Overview of the Lamborghini Revuelto
This is about as fresh as a Lamborghini Revuelto can be found at Japanese auction, a March 2025 registered car with just 941 km on the odometer, which converts to approximately 585 miles. The Revuelto is Lamborghini's V12 plug in hybrid flagship, the car that replaced the Aventador and moved the marque's naturally aspirated V12 line into the hybrid era while keeping the theatre, the noise and the drama that the brand is built on. This particular example is finished in a special order gold flake metallic paint, a factory optional colour, with a striking two tone Bianco (white) and navy interior lifted further with gold piping and gold embroidery on the seats and gold stitching throughout the cabin. It rides on the largest wheel option offered on the car, 21 inch front and 22 inch rear, and it is entered onto USS Tokyo through what the sheet describes as the prestige car corner, reflecting the calibre of vehicle typically listed at this level of the auction.
The car carries an auction grade of 6, effectively the top mechanical and cosmetic condition a car can achieve at Japanese auction, alongside an interior grade of A, the best interior condition classification used by Japanese auction houses. The damage diagram carries no marks at all. It is described as one owner, purchased directly from the user rather than through a dealer trade in, and the paperwork trail includes the new car service book, the owner's manual, a spare key, the charging cable, key case and key holder, everything supplied with the car when new according to the seller. The car was also run through a diagnostic tester check at Lamborghini Azabu, Lamborghini's dealership in Tokyo, before being entered into the sale, and the seller notes many factory options were specified on this build. For a UK buyer looking to secure a genuinely as new Revuelto without the wait list attached to a fresh order, this is about as clean a starting point as the Japanese market currently offers.
The Drive Review
The Revuelto is powered by a 6.5 litre naturally aspirated V12, an engine architecture Lamborghini has used and refined since the Countach era, now paired with three electric motors and a lithium ion battery pack to create the brand's first series production plug in hybrid supercar. Combined output is deep into four figure horsepower territory and the V12 alone revs to a genuinely motorsport style crescendo, something increasingly rare as the wider industry turns to turbocharging and downsizing. Two of the electric motors drive the front axle independently, giving the Revuelto true torque vectoring all wheel drive and instant electric response at low speed, while a third motor sits between the engine and the new eight speed dual clutch transmission, the first dual clutch gearbox fitted to a flagship Lamborghini, replacing the single clutch automated manual used in the Aventador.
On the road the result is a car that can pull away in near silence on electric power alone at low speed, then explode into the familiar high revving V12 wail once the engine engages, with the electric motors filling in torque delivery so there is none of the old Aventador's clutch bite hesitation from a standstill. The dual clutch transmission shifts far more smoothly than the outgoing single clutch unit, closing the gap in usability against rivals from Ferrari and McLaren while keeping the analogue character that a V12 supplies through the rev range. The carbon monocoque chassis, developed further from the Aventador and Sian, gives genuinely serious structural rigidity, and the standard active suspension and four wheel steering sharpen a car that is physically larger and heavier than an Aventador yet feels quicker and more composed thanks to the added electric torque and drive to all four corners. Weaknesses to be aware of with any early Revuelto are the newness of the plug in hybrid system itself, meaning there is limited long term ownership history to draw on yet, and the sheer complexity of the powertrain compared with a traditional naturally aspirated Lamborghini V12 car. Buyers who want the emotional, mechanical connection of a V12 Lamborghini but also want genuine daily useability, electric only creeping and lower speed manners, will find the Revuelto the most rounded car Lamborghini has yet built around that engine.
Auction Details
This Lamborghini Revuelto is being sold through USS Tokyo, one of Japan's largest and most respected auction houses, listed within the prestige car corner section of the sale reserved for the most desirable and highest value entries. The lot number is 65023 and the auction date in Japan is 1 October 2026. The auction start price is set at ¥60,000,000. Autoselecta has not set a guide bidding range for this particular car, and for context a similar Revuelto sold recently at Japanese auction for the equivalent of £308,897, though that result reflects a single comparable sale of a different specification and condition car rather than a promise of what this example will achieve. Full live pricing, including the current bidding position and landed cost estimate for the UK, is worked out dynamically on this page and should be checked there rather than assumed from any figure quoted in this report. All bids must be submitted before 9PM UK time the evening before auction.
Vehicle Specifications
Manufacturer Lamborghini, model Revuelto, grade base grade, chassis code 7LA-ZHREV, frame number recorded on the auction sheet as ZHWEC1ZH1R1A01799 though this could not be confirmed with full confidence, first registration March 2025 (Reiwa 7), engine capacity 6500cc naturally aspirated V12 with plug in hybrid assistance, transmission automatic, described on the sheet with a prefix read as FAT, drive layout 4WD, steering position left hand drive, exterior colour recorded on the sheet as gold flake metallic under colour code 0264 although the final digit of that code could not be confirmed, interior colour white and navy (Bianco with navy detailing), odometer reading 941 km as shown on the auction sheet, equivalent to approximately 585 miles, seating capacity two, dimensions per the Japanese registration certificate length 494 cm, width 208 cm and height 116 cm, though the width figure carries some uncertainty on the sheet, shaken vehicle inspection valid to March 2028, import type recorded as dealer import.
