As part of the partnership, Yanmar will be able to take advantage of various marketing and promotional activities provided by the Braves.

Two pillars of the present-day disco and funk worlds, Purple Disco Machineand French superstar Kungs team up for their newest release, “Substitution,”out now via Sony Music Germany/RCA Records. Kicking off the year with this surprising collaboration, the two internationally acclaimed producers prove they are the perfect party-starting pair with a single earmarked to be a dancefloor favorite. The two artist’s relationship flourished when they met at several festivals, with “Substitution”embodying that pure excitement and energy only found dancing next to boogie-loving punters. Combining their innate abilities to bring people together to party, the two teamed up and worked together in Purple Disco Machine’s Dresden studio to iron out the track rather than just sending files back and forth, ensuring an authentic disco hit.
It signals Purple Disco Machine’s first single since earning the 2023 Grammy for Best Remixed Recordingfor his remix of Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” and follows a tremendous few years of success for the electronic virtuoso. The prestigious producer has earned a reputation as a chart-topper with his collaborations with Sophie and the Giants in “Hypnotized” and “In The Dark,”while alsobringing out a catalogue of hits along the journey to the 2021 release of his sophomore album Exotica. Meanwhile, Kungs has earned his crown as the leader of the French electronic revolution with his 2022 album Club Azur proving his aptitude for making people move with airplay-chart hits such as “Clap Your Hands”and “Never Going Home.” He embeds that dance floor flavor into “Substitution,” only complementing Purple Disco Machine’s own flair for groove-laden beats.
The pair exhibit a perfect musical marriage of Italo-disco influences to ensure dancefloor excellence and a lyricism that will sing away at your heart. In apropos fashion for both men, the single kicks off with enchanting piano chords and a signature funk-fueled bassline. Sampling the iconic 1984 hit “Big in Japan” from Alphaville, there is a sense of poise and class within the production while the two simultaneously exude a carefree charisma that permeates throughout “Substitution.” The disco-heat melds effortlessly with the soulful-pop hooks that will have you getting lost in the lust of the lyrics. However, while you’ll be singing along it’ll be evidently clear that the two artist’s roots come from the human experience found on the club dancefloor, as is conspicuous throughout the vibrant production.

Beau Gravitte, the impactful actor and performer, has a career that includes great appearances on television as well as broadway. Beau now acts as the Artistic Director for the Actors Studio.
The Actors Studio was founded in 1946 Elia Kazan, Cheryl Crawford, and Robert Lewis. The studio allowed for creative expression amongst artists, as well as well as opportunities for personal growth. Through the studio, artists were able to further hone in on their craft alongside counterparts interested in advancing in the arts as well. Beau Gravitte recounts his experience, “I didn’t really know much about the Actors Studio. I had just been in the city for a few years. I knew someone who was auditioning, and he had asked me to be his scene partner. I went to his prelim and they accepted both of us.”
The founders of the group set forth on their mission of redefining the artistry of acting. They showcased techniques and other helpful tips that would allow for an artist to express not only themselves but their truth onstage. Beau Gravitte was able to take part in these workshops after his entrance to the studio, “I would come in with my notebook, and I would just soak it in.” The workshop imprinted a great influence on American acting throughout the 20th century, and the practices used from the studio’s inscription continue to guide the newest generations of actors joining the scene.
Lee Strasberg, the founding Artistic Director for the studio has impacted the ways in which artists act and has been responsible for the creation of many exercises and techniques entitled “The Method”. Beau Gravitte’s entrance in the studio came after the passing Strasberg. During the run of Light in the Piazza on Broadway, Gravitte was asked to take on a role as part of the Board of Directors for the Actors Studio. Later he would be asked to become the Artistic Director. Gravitte stated, “We have a lot going on. My job is to let creative people do what they do. My job is to foster the creativity of the members. That’s the fun part of the job.” Gravitte joins 3 impactful co presidents, Ellen Burstyn, Alec Baldwin, Al Pacino.
