Aston Martin Valhalla
Engine & Performance
The Valhalla is getting a strong plug-in hybrid engine. It has a twin-turbo 4.0L V8 from Mercedes-AMG, which is kind of special. This engine sends power to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. There are also electric motors that power the front wheels and are part of the transmission. Altogether, the Valhalla has a whopping 998 hp. The gearbox has an electric reverse and a fancy electronically controlled thing in the back for better performance.
Price & Mileage
Aston Martin plans to make only 999 Valhallas, and they’ll come with a hefty price tag of around $800,000 each. The official EPA ratings and charging details for the Valhalla plug-in hybrid are still pending. But the manufacturer suggests a purely electric range of slightly more than 9 miles. Considering high-performance V8 engines aren’t exactly known for fuel efficiency. The standalone V8 might not go much beyond 15 mpg combined.
Acceleration & Features
With a swift eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and handy paddle shifters. The Valhalla dashes from 0-62 mph in just 2.5 seconds. Aston Martin has its sights set on a Nurburgring lap time of only six-and-a-half minutes. Surprisingly, despite its high-performance capabilities, the Valhalla can cruise in EV-only mode up to speeds of 80 mph. When the V8 kicks in, the top speed soars to an impressive 217 mph. While details about the Valhalla’s infotainment system are limited, it’s confirmed to support Aston’s upcoming user interface, featuring a touchscreen. The first is for the brand. Expect essential software like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with built-in navigation and a robust audio system.
Lamborghini Revuelto
Engine & Performance
This beast doesn’t dance. It roars with power. Under the hood is a mid-mounted 814-hp 6.5L V-12 engine, naturally aspirated and revving up to a thrilling 9500-rpm redline. Three electric motors play a crucial role. The first two drive the front wheels, while the third is integrated into the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, lending a hand to the V12 on the rear axle. The result is a staggering total output of 1001 hp, making it the most powerful Lamborghini ever and also outshining the 986-hp Ferrari SF90 Stradale as the mightiest plug-in hybrid. The Revuelto’s 3.8-kWh battery pack, snug between the bucket seats, provides just enough juice for about 5 miles on electric power alone.
Price & Mileage
Get ready to break the piggy bank if you’re eyeing Lamborghini’s latest powerhouse, the 1001-hp PHEV Revuelto because it comes with a hefty price tag starting at $608,358. While the EPA hasn’t spilt the beans on the official fuel economy figures yet, don’t hold your breath for impressive numbers. Given its plug-in hybrid nature, anticipate something along the lines of 9 mpg in the city and 16 mpg on the highway.
Acceleration & Features
We project that the Revuelto will sprint to 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds, hitting a top speed of 218 mph. Behind the wheel, the acceleration is downright thrilling, thanks to the instant power surge from the electric motors and the melodious howl of the V12. Setting it apart from other Lambos, the Revuelto embraces a digital interface. An 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen takes charge of various vehicle controls, including climate functions. Additionally, a 9.1-inch screen on the passenger-side dash displays speed, drive gear, and torque distribution, possibly inducing motion sickness. Meanwhile, a third 12.3-inch display manages gauge-cluster duties.
