Lamborghini Unveils Samurai-Inspired Revuelto Impavido V12 Hybrid Supercar
Lamborghini has unveiled the Revuelto Impavido, a Japan-exclusive limited edition model, to commemorate 25 years of its entry into the Japanese market. This model consists of 25 units of V12 plug-in hybrid supercars with unique serial numbers. These bespoke vehicles feature distinctive graphic themes on their interior and exterior, paying homage to the spirit of traditional samurai warriors. Unfortunately, a katana (Japanese sword) storage stand option is not available.
The name Impavido, meaning "fearless" in Italian, is a tribute to the Bushido code, which defines the samurai spirit as discipline, courage, and unwavering determination. Developed through Lamborghini's Ad Personam bespoke program, this custom flagship model connects Italian engineering prowess with Japanese symbolism.
For example, almost every angular edge of the Impavido incorporates samurai symbolism. Lamborghini explains that the sharp graphics running across the doors and rear bumper are reminiscent of a katana's slashing motion, while the gold accents on the bodywork reflect the intricate silk cords called Odoshi, traditionally used to bind plates of a samurai's armor.
The front nose reinterpretes Maedate, a protective ornament installed on samurai helmets, giving the vehicle a commanding presence (although it might appear as if the hood is slightly damaged due to this). The roof and fender points reference Kozane, lacquered plates that constituted traditional armor. Here, they are transformed into modern carbon fiber textures and layered panels.
Lamborghini offers the Impavido in four carefully selected themes. First, there are two high-gloss finishes. Verde Campus, a tribute to Japan's national stone, Jadeite, and Grigio Artis Luce, a metallic shade reflecting polished katana steel. For buyers who prefer a more subdued feel, two matte finishes are also available.
Inspired by dark iron armor, the Grigio Crater Matte finish and a bold red homage Rosso Pira to the famous Sanada clan's battle armor. Each model features shiny black Altareno forged wheels (21 inches front, 22 inches rear) paired with Bronzo brake calipers and dark exhaust tips.
The interior features bucket seats and a dashboard upholstered in Nero Ade leather with lightweight Corsa Tex trim, accented by Bronzo Oreadi stitching. Custom embroidery highlights the seats, doors, and headliner, while a carbon fiber "1 di 25" badge featuring a samurai motif and number emphasizes the limited-edition nature of the car.
The car's interior houses Lamborghini's flagship electrified powertrain, unmodified. A naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine sits centrally and is combined with three electric motors and an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Together they deliver a total output of 1,015 horsepower, transmitted through an all-wheel drive system that includes electronic torque vectoring. Boasting a power-to-weight ratio of 1.75 kg (3.85 pounds) per horsepower, the Impavido can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed exceeding 215 mph (approximately 346 km/h).
