Lamborghini Revuelto Impavido: the Italian V12 dresses up as a samurai
- Published on 28/07/2026 8:09
To celebrate its 25 years in Japan, Lamborghini unveils a very special series of the Revuelto, where the samurai code of honor meets the 1,015 hp of the hybrid V12.
At Lamborghini, limited series are almost a tradition. But with the Revuelto Impavido, the Italian manufacturer takes it a step further by drawing inspiration from the world of samurai. Exclusively reserved for the Japanese market and produced in only 25 numbered units, this edition celebrates a quarter of a century of Lamborghini in Japan with an approach that is both original and refined.
The name Impavido – “fearless” in Italian – directly resonates with Bushido, the famous code of honor of Japanese warriors. Courage, discipline, loyalty, and the quest for perfection are values that Lamborghini believes it shares with its vision of the modern supercar.
The Way of the Samurai
In practical terms, there’s no need to look for a katana in the trunk. It is the design that tells the story. The sharp lines of the bodywork evoke the cut of a samurai’s sword, while the golden touches remind of the silk ties of traditional armor. At the front, the shield is inspired by the maedate, the ornament fixed on the warriors’ helmets, while some details of the bodywork reflect the aesthetics of Japanese armor plates.
Four exclusive configurations are offered, each referring to a symbol of Japanese culture. The green is inspired by Japanese jade, the shiny grey pays homage to the katana, the matte grey recalls the armor of the samurai, and the red celebrates the famous Sanada Red, a color associated with courage on the battlefield.
Under this highly inspired exterior, nothing changes mechanically. The Revuelto retains its spectacular naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, supported by three electric motors to develop 1,015 hp. The 0 to 100 km/h is still dispatched in 2.5 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 350 km/h.
