Revuelto review (and a hybrid Lamborghini you HAVEN'T heard of) | Henry Catchpole -The Driver’s Seat
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Golden hour in Tuscany with a new Lamborghini Revuelto is truly something to be savoured. Although… there is the nagging thought that the addition of some electric motors to the quintessential naturally aspirated V12 might spoil the party. Yes, a combined 1001bhp should be enough to overcome the extra weight of a hybrid system and ensure the Revuelto’s 1772kg (3907lb - dry weight) feels quick in a straight line, but can the promises of torque vectoring really do much to help in the corners?
Certainly there is no outward lack of drama. This particular car is in Giallo (yellow) Countach, which, although gorgeous, is perhaps a little too Corvette for comfort. However, the sensational scissor doors are present and correct, the hexagonal exhausts are mounted high and the V12 is left al fresco for maximum visual impact. Does the Revuelto look like it costs £450,000 or $600,00? Yes, absolutely.
But back to the hybrid, because we know that’s still a concern for many. But Henry Catchpole has a history lesson that might put some minds a little more at ease. Because this is not the first hybrid Lamborghini - and we’re not talking about the Sian. A trip to the Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum near Bologna reveals myriad marvels from the engineer’s mind (did you know he designed a helicopter?) but it is his earliest creation that is of interest to us.
Without wishing to give too much away, the Revuelto is remarkable. But, ignoring money for a moment, which hybrid supercar would you choose to drive if someone opened the hypothetical keybox? A Ferrari SF90? A McLaren Artura? The new Porsche 911 GTS T-Hybrid? Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray? Let us know in the comments.

Thank you for all the kind comments. It was quite the 24hrs filming this (Glenn and I managed both sunset and sunrise!). The Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum is well worth a visit if you’re near Bologna - all sorts of fascinating stuff in there.
I went in my F355 GTS, in 2018, ex N Mansell, they told me to park across the road, despite an empty car park....still after all these yrs....
@@HenryCatchpole Incredible work as always Henry, thankyou. I'd love to know what watch and strap you're wearing in this? Looks mint 👌
You're one of very few journalists who are universally admired Henry. Crack on!
@@The_Local_Spokesman exactly my thought. Is it an IWC by any chance?
@@The_Local_Spokesman Not particularly well versed on IWC’s but it looks like a big pilot to me, but whatever it is it’s absolutely lovely
Henry’s the next to carry the torch of best all-around automotive journalists, like Chris Harris and Steve Sutcliff.
@@nightshifted just like them… but better 😉
And Harry Metcalfe
@@DamienFalzon he's a farmer not automotive journalist
@@nightshifted he's on my ultimate top gear host list. Next to CH.
Jason Camissa ❤😏🌚
I really appreciate that Henry spends most of the videos driving cars instead of talking about the cars while standing next to it. I love Henry’s videos!
This video scissors my doors.
It may also have straightened my pipe a little bit.
Ours, too.
It's got me dual-clutching my gearbox
It's got me raging my bull
@@CaptainBlitzI actually had that in the script before changing it for the doors.
Henry is the man. I still miss carfection Henry was on all the time
@@allensaunders449 Me too, but I think Carfection was simply too expensive to keep producing for. Hagerty is the next best thing though, fortunately. Hell, it honestly feels like a spiritual successor to Carfection.
Savage Henry? Scag baron bound for a croaking?
Carfection was superb - it was my favourite, the quality of the people on there top notch.
That's the best review of the Revuelto I've seen so far. After watching hours of various channels drag racing their Revuelto's every which way but loose, I now finally feel like I understand what it's like to actually drive the damned thing. Thanks Henry! Also - very impressive to see you catching a slide in a V12 Lambo whilst narrating without breaking stride, kudos!
You will or never should be out of work. Fabulous as ever. Thanks Henry.
Henry, Chris Harris, and Jason Cammisa would be great for a Top Gear type show
Add Steve Sutcliffe for good measure
Throw Ben Collins in there too
Not really, I don’t see the three having much chemistry. That’s what made top gear so good, it was three friends doing stupid things with cars.
Henry, Chris and Harry if you ask me.
No Cammisa. Dude is annoying.
