Monterey Car Week is where automotive history and the future of the industry often meet, and this year Lamborghini used one of the world’s most exclusive automotive gatherings to celebrate a vehicle that helped create the modern supercar.
At The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, Lauren Fix and Karl Brauer sat down with Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Lamborghini, to discuss the Revuelto Miura 60th Homage, a limited-production model created to celebrate 60 years of the legendary Lamborghini Miura.
The Miura changed the automotive world when it debuted in the 1960s. With its dramatic design, low-slung proportions and revolutionary mid-mounted V12, the Miura helped establish the blueprint for the modern supercar. It was exotic, powerful and unlike anything else on the road at the time.
Sixty years later, Lamborghini is honoring that legacy with one of its most advanced vehicles, the Revuelto.
Limited to just 99 examples, the Revuelto Miura 60th Homage connects Lamborghini’s past with its future. The special edition pays tribute to the Miura through exclusive design details and styling inspired by the original, while using the Revuelto as its technological foundation.
That foundation is a significant one.
The Revuelto is Lamborghini’s flagship V12 super sports car, combining a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine with a plug-in hybrid system and three electric motors. The result is more than 1,000 horsepower, but the Revuelto represents something even more important for Lamborghini, the evolution of its iconic V12 without abandoning the character that made the brand famous.
That balance between heritage and innovation was a key part of the conversation with Winkelmann at The Quail.
The automotive industry is undergoing one of the most significant technological transformations in its history. Automakers are navigating electrification, increasingly complex regulations and changing consumer expectations. For Lamborghini, the challenge is moving forward without losing the personality and emotional connection that have defined the company for decades.
The Revuelto Miura 60th Homage represents that philosophy.
The Miura was revolutionary because Lamborghini was willing to do something different. It challenged traditional automotive thinking and created a new category of performance car. Today, the Revuelto is doing something similar by combining electrification with the naturally aspirated V12 engine rather than simply replacing it.
For Lamborghini enthusiasts, the V12 is more than an engine. It is part of the company’s identity.
That makes the Miura anniversary particularly significant. The original Miura helped establish Lamborghini as a serious competitor in the world of high-performance exotic automobiles. Its influence can still be seen in the company’s dramatic styling and its commitment to building vehicles that are designed to create an emotional response before the engine is even started.
The Revuelto Miura 60th Homage is clearly aimed at collectors, especially with production limited to 99 examples. But the vehicle also represents something larger for the brand. It is a statement about where Lamborghini has been and where it intends to go.
During the interview, Winkelmann discussed Lamborghini’s continued commitment to preserving the characteristics that make its vehicles unique while adapting to an industry that is changing rapidly. The Revuelto demonstrates how the company sees that future, advanced technology and electrification working alongside, rather than replacing, the V12.
There are few places more appropriate for that conversation than Monterey Car Week. The event brings together some of the most valuable, historic and technologically advanced automobiles in the world. At The Quail, surrounded by automotive history, Lamborghini celebrated one of its most important vehicles by looking toward the future.
Sixty years after the Miura helped redefine the super sports car, Lamborghini is still relying on the same philosophy that made the original so significant, build something that challenges expectations.
The Revuelto Miura 60th Homage may be a celebration of the past, but it is also a reminder that Lamborghini’s future still has room for a V12.
