Lamborghini’s Heritage Play Arrives at Monterey
Sixty years after the Miura redefined what a road car could be, Lamborghini brought its tribute to the place where heritage sells for seven figures before the champagne goes flat. The Revuelto Miura 60° Homage, a 99-unit special series developed by the Ad Personam program and Centro Stile, made its world premiere at Lamborghini Lounge Monterey during Monterey Car Week. It wraps the company’s hybrid V12 flagship in the colors and design language of its most celebrated ancestor, and in doing so reveals how Lamborghini intends to use bespoke craftsmanship and documented lineage, rather than mechanical novelty, to cement the Revuelto as the rightful heir to its V12 dynasty.
The venue choice tells you everything about the intended buyer. Monterey Car Week concentrates the world’s most active supercar collectors along a single coastal stretch for a few days each August. Lamborghini chose that audience, not a motor show press scrum, to debut a car whose entire proposition rests on exclusivity, emotional connection, and the kind of detail that rewards in-person inspection. Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini’s Chairman and CEO, framed the philosophy directly:
“For our collectors and customers, exclusivity means authenticity, rarity and lasting emotional value: the Revuelto Miura 60° Homage has been created precisely with this philosophy.”
The Homage is not a mechanical evolution of the Revuelto. It retains the standard car’s full HPEV powertrain. What it offers instead is a carefully curated design package, a production cap that guarantees scarcity, and one quietly remarkable perk for a very specific subset of buyers.
Why the Miura 60° Homage Reads as Brand Storytelling, Not Just a Paint Job
Lamborghini leans on heritage tributes less frequently than some of its competitors. The Countach LPI 800-4 in 2021 was the last major heritage play on the V12 flagship, and before that you could argue the company let decades pass without a formal design homage at this scale. That selectivity is the point. When Lamborghini does reach into the archive, the gesture carries weight precisely because it is uncommon.
The Miura 60° Homage fits a pattern that Monterey Car Week rewards. Limited production numbers, heritage color palettes, and bespoke interior treatments appeal to collectors who already own multiple Lamborghinis and want a car that signals insider knowledge rather than raw horsepower. The 99-unit cap puts it in the sweet spot: rare enough to feel genuinely exclusive, numerous enough that Lamborghini can deliver meaningful revenue from the Ad Personam premium without creating the allocation headaches of a single-digit run.
Crucially, Lamborghini anchors this limited edition not in a fictional design exercise but in a direct, documented lineage to the car widely regarded as the world’s first super sports car. The Miura’s credentials do the heavy lifting. Centro Stile’s job was to translate them without turning the Revuelto into a costume, and the distinction between literate homage and nostalgic replica is what separates this project from a simple anniversary paint scheme.

How Centro Stile Translated the Miura Without Costuming the Revuelto
The design challenge with any heritage homage is restraint. Go too far and the modern car looks like a replica. Go too subtle and buyers wonder what they paid for. Centro Stile’s approach leans toward curated details rather than wholesale aesthetic surgery, and the result reads as literate rather than literal, reinforcing the thesis that this car earns its heritage claim through design intelligence, not pastiche.
The most visible intervention is the two-tone exterior treatment. Lamborghini says the Homage features two dedicated liveries inspired by the contrasting lower-body color treatments found on many original Miuras. Customers choose between the Oro Elios livery, paired with Altanero Shiny Gold wheels, or the Grigio Nimbus livery combined with Altanero Matt Titanium Diamond wheels. Both configurations reference color combinations that helped define the Miura’s visual identity in period. The nine exterior colors, drawn from shades historically offered on the Miura, range from Rosso Arancio through Verde Scandal to Blu Tahiti and Bianco Monocerus. The Revuelto‘s angular, Y-shaped lighting signature and aggressive aero surfaces remain untouched, a deliberate choice that keeps the car planted in 2026 while the palette pulls it back to 1966.
Smaller details reinforce the connection without overwhelming it. A dedicated Miura 60 logo sits above the Revuelto script on the side sill near the rear wheel arch. The rear Lamborghini logo is finished in gloss black, echoing one of the original Miura’s distinctive styling details. Gloss black brake calipers and matte black exhaust tailpipes complete the exterior, darkening the hardware accents in a way that lets the heritage paint palette dominate.
Lamborghini’s official imagery makes the design dialogue explicit, pairing Revuelto Homage examples alongside original Miuras in matching colors against Italian architecture. A yellow Revuelto beside a green Miura on wet cobblestones, a blue pair framed by rustic stonework and hay bales: the visual argument is that the lineage reads clearly despite sixty years of aerodynamic and regulatory evolution separating the two cars.

