Best features of Lamborghini Revuelto 'Opera Unica' supercar
What's the story
To commemorate its 60th anniversary, legendary Italian marque Lamborghini has taken the wraps off a special Revuelto model at the Art Basel Miami Beach 2023 event. Called the 'Opera Unica,' this one-off model features a unique multi-color paint scheme that took 435 hours to complete. Here's a look at the best features of the carmaker's first-ever high-performance electrified vehicle.
Context
Why does this story matter?
The Revuelto is the spiritual successor to the Aventador and stands as the most powerful production series Lamborghini to date. The automaker's first-ever V12 hybrid powertrain churns out a maximum power of 1,015hp, which is rare in the supercar category. Now, to celebrate a special occasion, the carmaker has revealed a one-off hand-painted model, created by its Ad Personam customization division.
Design
Firstly, let's look at the design of the Revuelto
The Lamborghini Revuelto is underpinned by a carbon fiber composite chassis. It features the iconic wedge-shaped silhouette from its predecessor and has sleek LED headlights, Y-shaped DRLs, a prominent front splitter, scissor doors, large air scoops, and blacked-out multi-spoke wheels. The rear end of the supercar has Y-shaped LED taillamps, centrally mounted dual exhausts, a carbon-fiber diffuser, and an active flush-fitted spoiler.
Information
The hand-painted exterior fades from Viola Pasifae to Nero Helene
To make the one-off Revuelto special, Lamborghini's Ad Personam division has a hand-painted color scheme that fades from Viola Pasifae to Nero Helene. With brushstroke details of warm and cool colors, the process added 76 hours of testing and 435 hours to execute.
Interiors
Its special two-tone interior is finished with Alcantara upholstery
Inside, Lamborghini has matched the exterior styling by creating a two-tone finish with premium Alcantara and leather upholstery. It took the carmaker an additional 220 hours to complete the asymmetric design in Nero Ade and Viola Acutus colors. The seat's backrests, the door inserts, and the headliners are embroidered with the 60th-anniversary logo using matching warm and cool shades from the exteriors.
Performance
It runs on a V12 engine with a hybrid system
Under the hood, the special Lamborghini Revuelto houses a 6.5-liter V12 petrol engine that delivers 825hp of power and 725Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a hybrid setup with three electric motors (two at the rear, one in the front), bringing the combined output to an impressive 1,015hp. The power is distributed to all four wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
