Compare the2024 Lamborghini RevueltoVS 2024 Ferrari 296

The Lamborghini Revuelto has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags helps prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The 296 doesn’t offer knee airbags.

The Revuelto Ultimae has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The 296 doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

The Revuelto’s lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane and gently nudges the vehicle back towards its lane. The 296 doesn’t offer a lane departure warning system.

The Revuelto has a standard 360 degree parking monitor to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The 296 only offers a rear monitor and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the front or sides.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the Revuelto’s standard Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side and automatically engage the brakes. The 296 doesn’t offer a rear cross-path warning system.

The Revuelto has standard GPS Response System, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to remotely unlock your doors if you lock your keys in or send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. The 296 doesn’t offer a GPS response system, only a navigation computer with no live response for emergencies, so if you’re involved in an accident and you’re incapacitated help may not come as quickly.

Both the Revuelto and the 296 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, daytime running lights and rearview cameras.

The Lamborghini Revuelto weighs 512 to 666 pounds more than the Ferrari 296. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The Revuelto’s 6.5 DOHC V12 hybrid produces 182 more horsepower (1001 vs. 819) than the 296’s 3.0 turbo V6 hybrid.

All wheel drive, available in the Revuelto, provides the best traction for acceleration in wet, dry, and icy conditions. In corners, all wheel drive allows both outside wheels to provide power, balancing the car. This allows for better handling. The Ferrari 296 is not available with all wheel drive.

For better stopping power the Revuelto’s brake rotors are larger than those on the 296:

For better traction, the Revuelto has larger standard tires than the 296 (F:265/35R20 & R:345/30R21 vs. F:245/35R20 & R:305/35R20). The Revuelto’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the 296 (F:265/30R21 & R:355/25R22 vs. F:245/35R20 & R:305/35R20).

The Revuelto’s standard 345/30R21 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the 296’s standard 35 series tires. The Revuelto’s optional 265/30R21 front and 355/25R22 rear tires have a lower 30 series front and 25 series rear profile than the 296’s 35 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Revuelto has standard 21-inch rear wheels. Only 20-inch wheels are available on the 296. The Revuelto offers optional 21-inch front and 22-inch rear wheels.

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires available on the Revuelto can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The 296 doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Revuelto’s wheelbase is 7 inches longer than on the 296 (109.4 inches vs. 102.4 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Revuelto is 2.1 inches wider in the front and 2.8 inches wider in the rear than on the 296.

The Revuelto’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (44% to 56%) than the 296’s (40.5% to 59.5%). This gives the Revuelto more stable handling and braking.

While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the Revuelto detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The 296 doesn’t offer automatic dimming high beams.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the Revuelto has a standard Adaptive Cruise Control, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic. The 296 doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.