Membership in the studio is free for all and actors were expected to complete auditions for a place in the studio. Once those auditions are completed, the actors are able to join part of the great studio. The Actors Studio is partnered with Pace University to offer a 3-year Masters in Fine Arts (MFA) Degree at their Actors Studio Drama School (ASDS).
The Studio has made TV appearances, including “Inside the Actors Studio” an award winning inside glimpse to the creative genius of many great artists.
Celebrated for her paintings of timeless subjects in everyday moments of happiness, comradery, and solitude, Yiadom-Boakye’s lush oils portray fictitious characters rendered in loose brushwork set against dramatic backgrounds.
The artist’s parallel practice of writing is visible in the poetic and thought-provoking titles that accompany the artworks acting as companions rather than explanations of the works.
Details including clothing or costumes, footwear or the lack thereof dislocate the figures from any particular time or place.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. No Twilight Too Mighty,an exhibition that shows for the first time a selection of over 70 paintings and charcoal drawings created between 2020 and 2023 by artist and writer Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. The show thus provides a rich opportunity to observe the continuum in the artist’s practice of creating evocative paintings that relate to the human experience. Yiadom-Boakye has recently returned to making charcoal drawings, which have a sense of immediacy given their intimate scale and air of improvisation. Seen in tandem with the paintings, the depth of the artist’s skillful handling of different media is evident.

Rovagnati, the industry’s premier charcuterie producer, announced the debut of the Paolo Rovagnati Line, a selection of premium salumi products, in January 2023. Rovagnati, a proud brand dedicated to preserving time-honored Italian traditions, expands with the new and sumptuous Paolo Rovagnati Collection, which redefines premium deli meat.
The line’s elegant and unique packaging offers tips describing the best methods to cook each cut as well as particular wine-matching recommendations, ensuring buyers receive an authentic flavor of Italy with each dish.
“The versatility of this line is the characteristic mark of each Paolo Rovagnati product,” stated Gabriele Rusconi, Rovagnati’s General Manager. “The series is ideal for appetizers, lunch, and dinner.” Italian salumi is an amazing depiction of Italian cuisine culture, in addition to being our particular love.”
The Paolo Rovagnati Collection is intended to appeal to various tastes. The delicate taste and distinctive spice combination of the original Salame Milano, or the peppery and smoky flavor of the lean Salame Napoli, are both favorites among salami connoisseurs. Those looking for something more intense may try the Hot Soppressata, which is also Italy’s most popular salami. Those looking for a more familiar taste might choose the Traditional Mortadella, a classic pork shoulder, and neck cut distinguished by its vivid pink hue and pearly white spots.
Prosciutto lovers may choose between the Prosciutto Crudo and the Prosciutto Cotto Classic. The former, known as “Gran Milano” in Italy, is a dry-cured ham made with just three ingredients: flesh, salt, and time.
The Gran Biscotto is also Rovagnati’s most popular cooked ham in Italy, created from fresh hog thighs handled by hand and carefully steamed in the oven. The cured items, which include all three Salamis and the Prosciutto Crudo, come in 3-oz. portions.
Rovagnati also makes his debut with the Paolo Rovagnati No. 1. Salami Sticks come in three varieties: Hot & Spicy, Classic Mild, and Smoke Flavor. The salami sticks are ideal for enjoying this Italian classic. These come in 2-oz. sizes.
The Rovagnati team has stressed product and process quality from the company’s inception. These ideals are most evident in the company’s approach to its supply chain, as the Rovagnati team carefully and methodically selects the meats used in their products and monitors the whole supply chain, all while completely respecting the environment, people, and food safety. This degree of attention is reflected in the brand’s high-quality goods, each tailored cut to offer customers an excellent taste experience. Rovagnati has been serving the Italian people for almost 80 years with the same degree of attention.
Paolo Rovagnati founded the premium brand that currently bears his name in Milan, Italy, in 1943 to offer a high-quality selection of charcuterie while also celebrating Italian technological know-how. A combination of quality, expertise, and attention to detail in raw materials results in a mix of classic Italian goods and new items supplemented by creative tastes and technologies that distinguish the brand.
