lamborghini revueltoLamborghini has recently revealed their highly anticipated successor to the Aventador, named the Revuelto. This model marks a new era for the company as it’s Lamborghini’s first ‘HPEV’ (High-Performance Electrified Vehicle). According to Lamborghini, this plug-in hybrid supercar has already been entirely reserved for the next two years, with deliveries set to start towards the end of 2024.
In terms of design, the Revuelto takes inspiration from the finest elements of Lamborghini models over the past twenty years, appearing like a ‘greatest hits’ collection. Predictably, it retains the sharp ‘wedge’ shape familiar from the Aventador. True to Lamborghini tradition, it features the iconic vertically-opening scissor doors on the Aventador and other flagship models.
While many supercar manufacturers are reducing engine sizes and adopting turbocharging to decrease emissions, Lamborghini is taking a different approach. The Revuelto continues to sport a massive 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12 engine behind the driver. Although it has the same displacement as the Aventador’s engine, this is an entirely new engine, being 17kg lighter and significantly more powerful. For comparison, the most powerful Aventador, the Ultimae, had 780hp, whereas the Revuelto boasts an impressive 825hp.
Yet, the Revuelto doesn’t just stop at 825hp; three electric motors further enhance it. There’s one electric motor attached to the engine, aiding power to the rear wheels, and each front wheel is powered by its motor.
The Revuelto offers three driving modes: ‘Strada,’ which activates the petrol engine and delivers 886hp; ‘Sport’ mode, which ramps up the power to 907hp; and then there’s ‘Corsa.’ In ‘Corsa’ mode, the driver can access the vehicle’s full capability of 1,015hp.

9. Koenigsegg CC850
Release date: Mid 2024 (estimated)
koenigsegg cc850Koenigsegg’s latest offering, the CC850, is a tribute to the brand’s original prototype, the CC, which debuted two decades ago. This prototype paved the way for models such as the CC8S, CCR, and the widely acclaimed CCX. The CC850 not only commemorates the 20th anniversary of the CC8S’s first delivery but also marks the 50th birthday of the brand’s founder, Christian von Koenigsegg.
Though the CC850 is the newest model from the esteemed Swedish manufacturer, it isn’t designed to break the company’s speed records. Koenigsegg has clarified that the CC850’s performance targets do not reach the extreme levels of the Jesko Absolut, currently the fastest in their lineup and among the most formidable supercars globally. The CC850 boasts a rugged twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine — presumably similar to the one in the Jesko — generating a remarkable 1185 horsepower, which can increase to a staggering 1385 horsepower with E85 fuel. This power output, alongside a curb weight of 1385 kilograms (about 3053 pounds), mirrors the one-to-one power-to-weight ratio of the 2014 Koenigsegg One:1. The engine also produces 1020 pound-feet of torque.
A standout feature of the CC850 is its novel Engage Shift System (ESS), derived from Jesko’s Light Speed Transmission (LST). The ESS, like the LST, is a nine-speed, multi-clutch automatic capable of rapid gear shifts. Unique to the CC850, however, is the inclusion of a traditional clutch pedal and a gated shifter. This setup allows drivers to manually control the ESS as if it were a conventional six-speed manual transmission, though the gear changes are executed entirely electronically. The system also adjusts gear ratios based on the selected driving mode.
In terms of design, the CC850 closely mirrors the aesthetic of the CC8S, its progenitor. It maintains smooth bodywork with similar dimensions and even features a characteristic side scoop akin to the CC8S. While the car’s LED headlights and taillights have been updated for a contemporary look, its overall design faithfully honors its heritage.
