Like always, it didn’t take long for someone to find the limits of the Lamborghini Revuelto, absolutely thrashing the Italian supercar is a horrific crash. Naturally, British car YouTuber Mat Armstrong bought the Lambo in its decrepit state. He even proudly claims it’s the first Revuelto crashed in the world.
Drama erupts in the motorsports scene.
As the successor to the venerable Aventador, the Revuelto has some big shoes to fill. Not everyone is going to be a fan of the plug-in hybrid powertrain. In fact, Jeremy Clarkson chronicled a big problem he experienced with his own, making it clear he wasn’t impressed.
What Armstrong plans to do is rebuild the Italian monster, selling it for a tidy profit. Sure, it will have a branded title, but if it’s put together properly, someone will be willing to shell out good money for it.
While he undoubtedly still paid a tidy sum for the totaled supercar, Armstrong has some experience doing these sorts of things. The man has bought and repaired other crashed vehicles, including professional soccer player Marcus Rashford’s Rolls-Royce Masonry.
He learned a hard lesson about how expensive fixing a Rolls is, which probably helped him prepare for this insane project. But the man admits right up front he has zero experience with anything hybrid.
Maybe this one wasn’t such a great plan?
The Lamborghini Revuelto sustained some pretty heavy front-end damage and got smashed up some in the rear. While the carbon-fiber hood and a lot of the front suspension is just plain done, not to mention the passenger-side front fender absolutely missing, the real question is was the carbon-fiber monocoque damaged?
If so, the repair job absolutely soars in cost, probably making the Lambo too expensive to repair, dooming it to be scrapped for parts. But if that part is okay, Armstrong should be able to make some good money off this ride or keep it for his own enjoyment.
