Decoding the Lamborghini Revuelto Miura 60° Homage — and why even hybrid supercars need an origin story.
Sixty years ago, Lamborghini put a V12 engine sideways behind the driver’s seat, wrapped it in one of the most seductive shapes the automotive world has ever produced, and accidentally invented the modern supercar. The Lambo Miura wasn’t just a car — it was the moment “supercar” stopped being a description and started being a category. Six decades later, Lamborghini is marking the anniversary the only way it really knows how: by making its newest, most technologically advanced model look a little more like its oldest one.
The decoding: what the Homage actually is
The Revuelto Miura 60° Homage is not a new model in the engineering sense — it’s Lamborghini’s current 1,001-horsepower V12 plug-in hybrid flagship, the Revuelto, dressed in a heritage costume designed with genuine reverence. Created through Lamborghini’s Ad Personam personalization program in collaboration with Centro Stile, the Homage is limited to 99 examples worldwide and debuted at Monterey Car Week, displayed alongside a gathering of actual vintage Miuras.
The details are where the tribute earns its keep. Nine exterior colors lifted directly from the original Miura’s palette — Rosso Arancio, Verde Metallic, Blu Tahiti and more — pair with two lower-body livery treatments finished in either gold-toned Oro Elios or silver-toned Grigio Nimbus, echoing the two-tone look that made the original so instantly recognizable on sight. Inside, the seats reinterpret the Miura’s distinctive “cannelloni” quilting pattern, with matching leather across the center tunnel and rear bulkhead, plus embroidery marking the milestone. Each car carries a numbered carbon-fiber plaque, and — in a nice touch for anyone who already owns an original — Ad Personam will even recreate a client’s actual vintage Miura color combination on their new Revuelto, if it falls outside the nine standard heritage shades.
Why 99 cars, and why now

THE CURATED CALENDAR
Discover the world’s most prestigious gatherings & exhibitionsLimited-edition heritage tributes are nothing new in the supercar world, but the number and the timing both do quiet work here. Ninety-nine is a deliberately exclusive-feeling figure — small enough to guarantee scarcity, distinct enough from round numbers like 50 or 100 to feel like a considered choice rather than a marketing default. And the timing lines up precisely with the Miura’s 60th birthday and Lamborghini’s return to Monterey for the Concours’ 75th anniversary — a genuine calendar collision that lets the brand tell one origin story from two different anniversaries at once.
The industry-wide read
This is a case study in a strategy nearly every heritage-rich luxury brand is now leaning on harder than ever: using a hybrid or electrified flagship as the canvas for pure nostalgia. It’s a clever piece of psychological engineering — buyers anxious about whether electrification erodes a marque’s soul get reassured, quite literally, in the paint and stitching, that the emotional lineage is intact even as the powertrain evolves. Expect this playbook to repeat across the industry as more heritage marques electrify their halo models: pair the most technologically forward car in the lineup with the most emotionally resonant design cues from the archive, and let nostalgia do the work of making innovation feel safe.
