The first super sports V12 hybrid HPEV unveiled in Japan
Tokyo, 9 June 2023 – Automobili Lamborghini Japan held the Lamborghini Revuelto Japan premiere on Tuesday, 6 June at Ariake Arena. In celebration of the brand’s 60th anniversary, Lamborghini revealed its first V12 super sports hybrid plug-in HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) in front of more than 500 guests in Japan. The event took place at Ariake Arena, which was one of the venues for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and is set to become Tokyo’s new sports and cultural center. Lamborghini is the first automaker to host an event at this location.
Among the attendees from Automobili Lamborghini were Mitja Borkert, Head of Design, Matteo Ortenzi, Revuelto Product Line Director, and Davide Sfrecola, Head of Japan.
The Lamborghini Revuelto sets a new standard in terms of performance, sportiness, and driving pleasure with its innovative design, advanced aerodynamics, and new carbon frame concept. The combined power of a completely new combustion engine and three electric motors delivers an impressive output of 1,015 horsepower. It also features a double-clutch transmission (DCT), marking the first time this technology is introduced in a 12-cylinder Lamborghini. This electrified model, making its global debut in the brand’s 60th anniversary year, brings impact, excitement, and innovation to Lamborghini owners and enthusiasts.
Alongside the introduction of the first V12 HPEV model, Automobili Lamborghini pays homage to its iconic V12 heritage by displaying past V12 engine models such as the 400 GT, Miura, Countach, Diablo, Murciélago, and Aventador.
Guests at the event had the opportunity to explore the extensive customization options of the Revuelto in the dedicated Ad Personam area. They could touch and feel various materials to personalize their new vehicles with exterior and interior color and trim options, as well as special finishes that reflect their individual preferences.
Another highlight of the venue was the design corner, which replicated Mitja Borkert’s studio. Here, guests could witness live sketching and get a glimpse of the creative process that led to the design of the new car.
Mitja Borkert, Head of Design, said, “Lamborghini Revuelto showcases an entirely new style while still staying true to the design DNA. We have ensured that the design is instantly recognizable as a next-generation V12 model, which continues to captivate fans to this day. Carrying the legacy of Lamborghini’s legendary V12 while representing a new era of design, the Revuelto opens doors to Lamborghini’s future.”
Matteo Ortenzi, Revuelto Product Line Director, commented, “Revuelto takes Lamborghini emotions to a new dimension. It undoubtedly sets a new benchmark in terms of performance, sportiness, and driving pleasure. With the new 12-cylinder engine and hybrid technology, this new Lamborghini delivers a whole new level of driving emotions.”
Davide Sfrecola, Head of Japan, added, “Today, I am delighted to unveil the model to Japanese customers and celebrate this occasion together. Revuelto is the new flagship model in Lamborghini’s future. We look forward to delivering the vehicles to our Japanese customers and to seeing Revuelto on the roads here in Japan.”
