Novitec turns Lamborghini Revuelto up to 11
Painted like a Diablo SE30, even more carbon, and almost 1,050hp - a Revuelto is perfect Novitec fodder
It would be fair to say that Lamborghini absolutely nailed the brief when it came to creating the Revuelto. Here’s a car that’s kept all the aural and visual drama of its wild Aventador predecessor, tangibly improved the driving experience, and very cleverly integrated hybridisation to the flagship V12. Here’s a Lamborghini that’s heavier and more complicated than the car that came before - but arguably better for it.
So despite an asking price nudging half a million, the Reveulto has proven popular. When Lamborghini confirmed another record year last year with almost 11,000 cars delivered, it pointed to a ‘growing market share of Revuelto’, which is some achievement for the most expensive series production Lambo ever. There are a baker’s dozen of them in the PH classifieds already. And when a car is popular, money-no-object customers will inevitably want a personal touch to make theirs unique. According to Lamborghini, moreover, 94 per cent of Sant’Agata supercars go through the Ad Personam program, so those who want to stand out need to try a bit harder. Step forward, Novitec…
Never ones to miss a supercar customising opportunity, the German tuner now has a range of parts for the Revuelto to make it ‘even more powerful, faster and more custom’. That being said, it's probably the paint that stands out most about this particular car, paying homage as it does to the famed Diablo SE30 of 1993. And Lamborghini, if you paid enough money, would probably paint a Revuelto Viola 30th.
What Novitec can add (and which looks brilliant with the colour, it must be said) are forged wheels designed with Vossen, and an array of carbon goodies from front splitter to rear diffuser. Maybe it could go without so much of the black stuff around the side skirts and intakes, though Novitec certainly wouldn’t be the first car company (both OEM and aftermarket) to go a bit carbon crazy on a supercar.
This one is also fitted with a set of Novitec’s lowering springs, which work in conjunction with the Revulto’s standard dampers. While there’s always a concern with a ride height drop in terms of rolling refinement, it’s hard to deny that the Lamborghini looks fabulous even closer to the ground. It would be a hard change to pass up, surely. As would a Novitec ‘fully thermally insulated high-performance exhaust system’ which, in conjunction with new cats, liberates another 33hp from the 6.5 V12. Probably it would be hard to tell the difference between 1,048hp and 1,015hp, but more is always better in the world of modified exotica. And the sound, if still not quite Ferrari epic, is pretty spectacular.
Novitec’s range of parts for the Lamborghini Revuelto is available now, so don’t be surprised to see one or two examples like this around the glamorous European resorts this summer. By which time we’ll probably know all about the Reveulto Roadster, and the process can start all over again. There’s a car that’s going to suit an aftermarket exhaust…
For the Revuelto, I think it carries the flag proudly. My kind of car, every drive would be an occasion! Much better than bland "heritage" crap the Ferrari is making at the moment.
Love it. Expensive though...
....but in any case and maybe it's a "more than the sum of its parts" situation, that looks absolutely amazing. Would have that, in that spec, in a heartbeat. For all the backlash some of the tuners get, they can certainly create some pretty cool stuff.

Love this, wow.
