A Lamborghini Revuelto, set to be delivered to an eagerly awaiting customer in Beirut, was involved in a crash during a final test drive and fuel fill on its delivery day. The high-performance hybrid sports car was lost when a service driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle, causing significant damage. This unfortunate incident has left the buyer with a major setback, as they will now have to wait until 2028 for a replacement.
The Revuelto, which boasts a groundbreaking hybrid V12 engine and cutting-edge technology, had been part of an exclusive customer experience. However, the crash rendered the car unfit for immediate repairs, according to reports, with damage severe enough that Lamborghini is unable to expedite a replacement. As a result, the order has been placed on hold, extending the delay for the owner by several years.
The Lamborghini Revuelto is a high-performance mid-engine plug-in hybrid sports car developed by the renowned Italian automaker. Officially unveiled on March 29, 2023, the Revuelto serves as the successor to the iconic Lamborghini Aventador. Combining cutting-edge hybrid technology with the brand’s signature aggressive design, the Revuelto is powered by a V12 engine paired with three electric motors, delivering a combined output of 1,001 horsepower. The car’s bold styling features sharp, aerodynamic lines and distinctive design elements, continuing Lamborghini’s legacy of producing visually striking and performance-driven vehicles. Its name, “Revuelto,” is inspired by a Spanish fighting bull that gained notoriety for its fierce battles in Barcelona’s arenas in the 1880s, reflecting the car’s intense power and agility.
As of July 2023, the Lamborghini Revuelto entered full production, with the first units being delivered to customers by the last quarter of the year. The vehicle’s starting price of $608,358 places it in the high-end sports car market, catering to enthusiasts seeking exceptional speed, technology, and luxury. The Revuelto’s hybrid powertrain marks Lamborghini’s foray into the electrified performance car segment, offering drivers a thrilling driving experience while embracing sustainability. With its advanced engineering, limited availability, and exclusive design, the Revuelto has quickly become a highly coveted model among automotive enthusiasts worldwide.