The whole Paolo Rovagnati Collection will be offered to consumers in 2023, with packages initially available in over 2,000 US retailers and rising.

Paolo Rovagnati’s History
Rovagnati has left an indelible mark on the world of Italian prosciutti with his enthusiasm for invention and attention to excellence. This 100% Italian enterprise based in Lombardy specializes in creating premium, high-quality prosciutto cotto (cooked ham) and other cured delicacies like Salame Felino.
Rovagnati’s story begins in the little town of Biassono, in the northern Italian region of Lombardy, in the year 1941. In order to meet the need for high-quality versions of the mainstays of their area, butter and cheese, Ferruccio Rovagnati and his son Paolo founded the company. They had no clue that prosciutto would become their claim to fame.
Paolo convinced his father to start experimenting with salumi and prosciutti manufacturing in the 1960s, during the height of the economic boom. The curious son was looking at cutting-edge manufacturing methods. It occurred to him that they might produce an excellent cooked ham (prosciutto cotto), which was traditionally considered inferior to its raw counterpart, the crudo.
They say the rest is history. Paolo helped to build and extend his father’s business thanks to their long-standing commitment and loyalty to their clientele, finally taking over the firm in 1968. Since then, the Lombardia-based firm has grown and gained a worldwide reputation and significance. The Italian company is known for its cutting-edge technology, commitment to quality and innovation, and its trademark product, Gran Biscotto.
The Gran Briscotto
Paolo had a vision in the early 1970s to create a unique and premium-grade prosciutto cotto. After many years of testing raw ingredients and manufacturing procedures, he developed the very first iterations of what is now known as Gran Biscotto.
Gran biscotto translates to “large biscuit” in Italian. Paolo knew that his loving wife Claudia would be the harshest critic of his new premium ham, so he handed it to her to try. When you eat something extraordinary in Milan, you usually exclaim, “come un biscotto,” meaning, “it’s like a cookie.” Claudia was so pleased with Paolo’s prosciutto that she exclaimed, “This is not a biscuit; it is a magnificent biscuit!”
Rovagnati’s Gran Biscotto prosciutto cotto is cooked gently for 12 hours before resting for up to 4 weeks. Before cooking, hog legs are painstakingly hand-boned and rubbed for up to 72 hours with a proprietary combination of herbs and spices! The result? A juicy, delicate prosciutto cotto with a unique taste and fragrance.
Paolo came up with the brilliant idea of fire branding their premium prosciutto with the term Gran Biscotto a few years after it was named. This slight change in manufacturing allowed their product to stand out from the crowd and remain at the forefront of their consumers’ thoughts.
Rovagnati now provides unique variants flavored with herbs, spices, truffles, and the exquisite plain version of Gran Biscotto prosciutto cotto. Believe us when we tell you that this highly regarded prosciutto cotto is nothing like the deli ham from your school lunches!
Living a stress-filled life seems inevitable. The hustle and busyness are even celebrated as markers of success and achievement. We wear our exhaustion like a badge of honor, but should we?
We have created lives with such little room for managing the aftermath of our stressors, that managing our stress feels like an unsolvable predicament. It doesn’t have to be. The problem – our evenings and weekends aren’t long enough to repair the damage done to our bodies during the week. And waiting for retirement isn’t the answer either. The solution – cope ahead of time!
All over the world people are experiencing unmatched levels of stress. It permeates every aspect of our lives, yet we are not taught how to navigate life with stress effectively.
We are born with a biological system that is pre-programmed to respond to any environmental or psychological threat. Once a threat is detected, our bodies automatically release stress hormones that lead to a physiological change within our sympathetic nervous system. From an evolutionary perspective, our ancestors having a well-tuned ‘fight or flight’ response is how we are here today!
To put this into context, our ancestors used this system to survive potential animal attacks, food shortages, or deadly weather conditions. Today, we are using this system to answer emails, meet deadlines, manage our calendars, have conversations, and deal with traffic!
On any given day, your stress system is activated. We experience stress from major life events – planned and unplanned – and also from daily stressors. We are constantly reacting to our stress-filled lives. Our biological systems were not meant for this. The silent creep of stress that goes unaddressed is concerning. It is one of the reasons why we have so many people experiencing burnout.
