duPont REGISTRY

Miura. Countach. Diablo. Murcielago. Aventador. The name of every halo car from the house that Ferruccio built. It’s an easy list to remember because Lamborghini builds memorable cars, and as the era of combustion draws to a close, the Italian manufacturer has one more name to add: Revuelto. The new Lamborghini Revuelto is a plug-in hybrid hypercar that produces a combined system output of 1,001 horsepower from its 6.5-literV12 and three electric motors. If you take the horsepower rating of the most powerful Countach ever sold and combine it with the most powerful Diablo, you’d still have less horsepower than the Revuelto. Lamborghini sure knows how to stuff a stat sheet, which is why the new Revuelto has earned a coveted place on this month’s cover of duPont REGISTRY. Follow along on…

WITH ITS TRI-MOTOR ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE SYSTEM, THE REVUELTO JOLTS TO 62 MPH IN 2.5 SECONDS AND 124 MPH IN UNDER 7 SECONDS. The Aventador’s long-awaited successor has arrived in the 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto — and it’s not just a new shell with old bones. The Revuelto houses an all-new V12 engine, three electric motors, and a dual-clutch transmission. Its brand-new frame and aviation-inspired monofuselage are made of carbon fiber for rigidity and to keep weight down, especially since the car now carries a lithium-ion battery pack. With so much novelty on board, it’s clear that Lamborghini’s internal-combustion-powered days are far from over. Visually, the Revuelto implements a fresh design language for Lamborghini, although we’ve seen subtle hints of the “Y” motif in current models like the Huracán Tecnica. This latest flagship takes the motif…

The performance SUV segment has grown considerably in the last decade. While the Lamborghini Urus kicked it off in 2018, the category now includes the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT and the latest entrant, the 2023 Aston Martin DBX 707. However, the British carmaker isn’t trying to produce another quick family hauler — this SUV positions itself as a proper supercar replacement. As its name suggests, the DBX 707 is all about the engine. It’s a Mercedes-AMG-sourced 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 whose Affalterbach origins are almost untraceable. To extract 155 horsepower and 147 pound-feet more torque than a standard DBX, Aston Martin gave the 707 new ball-bearing turbochargers and completely reworked the engine calibration. The result is a supercar fighting 697 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque output. To handle the 707’s increased power…

Supercar or hypercar ownership comes with a wealth of joyful emotions for any passionate enthusiast. But the reality is, those feelings tend to fade as tastes change and time passes. These circumstances prove to be even more predictable as leading manufacturers continue to release new models with improved design, performance, and technology. When the foreseeable day comes to make space in the garage for your next car purchase, it’s important to take the necessary presale steps to ensure a smooth transaction for the next owner. Along with the obvious measure of visually prepping your exotic with a thorough wash and detail, updating and securing all service record history will add value while also putting the buyer at ease in making their final decision. Listing a high-dollar vehicle on the appropriate selling…

It wasn’t all that long ago that hybrid-powered cars were dismissed as a punchline in the car community, written off as soulless city drivers with nothing to offer outside efficiency and reduced emissions. But three hybrid hypercars flipped the script a little over 10 years ago: the Porsche 918, the McLaren P1, and the Ferrari LaFerrari, all widely admired for their world-changing performance capabilities. The turn of a new decade has fulfilled the prophecy that this trinity set out: that hybrid power is the future of performance. Today’s hybrid performance cars pick up where the legendary trio left off and push the envelope even further, achieving immense power figures and contributing to incredible performance. But what is it about hybridization that called for such an about-face? Cars like the Lamborghini Revuelto, Chevrolet…

RECENT RULING Recently, when the winner of a grand prix crosses the finish line, their entire pit crew is on the pit wall cheering them on. This has led to some of the most iconic photos throughout the years. The pure joy and excitement on the faces of the winning or even podium-placing team is a sight to behold. Now, these moments are gone due to a recent rule enforcement that was put in place before the Melbourne Grand Prix. Released in pre-weekend event safety notes, F1 race director Niels Wittich noted that “it is forbidden to climb on pitwall debris fence at any time.” THE RULE Interestingly enough, this news shouldn’t be shocking if you take a look at FIA’s International Sporting Code. Appendix H, Article 2.3.2 specifically states that “team personnel…