The Ad Personam Gateway: Crafting a Personal Piece of Lamborghini History
Step inside and the Miura connection becomes tactile. Seats upholstered with the Classica T rim treatment reinterpret the characteristic “cannelloni” pattern found in the original Miura’s cabin, a tubular quilting style that defined the 1960s car’s interior identity. Leather upholstery extends across the center tunnel, door panels, and the rear bulkhead separating the passenger compartment from the engine bay. Between the seats, a dedicated “Miura 60” embroidery provides another hallmark of the series, while each car carries a carbon-fiber plaque on the driver’s side inscribed “Miura 60°, Serie Speciale 1 di 99.”
The most interesting detail in the entire specification, though, is buried in a single sentence of Lamborghini’s official description. Owners of historic Miuras can work with the Ad Personam program to faithfully recreate their original color combinations, even if those colors fall outside the nine standard options. This is not a generic open palette. It is a specific invitation to a specific collector demographic: people who already own one of the roughly 764 Miuras produced between 1966 and 1973 and want their Revuelto to serve as a modern companion piece.
That level of targeted personalization reveals how Lamborghini views Ad Personam’s strategic role. It functions as a loyalty mechanism for the brand’s most invested collectors, the buyers whose garages already contain the cars that justify a heritage edition’s existence. The approach transforms the Homage from a design exercise into something closer to a curated ownership experience, one where your existing classic dictates your new car’s specification. No aftermarket configurator can replicate a factory-blessed companion piece with a documented provenance link, and that is precisely the kind of exclusivity Winkelmann’s philosophy demands.
V12 Legacy Meets Electrified Future: The Revuelto Carries the Torch
Beneath the heritage livery, the Revuelto’s mechanical specification remains unchanged. Lamborghini says the car combines its naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 with a plug-in hybrid system producing a combined 1,015 CV and 807 Nm of torque, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and reaching a top speed exceeding 350 km/h.
Those numbers serve a specific narrative purpose here. The Miura, in its most powerful SV form, produced 385 CV and exceeded 290 km/h. The Revuelto nearly triples the power output while adding electric drive capability, and the implicit argument is that Lamborghini’s V12 lineage did not merely survive the transition to electrification but accelerated through it. The hybrid system, by most accounts, does not dilute the V12 character so much as supplement it with sharper front-axle response, while multiple Revuelto owners on enthusiast forums describe the dual-clutch transmission as a significant improvement over the Aventador’s single-clutch unit.
For the Miura 60° Homage specifically, the powertrain is supporting evidence rather than the story. Buyers choosing this car already know what the Revuelto delivers. What they want is the heritage packaging, the production number on the plaque, and the knowledge that their car connects to a specific moment in automotive history. The V12’s presence validates the tribute. It does not need to justify it. And that confidence, the willingness to let the engine speak for itself while the design does the talking, is what makes the Homage feel earned rather than manufactured.

Collector’s Corner: What the 99-Unit Cap Means for Buyers
Lamborghini has not announced pricing for the Revuelto Miura 60° Homage. The company also has not confirmed whether all 99 allocations are spoken for, though given the typical velocity of limited Lamborghini editions and the Monterey Car Week debut context, the safe assumption is that demand exceeds supply. Delivery timing remains unconfirmed.
What the confirmed details do tell prospective collectors is worth unpacking. The 99-unit production cap sits in familiar territory for Lamborghini special editions: large enough to sustain a global allocation across key markets, small enough that secondary-market premiums are virtually guaranteed if the car is kept in low-mileage, well-documented condition. The Countach LPI 800-4, limited to 112 units, established a recent precedent for heritage-themed Lamborghini V12 editions commanding significant collector interest.
The practical buyer takeaway is straightforward. If you are offered an allocation, the decision is less about whether the car will hold value and more about whether the specific heritage angle resonates with your collection. A Miura owner who can commission a matching Revuelto through Ad Personam’s extended color program is buying something no aftermarket configurator can replicate: a factory-blessed companion piece with documented provenance. For collectors without a Miura in the garage, the nine standard heritage colors and two livery options still deliver a car that wears its exclusivity visibly.
One question Lamborghini’s announcement leaves unanswered is whether the Miura 60° Homage signals a broader cadence of heritage editions on the Revuelto platform. The Aventador spawned numerous special series over its production life, from the Centenario to the Sián to the Invencible. The Revuelto is early in its lifecycle, and the Miura tribute suggests Centro Stile and Ad Personam view the platform as equally fertile ground. For buyers weighing this allocation against future possibilities, the Miura’s singular status in Lamborghini’s history makes this particular homage difficult to replicate with a different theme. The first super sports car only turns sixty once.
