A naturally aspirated V12 engine and three electrical motors produce 1001 hp. That is Bugatti territory.
An 850hp engine is backed by three electrical motors powered by a lithium-ion battery whereas the large new Revuelto can be a plug-in hybrid with an electric-only mode with restricted vary. A brand new 8-speed dual-clutch automated transmission will add refinement to the driving expertise that the Aventador’s single-clutch unit might by no means have managed. The sooner gearbox and intelligent new mechanism additionally infuse extra efficiency.