Researchers like Dr. Kelly McGonigal have helped us understand that it is not the stress itself that is linked to negative outcomes, but our perceptions of stress. Responding to and working with stress can allow us to live our healthiest, happiest, most productive lives in this unwell world.
With people all over the world trapped in a chronic stress cycle, how can we proactively prepare for stress instead of reacting when it arises?
The answer? We need to find kinder ways of stressing. To be well – personally and professionally – in these ever-changing and challenging times, we need a new approach. We need to learn how to stress wisely!
Rather than trying to address everything all at once, we can begin by learning about our personal stress patterns and behaviors.
Understand how you stress: How does stress show up in your life? How are your thoughts and actions different when you feel stressed?
Identify your sources of stress: Where is your stress coming from? List them.
Develop self-awareness of your stress signals and go-to responses: What does your stress behavior look like? What are your patterns? What does your coping look like?
Identify how you would like to respond to your stress: How do you want to express your stress? Who models stress responses well that you can learn from?
Try this: SEE IT (notice it). NAME IT (is this stress?). PLACE IT (where it is coming from?). ACTION IT (let it do its job and watch it work). Remember, stress is meant to be noticeable and make you act.
Once you’ve identified the presence of stress and any triggers in your life, you can then explore a more proactive approach to stressing wisely.

According to Dr. Ryan Niemiec, a lead researcher in character strengths and well-being, we can use a strengths-based approach to manage stress. We all have signature strengths, or inner capacities that are unique to us, that we can use to navigate daily stressors. For example, if your strength is critical thinking, use that to reframe a negative situation. If prudence is your character strength, create to-do, to-be, and not-to-do lists to manage your days and stress. Use your skills, gifts, and talents to aid in your proactive stress practices.
2. Boundaries
Boundaries are necessary for protecting our peace and for coping ahead of time. Boundary setting is a life-enhancing system of ‘yes’ and ‘no’ that can bring clarity to how far you can go, how much you can handle, or how much you can hold. When you set and hold boundaries, you are putting yourself first and affirming that your wellness matters. Knowing your non-negotiables helps here too. Where is your line?
Types of boundaries we can set:
Physical – Honour your body, home, and space.
Time/Energy – Own your time and energy. Schedule in recovery time.
Mental – Protect your mental state.
Material – Set limits to your giving or lending of material goods.
Emotional – Hold the freedom to think and feel how you like.
3. Feelings Before Behaviors
Think about how you want to feel in the moment and then go for the behavior to make this feeling come to life. This is about matching your energy and mood. Want to feel focused? Try writing a to-do list. Want to feel refreshed? Take a nap. Want to feel energized? Get outside. Remember – mood follows action. Don’t wait to be overwhelmed to then try and manage a full day. Get out ahead of a full day.
4. Create a Joy Playbook
When we are in a state of distress, it can be hard to bring up positive emotions. Research shows that when we remember things, we re-live those feel-good hormones over again, and it can shift our mood. Can you create a running record of your go-to behaviors or environments that bring you joy and help you feel better for the next time you are experiencing stress?
Ask: What works for me? Make a list of common stressors and how you will cope.
When angry – Exercise
When overwhelmed – Write it out
When stagnate – Get outside
When sad – Seek out a release or expression (i.e., music, journaling)
When scared- Seek out community or a trusted friend
All in all, we want to ‘cope ahead’ of time when we can to reduce the likelihood of reacting when stress arises. What are steps you can proactively take to make “later”, whether that is this evening or weeks from now, easier and more manageable? Is it meal-prepping? Creating notes for a presentation? Getting a good night’s sleep? Rehearsing for a difficult conversation? Scheduling a walk after a meeting?
Stress is inherent to life. We cannot out think stress or run far enough away from it, nor should we want to. The biggest takeaway here is that stress is not the enemy. You can make stress your ally and learn how to proactively prepare for it and work with it. This shift in thinking can be transformational for how you live your day-to-day life and even your biology!