Mr Catchpole is hands down ny favorite auto presenter 😊
Ah yes. The Lamborghini Scrambled Egg. Yellow as it should be
👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️ GOSH I HATE THAT TRANSLATION I thought it's a bull
This is brilliant. I can't imagine anyone other than Henry explaining what a hybrid future for Lamborghini means. Thanks to Henry and Hagerty!. Now find a Temerario and finish the story.
Unironically needing a "show off" button for revving the engine when people ask for it would be peak Lamborghini even if it being necessary might not be.
I'm really surprised that pulling both paddles simultaneously doesn't do neutral. Many other flappy paddle transmissions do that.

@@HandsomeAlex25 That's how previous Lamborghinis went into neutral.
@@HandsomeAlex25 I was going to say this as well.
Henry is one of the very best motoring presenters we have had and I have been watching for 60+ years. He brings the car and the experience to life, he explains to the unconvinced and excites those who dream of ever buying one..or even sitting in one. Henry paints word and sound pictures effortlessly and that takes a lot of skill…video making is complex and tiring, editing it needs inspiration and talent but presenting it takes someone special. Henry…you get the job on that one! 😃😃😃😃
I'm not what you'd call a Lambo fan..but damn Henry did this review so much justice that I find myself liking the car...what a stunning review
Another great video with not just a journalist, I think Henry and the team are like automotive poets, transmitting how a car feels, flows and lives, while talking about the philosophy of Ma and actually how it makes so much sense.
Please keep going and never stop your videos, which will keep the passion and thrill of driving alive
This is a video that i might open ten years later and still be fully immersed in......Thankyou Henry, Glenn and the whole team for putting this video together. Also its a nice car .
Yellow lambo in Italian mountain roads with smooth music for the opening scene. Sure ive seen this before 👀🇮🇹. You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off.
Great to see a proper and thorough review, as opposed to only constant drag races that - cough - certain car channels stick to…
@@Hugh.G.Rection. a dig to car wow, nice 🤝😂😂
Oh Henry & team!!!
Here I was looking through my calendar of “to do’s” and I really wasn’t looking forward to the day even though it is sunny here in beautiful Vancouver.
I then came across your video.; birds chirping, Lambo wailing through the Italian countryside with beautiful orchestral music in the background… A huge smile flashed across my face.
My spirit has been lifted.
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you 🙏
Henry always delivering, absolute class car journalism
Best review of the Revuelto I've seen yet, beautifully put together.
Henry + Revuelto? I almost played this at .5 speed to savor the masterpiece
Great review as always from Mr. Henry and I like how your glasses design on the sides matches the taillights of the car :D
Whoever specced the car did a brilliant Job having the little strip in the lights in body colour. It extends the nose and the car looks much more Lamborghini now
I can't wait for a RWD version of this. Should be pretty easy since they only need to remove a couple motors and shrink the battery. Keep the e-motor in the back.
You should receive an award just by not adding the stereotypical napoletan music in the initial driving scene 🏆thanks for it and for the great video
That was a great intro
Was terrible, no music necessary..
Always the consummate presenter Mr Henry Catchpole is. Love your videos.
Henry, you're simply the best. Thank you for this. What a car! It's gorgeous!!!
Wow the revwellto looks really good in yellow i like it in yellow a lot better than orange
Yellow is the best colour for a Lamborghini and the 2nd best colour for supercars in general (red being the best one). Every time I think of a Lamborghini I think of the yellow Murcielago from the cover of Need for Speed 6 Hot Pursuit 2 from 2002.
At launch I hated how the Revuelto looked. It felt so "meh" compared to the outgoing Aventador. But, the yellow is kinda growing on me.
@@CyanRooper Nah imo orange better for this one and Huracan better in green
Another top notch review Henry - videography is epic
Hagerty should do a comparison between the Revuelto and the Sian. As they both have a "hybrid" power design, my question is, how do they compare in driver engagement overall? Off the bat, I know the Revuelto will be much more refined, but we need to know how they compare as the Lamborghini driver experience.
0:54 If you'd blindfolded me and played me that clip, I would've said it sounded like an M4.
13:09 "Pizza Margherita" 🤔 Thinking as a American this involved a Pizza, a Blender, and Tequila.
