This is probably the least glamorous element of a new supercar, but it’s the most important. That carbon fiber monofuselage we discussed earlier, with its remarkable weight savings and torsional rigidity improvements? It’s also safer for occupants and presents a world-first. The Revuelto is the first supercar in the world to feature a front crash structure made entirely of carbon fiber, and this offers double the energy absorption properties of a conventional front clip.
In addition, the Revuelto is the first Lambo with a complete advanced driver assistance system, which includes a lane keep assist system, a blind-spot monitor, and rear cross-traffic alert, something that anyone who’s ever reversed a Lamborghini would agree was sorely lacking from past products. A surround-view camera system is also included, so you have no excuse to curb those wheels. The Aventador had no more than airbags, stability control, and a rearview camera – the bare minimum required by law.
Then there’s Lamborghini Connect, a tracking system that allows an owner to monitor fuel level, battery charge, electric range, and the exact location in which the car is parked. In addition, the Unica app allows one to lock or unlock doors, sound the horn, or activate the lights (some of this can be done via an Apple Watch), all remotely. More importantly, the system allows the owner to set a certain speed or geographical limit and even a time in which the car is allowed to be used. The car can’t be remotely deactivated, but the owner will know if their 17-year-old son has gone for a joyride, where they went, at what time, and how fast they were going.
