Lamborghini Just Gave Its 1,001-HP Revuelto The Miura Treatment
The Lamborghini Miura turns 60 this year, and blowing out candles was never going to be dramatic enough for Sant’Agata. Instead, Lamborghini has dressed its 1,001-horsepower Revuelto flagship in some of the Miura’s most recognizable colors and details, creating a limited-run tribute that connectsLamborghini Revuelto Miura 60° Homage two very different eras of V12 madness.
Called the Lamborghini Revuelto Miura 60° Homage, the special series will make its public debut during Monterey Car Week. Only 99 examples will be produced, ensuring that spotting one in the wild may be almost as difficult as convincing its owner to hand over the keys.
The Lamborghini Miura Created The Supercar Blueprint
Unveiled in 1966, the Miura is widely regarded as the world’s first super sports car. Its mid-mounted V12, outrageous proportions, and Marcello Gandini-designed body helped establish the basic formula that exotic carmakers are still following six decades later.
In its most powerful production form, the Miura delivered approximately 380 hp and could exceed 180 mph. Those figures were extraordinary during the 1960s, especially for something that looked like it had escaped from an Italian designer’s wildest sketchbook.
The Miura was beautiful, fast, and slightly intimidating. In other words, it set the tone for practically every Lamborghini that followed.
The Revuelto is a very different animal. It uses a naturally aspirated V12 assisted by three electric motors, but the basic mission remains familiar: make something loud, outrageous, and impossible to ignore.
Lamborghini is not attempting to disguise the Revuelto as a 1960s classic. Instead, the Miura 60° Homage borrows carefully selected details from the original and applies them to the company’s modern hybrid flagship.
Nine Historic Colors Bring The Miura Back To Life
Buyers can choose from nine exterior colors inspired by shades historically offered on the Miura. The selection includes Rosso Arancio, Arancio, Giallo, Verde Scandal, Verde Metallic, Blu Tahiti, Blu Notte, Nero Noctis, and Bianco Monocerus. Because this is Lamborghini, simply choosing a body color is only the beginning.
Two dedicated liveries recreate the contrasting lower-body treatment seen on many classic Miuras. One pairs Oro Elios accents with shiny gold Altanero wheels, while the other combines Grigio Nimbus trim with matte titanium diamond-finished wheels.
The tribute continues with a dedicated Miura 60 logo near the rear wheel arch, gloss-black Lamborghini lettering at the back, black brake calipers, and matte-black exhaust tips. None of these additions radically changes the Revuelto, but together they give the modern supercar a convincing dose of 1960s Lamborghini flavor.
Inside, the seats feature a modern interpretation of the Miura’s distinctive “cannelloni” upholstery pattern. Leather covers the center tunnel, door panels, and rear bulkhead, while Miura 60 embroidery sits between the seats.
A carbon-fiber plaque identifies each example as part of the 99-car series. Owners who already possess a historic Miura can even work with Lamborghini’s Ad Personam department to match the Revuelto to their classic car’s original color combination. That could result in one seriously expensive matching garage.
This Miura Tribute Has More Than 1,000 HP
The Revuelto Miura 60° Homage keeps the regular car’s plug-in hybrid powertrain, which combines a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 with three electric motors. Total output stands at 1,001 hp and 595 lb-ft of torque. Lamborghini claims the Revuelto can launch from 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds and exceed 217 mph.
That makes it far quicker and more powerful than the Miura it celebrates, but the real connection has little to do with numbers. Both cars represent Lamborghini taking the most advanced performance technology available and wrapping it in styling designed to make bedroom posters jealous. Pricing has not been announced, although exclusivity rarely comes with a discount in Sant’Agata. A standard Revuelto already costs well over half a million dollars once options enter the conversation, and this one comes with special paint, historical significance, and production limited to 99 cars.
The Revuelto Miura 60° Homage does not recreate the original Miura, and it really should not. Instead, it gives Lamborghini’s modern V12 flagship a colorful reminder of the car that started the supercar revolution 60 years ago.
Long live the Miura, indeed.
