Lamborghini Revuelto teszt lammborghini Revuelto hybrid

When I was a child, the only meaningful act of weekly cleaning was dusting the Countach LP5000 Quattrovalvole model car that decorated my room, but it seemed unattainable even as a dream that I could one day drive anything from them, even a tractor with double brake pedals (when turning to independent braking of the right and left rear wheels).

You can imagine how excited I was to DRIVE A LAMBORGHINI for the first time in my life. I only looked in the loan agreement to see where I had to pay for the key, I only read what was in it after the fact.

I made a carefully composed contract with my signature, as in everything identical to my will, that I will not sue Lamborghini and the owner Audi for possible injuries, just as my orphaned and widowed family members will not do the same. They thought more deeply about the risk to your environment and yourself to drive a 1015 horsepower car.

But the Revuelto is an unexpectedly compassionate super sports car compared to the brand’s traditions. There’s no sign of the old school hideous Italian seating position where you sat half-lying but with your legs up. I once managed to experience it in a Miura on display in a museum, accessible for a test seat, and since then I really look up to everyone who can go fast with such cars.

There is 26 mm more headroom than in the Aventador Ultimae, which is good for the helmet on the race track and 84 mm more space for the legs. The basic ergonomics of the car are good, with the allocation of controls from the left spoke of the steering wheel, with the exception of the direction indicators that work with a rocker switch.

Driving a mid-engined car is inherently a privilege, apart from the first generation Toyota Previa and Asian vans, I can only think of sports cars with a mid-engined one. The structure also determines the seating position and the view. The classic Lamborghini experience is here too, the view is good, but it’s like looking at the prey from the cockpit of a fighter jet.

The steering requires surprisingly little power, the movement of the car seems much lighter and more compact than the real dimensions of the car. The steering is linear, there is no variable ratio, which makes the Revuelto behave more predictably.

Although we are dealing with a super sports car measuring 10 square meters and weighing 1,772 kilograms without liquids, it is not difficult to go fast with the Revuelto with the torque vector control of the front wheels driven by electric motors and the natural-looking rear wheel steering.

The stakes are high, you can always feel it, but even with winter tires the limits are drawn at the blue of the sky. Driving fast with a mid-engine car is a completely different experience than with a nose engine, because here the engine threatens to scream in the back of your head. The V12 is a penetrating monster, its subtle vibrations are with you, just enough of its exuberance comes through.

Although the in the Ruhr areawe drove near Düsseldorf, where, unlike Italy, passers-by don’t wave to kick him, we hear his voice, so I consistently drove through the villages and small towns in single file so that everyone could enjoy the roar of the V12. His voice captivates you in the Revuelto, because unlike acceleration, you can also enjoy it at double-digit speeds.

There was a colleague who thought the Aventador was better, because it has permanent terror, and it doesn’t want to tear you apart, but this assessment can also depend on whether you can spend a few hours, a few days or several years with the car.

A switch on the bridge activates the electric reverse gear

Anyone who gets this at home and doesn’t take the Revuelto out just to cruise the Sunset Boulevardon or pose in front of the Gresham, you will like that the shifts are more subtle. Dramatized gear changes with shocks are obviously annoying, but if you don’t fall on curves with a knife between your teeth, you will appreciate the more discreet changes of the eight-speed DSG.

The same is true for performance. Since the first electric motors pull immediately, the curve can’t even reach the volcano eruption from such a deep, heart-wrenching curve, because we start from higher. But why is it a problem if you can accelerate straight out of the corner in such a way that your eyes fall?

Both have their charms. One tuning is not better than the other, but a matter of compromise, like everything in the production of production cars. There’s nothing I hate more than reading about a car with a license plate, hearing that it’s “no nonsense” and that it’s an uncompromising sports model. Have all GL eyes in your chassis instead of silent blocks and we can come back to this later.

Its sound is mind-blowing, the V12 is disabled at 9500

I didn’t have much time to drive, I didn’t use the racing mode and the mode that completely resets the electronic background support on the test lap, which we did in a bit of rain on the highway and on a country road that was very narrow for the car. In performance mode and sport mode, the car sounds heartbreaking and can be controlled quite well if you approach it from below.

But it can still be scary because the acceleration is downright scary. In some it runs at 100, at 104 you have to switch first if you don’t want to bounce back from the 9500 deregulation. The throttle response is immediate, the engine revs up as if without resistance, and after the one that takes 2.5 seconds, it completes the two in seconds. I was already accelerating in third gear, over 170, when the all-wheel drive car shook its rear. The Revuelto is also a 4×4, so that a large or even larger part of the power always goes to the rear wheels.
