Novitec keeps the Revuelto classy — not flashy
Novitec has once again taken Lamborghini's flagship plug-in hybrid and applied a restrained, high-quality touch. The tuner’s latest Revuelto build trades in-day-glo excess for a refined retro-meets-modern aesthetic: glossy black paint, gold-accented wheels and exhaust tips, and carefully placed carbon-fiber bits that enhance presence without shouting for attention.
If you saw the car on social media and thought, 'Something's different but I can't tell what,' that's exactly the point. Novitec's approach is understated and effective — a subtle reshaping of the Revuelto's lines rather than a radical transformation.

Key exterior upgrades
- Vented Novitec front hood: more aggressive sculpting and extra vents that change the car’s facial expression.
- Front bumper blades: small aerodynamic addenda that accent the Revuelto’s stance while leaving the OEM bumper intact.
- New side skirts: slightly more pronounced profiles to visually lower the car and improve side flow.
- Novitec-designed rear diffuser and wing: refined carbon-fiber elements that tidy up the rear and hint at added aerodynamic intention.
- Gold-finished tailpipes as part of a new exhaust system and matching gold-painted NL5 wheels developed in collaboration with Vossen.

These changes are deliberately minimalistic. Many parts retain the OEM look or proportions, but the choice of finishes — metallic gold accents against a deep glossy black — gives the package a classic motorsport vibe reminiscent of historic John Player Special liveries without copying them outright.
Wheels, brakes and stance
Novitec’s NL5 alloys, co-developed with Vossen, stick to a simple Y-spoke design that can be mistaken for stock at first glance. They appear slightly larger than the factory rims, filling the arches more aggressively while keeping a clean profile. The tuner has also dropped the Revuelto on lowering springs to tighten the wheel gap and sharpen the silhouette.
The result is a car that looks lower, denser and more purposeful — the kind of visual upgrade that enhances road presence without alienating purists.

Materials and finish: carbon fiber with a raw edge
Novitec has used naked carbon-fiber panels for the aero pieces, deliberately showing the weave rather than covering it with paint. This choice signals a performance intent and aligns with trends among boutique tuners who favor functional aesthetics. Lamborghini badges remain in place on the fenders and on the aftermarket wheels, keeping brand identity front and center.
Interior and verification
Novitec has not released images of the cabin for this build. In most of their projects they either leave interiors largely unchanged or offer bespoke trim options on request. Without confirmation, it’s safest to assume the Revuelto’s factory cabin remains largely stock, though bespoke upholstery or carbon trim are plausible add-ons for an owner who orders the full Novitec treatment.
Powertrain and performance notes
Under the skin, the Revuelto in Novitec’s photos appears mechanically stock, except for the aftermarket exhaust. Lamborghini’s standard Revuelto combines a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 with three electric motors in a plug-in hybrid layout to deliver a combined 1,001 hp (747 kW / 1,015 PS). Factory performance figures are blistering:
- 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h): 2.5 seconds
- Top speed: over 217 mph (350 km/h)
Novitec’s new exhaust likely adds a few horsepower and changes the soundtrack, but the dramatic performance gains are limited when the core hybrid system and V12 remain untouched. Expect similar acceleration and top speed, with a richer, more aggressive exhaust note to match the visual upgrades.

How this fits into the market
Aftermarket tuning for halo supercars has matured. Owners increasingly prefer tasteful, high-quality upgrades that preserve resale value while personalizing the car. Novitec occupies a niche between mild aesthetic tweaks and full-blown performance overhauls: the work is visible and improves presence, but it rarely crosses into the excessive.
Pricing context matters. The Revuelto starts at just over $600,000 (2026 model year), and well-optioned examples commonly trade between $700,000 and $800,000. Given that range, Novitec packages typically add a modest premium compared with limited-production special editions, making them an attractive option for buyers who want exclusivity without heading into seven-figure territory.
SV variant on the horizon
Lamborghini itself is not standing still: the Super Veloce (SV) version of the Revuelto is expected to debut soon. Early rumors suggest a lighter car with more advanced aero and increased combined output — reportedly as high as 1,183 bhp (883 kW / 1,200 PS). That could shave a few tenths off the 0–62 mph time and push pricing closer to or into seven figures for top-spec SVs.
In that context, Novitec’s tasteful upgrade offers a different route: keep the standard Revuelto’s balance of hybrid tech and NA V12 feel, but add bespoke styling and sound without chasing absolute peak performance.
Why this Novitec Revuelto works
There are three main reasons this build resonates with enthusiasts:
- Restraint: The changes are cohesive and respect Lamborghini’s original design language.
- Detail: Gold accents, exposed carbon, and the NL5 wheels provide personality without clutter.
- Authenticity: The V12 and hybrid drivetrain remain central, preserving the Revuelto’s character.
Whether you prefer a wild tuning job or a factory-fresh halo car, Novitec’s Revuelto is a compelling middle ground: an exclusive, subtle statement that improves looks and sound while staying true to the modern Lamborghini ethos.
Final thoughts
Novitec’s latest Revuelto is a textbook example of tasteful tuning for a modern supercar. It proves you can evoke classic racing themes and inject personality without undermining the engineering or resale appeal of a $600k-plus hypercar. For buyers who want a bespoke look with a proper soundtrack, this build will likely check many boxes.
Do you prefer the restrained Novitec approach or a more radical visual and performance overhaul? Either way, the Revuelto remains one of the most intriguing modern Lamborghinis, and tuners like Novitec are helping keep the conversation alive long after factory showrooms close the order books.

Is this even worth the extra cash? Looks clean, sure, but mostly visual tweaks and an exhaust. Performance gains tiny if core hybrid and V12 untouched. Sound will sell it tho maybe.

Wow Novitec went subtle and actually nailed it. Glossy black + gold = class, not loud. I'd love a peek inside tho, do they keep the stock cabin or add bespoke bits? Feels like proper restraint, but curious.
