First Lamborghini Revuelto Arrives in London, Looks Like a Million Dollars
The first Lamborghini Revuelto supercar has just set wheels on the London tarmac, and everyone who laid eyes on it stopped and stared at it. The car looks like a million dollars and it sounds just the same.

The Lamborghini Revuelto that has just arrived in London is painted in Verde Turbine, which is Italian for Turbine Green, a matte shade of military green that is, indeed, a head turner.

The Lambo sports a very daring orange and black interior, an indication that the owner goes for the unconventional. Everyone wanted a piece of it, everyone took their phones out to take a few photos of the fierce-looking supercar.

And getting so much attention makes sense. The model comes with an aggressive styling. Head of Design Mitja Borkert is to blame for the way the Lamborghini Revuelto steals the spotlight everywhere it goes. Meanwhile, the V12 engine is on full display at the rear, churning out all the drama of its oomph.

The Revuelto is Lamborghini's first plug-in hybrid, or as the brand puts it, the first HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle). The system integrates the almighty mid-mounted, naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, which pumps out 814 horsepower (825 metric horsepower) and 535 pound-feet (725 Newton meters) of torque.

It works alongside three permanent magnet electric motors, with each of them bringing 187 horsepower (190 metric horsepower) and 248 pound-feet (336 Newton meters) for a total of 1,001 horsepower (1,015 metric horsepower) and 783 pound-feet (1,062 Newton meters) of torque. All these are managed by an eight-speed Graziano dual-clutch automatic transmission.

They are enough for a run from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 kph) in 2.5 seconds and a top speed electronically limited to 217 mph (350 kph). A lithium-ion battery stores enough energy to make the Revuelto run on electric power only for approximately 6.2 miles (10 kilometers). It might not sound like much, but this is a supercar that we are dealing with.

Something that got just as much attention as the Lamborghini was a Ferrari Purosangue that looked like an ice cream on wheels. The color that it sports is not even available in the Ferrari lineup.

The not-an-SUV Ferrari was parked right outside the dealership that hosts the Lambo these days and was photographed just as much as the Lamborghini.

The Sant'Agata Bolognese brand announced that the Revuelto is already sold out until late 2026. This means that the customer who is coming to pick up this car in Verde Turbine is one of the very lucky ones. They got their hands on the model that Lamborghini unveiled exactly one year ago (March 29) as a successor to the Aventador and sent into production in July 2023.
