A 60th Anniversary Homage That Refuses to Live in the Past
The Lamborghini Revuelto Miura 60° Homage is a limited edition supercar that celebrates the Miura’s 60th anniversary by blending the original 1966 model’s iconic mid‑engine style and paintwork with the modern Revuelto’s hybrid V12 performance, creating a heritage anniversary release aimed squarely at collectors who want nostalgia without sacrificing cutting‑edge speed. This is not a gentle tribute; it is a pointed argument about what Lamborghini thinks heritage should mean in the age of electrification. By limiting production to 99 cars, the brand turns memory into scarcity, effectively signaling that its past is a luxury commodity as much as an inspiration. The Revuelto Miura 60° Homage arrives as the Miura hits 60, and its world premiere at Lamborghini Lounge Monterey during Monterey Car Week underlines how carefully choreographed this anniversary moment is.
Design: Original 1966 Paint, Cannelloni Seats, and Calculated Nostalgia
Lamborghini’s decision to drench the Revuelto Miura 60° Homage in the Miura’s original 1966 palette is more strategic than sentimental. Buyers can choose from nine period-correct colors such as Rosso Arancio, Verde Scandal, and Blu Tahiti, plus two-tone lower body treatments in Oro Elios with gold wheels or Grigio Nimbus with matte titanium wheels that echo classic Miura contrasts. Inside, the resurrected “cannelloni” seat pattern and leather-wrapped tunnel, doors, and rear bulkhead turn the cabin into a curated museum of Miura cues, punctuated by Miura 60 embroidery and a carbon plaque reading “Serie Speciale 1 di 99.” According to one source, “buyers can choose from a curated set of liveries plus a roster of homage-specific details,” confirming that every aesthetic decision is tightly controlled rather than left to chance.
Hybrid V12 Performance: The Legend Learns a New Trick
The most radical part of the Lamborghini Revuelto Miura 60° Homage is not what it remembers, but what it adds. Underneath the retro cues sits the standard Revuelto powertrain: a naturally aspirated 6.5‑liter V12 paired with three electric motors and LDVI 2.0 vehicle control software, producing around 747 kW or roughly 1,015 horsepower to all four wheels. Lamborghini quotes 0–100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and a top speed beyond 350 km/h, or more than 217 mph in familiar terms. The original Miura’s transverse V12 wrote the supercar rulebook in 1966; now the rulebook has been edited to include hybrid torque and software‑driven dynamics. Instead of treating electrification as a clean break, Lamborghini uses this heritage anniversary release to insist that hybridization is part of the same V12 story the Miura began—an uncomfortable truth for purists, but a necessary one.
Pairing Old Miuras With New Revueltos: A Collector’s Power Move
The cleverest stroke in the Revuelto Miura 60° Homage program is aimed squarely at those who already own the myth. Through the Ad Personam customization route, Lamborghini allows Miura owners to have their new Revuelto painted to match their classic’s original factory color, even if it sits outside the nine standard heritage shades. That means a collection can hold two cars 60 years apart wearing identical paint, turning nostalgia into a carefully curated narrative rather than a random assortment. With only 99 examples of this limited edition supercar being built, and each one individually numbered, the brand is effectively minting a future collectible that trades on the Miura’s proven desirability. One source notes that a numbered Miura tribute like this “figures to become just as sought after once the initial 99 buyers take delivery,” and that prediction feels more like a warning than hype.
Conclusion: Heritage as a Strategy for the Hybrid Era
The Revuelto Miura 60° Homage is not merely a 60th anniversary homage; it is Lamborghini stress‑testing the idea that hybrid supercars can carry the same emotional weight as carbureted icons. By binding the Miura’s original aesthetics—paint codes, cannelloni seats, badges—to a plug‑in hybrid V12 capable of outrageous performance, the brand reframes electrification as continuity rather than compromise. This heritage anniversary release tells collectors that the future will not look like a clean slate; it will arrive dressed in colors and patterns they already worship, but backed by tech that moves far beyond 1966 expectations. In limiting the Lamborghini Revuelto Miura to 99 units, Sant’Agata turns this philosophy into something tangible and scarce, signaling that the next chapter of the legend will be written in kilowatts as well as cylinders.
