Some cars arrive feeling untouchable. Lamborghini’s Revuelto is one of them—a first-of-its-kind V12 plug-in hybrid HPEV, already packing 1,015 CV, three electric motors, and the kind of visual theatre that makes a garage feel like a stage.
And yet NOVITEC sees room to intensify the experience. Not with a full rewrite, but with a disciplined escalation: more downforce, more stance, more control over the soundtrack, and more presence for the naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 that still sits at the heart of Lamborghini’s new flagship.
THE HPEV BASELINE
The Revuelto marks a turning point for Sant’Agata. Lamborghini’s replacement for the Aventador keeps the brand’s V12 bloodline alive, but pairs it with a three-motor hybrid system and an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. From the factory, it already lives in rare air—0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, a top speed above 350 km/h, and an unmistakable sense that electrification hasn’t diluted the drama; it has sharpened it.
That gives NOVITEC a difficult brief. The German refinement specialist isn’t trying to “fix” the Revuelto. The goal is to lean harder into what the car already does so well: aggression, theater, and speed delivered with enough technical substance to back up the look.
CARBON, COLOR, AND AERODYNAMIC INTENT
For its first Revuelto show car, NOVITEC chose a purple finish that nods to the hue Lamborghini used when it presented the Diablo SE 30 in 1993. It’s the kind of reference that works on two levels: visual nostalgia for the faithful, and a reminder that Lamborghini’s past and future both speak fluent drama.
The aerodynamic package follows the same logic. Developed in the wind tunnel, NOVITEC’s exposed-carbon components include front spoiler aero panels, a central front blade, a revised hood treatment, headlight trim, rocker panels, scissor-door aero trim, mirror covers, and a more sculpted retractable rear wing. The effect is more than cosmetic. Up front, the package is designed to add front-axle downforce at high speed. Out back, the pronounced rear lip spoiler brings additional rear-axle stability to match the Revuelto’s ballistic pace.
WHEELS AND STANCE
The stance story continues at each corner. Working with Vossen, NOVITEC developed three wheel designs for the Revuelto, with 72 color options and multiple finishes available. The car shown wears NL5 forged wheels in a staggered 21-inch front and 22-inch rear setup, a sizing choice that visually exaggerates the Lamborghini’s wedge profile exactly the way it should.
There is function behind the posture, too. Matching tires measure 265/30 ZR21 at the front and 355/25 ZR22 at the rear, while NOVITEC sports springs lower the ride height by approximately 25 millimeters. The result should feel familiar to anyone who appreciates a properly resolved supercar stance: lower center of gravity, stronger presence, and a car that looks even closer to the road than the stock Revuelto already does.
SOUNDTRACK, HEAT, AND HORSEPOWER
Then comes the part most owners will obsess over: the V12. NOVITEC’s exhaust program is available in stainless steel or especially light INCONEL, the latter borrowing material know-how from Formula 1. Both systems are thermally insulated to reduce engine-bay temperatures, and the INCONEL version can be specified with 999 fine gold plating to further improve heat dissipation.
An active sound management system with butterfly valves lets the driver choose the car’s voice, from relatively restrained to fully theatrical. Add NOVITEC’s sports catalysts, and the combustion-engine side of the Revuelto’s powertrain gains 33 horsepower. Importantly, the three electric motors remain untouched. Peak output climbs to 771 kW / 1,048 hp—an increase that feels entirely in character for a flagship Lamborghini that already treats excess as baseline equipment.
The visual details back it up. A tailor-made surround frames the four round tailpipes, with the two central pipes measuring 110 millimeters in diameter—10 millimeters larger than the outer pair. It’s a subtle engineering flex, but also a clear statement of intent: if the Revuelto was born to make an entrance, NOVITEC makes sure the exit matters too.
THE TAKEAWAY
The best aftermarket programs do not argue with the car underneath them. They understand the original brief, then push it further without breaking the spell. That is what NOVITEC appears to have done here.
The Revuelto was always going to be a difficult car to improve because its identity is already so complete: V12 emotion, hybrid urgency, and unmistakable Lamborghini theatre. NOVITEC’s answer is not to fight that identity, but to heighten the contrast—more carbon, more stance, more voice, and a little more power for the flagship bull that was never supposed to blend in anyway.
