Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann claims that the company is on a path marked by four things: sustainability, digitalization, urbanization, and geopolitics. For the carmaker that has provided so much visual fuel for car-obsessed teenagers the world over this past 60 years, that’s quite the high-speed lane change.
Then again, the world that the all-new Revuelto lands in is almost unrecognizable from the one the rakish Lamborghini 350 GT lit up back when the ’60s were starting to pendulate. Watching legacy carmakers pivot toward electrification isn’t always the most edifying spectacle, and Lamborghini’s first fully electric car and fourth model line won’t arrive until later in the decade. Which makes the Revuelto a transitional step between the outrageous internal combustion that Lamborghini is best known for and the new automotive world order. Is that enough?
