Revell Lamborghini Revuelto in 1:24
When a manufacturer like Lamborghini makes a radical generational change, it’s already quite an event for car enthusiasts — and even more so for model builders, because technology and design evolve simultaneously. Our Revell kit of the Lamborghini Revuelto (Revell Shop link) in 1:24 scale brings exactly that moment to your workbench, capturing Lamborghini’s first V12 plug-in hybrid and turning it into a project that looks every bit like a show car while radiating precision engineering.
The Revuelto was introduced by Lamborghini as the first Super Sports V12 Hybrid Plug-in HPEV – deliberately marking a new beginning in the brand’s anniversary year. According to Lamborghini, the car combines a newly developed combustion engine with three electric motors, resulting in a total system output of 1015 hp. Lamborghini also claims 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and a top speed exceeding 350 km/h, making it very clear that electrification here isn’t about compromise, but rather about amplifying traditional V12 power.
Revuelto as a Turning Point in Lamborghini History
The Revuelto is much more than just another flagship model — it marks the replacement of the Aventador as Lamborghini’s V12 icon. The structure behind it is also part of the story, since Lamborghini emphasizes a new carbon concept for the Revuelto, calling carbon a central structural element used in the monofuselage, frame, and many body parts. Lamborghini even claims this results in the best power-to-weight ratio in the brand’s history — 1.75 kg per hp — highlighting lightweight construction as the silent star of the show.
For model builders, this is important because when recreating it, you’re not just replicating lines and edges, but an entire flagship vehicle that symbolizes a new layout and manufacturing logic. Even details such as the dual-clutch transmission — making its debut in a twelve-cylinder Lamborghini — are part of that narrative. This blend of tradition and innovation makes the Revuelto especially fascinating as a model, prompting you to consider which areas to emphasize during the build.
Name, Myth, and the Rebellious Bull
For decades, Lamborghini has upheld the tradition of naming its cars after figures from the world of bullfighting, and the name “Revuelto” continues that theme quite deliberately. A well-known interpretation — also mentioned in media reports around the brand — refers to a bull named Revuelto that appeared in the Barcelona arena in 1880, known for breaking free and repeatedly jumping outside the ring, earning a reputation for rebelliousness. That’s a fitting story for a car that preserves the V12 engine while embracing the hybrid system as the new normal.
We love that presenting a finished model isn’t only about technology, paint finish, and panel gaps, but also the story behind the subject. Whether on display at exhibitions or on the shelf at home, the context behind a model always intrigues visitors.
Record Performance and What Becomes Visible in the Model
Lamborghini positions the Revuelto firmly at the peak of performance, citing acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and a top speed beyond 350 km/h. Additional highlights include electric torque vectoring and all-wheel drive, both available even in full-electric mode. For us model builders, these figures are less about numbers and more about insight into the design: they explain why the car’s proportions appear so aggressive and why features like intakes and surface transitions look so purpose-driven.
In the model, you can bring out this character by ensuring clean edges and crisp panel lines. The Revuelto thrives on the contrast between sharply angled surfaces and functional-looking openings — paying attention to cleaning and paint layering will make your finished model look strikingly realistic, even without extreme super-detailing. Official Lamborghini information also emphasizes the new aerospace-inspired design language and the lines enveloping the cabin and engine bay. If you want to capture that look perfectly, avoid heavy paint coats and instead apply controlled thin layers to preserve the geometry.
The Revuelto in Racing Games
The Lambo has already made appearances in various racing games since the beginning of the year. Lamborghini announced a collaboration with Ubisoft, featuring the Lamborghini Revuelto as a featured vehicle in *The Crew Motorfest*. It’s also available in *Forza Horizon 5*, *Automobilista 2*, and *Asphalt 9: Legends*, where you can admire and, of course, drive it in full detail.
For model builders, that crossover is quite fun — imagine creating a gaming-inspired vignette for your model, perhaps with a festival vibe or a street-racing scene.
The Revell Lamborghini Revuelto Kit – What to Expect During Assembly
The Revell kit carries item number 07723 and comes in 1:24 scale with 105 individual parts, recommended for ages 10 and up.
The finished model measures 20.6 cm in length, 8.4 cm in width, and 4.8 cm in height. The skill level is an entry-friendly 3.
In the completed model, you get:
- a highly detailed V12 hybrid engine with movable components
- functional scissor doors
- opening engine hood
- precisely designed cockpit with instrument panel
- aerodynamically shaped body parts featuring the characteristic design elements
assembly instructions for systematic construction
For you, this means the kit isn’t just a solid body sculpture — it deliberately offers openable sections, especially rewarding if you want to refine the engine bay or interior even further.

If you’d like a really close look at a real Revuelto, Matt Armstrong’s videos are absolutely worth watching — he buys a crashed Revuelto for £230,000 and brings it back to life:
But what does the Revuelto actually feel like in everyday life? MilesPerHr tested that for you — complete with a breakfast burrito behind the wheel 😀
