The Lamborghini Revuelto’s styling has been the subject of endless online discussion, with the chief complaint being that it’s not a radical enough design departure from the Aventador. I couldn’t disagree more. Sure, it maintains the same angular, fighter jet inspired shapes from the Aventador, but the Aventador is one of the greatest looking supercars of the last century. Why change what works?
So I’m glad Lamborghini didn’t – they took the Aventador’s excellent looks and modernized them for the current era, all while modernizing the mechanical components of the car. The result is one of the few modern cars that I thought was beautiful the moment I saw it. No “it’ll grow on you” required.
I’m glad to see that the Revuelto has maintained that classic mid-engined Lamborghini wedge shape, thanks in part to the retention of a big V12. The nose is low, the rear deck is high, and the rake of the windshield is so extreme that you’d think the car doesn’t need windshield wipers (though MiniGT has still included them). The wheel fitment on this model is perfect – Hot Wheels could learn a thing or two – and all the wheels still roll smoothly. While I prefer the diamond-cut wheel design on the Revuelto, these all black wheels still look great. They even feature the Lamborghini logo on the center caps!
There’s a little Revuelto logo on the carbon fiber side skirts. So cute!
One of Lamborghini’s best updates for the Revuelto is the new headlight design, and MiniGT has done a wonderful job of replicating them. The thin LED daytime running lights wrap all the way around to the side of the car, and there’s a little plastic lens for the headlights themselves. I’m impressed by how well MiniGT has executed the mix of black plastic and carbon fiber detailing in the front bumper. You can even make out the mesh pattern of the radiator under the DRL!
The rear of the Revuelto features similarly impressive brake light detailing, as well as silver detailing on the exhaust tips, which really makes them pop! I’m surprised to see the silver exhaust tips, given that the Revuelto is also available with black exhaust tips that would have allowed MiniGT to skip that bit of detailing – though I’m glad they didn’t! The rear diffuser features carbon fiber detailing and a little Lamborghini logo below the exhaust tips, though it’s a little disappointing to see that the carbon fiber weave doesn’t maintain a consistent direction or come to a point in the center, as it does on the 1:1 Revuelto.
Luckily, the same is not true for the carbon detailing around the engine bay, which does come to a point along the centerline of the car. It’s nice to see detailing on the valve covers too, since the engine is open to the elements, rather than under a glass engine cover. I would have appreciated some detailing for the third brake light though, as it should be running along the roofline here.
While blue wouldn’t have been my first choice for the Lamborghini Revuelto (I’d prefer orange or yellow), this blue paint is absolutely gorgeous. It really pops in the light with its sparkly metal flake finish and zero orange peel.
I’ve been looking forward to this MiniGT Lamborghini Revuelto since it was first put up for preorder over half a year ago, and I’m thrilled that it lives up to my lofty expectations for it. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised though – no matter the hype, MiniGT always seems to deliver…
