The French driver had already revealed his Lamborghini Revuelto<\/a> prepared by Mansory end 2025<\/a>, and then drove the first few kilometers behind the wheel a few months later<\/a>. This time, Esteban Ocon goes much further. In a video posted on his YouTube channel in early July 2026, the Haas F1 Team driver himself presents, in detail, the supercar he considers \u00abhis dream car,\u00bb going over all the choices that led to the creation of this one-of-a-kind 1,070 ch model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Childhood Dream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For nearly 25 minutes, Esteban Ocon opens the doors to his garage and talks about the design of this \u00abone-of-a-kind\u00bb Lamborghini Revuelto. He explains that this was more than just a customization project\u2014he was involved in every stage of the project with Mansory, from the initial sketches to the final aesthetic details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Frenchman even reveals that the car came in two versions. The first was more understated, before evolving into a much more radical design\u2014the one we see today. He openly admits his inspiration: the video games of his childhood. Need for Speed Underground, Gran Turismo 4, and the car-tuning scene of the 2000s have greatly influenced his choices. The red-and-black color gradient, which covers the entire body, is directly inspired by this world. It\u2019s a combination he considers his favorite colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Revuelto completely overhauled from top to bottom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The base model is still a Lamborghini Revuelto, but nearly every exterior component has been replaced. A custom hood, a forged carbon splitter, new perforated fenders, air intakes inspired by GT3 race cars, a massive fixed rear wing, a redesigned diffuser, new one-piece wheels\u2026 it\u2019s hard to recognize the supercar from Sant\u2019Agata Bolognese beneath this avalanche of carbon fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driver explains that he visited Mansory\u2019s workshops in Germany and was impressed by the craftsmanship that went into every part, right down to the windshield wiper arm, which was repainted and hand-varnished. At the rear, Mansory even closed off the section that normally reveals the V12 engine to create an even more aggressive silhouette. According to Esteban Ocon, this was a purely stylistic choice, enhanced by a massive fixed wing that replaces the original active wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1,070 chevaux\u2026 and a driving experience similar to that of an F1 car?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Under the hood, the modifications go beyond just style. Power climbs to 1,070 ch thanks to modifications made to the hybrid V12, along with a complete exhaust system. During his test drive on the roads around Geneva, Esteban Ocon made no secret of his enthusiasm. He described a car that is surprisingly comfortable despite its extreme appearance, capable of gliding silently in hybrid mode before unleashing a true \u00absymphony\u00bb when the exhaust valves open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driver even goes so far as to compare the acceleration to that of a Formula 1 car. While not claiming to match a single-seater in corners or under braking, he believes that standing starts are now \u00abmuch closer to a Formula 1 car\u00bb than they were just a few years ago, thanks to all-wheel drive and over 1,000 chevaux available instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Ideal Car<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the performance, what really stands out in this video is Esteban Ocon\u2019s personal attachment to this Lamborghini. He explains that his dream wasn\u2019t simply to own a supercar, but to create his ideal car\u2014just as he used to virtually customize his cars in video games when he was a child. The result will undoubtedly not be to everyone\u2019s taste, and Esteban Ocon is well aware of that. But for him, this Mansory Revuelto is much more than a display of power: it\u2019s the fulfillment of a automotive dream built with his partner Mansory, whose logo has appeared on his helmet since the beginning of their collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
