I got into a car for 420,000 euros. It costs the same as an apartment in Madrid, but the finishing is better.

Lamborghinis have become a sign of economic status and synonymous with success among young people after the emergence of crypto-millionaires who have made Lamborghini cars regular guests on their social networks. This explains why the brand has grown sales at double-digit rates over the past year.

However, the machine I am about to open will be beyond the reach of even many of these new millionaires. This is the Lamborghini Revuelto, and it will be the first. Supercar with 1015 hp power. with hybrid engine Has a price: from 422,340 without taxes. It costs the same as an apartment in Madrid, but I must admit that the finishing is much better.

Fast as sneakers. Elegant, like Italian shoes.

This is not the first time I have seen a supercar of this brand, but this is the first time I was able to get into it. Taking advantage of Lamborghini’s unveiling of the new 800 hp hybrid variant of the Urus, the Lamborghini Urus SE, the brand brought a Revuelto example to Barcelona, ​​finished in a striking orange color that highlights every corner. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t love at first sight.

The Revuelto certainly showcases Lamborghini styling: aggressive, angular lines that are closer to the aesthetic of an alien spaceship than that of a stereotypical luxury car. However luxury and attention to detail This is noticeable even from the outside.

At first glance, the Revuelto seems more compact than it actually is. Until you remember that it is 4.97 meters long and 2 meters wide, you won’t realize that it is much larger than the average car we see on the street.

all in Revolto seems strangely familiar referring to previous models such as the Aventador or Huracán, but at the same time it shows that it is a completely different model.

At the sharp rear end, the huge dual exhaust draws your attention until you find a huge V12 hybrid engine taking up most of the rear of the car. So, shamelessly put out an ECO rating with which it could share a lane with any electric car in a low-emissions zone while its exhausts purred in anticipation of an increase in power of 1015 hp.

Marking the boundary between the exhaust system and the engine, the exhaust pipes are supported by a huge spoiler that extends from side to side at the rear. The spoiler will only reveal its existence when you start driving or when the driver deploys it using the steering control.

Curiously, I opened what I thought would be the lid to refuel and charge the car (let’s not forget that despite being a supercar, it is plugged in). Something was wrong because this cap only allowed fuel through.

“Where does it connect?” — I asked the employees. To my surprise I was told that To load it, you had to open the hood. and next to the trunk, which had just enough room for two suitcases, was a charging port. That is, to load the car, you will have to leave the hood up. Apparently, Lamborghini’s idea is not for you to charge your car in the middle of the street, but for you to do it quietly in your car. Mansion house.

To gain access inside, you must first find the opening button. It turned out to be a small recess at the top of the door, masked by a carbon fiber insert. Hidden in plain sight, damned.

The scissor door opening, almost a hallmark of the house, surprised me in that it was very smooth and easy, leaving a very good clearance for access to the car. Even with doors open raised, its appearance continues to be impressive.

Between F1 and Louis Vuitton bag: what is its interior like?

I already have gray hair, and my dexterity is no longer the same as that of a twenty-something crypto bro. I had a pathetic image in my head of a middle-aged man, almost crawling on the ground, climbing into a machine that was 1.16 cm high at its highest point. Fortunately, I retained my dignity. Getting inside was surprisingly easy.

Once inside, you experienced a mixture of sensations between being at the helm of Formula 1 and sitting on a Louis Vuitton bag. A very spacious interior for a supercar, Yes, indeed.

The model I tested featured soft Alcantara seats paired with black leather and hand-stitched orange leather detailing that ran across the entire dash. There was also no shortage of carbon fiber on the steering wheel, dashboard and frame area. If you don’t like this combination, don’t worry. The brand has planned up to 70 interior combinations and 400 trim color options that can be customized to suit your tastes.

This is the first Lamborghini supercar I’ve tested, but it’s not the first supercar I’ve driven. So I was surprised how comfortable the seats were. The truth is that I was ready to get on the board and They turned out to be quite comfortable seats..

Inside, the combination of digital and analogue stands out. Digital is represented by three screens: a 12.3-inch instrument panel, an 8.4-inch central screen and an elongated 9.1-inch co-pilot information screen located above the glove box.

The analog part does the most to make you feel like you’re at the controls of the F-1. The start button is protected by a protector that you have to lift up to press, like in fighter jets, and the emergency light button is protected by side grilles, as if it were a nuclear button.

The steering wheel is where these sensations luxury and extreme sportiness. Its trim is made from the highest quality leather and carbon fiber, and its layout is reminiscent of the F1.

Very ergonomic in the handle and has four selectors that allow you to switch driving and driving modes with 11 possible combinations that alternate between more comfortable, sporty or eco-friendly modes. In addition, on the side spokes of the steering wheel there are turn signal switches and various buttons for controlling the headlights and wipers.

The space these levers would normally occupy is dedicated solely to two huge paddle shifters. On the back of the steering wheel I found several more buttons that control music and other functions.

The entertainment system has a very neat appearance on a graphical level and allows you to customize both the driver’s instrument panel and the co-pilot’s screen using widgets. When I looked up from the central screen, I was surprised to see a narrow window in the rearview mirror, Remember that you have a huge engine behind you..

In fact, the interior mirror is designed to check that the engine is still in place and that the spoiler is up, providing aerodynamic thrust, because the visibility of the traffic you leave is practically zero. Luckily, two huge side mirrors allow you to see beyond the Revuelto’s angular hips.

After pushing all the buttons for a while and feeling closer than ever to the millionaires I write about daily, it’s time to make that dream come true. It’s time to return to the vulgar outside world, away from the soft touch of leather and carbon fiber.

And again the image of a middle-aged man crawling on the ground and trying to get out of a supercar popped into my head. Luckily, I handled the situation gracefully. I left without any problems and with my dignity intact. In fact, this is not my merit.

The Lamborghini Revuelto has been designed to make access and egress easier by reducing the distance between the interior and the ground. It’s a pity that €422,340 (plus taxes) How much does the base model cost, turn this space into an unbridgeable chasm for my economy and the economy of most mortals.
