The Revuelto had to follow the Aventador, which was never going to be comfortable. It keeps a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 - Lamborghini declined to turbocharge it - and adds three electric motors and a battery, so the flagship is now a plug-in hybrid making over a thousand horsepower that can also leave a car park in silence.

Visually it's a Lamborghini flagship, which means angles. Nothing on this car is curved if a straight line will do, and the Y motif in the lights repeats right through the body. Sharp shapes want hard light - a defined edge needs a defined highlight to exist at all - so a fixed overhead rig, which is a fight on most of the cars here, is closer to an advantage on this one.

The hybrid part changes the sound rather than the picture. A Lamborghini V12 has always been an audio-first product; you hear one before you decide how you feel about it. A car that can also move without making any noise is either a hole in the edit or the most interesting three seconds in it, depending entirely on whether you planned for it.