Yeah, I was thinking "a Pizza Margarita doesn't sound simple at all!"
thank you for mentioning the positives on the company and their relationship with the planet as well as the beautiful display of the intricacy of the revuelto
Beautifully filmed and narated as always. You are in a class of your own @henryCatchpole!
This is so well shot and edited it is beyond comprehension
Yes please on the 21:9 content. More of that the better.
This guy will be the next presenter of the grand tour I am certain of it. One of the few who do it as well as Clarkson Hammond and may
The best, Henry Catchpole. Incomparable
Brilliantly filmed and narrated.
A true honest opinion.
Thank you sir.
😎😎😎👍👍👍
Dual-fuel tractors were pretty common in postwar Europe well into the 1950s. I grew up in Ireland and well remember having it explained to me how the big dark blue Fordson E27N, owned by a neighbour; was started on petrol, but switched to TVO after a few minutes spent warming up.
Beautiful piece of motoring cinema and an all-around excellent review. I'm more inspired than ever to get out and drive my own hybrid, a 2011 Prius, off a bridge.
"On days like these". Nice reference!
Such a great intelligent review! Thank you!
Henry another amazing video, this Lamborghini really suits you😉🤟.
Lamborghini is doing just an amazing job lately, with their complete products range and production itself.
Keep up with great work bringing us amazing videos like this 🤟🤟❤❤
Wow, great review and footage! Thanks
Stunning film
You deserve way more views!
What a brilliant idea to have the "vroom vroom" button for these DCT cars with no foot clutches! I love the contrast I find on Hagerty, from the relaxed and mellow Henry Catchpole to the slightly manic Jason Camissa to the downright folksy Tom Cotter!
I think you can hold both paddles back to rev the engine while driving
Question about revving it: can you pull both paddles to disengage the clutch(es) and rev it that way? I know that's a simple push-button thing, but the 8th gen Corvette has that and I figured other manufacturers did as well.
The Huracan and Aventador work that way.
I just got mine - unfortunately not. Well, you can put it in neutral with the paddles but it does not let you rev the engine. In park mode - no limiter. Sounds way better than on video...
Who does the writing?
Video is amazing as always, very cinematic but writing …
“Japanese concept of Ma”, i had to google that. Then there was a novel of.. I forgot who in Aston Martin video but so many nods to past (“ridding the sill”) or art, poetry or even cooking ( licking the Chiron). There is no at least car channel that puts so much effort into their videos as Evo or Carfection or Hagerty ( which one is it).
Funny that such passion is somewhat wasted on modern cars with desktops and electric motors.
What if you make a video about engines being assembled or the whole cars for that matter. I would love to see GT3 being put together.
Absolutely amazing channel
Thank you. I do all the writing.
Awesome video! The opening scene reminds me of the cinematic 'Requiem For a V10'. 👍🏽
Henry is the greatest automotive journalist of this era! Fantastic video
Amazing, as usual. Beautiful beginning, great arguments, respectful yet critical, and so entertaining. Congrats.
It’s Henry, OF COURSE I’m immediately clicking to watch the video, duh 🤪. I got my tea and biscuits and I’m ready to watch 😌
Henry Catchpole and the use of the word “crescendo”, better love story than twilight 😂😂😂😂
Great review as usual Henry 👏🏼
Thank goodness the v12 is still alive ❤..
Was expecting a better 1/4 time though..
One of the best reviews I've ever seen!
I'm a bit disappointed to no longer hear the glorious V12 sound the Aventador has. Maybe an aftermarket exhaust will bring it back. Thanks for the video!
I completely agree with your give it some revs to entertain button! First review I've seen where I'm really starting to warm to the new Revuelto. I'm starting to like it.
your videos are of great quality..keep it up
Pull up both paddles it will go into N, neutral then you can rev till 9500RPM to hear that glorious V12!!!
Great review Henry, bravissimo, as usual ;-)
One of the best car reviews ever, congrats!
Absolutely brilliant review and video , bravo Henry , thanks
Catchpole 💪🏻. Henry reminds me of Tiff Needell. A true enthusiast
Thanks Henry!
This review of a #common product, restores my faith in humanity! Well done Sir!
Wrote this on an unknown #electric vehicle's tablet.
