New Delhi: A high-speed crash on VIP Road in Kanpur has pulled an Italian supercar into the middle of a public safety debate. On Sunday afternoon, a Lamborghini allegedly driven by the son of a tobacco tycoon rammed pedestrians and several vehicles, leaving at least six people injured. Police seized the car soon after, and the visuals spread fast across social media.

For many readers, the big question was simple. What Lamborghini was it? The car involved was the Lamborghini Revuelto, the brand’s current flagship in India.

What is the Lamborghini Revuelto?

The Revuelto arrived in India in December 2023 with an ex-showroom price of ₹8.89 crore, before loadings. It sits at the top of Lamborghini’s lineup and replaces the Aventador. The layout is mid-engined, with hybrid tech added for the first time on a V12 Lamborghini.

Under the skin is a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 paired with three electric motors and a 3.8 kWh battery. Combined output stands at 1,015 hp and 807 Nm. The car can sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in about 2.5 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 350 kmph. There is even a short electric-only range of roughly 10 km, which feels ironic in this context.

Design and cabin details enthusiasts talk about

The Revuelto carries sharp lines, Y-shaped LED lights, scissor doors, and high-mounted hexagonal exhausts. The staggered wheel sizes stand at 21 inches up front and 22 inches at the rear. Inside, three screens dominate the cabin, including a central touchscreen, a digital driver display, and a passenger screen. The switchgear looks inspired by fighter jets, something owners love showing off.

Lamborghini in India context and rivals

In India, the Revuelto goes up against cars like the Ferrari SF90 Stradale. Lamborghini reported sales of 111 units in India in 2025, which shows how rare these machines are on public roads. Incidents like the Kanpur crash also show why handling such power needs restraint, not just money.
