The Revuelto is Lamborghini's flagship, the successor to the Aventador, and the first hybrid V12 the company has ever built. It makes 1,015 hp and reaches 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. Ours is black, which in Tokyo at night makes it look less like a car and more like something that escaped from a concept sketch.
A ride in our black Lamborghini Revuelto costs ¥100,000 per person for the 1-hour Tokyo landmark route and ¥180,000 per person for the 3-hour evening run to Daikoku PA — the same price as the Ferrari 488 GTB. You ride in the passenger seat with a professional driver, so no licence is required. The Revuelto is a strict two-seater, so one guest rides per booking.

⚡ Why the Revuelto is unusual. Most manufacturers used hybridisation as a reason to shrink the engine. Lamborghini did the opposite: the Revuelto's V12 is larger, revs higher and makes more power than the Aventador's, and the electric motors were added on top. It is a plug-in hybrid that can run short distances silently — which, on a residential Tokyo street at night, is a genuinely useful party trick.
The Revuelto is the car that stops conversations. Its scissor doors, the fighter-jet cockpit and the sheer width of it mean that in the confines of a Tokyo street it barely looks legal. Pulling up outside a hotel in Shinjuku in a black Revuelto produces a reaction that the Ferrari does not quite match.
The hybrid system also changes the experience in a way that suits the city. In electric mode the car leaves a hotel forecourt in near silence, which matters in Tokyo where noise at night is taken seriously. Then, on the Bayshore Route, the V12 comes in — and a naturally aspirated V12 revving toward 9,500 rpm in a tunnel is one of the loudest sounds still legal on a public road.

Guests who care most about being seen, or about how the car sounds, choose the Revuelto. Guests who care most about the car being recognisably a Ferrari choose the 488. Both cost the same.
Daikoku Parking Area is where the Revuelto earns its money. It is a genuinely knowledgeable crowd, the Revuelto is still new enough to be uncommon in Japan, and parked with the doors up under the sodium lights of the parking area it draws a circle of phones within about a minute. The package departs at 18:00 with hotel pickup and runs three hours.
Black is harder to photograph than red or white in daylight but comes alive at night, when the reflections of Shibuya and Ginza run across the bodywork. If you are taking the Revuelto on the 1-hour route, book an evening slot rather than an afternoon one.
1,015 hp, black, scissor doors. ¥100,000 for one hour or ¥180,000 for three hours to Daikoku PA.
