Revuelto Miura 60° Homage: What Lamborghini's 99-Car Anniversary Edition Really OffersSixty years on from the car that invented the genre, Lamborghini's anniversary present to itself is a Revuelto with different paint and better seat stitching. That sounds dismissive. It isn't, entirely — but let's be honest about what the Revuelto Miura 60° Homage is before we get to why it might still matter.Lamborghini announced the car on August 3, capped at 99 examples, developed through the Ad Personam bespoke program with Centro Stile, debuting at the Lamborghini Lounge during Monterey Car Week. There are no mechanical changes. The Revuelto underneath is the same V12 hybrid it was last week: 1,015 CV and 807 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, north of 350 km/h.What you're actually buyingThe exterior gets nine paint options drawn from the Miura's original palette — Rosso Arancio, Arancio, Giallo, Verde Scandal, Verde Metallic, Blu Tahiti, Blu Notte, Nero Noctis, and Bianco Monocerus. Over that sits the real trick: a two-tone treatment with the lower bodywork in a contrasting shade, either Oro Elios with Altanero Shiny Gold wheels or Grigio Nimbus with Altanero Matt Titanium Diamond wheels. Add a Miura 60 badge above the Revuelto script on the sill, a gloss black rear Lamborghini logo, gloss black calipers, matte black tailpipes.AdvertisementAdvertisementInside, the seats wear Classica Trim with a reinterpretation of the Miura's "cannelloni" pleating, leather across the center tunnel, doors, and the rear bulkhead, plus Miura 60 embroidery between the seats and a carbon-fiber plaque on the driver's side numbered one through 99.Related ArticlesNinth Circuit Tosses Suzuki Front Brake Master Cylinder Class Action — And Explains WhyBronco RTR ROVR: What RTR's $26,595 Overland Package Actually BuysThe genuinely interesting item is buried at the bottom of the release: owners whose historic Miuras wear a color outside those nine can commission Ad Personam to replicate the original spec. That's the difference between a badge package and a service, and it tells you exactly who this car is aimed at — people who already own the 1966 car and want the 2026 one to match it in the garage.Lamborghini has run this play beforeIn 2016, for the Miura's 50th, Lamborghini built the Aventador Miura Homage: 50 units, also from Ad Personam, also a two-tone with a contrasting lower body, with the upper body available in the Miura's original 18 colors and the lower in gold or matte silver.AdvertisementAdvertisementCompare the two and the strategy shift is visible. The run doubled from 50 to 99. The preset color choice narrowed from 18 to nine. And the bespoke escape hatch — bring us your Miura's paint code — got promoted from implied to advertised. Lamborghini figured out that the scarcity sells the car and the personalization sells the margin.Ninety-nine is also a strange number when you hold it against the source material. RM Sotheby's puts total Miura production of all types at roughly 753 cars. Lamborghini is about to build one tribute for every eight originals ever made.The Miura detail nobody mentions in the anniversary coverageHere's the thing worth knowing about the car being honored. The Miura's transverse V12 and gearbox shared a single cast housing — and therefore shared lubricating oil. Engine and transmission drank from the same well, which meant gear wear debris circulated through engine bearings and the oil had to serve two wildly different jobs at once.Later Miuras got a split-sump design separating the two systems, and it's now a standard upgrade on serious restorations of early cars. That RM Sotheby's lot at Monterey — chassis 01024, an early "thin-chassis" example, one of 125 built that way — received exactly that modification during its four-year rebuild, alongside frame gusset reinforcement and electrical and fire-suppression upgrades. Estimate: $1.9 million to $2.8 million.AdvertisementAdvertisementThat's the honest version of Miura ownership. The prettiest car ever built is also a machine that needs its lubrication architecture rethought and its chassis reinforced before you'd want to drive it hard.What this means for buyersNothing changes mechanically, and that's a feature. No re-homologation, no unique service procedures, no orphan parts. Your Miura 60° goes into the same dealer bay as every other Revuelto and gets the same software, the same fluids, the same warranty conversation. Compare that to buying a low-volume mechanical special where the specific parts are the specific problem.Paint is the maintenance risk. A special-series two-tone with contrasting lower sections and metallic gold or titanium accents is not a color your local shop blends on a Tuesday. Curb a rocker and you're looking at a factory-referenced respray of a panel that has to match a second color along a defined break line. Budget accordingly, and find out before you buy which body shops in your region are actually approved for the work.Insure it as what it is. A numbered, documented, 99-unit series with traceable Ad Personam specification is an agreed-value proposition, not a stated-value one. The plaque, the build documentation, and the original order sheet are the evidence an appraiser will want in ten years. Keep them together, keep them dry, and photograph the car as delivered.Related ArticlesI Told Atlanta to Give the Red Bull Showrun a Chance.

History suggests cosmetic special editions don't hold value the way mechanically distinct ones do — the market has consistently paid more for cars that are different to drive than for cars that are different to look at. The counterargument here is that 99 is a genuinely small number and Ad Personam provenance is becoming its own collectible category. Both things can be true. Just don't confuse a limited paint scheme with a limited engine.The better anniversary story is happening on a golf courseWhile the Homage debuts in Monterey, Lamborghini is putting on something considerably harder to replicate. On August 16, more than 40 Miuras will gather on the third fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links — the largest assembly of the model anywhere, ever, organized with Lamborghini Club USA, and open to the public.Ninety-nine people will get a Revuelto with gold sills. Everyone else gets to stand in front of forty of the actual cars. In terms of value received, I'm not sure the buyers are winning.Images Via: Lamborghini
