Oh no! Esteban Ocon has just taken delivery of this Mansory Revuelto
Esteban is cool. This “personally designed” hybrid Lambo... not so much
Ah, so you thought all F1 drivers were cool? Well, Max Verstappen certainly went up in our estimations with his victorious busman's holiday at the Nürburgring last weekend, but sadly we must now reprimand Esteban Ocon for his latest choice of vehicle.
You see, it turns out Ocon has just taken delivery of this Mansory Initiate, and the infamous German tuner says that it was “personally designed and built entirely according to his personal preferences”.
Oh dear, Esteban. Did the Lamborghini Revuelto really need all that marbled carbon fibre? And what is going on with those wheels?
Of course, we’ll forgive the fast Frenchman for wanting the extra power that Mansory extracts from the 6.5-litre V12. It rises from 814bhp to 868bhp, so total system output is now 1,055bhp when the hybrid assist is fully on song. Probably not necessary for us mere mortals, but F1 drivers get special dispensation here.
Anyway, it turns out Mansory has actually partnered with Ocon, with the Haas driver displaying the tuner’s logo on his helmet. We’re told that there’s “much more to come” from the collab too. Uh oh…
