The Revuelto could never be described as subtle, and yet Lamborghini has already found a way to make it more flamboyant. Its first plug-in hybrid hypercar has been turned into a canvas for Art Basel Miami Beach 2023, which runs from December 8 to 10.
The multicolor car will be shown live for the first time at the legendary art event, and is being called the Revuelto “Opera Unica,” which translates from Italian to “unique work.” Painted by hand, the special finish was conceived of by Lamborghini’s Centro Stile.
“We wanted to create something purely artistic using brushes and a combination of colors, as if the Revuelto was a canvas. That is what fueled our inspiration for this special livery,” said Mitja Borkert, Automobili Lamborghini’s Design Director. “With the dynamic hand-painted exterior, we really emphasize the aerodynamics and speed of the car.”

Lamborghini says that it took 76 hours of development and testing and a total of 435 hours to complete the unique paint job of the Revuelto Opera Unica. The base color of the car fades from Viola Pasifea at the front, where a subtle 60th anniversary logo can be seen, to Nero Helene at the back. Slashes of warm and cool colors give the exterior a sense of motion.
Meanwhile, its interior reflects the exterior, thanks to Viola Acutus and Nero Ade leather. In addition, the seat backs, door cards, and headliner get embroidery in the same warm and cool colors as the hand-painted lines on the outside.
As with other examples of the supercar, the Revuelto Opera Unica is powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Based around a 6.5-liter V12 that is helped along by three electric motors, the car makes a total of 1,001 hp (746 kW/1,015 PS). That allows it to hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 2.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h).
“As the company’s top market globally, it’s quite fitting that we bring this Revuelto ‘Opera Unica’ to the U.S. and present it during Art Basel Miami Beach,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini’s CEO. “The iconic V12 plays an integral part in Lamborghini’s history and with this ‘Opera Unica’ we have truly explored the possibilities of our Ad Personam personalization, thus creating an automotive masterpiece.”
