Lamborghini is known for its V12 engines, powering iconic flagship models such as the 400GT, Miura, Murciélago, and Aventador. The Revuelto continues this lineage, featuring a completely redesigned engine—its first update in 12 years—and marking a new era for the brand's flagship.

Its powertrain is particularly noteworthy. The maximum output of the system, which combines a newly developed V12 engine with three electric motors, is a record 1015 hp (757 kW / 1029 ps), marking Lamborghini's first hybrid model. Furthermore, it is equipped with a dual-clutch transmission (DCT), a first for Lamborghini's 12-cylinder models.

At the venue, where previous V12 models were also displayed alongside the Revuelto, Mitja Borkert, head of design, and Matteo Ortenzi, product line director, took to the stage.

Mitja Borkert, who oversaw the design, commented, "The Revuelto is faithful to Lamborghini's design DNA while establishing a completely new style. It is designed to be instantly recognizable as the next-generation V12 model, captivating people at first glance."
