    60 Years of Speed: Lamborghini Honors Miura with Exclusive Revuelto Special Edition

    To mark the 60th anniversary of the iconic Miura, Lamborghini has unveiled a limited-run special edition vehicle named the Revuelto Miura 60 Degree Homage. This unique series, which will only have 99 units available globally, is the brainchild of the brand’s Ad Personam personalisation division and Centro Stile. The anticipated public debut for this special edition will take place during Monterey Car Week in 2026.

    Design Inspired by Miura

    The Revuelto Miura 60 Degree Homage incorporates numerous visual cues from the original Miura, all set within Lamborghini’s current plug-in hybrid flagship. Buyers have the option of nine heritage-inspired exterior paint shades – Arancio, Giallo, Blu Tahiti, Blu Notte, Rosso Arancio, Verde Metallic, Verde Scandal, Nero Noctis, and Bianco Monocerus.

    There are also two exclusive paint schemes available. The Oro Elios theme merges gold-coloured accents with gloss gold wheels, and the Grigio Nimbus variant features grey detailing and matte titanium-finish wheels. Additionally, owners of the original Miura models can collaborate with Lamborghini’s Ad Personam department to reproduce their classic car’s original colour scheme on the new Revuelto.

    Further design aspects include Miura-inspired lower body graphics, a subtle Miura 60 logo nestled within the side graphics, and a gloss-black Lamborghini wordmark at the car’s rear. Black brake callipers and matte-black exhaust tips complete the exterior design.

    Customised Interior

    The cabin of the special edition continues the retro influence. Tan leather upholstery and classic “cannelloni” seat stitching inspired by the original Miura lend a vintage appeal. The seats feature an embroidered Miura 60 logo, and a carbon-fibre plaque inscribed with “Miura 60 Degree – Serie Speciale 1 di 99” adorns each car.

    While these additions are primarily aesthetic, they forge a deeper connection to the car’s heritage. The treatment also highlights the fact that this model is collector-focused, not mechanically redesigned.

    Despite the changes in design, the Revuelto Miura 60 Degree Homage maintains the standard model’s plug-in hybrid powertrain. This combines a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine with three electric motors and an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The powertrain generates a total output of 1,015 hp and 807 Nm, driving all four wheels. Lamborghini claims the car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 350 km/h.

    Although Lamborghini has yet to release the pricing details for the Revuelto Miura 60 Degree Homage, it’s expected to command a considerable premium given the standard Revuelto’s price tag of Rs 8.89 crore (ex-showroom) in India.

    Suzuki Ertiga Black Edition Just Launched In The Philippines

    The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga was introduced in India last year and is sold in a number of markets including several South East Asian countries. The new generation model is being offered with several upgrades overseas and latest one is a new special edition model for Philippines. The Suzuki Ertiga Black Edition brings an all-black interior to the MPV without making any changes to the exterior of the vehicle, which can otherwise be seen on the special edition Ertiga GT set for debut later this month in Indonesia.

    Coming to the changes on the Suzuki Ertiga Black edition for Philippines, the model gets the all-black treatment in place of the beige themed cabin on the standard version. The automaker has also used darker wood trims on the dashboard to match the overall theme, while the plastics inside the cabin are black as well. The wood finished multi-function steering wheel continues to be on offer. The car continues to be offered as a seven-seater with the 2+3+3 layout. Internationally, the Ertiga misses out on the SmartPlay Studio infotainment system but does get a 10-inch touchscreen display with with Bluetooth, USB and AUX connectivity.

    Under the hood, the Philippines-spec Suzuki Ertiga draws powered from the 1.5-litre K-Series petrol engine tuned for 103 bhp, and is paired with a 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmission. The engine is also offered in India alongside the 1.3-litre DDiS diesel motor with 89 on tap. That said, reports suggest that the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga for India is all set to get the new Suzuki-developed 1.5-litre diesel engine under the hood. The new motor will meet the stringent BS6 norms and will effectively replace the 1.3 Fiat-sourced mill across the Maruti Suzuki vehicle range. There are also reports of a more premium six-seater version coming later this year and could be sold exclusively via the Nexa outlets.