PS. Took me 45 minutes
The front right wheel camera feed and the wide aspect format accentuates the length of this car.
Henry’s the best thing on this channel.
Both, the Lamborghini Revuelto and this film are a masterpiece.
The Revuelto is a masterpiece of car design, engineering, emotion, and even now practicality and dailiability. It is the physical manifestation of everything that's worth living in life and now, with none of the drawbacks.
As for this film, such greatly presented, such great writing and story telling, such great cinematography it is wonderful.
And as far as I remember all Lambos allow you to rev the engine by just pulling on both paddles, that puts the car into neutral because the people at Lamborghini know that people like to rev Lambos so it's not even missing that button :),
I see henry ,i click the video.
I see harry ,i click the video.
Simples.
Great review as always Henry! Did justice - with depth - to what is otherwise being a clickbait car! Thanks!
always love henry's writing
Simply. Lovely.
The Kid inside me when I saw a Lamborghini for the first time and dreams to own it, wants to just feel this video
I’m glad they finally go rid of the single clutch and finally put in a DCT. The only single clutch I’ve ever driven was a Ferrari 360 spider. It was terrible both in traffic and normal driving. It only ever smoothed out at nearly full throttle
I love this supercar wow this is Sant’ Agata Bolognese finest.
catchpole is magnificent yet again
This new Acura NSX is sweet! Glad they went with natural aspiration. Odd choice with the bull logo though. 🤔 😅
Oh I've heard of it. You don't know me.
@@forkthepork Me too. I have my ways.
Best review I've seen so far
Another on spot masterpiece by Hagerty and Henry which catches the philosophy and purpose of the Revuelto perfectly. The only sad thing is that most of the owners are full body tattooed rappers who don’t give a thing about the philosophy but rather flexing with it and individualizing it beyond recognition…
Another masterpiece by Henry!
Vorsprung durch Technik. There's no stopping Lamborghini.
Eh? This is no Audi..
My only question is - does the acial flux have a capacitor? And if so did you notice anything at 88 mph?
They need to come standard with gintani exhausts from factory
I do love Lambos
Engine-Rev button is next-level thinking 😁👍
Well that is *not* what I expected. The ride, the driving dynamics and the feel are not typical Lambo strong points - they always were ok, but more about theatre than dynamics. The 1000 HP seems a bit ridiculous (this produces Veyron numbers!), but the whole package, as you describe it sounds deeply pleasing. Lambo made a dream car for drivers? Who could have guessed!
I will say this about Lamborghini going " Green".
Obviously if your sole purpose is to buy buy a high performance vehicle, that's good for the environment you will settle for a sedan with either a plaid track pack or sapphire.
But that 6 Mile range is not insignificant. Imagine living in the outskirts of a city, wanting to take your Lamborghini to dinner in the city and immediately switching to electric mode once you get off the motorway. Because in something like an event door 6 mi of City driving could very well be a gallon
I love your channel and this video
Based on your ending epilogue about Ma (or empty space), this car then is basically Claude Debussy, who is credited as saying that "Music is the space between the notes".
Well it could certainly be argued that Claude and the Revuelto have musical creation in common.
I was expecting the Matt Monro to cue in as you said "on days like these" as you drive into the sunset on a mountain road. I was a bit disappointed 😂. Great film as always though.
Ah, Henry, you forgot several more nods to another company. For instance, the cup holders on the passenger side. Taken from Porsche's garbage skip after they binned the brilliant system on the 997 and 991 for the horrific cubby in 992. The materials are also nod to Porsche. Corsa-tex aka. Race-tex, as well as Grigio Silver stitching. aka. Silver Grey, much like ones you can get from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. You can also get your Revuelto in a colour called Verde Viper. Or Viper Green in Porschespeak, one of the PTS colour which was introduced alongside Signal Orange and Royal Purple on the 1973 911s, famously the Carrera RS 2.7.
The only problem with the Revuelto is that Carwow put it up recently against the SF90 & the F296. It strugged against the baby Ferrari F296 and was trounced comprehensively by the SF90...
Hagerty and Henry’s content is masterclass.
henry the goat
Ok, I believe in the all mighty; 21:9, amazing production quality, beautiful sceneries and so much more. BRAVO !