Sant’Agata Bolognese, 29 March 2023 – In the marque’s 60th anniversary year, Automobili Lamborghini presents Revuelto1, the first super sports V12 hybrid plug-in HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle). Revuelto defines a new paradigm in terms of performance, sportiness and driving pleasure from its unprecedented new architecture; innovative design; maximum-efficiency aerodynamics; and a new carbon frame concept. An output of 1015 CV is delivered from the combined power of an entirely new combustion engine together with three electric motors, alongside a double-clutch gearbox that makes its debut on a 12-cylinder Lamborghini for the first time.
The powertrain combines high specific power elements: the new 127 CV/liter combustion engine works synergically with two front axial flux motors that deliver an outstanding weight-to-power ratio, with a radial flux electric motor positioned above the first eight-speed double-clutch gearbox debuting on a 12-cylinder Lamborghini. The three electric motors are powered by a lithium-ion high specific power (4500 W/kg) battery pack that also supports a fully-electric drive mode.
“The new Revuelto is a milestone in the history of Lamborghini, and an important pillar in our Direzione Cor Tauri electrification strategy,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini Chairman and CEO. “It is a unique and innovative car but at the same time faithful to our DNA: the V12 is an iconic symbol of our super sports heritage and history. Revuelto was born to break the mold, combining a new 12-cylinder engine with hybrid technology, creating the perfect balance between delivering the emotion that our clients want with the necessity to reduce emissions.”
Carbon fiber, produced via artisan craftmanship in the Sant’Agata Bolognese factory, is the principal structural element within the new car, used not only in the monofuselage and frame but also for many elements of the bodywork. The extensive use of carbon fiber and lightweight materials, combined with the potent engine power, contributes to achieving the best weight-topower ratio in the history of Lamborghini: 1.75 kg/CV.
The new Revuelto combines these attributes to deliver performance figures at the peak of its segment: acceleration from 0-100 km/h in only 2.5 seconds and a top speed of more than 350
km/h. These numbers combine with its exceptional dynamism thanks to the introduction of electric torque vectoring, and four-wheel drive available also in fully-electric drive mode, ensuring the Revuelto super sports car expresses its amplified qualities both on track and in daily driving.
“With Revuelto we take the experience of driving a Lamborghini to a superior level,” said Rouven Mohr, Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer. “Revuelto takes a significant step forward in terms of reactivity and responsiveness to ensure the most emotive and natural driving in every environment. Revuelto is a car delivering the highest performance but our objective right from the start was to confirm it at the very summit of driving emotions.”
Design
Revuelto brings the future of Lamborghini design to the road today. It staysconstant to theexclusive Lamborghini design DNA but establishes an entirely new stylistic language. It links with the iconic and legendary Lamborghini V12 cars of the past throughout the new shape, while the new proportions open the door towards the future.
While Revuelto delivers a quantum leap in an all-new car design, both externally and internally, theinspiration of previous V12 legends is still clear. Starting with the 1971 Countach prototype and its perfect proportions developed on a single longitudinal line, this car was responsible for creating a pure and essential style contextualized in the Space Age era. Itdefined the Lamborghini V12 super sports car DNA and introduced one of the most distinctive Lamborghini V12 elements: the vertically-opening scissor doors, which contribute to creating the character of Revuelto.
The new car also defers to the inimitable proportions of the Diablo and the floating blade on the rear fender, while the muscularity and inclined front of the Murciélago is evident.
“The Revuelto is adrenaline made visible,”saysMitja Borkert, Lamborghini Head of Design. “The design of the new Lamborghini Revuelto opensa fascinating door towards the future of our unique design language. From first sight, Revuelto is an intriguing next-generation Lamborghini V12, with all lines embracing the monocoque and celebrating a free view towards the V12 HPEV powertrain.
“The unique and recognizable Y-shape light signature is significant in this new era of our most iconic flagship car, and the interior is a dramatic leap forward in defining the new design direction of Lamborghini. Our philosophy of “feel like a pilot” is vivid and visible in every detail: the driver and passenger are deeply integrated in the very lightweight Y-shape design of dashboard and center console, replicating the sensations of being in a race car but with a perfect intuitive balance between digital and physical controls.”
