The Lamborghini Revuelto hype is long over, and it is understandable, considering that it broke cover some nine months ago. Nevertheless, that's only temporary, as we will keep covering it for the next few years, as it is one extremely important product for the Sant'Agata Bolognese marque.
Helping pave the road towards the company's battery-electric future, the Lamborghini Revuelto is a plug-in hybrid supercar. It succeeds the mighty Aventador, and promises enhanced everything, from the looks and technology features to the performance and safety gizmos.

And what a stunning performance it offers. According to its maker, it needs only 2.5 seconds to push to 62 mph (100 kph) and has a top speed north of the 217 mph (350 kph) mark. With a 3,907 pounds (1,772 kg) dry weight, it packs a naturally aspirated V12. Aiding the 6.5-liter unit are three electric motors, two driving the rear wheels and one the front ones. As for the total output, it is 1,001 hp (1,015 ps/747 kW).

In addition to the neck-snapping performance, Lamborghini's Revuelto is capable of driving a few miles in total quietness with its 3.8 kWh battery pack fully charged. This comes in handy when going through historical city centers or certain places where traditional ICE-powered machines are not allowed. The successor to the smaller Huracan will probably offer an improved zero-emission autonomy, though that's a topic for another time.

As for the reason behind this story, it is one particular Lamborghini Revuelto that paid a visit to Vorsteiner. Mind you, despite displaying the tuner's name on the side blades behind the front wheels, it hasn't received a body kit. In fact, from what we can tell, it doesn't boast any other upgrades besides the new wheels.

Named the FR-Aero 304, they are available in multiple sizes and for a variety of different rides, mostly on the expensive side of their respective segments. After all, these alloys are anything but affordable. We haven't managed to find out how much they cost on the Revuelto, but they start at over $13,000. They can also be had on the Huracan in normal application and with center-locking in 20 inches and on the Urus with 23 inches in diameter.

For additional personalization, the FR-Aero 304 wheels can also be had in multiple finishes. On the pictured Lambo, they have a white look, which works great with the lime yellow paint finish (or is that a wrap?) exterior, contrasted by a few black accents. Overall, we think this styling suits the Revuelto like a glove, though we wouldn't recommend it to any other ride that does not have exotic blue blood running through its veins. But what's your take on it? Is it a yay or a nay?
