The Aerodynamic Masterpiece: Lamborghini Revuelto
Introduction
Lamborghini has been known for its iconic wedgy shape since the ’70s, and the new Revuelto continues this tradition. However, beneath its striking exterior lies a high-performance model that utilizes advanced aerodynamics to optimize airflow. In a recent video, Mitja Borkert, the head of design, and Ugo Riccio, the coordinator of aerodynamics, shed light on the intricate aerodynamic design of the Revuelto.
An Integrated Design and Aerodynamics Masterpiece
Borkert and Riccio both agree that the Revuelto is a “masterpiece of integrated design and aerodynamics.” Borkert emphasizes that the car’s aerodynamic character is evident at first glance. Riccio explains that every body panel of the Revuelto serves a purpose in managing airflow. Even the door handles are designed to optimize aerodynamics.
The Roof and Adjustable Rear Wing
The roof of the Revuelto is specially shaped to reduce drag and guide air towards the adjustable rear wing. The rear wing can be adjusted to three positions: the lowest for maximum efficiency, a medium level for high speed, and the highest level for increased downforce. Additionally, the roof design increases headspace for passengers while maintaining its aerodynamic functionality.
Aerodynamics as the Essence of Design
Riccio states that every aspect of the Revuelto balances form and performance, with aerodynamics being central to its design. Borkert describes aerodynamics as the driving force behind the car’s appearance, with every line and surface embodying the perfect partnership between design and aerodynamics.
Unleashing Power with Aerodynamics
The Revuelto harnesses an immense amount of power from its hybrid V12 powertrain, delivering 1,001 hp to all four wheels. With a blistering acceleration of 0-62 mph in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph, the Revuelto’s aerodynamics play a crucial role in optimizing performance.
Availability
Unfortunately, the Revuelto is currently sold out until mid-2025, according to Lamborghini’s latest estimates. So, enthusiasts will have to wait patiently to experience this aerodynamic marvel firsthand.