With the Revuelto, Lamborghini launches a new Space Race, ushering in a design language that adapts to the challenges imposed by electrification, and presaging the shapes and proportions of super sports cars of the near future. The design is inspired by aerospace elements, characterized by sculpted surfaces encompassed by two lines that start from the front and embrace the cabin and engine, tapering down to the hexagonal-shaped exhausts.
The aerospace elements blend harmoniously with an animalistic muscularity starting at the front: the shark-nose section modeling of the broad monolithic carbon-fiber hood conveys a sense of power and speed. This is matched by the headlamp clusters with Y-shape daytime running lights-a distinctive stylistic feature of contemporary Lamborghini design – framed by aerodynamic blades that connect the splitter to the hood itself. The side fins, located behind the front wheel arches, channel the airflow along the sides and the pronounced concavities of the doors to the side air intakes, which feature sharp edges that echo the arrows on the front.
The roof combines more headroom with aesthetic qualities and specific aerodynamic functions. The recessed profile channels air to the rear wing but at the same time allows more headroom in the cabin for both the driver and passenger.
The rear is a tribute to the hybrid V12. The fully-exposed longitudinal engine highlights the mechanical heart of the Revuelto, visually connecting it to the double hexagonal exhaust surmounted by the geometrically profiled wing, framed by headlamp clusters with the Yshape light signatures.
The “Y” is also the hallmark of the driver-oriented interior design influenced by the “feel like a pilot” philosophy. The interior mirrors the all-new futuristic design of the exterior: every aspect of the cockpit is clearly Lamborghini, combining a perfect balance between a digital and physical experience both in daily driving and track environments. The visual center of the cabin houses a pronounced carbon-fiber profile, with a “space-ship” design that encloses the central air vents and the 8.4” vertical touchscreen, the technological heart of the car.
With Revuelto Lamborghini initiates a new immersive, shared driving experience, where pilot and co-pilot can simultaneously view the same information on the displays located in the 12.3” digital cockpit on the driver’s side and on the 9.1” display installed on the passenger-side dashboard. Revuelto introduces the “swipe” function in a Lamborghini, allowing the pilot and co-pilot to move applications and information from the central display to the side displays with the same intuitive, gestural ease as using a smartphone. The three digital screens not only respond to the need for stylistic cleanness that enabled most of the physical buttons to be eliminated, but implement new features that allow the driver to concentrate fully on driving, just as ina race car.
The steering wheel was inspired by the racing world and the experience of the Essenza SCV12. The four rotors located on the spokes are used for selecting both the driving modes and the car’s lifting system and rear wing tilt. The intuitive design of the cockpit and controls deliver a distinctive Lamborghini feeling: buttons are used to activate the turn signals and the launch control among other functions, while allowing the driver to maintain an optimal grip on the steering wheel at all times.
The Revuelto juxtaposes its personality as a track-inspired super sports car with a character designed for everyday driving with exceptional functionality. Significant attention was given in the design stages to ensure the cabin is roomy and practical as well as perfectly equipped for track-day outings. The roof design offers 26 mm more headroom than theAventador Ultimae, while the new monofuselage provides 84 mm more legroom, leaving additional space behind the seats to accommodate luggage up to the size of a golf bag. This space is in addition to the compartment under the front hood, which can hold two cabin trolleys. Moreover, to make life on board even more comfortable, functional elements such as storage compartments located under the center dashboard and between the two seats have been included, as well as a cup holder built into the passenger-side dashboard.
Personalization
Revuelto is the production Lamborghini model that offers the most potential for personalization. In fact, 400 bodywork colors are offered together with many more personalization options at the client’s disposal allowing the creation of an entirely individual super sports car. The sustainable sportiness of Revuelto does not stop at the technical specification of the plug-in hybrid: all the paints used are water based rather than solvent based.
