Lamborghini Revuelto attracting strong Aussie interest
First local deliveries of Lamborghini Aventador replacement still more than a year awayOne of the most highly anticipated new model releases of this year – the 2023 Lamborghini Revuelto – has been given a release date for Australia.
First local deliveries of the Revuelto – the first new V12-powered Lamborghini in more than a decade, and the first plug-in hybrid Lambo ever – will take place in the third quarter of 2024.
And Aussies are lining up in their droves, despite a price tag that’s expected to be close to $1 million, given the Aventador it replaces was priced from almost $789,000, rising to $825K for the roadster and $950K for the hot SVJ coupe – plus on-road costs.
Speaking with carsales at the recent Australian debut of the new Lamborghini Urus Performante, Lamborghini Oceania sales manager Peter Crombie-Brown couldn’t confirm pricing or the number of local orders for the Revuelto, but said the electrified V12 hypercar had piqued significant interest Down Under following its global reveal in March.
“There’s no pricing for that vehicle, but we’ll be looking at deliveries around quarter three of 2024,” he said.
“One dealer has already told me that on the Saturday after the reveal, his showroom was full of people. We also launched our online configurator straight away and we’ve had a lot of interest.
“When Lamborghini launches a brand-new supercar with a V12 and hybridisation, you’re always going to get a lot of interest.”
The Lamborghini Revuelto is the new flagship sports car of the Italian performance vehicle brand and will boast more than 1000hp (757kW) in its most aggressive driving modes, thanks to three electric motors and permanent all-wheel drive.
Lamborghini claims the Revuelto will hit 100km/h in less than 2.5 seconds and to 200km/h in less than seven, and will deliver a top speed in excess of 350km/h.
Already in pre-production at Sant’Agata Bolognese, the Revuelto is based around a forged carbon-fibre chassis and can run for a very limited distance as a pure EV.
Even with that superlative on-paper performance and tangible improvements over the Aventador (first launched in 2011), Crombie-Brown isn’t forecasting too many trade-ins for the new model.
Instead, most buyers are expected to keep their Aventadors and purchase a Revuelto in addition.
“It’s hard to say [but] I think a lot of current owners will probably hold onto their Aventadors and then go for the new one as well,” he said.
“They’re advocates for the brand, they love the brand and they feel a part of the family, which reminds me that we’re doing the right thing.”
