The Lamborghini Revuelto is a plug-in hybrid that represents a technologically superior achievement from Sant'Agata Bolognese. But while the manufacturer already offers outstanding performance in the series version, the tuner Novitec is now embarking on a special program for aerodynamics, chassis and exhaust technology.
The aim of the modifications is not only visual individualization, but also a targeted increase in aerodynamic efficiency and engine power. The Novitec optical package for the mid-engine sports car, which reaches speeds of over 350 km/h, mainly consists of visible carbon elements developed in the wind tunnel. At the front, two side spoilers are installed in combination with a center spoiler.
These elements are intended to increase downforce on the front axle at high speeds, improving driving stability. The front end is complemented by headlight surrounds and a tailored front hood, which is optionally available in full carbon fiber.
The side view of the modified Lamborghini is dominated by more pronounced side sills and swing door extensions. At the rear, a pronounced rear wing dominates, the edge of which provides additional downforce on the rear axle. A new hood with an optional air filter is also said to optimize the intake of fresh air into the twelve-cylinder engine.
For the shoes, Novitec, in collaboration with the American manufacturer Vossen, opts for a mixed shoe. The NL5 model is used with a central locking look. To emphasize the wedge shape of the Revuelta, 21-inch rims (9,5Jx21) with 265/30 tires are mounted on the front axle, while 22-inch wheels (12,5Jx22) with 355/25 tires maintain contact with the road on the rear axle. Accordingly, the sports springs lower the body by around 25 millimeters, which shifts the center of gravity downwards in favor of better handling.
While the three electric motors of the hybrid system remain unchanged, Novitec focuses on the 6,5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine. With a thermally insulated high-performance exhaust system and special metal catalytic converters, the engine output is increased by 24,2 kW (33 hp). The total system output is thus increased to an impressive 771 kW (1.048 hp).
The exhaust system is available in stainless steel or the Inconel material known from Formula 1. To reduce the heat load in the engine, the pipes are insulated – in the Inconel version, even with a 999-carat gold coating on request. Active sound management using exhaust flaps also allows manual control of the V12 engine's sonic presence.
Visually, the system is completed by four exhaust pipes, with the middle two with a diameter of 110 millimeters being particularly expressive. As for the price, the upgrades, as is usual with Novitec, are said to be in an exclusive price range - the manufacturer only provides exact prices upon request.
