<\/figure>\nAutomotive journalists recently had the opportunity to experience a breathtaking Revuelto finished in Viola 30th, an iconic paint color famously popularized by the legendary Lamborghini Diablo SE30. For automotive pop-culture enthusiasts, the Diablo variant is perhaps best remembered for its starring role in Jamiroquai\u2019s iconic "Cosmic Girl" music video. While the base car commands an already steep price, this particular test vehicle featured an astonishing $133,227 in total options. Among that extensive list of upgrades, two distinct carbon-fiber exterior packages accounted for a staggering $50,601\u2014proving that when it comes to hypercar customisation, composite materials carry the weight of a completely separate luxury vehicle.<\/p>\n
$50,601 in carbon fiber<\/h2>\n
Diving into the breakdown of the exterior enhancements reveals just how quickly costs escalate in the realm of Italian exotic manufacturing. The first major option is titled the "lower exterior carbon package \u2013 shiny." As the name implies, buyers seeking visual carbon fiber on their Revuelto can choose between a subtle matte finish or a glossy, high-shine lacquer. In this instance, the lower package commands a hefty $24,623 price tag. Selecting this option replaces standard plain black plastic components with authentic carbon fiber, specifically outfitting the front splitter, the aggressive side skirts, the entire rear diffuser, and the vertical aerodynamic fins integrated into the front bumper.<\/p>\n Stepping upward brings buyers to the "upper exterior carbon package \u2013 shiny," which carries an even steeper price tag of $25,978. This package transforms the vehicle’s profile by swapping out standard body-adjacent trim for exposed composite weave. It covers the lower windshield surround where the wiper assembly is mounted, the exterior side mirrors, the door handles, the functional side air intakes, and the massive engine cover. For collectors who find this level of lightweight material insufficient, Lamborghini\u2019s factory configurator hints at even further carbon upgrades\u2014including the roof panel, A-pillars, rear spoiler, rear decklid, and door fins\u2014though pricing for those specific components requires direct dealer inquiry.<\/p>\n These exotic materials contribute significantly to the test car’s staggering $806,521 as-tested sticker price. Beyond the base MSRP of $664,799, buyers must factor in mandatory expenses, including a $3,995 destination charge and a $4,500 federal gas guzzler tax. Aesthetic choices add up rapidly as well. The Viola 30th custom paint finish alone costs $14,331, while contrasting silver stripes applied to the rear diffuser add another $4,052. Inside the cockpit, thousands of dollars are spent on extended leather upholstery, highlighted by Grigio Silver stitching priced at $6,092. Manually adjustable sport seats demand an additional $8,387, while functional details like Nero Lucido black brake calipers cost $1,959, matte black exhaust tips run $1,355, and a dedicated passenger-side display adds $4,052.<\/p>\n Perhaps the most surprising aspect of configuring a multi-million-dollar Italian supercar is encountering mandatory safety and convenience features sitting squarely on the options sheet. This particular Revuelto features a $3,596 Parking Pack, which bundles basic parking sensors with a 360-degree surround-view camera system. Additionally, a $2,710 Surround Assistance Pack introduces blind-spot monitoring, front intersection assist, side assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. <\/p>\n The inclusion of these features as optional extras is notable given the Revuelto\u2019s extreme, wedge-shaped proportions and notoriously limited rearward visibility. Even more striking is the absence of the Full High Assistant Pack, which would otherwise incorporate automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. Consequently, this elite supercar lacks adaptive cruise control entirely.<\/p>\n Other interior conveniences further inflate the final invoice. An integrated garage door opener adds $671, while RGB ambient lighting costs $403 and limits occupants to a choice of 30 colors. Backlit matte carbon-fiber door kick plates cost $2,710, and custom floor mats trimmed with leather borders run $671. Essential modern connectivity, such as integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, requires a $3,717 software package. <\/p>\n On the bright side, the $6,628 Sonus faber high-end audio system delivers exceptional acoustic performance, and Lamborghini has thankfully included cup holders as standard equipment\u2014even if they struggle to accommodate standard American-sized coffee cups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New cars are notoriously expensive.
