Lamborghini Is Already Testing a Revuelto Facelift -- Just Two Years After Launch

Lamborghini only started deliveries of the Revuelto, its V12 hybrid successor to the Aventador, a little over two years ago. Order books for the car reportedly stretch out that far again, and the brand only just pulled the wraps off the harder-edged Revuelto SV in August. By any normal supercar timeline, a facelift should be years away.

Spy photographers have now caught a heavily camouflaged Revuelto test mule that appears to confirm one is already in the works. The prototype keeps the Revuelto's overall silhouette and its Y-shaped daytime running light signature, but the details around it look substantially reworked: slimmer headlights and a sharper nose, a redesigned front bumper with a wider central intake, and broader rear haunches that replace the current car's distinctive floating buttresses. The tail carries extra ventilation cut into the bumper, and the stepped rear wing's relationship with the central exhaust has changed as well.

Why the rush

None of this fits the pattern of a routine mid-cycle nip and tuck. The scale of the changes -- particularly around the rear three-quarter, where the buttress design was one of the Revuelto's signature styling cues -- suggests Lamborghini is treating this as more than a cosmetic update. It comes at a moment when the brand is under real pressure to keep its flagship V12 hybrid feeling current: rivals are cycling through hypercar and hybrid halo-car updates faster than ever, and Lamborghini has shown with the Temerario and the Revuelto SV that it's willing to iterate on a nameplate quickly rather than let it sit untouched for a full product cycle.

Nothing has been confirmed by the factory, and Lamborghini has not commented on the test mule or its timeline. Based on how early this prototype appears to be in development, a public unveiling is unlikely before 2028.

What it means for buyers in Dubai

For collectors and buyers across Dubai and the wider GCC, this kind of early facelift chatter tends to move the market well before the car itself arrives. Current Revuelto and Revuelto SV allocations remain some of the tightest in the region, and a confirmed update -- even one that's still years out -- typically firms up resale values on well-optioned early cars rather than softening them, since buyers know the outgoing version becomes the "pre-facelift" variant collectors often chase.

It's exactly the kind of shift we track closely at House of Cars Dubai. Whether you're looking to place an order for a current Revuelto, source a specific configuration from outside the UAE, or sell a Revuelto you're ready to move on from before the next generation lands, having an accurate read on where residual values are headed matters as much as the car itself. If you're weighing the timing on a V12 Lamborghini purchase or sale, our team can walk you through what we're currently seeing across the Dubai and GCC market.

Until Lamborghini says otherwise, the current Revuelto and SV remain the only way to get the brand's V12 hybrid flagship -- and going by this spy shot, that window may be shorter than most buyers assumed.