‘Sustainability’ continues throughout the car’s interior, reflecting the company’s attention to avoiding waste that has become the modus operandi of the Lamborghini universe. This includes upholstery materials, cut in the Lamborghini ‘selleria’ utilizing latest-generation machinery: this limits waste as much as possible without affecting the craftmanship and embroidery processes, in which ‘hand-made’ continues as a point of excellence within Lamborghini.
The cabin is characterized by the presence of visible carbon fiber used on the dashboard, in the hexagonal air vents and to frame the dashboard and central vents. The upholstery combines fine leathers with the new ultralight Corsa-Tex fabric in Dinamica® microfiber, made of recycled polyester via a water-based production process. The customer can customize the interior of his car by opting for a balanced mix of leather and Corsa-Tex, or favor one material depending on his preference, with 70 color options available.
Aerodynamics
Function and style share a singular mission on the Lamborghini Revuelto: aerodynamic efficiency. The new layout of the super sports car has different design requirements compared to the Aventador, which influenced the car’s aerodynamic development. The development was based on four pillars: efficiency; synergy between the components; integration between the components; and design.
Optimum efficiency was achieved by combining high downforce and minimized drag. One of the key elements in this strategy is the new active rear wing, created to ensure the best aerodynamic performance in all driving conditions. For this reason, entirely new actuators have been developed, managing the load optimally in every situation thanks to three different settings.
The position of the wing changes according to the driving mode and dynamics, or it can be changed manually by the driver according to his or her preferences using the dedicated rotor on the steering wheel. The “closed” position (low drag) ensures minimum resistance, for example when driving in electric mode. This position is also the most suitable for fuel economy. It improves top speed values while still ensuring stability. The “high downforce position” on the other hand, maximizes downforce by optimizing the agility and handling of the Revuelto.
The front section of the new super sports car from Sant’Agata is distinguished by a carbon fiber splitter with a radial leading edge in the central part and slanted in the lateral part, generating vortices that increase frontal load and deflect the air, avoiding the wheels. The central area has a shape that channels the flow to four rear vortex generators, consisting of narrow curved blades positioned in the underbody that are essential for increasing the energy of the airflow that strikes the car at the bottom. This, in turn, generates additional downforce and directs the airflow toward the diffuser, which has never been so extreme in a V12. The diffuser performs aerodynamic functions by extracting the incoming flow from the underbody via a differentiated channeling system between the central part with low slant (11° vs. the 7° of the Aventador Ultimae) and the lateral part with high slant (15° vs. 8° of the Aventador Ultimae). The diffuser also performs a structural and cooling function for the engine compartment.
In summary, the new design approach enabled the Revuelto to increase the front aerodynamic load by 33% and the rear load by 74% compared to the Aventador Ultimae (under maximum load conditions).
The synergy between components is evident in the focus placed on the cooling pattern that distinguishes the new Lamborghini Revuelto. The front radiator generates hot air that must be managed in the correct way so as not to impair the performance of the side radiators. Outwardfacing louvers on the front radiator outlet grille direct the flow of hot air away from the wheel and away from the side radiators, while fins located on either side of the front bumper reduce aerodynamic drag.
All the elements have been designed and engineered to optimize airflow. Even the door handles perform an aerodynamic function thanks to the Y-section wing profile: a solution that allows them to divert the flow of fresh air they receive from the front hood to one of the horizontal fins located along the side, directing it toward the radiator.
The maximum integration between the components is evident in the cooling pattern of the brake system, where aerodynamics becomes part of the system. The pair of front suspension deflectors and the grille inside the wheel arches are designed to improve not only the cooling of the front brakes – the deflectors draw air from the front diffuser and channel it to the brake – but they are shaped to reduce resistance inside the wheel well, limiting any compression phenomena while increasing the load at the front.
At the rear end, the two NACA ducts located in front of the rear wheels collect flow from the underbody and direct it to the rear brake cooling duct.
The carbon fiber roof also plays an important aerodynamic role with a structural function that improves interior roominess. The wing profile design with a hollowed-out central part directs air to the rear air intakes, and consequently to the inverter and electric motor located on the gearbox, while the roof’s side volumes provide more headroom for both driver and passenger.
