Revuelto gets PHEV recognition from DOE

Here’s some good news for our car spotting fans out there: Lamborghini’s newest two-seat flagship supercar could soon be making its way to the country.

After taking hold of the updated list from the Department of Energy (DOE), we spotted the Lamborghini Revuelto in the recognized vehicles under the PHEV or plug-in hybrid category.

Launched in March 2023, the Revuelto is Lamborghini’s first plug-in hybrid supercar for the brand’s electrified age. Pegged as the successor of the Aventador, the two-seat flagship supercar features jet-fighter styling with a carbon fiber front structure in its monocoque chassis.

Powered by the new 6.5-liter V12 called the L545, the signature V12 from Lamborghini puts out 825 PS and 725 Nm of torque. But for the electrified age, the V12 is now complemented by three electric motors for a total system output of 1,001 PS transmitted to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Since it’s a plug-in hybrid, the Revuelto can roll in stealth with an all-electric mode that can be used for up to 10 kilometers. But put the pedal down and the Revuelto can easily reach 100 km/h from a standstill in 2.5 seconds, 200 km/h in less than 7 seconds, and reach a top speed of more than 350 km/h.

As of the moment, Lamborghini Manila is yet to make announcements regarding the Revuelto. But since it already has a stamp of approval from a government agency in the country, that’s could be taken as one step towards a possible model launch. The question now is, what’s going to be the retail on one of these?
