FYI: The Lamborghini Revuelto’s performance on the drag strip showcases the potential of high-performance electric vehicles.
Don’t blink, or you might just miss the future of supercars racing past you. As the evolution of automotive technology accelerates, luxury vehicles like supercars and hypercars are entering a new era driven by hybrid advancements. It’s now commonplace for new models to boast nearly 1,000 horsepower engines. Lamborghini’s latest marvel, their first High-Performance Electric Vehicle (HPEV), the Revuelto, stands testament to this trend, roaring in with a staggering 1,001 horsepower. In a recent thrilling test, renowned automotive YouTuber Brooks Weisblat, known as @DragTimes, ventured to Bradenton Motorsports Park to put the Lamborghini Revuelto through its paces on a 1/4-mile drag strip.
Putting the Pedal to the Metal
With the intention to outpace his previous best in a Ferrari SF90 Stradale—which clocked an impressive 9.52 seconds at 146.61 mph—Brooks was in for a surprise. As he arrived, another Revuelto, boasting a vivid Verde Scandal finish and a $20,000 Gintani titanium exhaust system, set the stage for an unexpected face-off. On its very first run, the Revuelto comfortably surged ahead of Brooks’ SF90 Stradale record, clocking in at 9.46 seconds and 146.93 mph. The showdown grew even more intense when Brooks took on a 992 Porsche 911 Turbo S. Equipped with the full Gintani exhaust, the Revuelto blitzed the strip in a mere 9.41 seconds at 148.31 mph—a testament to its electrifying performance.
The Night of Rivals
The Revuelto’s prowess continued to shine throughout the night. Brooks faced an array of formidable competitors, including the hybrid-powered Ferrari 296 GTB, which further showcased the Revuelto’s superior edge in hybrid-engined supercar performance. For enthusiasts eager to witness or own a piece of this groundbreaking engineering, a collection of Lamborghini Revueltos awaits on the duPont REGISTRY.
