Lamborghini Revuelto Edges Closer To American Arrival

On Tuesday, November 29, Lamborghini lodged an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for the name "Revuelto." The filing was applied for with a number of potential applications listed, including merchandise, motors, and actual cars - both regular and electric - but the name is not new to us.CarBuzzdiscovered the same trademark applicationswith the European Union and Italian trademark offices back in May. At the time, we theorized that this could apply to the Italian automaker's first all-electric car, which it appearswill be a lifted grand tourerin the same vein as the Ferrari Purosangue. We have other ideas, but this trademark confirms that the next new Lambo we can look forward to will be a global model called the Revuelto.

Might Revuelto be the name of the hybrid successor to theLamborghini Aventador? We've seen the all-new V12 supercartesting on numerous occasions, and we know that it willhave no carryover partsfrom the now-dead Aventador flagship supercar, with the engine and its associated electric components likely producing at least 800 horsepower.

Back to the name Revuelto, which roughly translates as "unruly." As the first hybrid V12 from Sant'Agata, the Aventador successor could well be described as unruly, particularly if it has more than 800 ponies to play with. Lamborghini's chief technical officer, Rouven Mohr, explained earlier this year that the new car will use hybridization to make the driving experience more exciting, not to facilitate downsizing.

The CTO also revealed that the V12 successor would have an all-new gearbox, whichrecent video clips suggestwill be a dual-clutch system, meaning more refinement than the single-clutch semi-automatic seven-speed from the Aventador.
