He takes his highly modified Lamborghini Revuelto all the way from Canada to the Lamborghini factory in Italy, to see how they react.

The idea seems almost provocative: to take a Lamborghini Revuelto The aim was to take a heavily modified Lamborghini (wide body kit, new rims, modified exhaust system, covering, etc.) to the Lamborghini factory in Italy, where it was designed in the first place. No truck transport, just a real road trip across Europe, in the middle of winter, to test his vision against that of the manufacturer. The Revuelto has nothing left of its original configuration, and the team is openly asking itself how it can be made to work. Lamborghini will react when one of its latest supercars is so radically transformed.

From the Swiss Alps to Italy

The journey begins in Switzerland, on snow-covered mountain roads, through spectacular Alpine scenery and mythical tunnels such as the Gotthard. Despite the wintry conditions, the Revuelto swallows up the kilometers without faltering, shod with snow tires, proving that modern Lamborghinis are designed to drive everywhere, and not just to shine in front of a café.

At the Italian border, the scene becomes almost unreal. The customs officers immediately recognize the car, strike up a conversation, then ask for... a big acceleration. A few seconds later, the Revuelto roars into life, to the smiles of the police. The tone was set: Italy welcomed the Lamborghini as a home-grown child. Shortly afterwards, the team was even given an impromptu police escort to the factory.

Back to the Lamborghini factory

There's something deeply symbolic about arriving in front of the Lamborghini factory. This Revuelto was one of the very first to be delivered to Canada, and to see it return to Sant'Agata Bolognese is almost an exception. As the brand's representatives confirm: it's extremely rare for a car sold on another continent to ever return to its place of birth.

The long-awaited meeting takes place. Lamborghini employees discover the car, carefully observe the modifications, exchange glances and ask questions. Far from a closed or critical reaction, the discourse is measured. The Revuelto is described as daring, true to the DNA of a brand that claims to be "brave" and unexpected.

The owner then tackles a sensitive subject: manufacturers' reactions to modified cars. He mentions Ferrari's reputation, often perceived as intolerant of out-of-frame customizations. Lamborghini's response is diplomatic. Without ever criticizing its rival, the brand points out that it understands customers' desire to make their car their own, while emphasizing that this personalization is ideally thought out and supervised via the official Ad Personam program. An elegant way of defending the brand's identity without condemning the initiative.

In the course of the conversation, another intriguing detail emerged. The owner explained that he had reached 354 km/h, while still in seventh gear, whereas Lamborghini officially advertises a top speed of 350 km/h. Faced with this remark, the representatives dodged the answer... with a smile. Which begs the question: is Lamborghini deliberately underestimating the official figures for its Revuelto?
