This is a one-off Lamborghini Revuelto inspired by the island of Sardinia

Want to feel like you’re on a sun-kissed island without actually being on a sun-kissed island?

Published: 05 Aug 2024

As anyone who’s been to Sardinia will tell you, it’s very blue. What if you want to feel like you’re in Sardinia without actually being in Sardinia? Lamborghini has just created this: a very blue Revuelto inspired by the gorgeous island.

Dubbed the ‘Opera Unica’ (or ‘unique work’) and created by Lambo’s Ad Personam division, it took around 475 hours of good ol’ hand painting to create. That’d make for one seriously good Art Attack episode, we reckon.

Once masked and taped up, the original Revuelto then had two and three-tone fading paint applied with careful brush strokes. The point of this was to try and recreate the look of “waves hitting the cliffs” as accurately as possible. Right.

It follows a similarly blue/black theme inside, with bespoke details applied to sections like the start/stop button and across the seat headrests. Though there are no sand effects here, it may seem a bit less like sitting on the beach and a bit more like… being stuck a mile off the coast of Sardinia.

It’ll probably feel like you’re being hurled around by rogue wave sequences too, given the power plant is still the hybridised V12 that puts out around 1,000bhp. That means 0-62mph in 2.5s and a top speed of 217… or 189 knots.

If you’re interested in it at this point, we hate to be the bearers of bad news: it’s a one-off. Though Ad Personam might recreate the Opera Unica with a fair amount of accuracy if enough cheques are flung in its direction.
