Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy, April 6, 2024 - Automobili Lamborghini celebrates the inaugural Lamborghini Arena event with an exclusive Revuelto created by the company’s Ad Personam customization program. The program recently opened its new studio at the Lamborghini headquarters.
The car has a striking exterior with contrasting hues and new carbon fiber elements. The bodywork is painted in Grigio Hati (gray) with details in Verde Scandal (green), highlighting the car’s lower line, roof, mirror caps, and rear diffuser surrounds, along with Verde Chiaro (light green) brake calipers. The rear part features the Italian flag with red, white, and green stripes on the lower surface of the moving wing. Additionally, the hood has two racing-style stripes in Nero Noctis (black), emphasizing the car’s performance attitude as a V12 super sports car.
The roof, rear “contango,” spoiler, air intakes, sill inserts, and other details are made of high-gloss exposed carbon fiber, giving the elements a shiny effect enhanced by the 21-inch (front) and 22-inch (rear) high-gloss black Altanero alloy wheels.
The interior trim matches the exterior colors. It includes black sports seats with stitching and piping in a green hue called Verde Scandal. Additionally, there are carbon fiber plates with “Lamborghini Arena 2024” and “Ad Personam” logos at the dashboard’s ends.
The Revuelto is the first V12 hybrid plug-in super sports HPEV (High-Performance Electrified Vehicle). It is equipped with a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 mid-engine combined with three electric motors, one of which is integrated into the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The vehicle delivers a maximum torque of 725 Nm at 6750 rpm and a maximum power output of 1015 CV.
• Lamborghini Revuelto can reach a top speed of over 350 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds!
