A few months after the Lamborghini Revuelto<\/a> by Mat Armstrong, declared virtually impossible to restart without going through Lamborghini<\/a> Italy and a new hybrid battery at 35,000 $, another Revuelto is the talk of the town. This time, it's heading for Abuja, Nigeria, where a local mechanic claims to have achieved what many thought impossible: erasing the notorious post-crash electronic lock without replacing the high-voltage battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And unlike the much-publicized case of the British YouTubeur, this Revuelto was not repaired in an official European workshop, but in a local garage, with sometimes improvised means... and a lot of determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamborghini Revuelto damaged a few days after delivery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The story begins shortly after the car was delivered to its Nigerian owner. During a test drive, the driver lost control of the Revuelto after accelerating hard. The result: a severe impact to the left front axle. The vehicle was quickly taken to an Abuja workshop specializing in top-of-the-range cars. The mechanic explained that this was only the third known damaged Lamborghini Revuelto in the world, after the one in Romania and the one rebuilt by Mat Armstrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, the damage already appears impressive. The suspension wishbone is damaged, a steering tie-rod is broken, the carbon-ceramic brakes are cracked, several carbon parts are damaged, not to mention expensive parts such as the door frame, which cost over 12,000 $. But the real problem lies elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