Factory Features and Equipment
The auction sheet marks this car as fitted with genuine alloy wheels, power steering, power windows, leather upholstery, factory navigation and airbags. Sales points recorded separately on the sheet add ETC toll unit, rear and front cameras, and automatic air conditioning. The car is specified with the largest available wheel package, 21 inch front and 22 inch rear, and the dashboard is trimmed in the same two tone white and navy scheme as the seats. The seller states many factory options were fitted to this build, and confirms the body colour is an optional special order paint rather than a standard production colour, though the individual option codes are not itemised on the sheet beyond what is described above.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
The auction sheet identifies the car under lot number 65023, model name Lamborghini Revuelto, first registered in Reiwa 7 (2025), March, with an engine capacity of 6500cc and chassis code 7LA-ZHREV. Body style is listed as a two door coupe in base grade specification, with 4WD circled to confirm drive layout. The auction grade is recorded as 6, with a separate interior grade of A. Shaken inspection runs to March 2028. The odometer is shown as 941 km, though the sheet notes the final digit could not be confirmed with full certainty. Transmission is noted with a prefix read as FAT, indicating a full automatic. Air conditioning is listed as AAC, automatic climate control. The original colour is described as gold flake metallic, again with the final digit of the colour code not fully legible, and no colour change is noted, meaning the car retains its factory applied colour. Fuel is circled as petrol with EV also written in brackets, consistent with the plug in hybrid nature of the Revuelto's powertrain. Interior colour is confirmed as white and navy. A new car service book is marked as present. Import type is circled as dealer, meaning the car came through official Lamborghini import channels rather than a grey import. Steering is confirmed left hand drive. Seating capacity is listed as two. The registration plate is recorded as Setagaya 328, though the kana character and final digits could not be fully confirmed.
Equipment codes on the sheet mark genuine alloy wheels, power steering, power windows, leather trim, navigation and airbags. The sales points section lists one owner history, an ETC unit, that the car was purchased directly from the user rather than via a dealer part exchange, front and rear cameras, the special order gold flake metallic paint, the Bianco interior with gold piping and embroidery, gold stitching throughout, the 21 inch front and 22 inch rear wheel specification, and the two tone white and navy dashboard. The sheet also references CPAS images being available, though the exact meaning of this notation could not be confirmed, and mentions the car being inspected at Lamborghini's Azabu dealership in Tokyo, with a note that it was entered into the auction after a diagnostic tester check was carried out there, though parts of this note were only partly legible.
Points to note confirm the owner's manual, a spare key, the charging cable, key case and key holder all accompany the car, with a further note that all accessories supplied with the car when new are believed to be complete, though the exact wording could not be fully confirmed. A further note references Lamborghini Azabu in connection with the car's history, again not fully legible. A list referencing the area under the headlights, the centre of the front spoiler and the rear diffuser appears on the sheet, though the context of this list is not entirely clear and it is not confirmed whether this refers to areas of note or simply areas inspected. The sheet confirms the body colour is an optional paint choice and notes many factory options fitted. Separately it is noted, with some uncertainty, that a body cover is included with the car.
The inspector's own handwritten comment on the sheet is a request that the car be kept under a roof, indicating covered storage is preferred for this vehicle, though this reads as a general handling instruction for a valuable, freshly delivered car rather than an indication of any specific fault.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The damage diagram on this auction sheet carries no markings whatsoever. There are no scratch codes, no dent codes, no repaint markings, no rust or corrosion notations and no replaced panel indicators anywhere on the body. Combined with the auction grade of 6, the highest condition rating used in the Japanese auction system, and interior grade A, this points to a car in essentially as new condition, consistent with its registration date of March 2025 and its 941 km odometer reading. The photographs support this, showing clean, glossy paintwork across the front and rear three quarter views with no visible stone chips, panel misalignment or paint blemishes evident in the images supplied. No damage of any kind is confirmed on either the auction sheet or the photographs provided.
Interior Condition
The cabin is trimmed in the white (Bianco) and navy scheme described on the auction sheet, with gold piping, gold embroidery and gold stitching visible in the photographs across the seats and centre console. The dashboard follows the same two tone white and navy treatment. The digital instrument binnacle and Lamborghini branded infotainment screen are both visible and appear factory fresh, with the odometer display in one photograph confirming a reading in the low hundreds of kilometres, consistent with the sheet's stated 941 km. The steering wheel is shown still wrapped in factory protective plastic in the photographs, and a factory floor mat protector is visible in the footwell, both strong visual indicators of the very low use this car has seen since new. Interior grade A, the top classification used by Japanese auction houses for cabin condition, further confirms there is no wear, staining or damage recorded to the seats, trim or dashboard on this car.
