Sixty cars. That’s how many units Lamborghini plans to build of its upcoming Revuelto Miura Edition, a special hybrid supercar draped in the visual language of arguably the most important mid-engine road car ever made. The debut is expected in August at Pebble Beach, and it sits inside a broader 2026 offensive that includes four new models starting in May.

The Miura is the car that invented the supercar template in 1966. Low, dramatic, mid-engine, completely unhinged for its era. When Lamborghini reaches back to that name, the stakes are different than when it slaps “SV” or “Performante” on a fender.

This isn’t the first attempt. About a decade ago, the Aventador Miura Edition mined the same territory with two-tone paint schemes borrowed from classic Miura color combinations. It was tasteful, restrained, and it worked precisely because the Aventador underneath was a naturally aspirated V-12 brute that didn’t need to apologize for anything.

The Revuelto is a different animal. It’s a plug-in hybrid with three electric motors bolted to a new 6.5-liter V-12, making a combined 1,001 horsepower. Wrapping that powertrain in retro-inspired aesthetics is a trickier proposition than it sounds.

Expect the two-tone exterior treatment to return. That detail is non-negotiable when invoking the Miura — the original’s signature color split across its flanks is one of the most recognizable design elements in automotive history. Reports suggest Lamborghini will push deeper this time, with additional styling cues referencing the original car’s proportions and lines.

The interior reportedly gets retro-flavored upholstery and unique trim details, though the underlying cabin remains the Revuelto’s thoroughly modern cockpit with its digital displays and drive-mode selectors.

At 60 units, the car is pre-sold in spirit before it ever reaches a stage. Collector-grade scarcity like that transforms a vehicle from a product into an artifact. Pricing hasn’t been announced, but the standard Revuelto starts north of $600,000.

A heritage edition limited to five dozen examples will command a substantial premium. Buyers at this altitude aren’t comparison shopping. They’re acquiring positions on a waiting list.

There’s a second special Revuelto also expected to surface around the same August window. Details remain thin, but the stacking tells you something about Lamborghini’s approach. The Revuelto isn’t being treated as a single car — it’s a platform, a canvas for different stories aimed at different segments of the ultra-wealthy buyer pool.

That strategy reveals a quiet anxiety. The Revuelto represents Lamborghini’s first electrified flagship, and the transition from the Aventador’s pure V-12 howl to a hybrid powertrain was never going to be frictionless with traditionalists. Heritage-laced special editions are the bridge, telling longtime customers that the soul hasn’t been traded for software.

Lamborghini’s 2026 calendar — four models, staggered releases, heritage editions layered on top — reads like a brand that understands attention is a finite resource and plans to monopolize it. The Urus SE is already in the market. The Temerario is arriving and the Revuelto family expands.

Whether the Miura Edition becomes a genuine landmark or just another beautifully appointed limited run depends entirely on execution. Get the proportions of old and new wrong, and it’s expensive cosplay. Get them right, and you have a car that proves hybrid technology and analog soul can coexist under the same two-tone skin.

Sixty people will find out firsthand. Everyone else will form their opinions from photos taken at Pebble Beach on a Sunday morning in August, squinting at a hybrid supercar wearing the ghost of a 1966 masterpiece. That’s the game Lamborghini is playing now — selling the future by dressing it in the past, one meticulously limited batch at a time.
