Lamborghini Hybrid Supercar gets a Whole 6.2 Miles of All-Electric Range

­Want to drive the most ostentatious symbol of wealth on the planet while kinda-sorta helping to save it?

Then, the 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto might be the answer (for your crazy deep pockets).

I jest, but what other vehicle is simultaneously the punchline of chic and the go-to symbol of luxury for get-rich gurus (while racking up a whole 15 mpg)?

So a plug-in hybrid version that sports a relatively minuscule 6.2 miles of all-electric range is kinda a big deal.

The 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto is a plug-in hybrid supercar in every way, shape, and form you’d expect from the Italian luxury automaker.

It’s got a beefy 813hp, 6.5-liter V12 engine, with the addition of three electric motors for a combined 1,015cv (or about 1,001hp).

A 3.8kWh battery pack powers the three e-motors — one in the rear and one at each front wheel — for a grand total of 10km (or 6.2 miles) of all-electric range.

That might seem microscopic (and it is), but 1) This is a Lamborghini and 2) It’s a hybrid.

So its internal combustion engine — which, alone, is the epitome of inefficiency — can recharge the electric motors in about six minutes. Regenerative braking expedites the process, which is the absolute only similarity between my vehicle — a Ford Fusion hybrid — and this plug-in beast.

And what’s really wild — the Revuelto is, in many respects, beefier than the pure-gas Aventador it replaces. According to The Verge, the Revuelto goes zero to 100kph (zero to 62mph) in 2.5 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds quicker than the Aventador. 

And with maximum torque of 725 Newton-meters at 6,750rpm, the Revuelto (the Spanish matador word for “unruly” or, alternatively, a dish of creamy scrambled eggs), includes four-wheel drive and electric torque vectoring, a first for the company.

Either way, this vehicle definitely isn’t targeting the masses — with a price tag just north of $500K — and it’s amongst the first green(ish) Lambos on the road to the company’s all-electric 2030 lineup.