Japanese Auction Grades
Japanese auction grading uses a numerical scale for overall exterior and mechanical condition, typically running from 6 down through 5, 4.5, 4, 3.5 and lower for cars showing increasing wear, damage or repair history. A grade of 6 sits at the very top of this scale and is generally reserved for cars that are effectively new or extremely close to new condition, which aligns with this Revuelto's factory fresh registration date and minimal mileage. Interior condition is graded separately using a letter scale, with A representing the best available interior condition, again consistent with the near new state shown in the photographs. These grades are assigned independently by the auction house's own inspectors and should be read alongside the full written sheet and damage diagram rather than in isolation.
Model History
The Lamborghini Revuelto was launched to succeed the Aventador as Lamborghini's V12 flagship, arriving with a completely new hybrid powertrain architecture built around a 6.5 litre naturally aspirated V12 supported by three electric motors and a plug in battery pack. It marked several firsts for Lamborghini's top tier model, including the brand's first plug in hybrid production car, its first dual clutch transmission on a flagship model, and a new carbon fibre monocoque chassis developed with lessons taken from the limited run Sian. The Revuelto retains rear wheel drive from the engine while adding independently controlled electric drive to the front axle, giving true all wheel drive traction and torque vectoring that the outgoing Aventador never offered in this form. As a genuinely new generation car rather than a facelift or update, the Revuelto represents the start of a new chapter for Lamborghini's V12 line as the wider industry moves toward electrification.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
Even at this very early stage in its production life, the Revuelto is already drawing serious interest from collectors and enthusiasts, for several reasons. It is Lamborghini's first hybrid V12 flagship, meaning it represents a genuine turning point in the model line's engineering history, similar in significance to the introduction of four wheel drive on the Diablo or the carbon monocoque on the Aventador. The naturally aspirated V12 itself is an increasingly rare configuration in a market moving toward smaller turbocharged and fully electric powertrains, and Lamborghini has confirmed this engine architecture's days as an unassisted unit are numbered, adding to the appeal of any V12 Lamborghini built during this transitional period. Early production examples specified with striking factory optional paint and bespoke interior treatments, as seen on this particular car with its special order gold flake finish and gold embroidered Bianco cabin, tend to stand out further within the model's production run. One owner cars with genuinely minimal mileage and full supporting history, as this car has, are also increasingly hard to source, particularly from the Japanese market where meticulous ownership and low usage patterns on high value exotics are well documented at auction. Sourcing a car of this specification and condition directly from Japan, complete with its original documentation and factory accessories, gives UK buyers access to a genuinely fresh example of a car that will only become harder to find in this state as the model ages.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
Buyers considering a Lamborghini Revuelto should focus first on the completeness of the hybrid system's service and diagnostic history, given how new and complex this powertrain is compared with previous naturally aspirated only Lamborghini V12 cars. Confirming the battery, electric motors and dual clutch transmission have been checked by an authorised Lamborghini workshop, as this car's sheet notes was done at Lamborghini Azabu, gives useful reassurance on a car of this technical complexity. Buyers should also check that all original accessories are present, including the charging cable, spare key, key case and owner's documentation, all of which are confirmed present on this example. Given the complexity and value of the Revuelto's carbon monocoque construction and factory optional paintwork, a careful visual inspection of panel fit, paint consistency and any signs of stone chipping around the front end is worthwhile, though nothing of concern is recorded on this particular car's auction sheet or visible in its photographs. As with any very low mileage exotic, buyers should also be mindful that long periods of storage without use can bring their own maintenance considerations, which is likely behind the inspector's note requesting this car be kept under a roof going forward.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japan remains one of the strongest markets in the world for sourcing genuinely low mileage, well documented modern exotics, and this Revuelto is a clear example of why. A one owner, dealer imported example with under a thousand kilometres on the clock, full factory accessories, a service book and a diagnostic tester check carried out by the marque's own Tokyo dealership is a difficult combination to match in most other markets, where cars of this value and rarity are far more likely to have accumulated real world mileage and multiple owners by this stage. Buying through the Japanese auction system also gives access to an independent, standardised condition report and damage diagram completed by a trained inspector before the car is offered, adding a layer of transparency that private sales elsewhere typically cannot match.

Auction Caution
Auction cars such as this Lamborghini Revuelto are inspected before sale, but they remain used vehicles and the auction sheet should be read as an independent condition guide rather than a mechanical warranty. Several details on this particular sheet, including the exact final digit of the odometer reading, the precise colour code, the registration plate characters and parts of the seller's handwritten notes, could not be confirmed with full certainty and are noted as such throughout this report rather than stated as fact. The inspector's own comment requesting the car be kept under a roof should be noted by any buyer planning storage arrangements. Even a car in grade 6 condition with no marks on the damage diagram, such as this one, may need routine servicing, fluid checks or minor attention after import, particularly given the complexity of its hybrid powertrain, and buyers should budget for this as part of ownership.
