The Lamborghini broke cover back in April, and it is already sold out. Deliveries haven’t even started yet. It’s only July, and the car has tuners queueing outside, waiting to come in. So here is DMC’s take on the $600,000 supercar.
Lamborghini came up with the Revuelto as a replacement for the Aventador. It got a fresh design and the company’s latest hybrid tech. But there are tuning houses that feel like interfering with the looks of it. So here is DMC’s take on the latest Lambo out there, previewed by renderings back in May.
The German tuner has simply anticipated the anticipation that surrounds the Italians’ first plug-in hybrid and actually came up with two carbon-fiber body kits, with either gloss or matte coating, depending on the customer's preferences. One of them is Molto Veloce, which is Italian for "very fast." The other one is a tribute to seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher and is called just like that, "Schumacher."
What you must know is the fact that the DMC tuning experts haven’t actually installed the aero kits on the Revuelto, since no one got their hands on the car just yet. The images we have in front of our eyes are renderings. But they give a clear look at how the model would look with the upgraded looks.
The rear is where the most significant differences would be. The Schumacher – as inappropriate the name of a former Ferrari driver would be for a Lamborghini body kit – proposes a larger motorsport-inspired rear wing with a twin-post swan-neck setup and a CNC-machined bull emblem embedded into the carbon-fiber element. The company will only produce 88 of those, labeled as "1 of 88."

Meanwhile, the Molto Veloce package brings a smaller wing, similar to what the discontinued SVJ comes with.
Both aero packages bring along a new front splitter, inspired by that of the SVJ. There are restyled front fenders with functional carbon-fiber air vents. Extra carbon fiber details show up on the doors as well. And then there is the aggressively designed rear diffuser.
The Lamborghini Revuelto will arrive in the US towards the end of the year. By the time it sets wheels on American soil, customers will already have customization options.
The Revuelto is set in motion by a hybrid powertrain that integrates the all-new naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine and three electric motors for a total of 1,001 horsepower (1,015 PS). The ICE alone comes with 813 horsepower, but DMC’s upgrade, performed in collaboration with American tuner Gintani, gives it 88 (89 PS) more. A ZESAD titanium exhaust system with tailpipes displaying a gold finish is also part of the plan, but it comes for extra money. And so do the AL13 forged wheels.
But they forgot to mention what exactly that means in terms of performance. When stock, the hybrid Lambo can do the 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) run in 2.5 seconds, takes less than seconds to hit 124 mph (200 kph), and hits a top speed of 217 mph.
A 3.8-kWh battery pack helps it drive with zero emissions for up to 6.2 miles (10 kilometers).
Those who want to take both aero kits home have to pay $88,888. Just one of them goes for $49,990. Nice discount, but do you really need both?
