciting to drive, both on the road and on the track.

I've used the Suzuka Circuit to demonstrate the Revuelto's revealing performance. This revelation is more than enough to prove that Lamborghini's newest hypercar has what it takes to get to Position Zero. Anyway, let the revue begin.

A revue's too hard to miss, especially if you're witnessing a thousand-horsepower Lambo slash its way through Suzuka in this revue performance I've orchestrated and I did it in 2m22.005s. Not the best revue I've done but the Revuelto standing on Position Zero served its point.

It has been two long years since the Lamborghini Revuelto was unveiled, and now it has finally made its way into the Forza racing game franchise, which is set to go extinct this year. Although its arrival feels a bit late, I am incredibly proud to get behind the wheel of Lamborghini's newest masterpiece, a culmination of six decades of engineering and design.

My day with the Revuelto is done but as they say, THE SHOW MUST GO ON.

Lamborghini Revuelto

The Lamborghini Aventador marked the end of an era of purely internal combustion engine-powered Lamborghinis that became the hallmark of its six-decade heritage. As the next chapter begins, a new page of Lamborghini's history has been written. Welcome to the Lamborghini Revuelto.

Costing half a million Euros plus additional costs, the first-ever Lamborghini Revuelto takes over the Aventador's reigns as the new V12 king of the Lamborghini lineage and it uses most of the teachings learned from the electrified V12 series limited machines, the Sian and the reborn Countach.

Beginning with the styling, the Revuelto features elements inspired by the Sian, making this electrified flagship indistinctively Lamborghini in every angle, making it too cool to be missed by anyone who is living under a rock. I'm talking about you, Gran Turismo, Forza, and any racing video game I know and love that comes with real-life cars to play with. With such looks, the Revuelto is surely becoming the hypercar worth coveting.

Inside, the Revuelto matches the functionalities of its opposition such as having a tall touchscreen just like a McLaren, the information display above the glove compartment just like the Ferrari, and just like its Aventador predecessor, the ignition switch inspired by fighter jets. Although stuffed with infotainment and connectivity features that don't make sense in a two-seater hypercar like this, the interior matches the Revuelto's character.

Now, we get to the main event of the Revuelto, the electrified performance that signals the new start for Lamborghini. The 825PS 6.5L V12 engine is connected to a rear P2-P3 eMotor, front e-axle, and a Li-ion high-specific power battery with pouch cells, generating a total power output of 1015PS of power output. Mated to an 8-speed e-DCT, it has a 0-100kph time of 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 350kph. Judging by the stats, that's more than you get from its main rival, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale.

It's not just the electrified performance that sets the road and track on fire, it's the dynamics that made the Revuelto beyond compare. With a carbon fiber bodywork, active rear wing, double wishbones with Lamborghini Magneride dampers, electric power steering, Carbon Ceramic Brakes Plus, and a new generation Lamborghini Integrated Vehicle Dynamics, whichever driving style you're at, this new era Lamborghini is the most addictive hypercar to drive from Rome to Monza. Once you set foot with it, there's no turning back.

For a half-a-million-euro electrified hypercar that rewrites the rules of Lamborghini, the Revuelto is no doubt the sensation of 2023, and with its styling, technology, performance, and dynamics that set the world ablaze, this is the hypercar that deserves to be called the top star of the revue. Hypercar Revue, that is, because you can't say "Revuelto" without "revue".
