This Lamborghini Revuelto V12 prepared by Novitec is purple... in homage to the famous Jamiroquai song

At first glance, this Lamborghini Revuelto prepared by Novitec immediately catches the eye with its deep purple hue. But behind this bold choice lies a clear nod to automotive history... and musical history.

This configuration pays homage to the legendary Lamborghini Diablo SE30, which itself became iconic thanks to its appearance in Jamiroquai's Cosmic Girl video in 1996. A reference that will immediately speak to enthusiasts: the purple Diablo in this clip is one of the most striking images of 90s car culture.

With this Revuelto, Novitec does more than simply offer an aesthetic preparation. It creates a genuine bridge between two eras: that of raw, imperfect but emotional supercars, and that of ultra-technological hybrid hypercars.

An even more radical Revuelto... without betraying its DNA

While the purple catches the eye, the rest of the transformation is more subtle, almost respectful of the original line. Unlike some extreme preparations, Novitec has chosen a measured approach here, close to the manufacturer's design.

The bodywork features numerous wind-tunnel-developed elements in exposed carbon, accentuating the lines without distorting them. At the front, a redesigned splitter improves downforce, while the hood and aerodynamic appendages reinforce the aggressive character of the whole.

On the sides, the side skirts and air intakes have been reworked to optimize air flow to the central V12. At the rear, the diffuser becomes more imposing, accompanied by a reworked active spoiler and an additional air intake on the hood to improve cooling.

But one of the most striking details is the adoption of four round tailpipes, a strong visual signature of this version. A further nod to the Lamborghini older generation.

An even more explosive V12 hybrid

Under the hood, the Revuelto's base remains the same: a 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12 combined with three electric motors. But Novitec has intervened on a key element: the exhaust system. Thanks to a high-performance exhaust system, available in stainless steel or Inconel (with optional gold plating to dissipate heat), the V12 breathes more easily. The result: a gain of around 33 horsepower.

Total power thus reaches almost 1048 bhp, compared with 1015 bhp for the standard version. An already impressive figure... but one that takes on even more meaning when we remember that this level of performance was reserved for hypercars just a few years ago.

Beyond the numbers, it's above all the sound character that has evolved. With a valve-operated system, the driver can switch from a discreet mode to a much more raucous sound, reminiscent of the Lamborghinis of yesteryear.

Between nostalgia and the future of supercars

This Revuelto Novitec perfectly illustrates today's supercar dilemma. On the one hand, ever more advanced technology: hybridization, all-wheel drive, sophisticated electronic aids. On the other, a quest for pure emotion. This is precisely where Novitec comes in. The aim is not to radically transform the car, but to make it more personal, more expressive. It's a way of adding character to an already exceptional machine.

And this iconic purple alone sums up this philosophy: a touch of nostalgia, directly inspired by a time when supercars were less perfect... but perhaps more striking.
