Lamborghini Revuelto Deliveries Begin in the UK: How the £452k Plug-In V12 Flagship Is Being Allocated to British Owners

News · 18 Jun 2026 · Michael Harrison

Order books full until 2026 before most British customer cars had even turned a wheel in anger, and new orders now stretching roughly 18 months out: that is the reality of the Lamborghini Revuelto in the UK right now. When Autocar reported the order books were full until 2026, it confirmed what the dealer network already knew: this 1,015 CV plug-in V12 flagship was spoken for long before anyone could specify the paint.

British owners have been taking delivery since 2024, and the way Sant’Agata hands the car over says as much about the modern Lamborghini buyer as the spec sheet does. Allocation, not money, is the gatekeeper here, and that changes the whole conversation.

What the Revuelto actually is

Strip away the drama and the headline is a properly resolved one: a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 mounted behind the cabin, paired with three electric motors and a plug-in hybrid system. The combined figure is 1,015 CV, comfortably past the 1,000bhp mark in old money, and it shifts the car to 62mph in 2.5 seconds with a top speed north of 217mph.

What I find genuinely significant is that Lamborghini hybridised the V12 to keep it, not replace it. Where rivals downsized and turbocharged, the Revuelto bolts electrification onto the engine that defines the brand. That is the bit owners are paying for, and it is the bit that makes the car feel like a flagship rather than a stopgap. Lamborghini’s own launch figures framed the demand bluntly: orders spanning two years of production, booked at unveiling.

The money, and what it really means in the UK

The base UK price is £452,040 before a single option box is ticked. In practice almost nobody pays that. According to AutoHit’s UK breakdown, most British-spec cars land between £550,000 and £600,000 once buyers move through the configurator: carbon, paint-to-sample finishes, interior trim and the various Ad Personam touches that this clientele treats as standard rather than indulgent.

So the honest figure to hold in your head is not £452k. It is roughly £100,000 to £150,000 on top, and that delta is entirely self-inflicted by the spec. For context, the gap between base and typical-as-built is itself the price of a very serious sports car. That is the tier we are in.

How allocation works, and why the wait is the point

Here is where a Revuelto differs from almost any other half-million-pound purchase. You cannot simply walk in with cleared funds and drive one home. New orders now carry an estimated 18-month wait, and the build slots that exist are being parcelled out by dealers to known, established customers first.

That allocation logic rewards loyalty over liquidity. An owner with an Aventador, a Huracán and a relationship with their dealer principal is going to see a slot before a first-time buyer waving a deposit. It is frustrating if you are on the outside, but it is deliberate: Lamborghini is protecting residual values and brand exclusivity by controlling who gets in and how fast. A car that is sold out until late 2026 does not discount, and it does not flood the used market.

For the buyer, the practical takeaway is uncomfortable but clear. If you are not already inside a dealer’s customer book, you are joining the back of a queue that stretches past 2026, and you may be steered toward a build slot rather than a spec you actually chose. The scarcity is real, and it is engineered.

Who should be chasing one now

If you are an existing Lamborghini owner with a standing relationship, the move is straightforward: get your order and your specification in front of your dealer now, because the slots opening for 2026 and beyond are the ones being filled today. Waiting for the noise to die down is exactly how you lose your place.

If you are coming to the brand cold, I would be honest with myself about what I am actually buying into. You are not just buying a car at £550k-plus; you are buying a multi-year wait and a spec that may be shaped by what allocation allows rather than what you would ideally choose. For some buyers the V12 hybrid drivetrain and the badge justify every bit of that. For others, particularly anyone who wants the keys this year, the cleaner route is the established used market, where early UK delivery cars are starting to surface, albeit with their own premium attached.

The thing that would settle it for me

What would make me commit, without hesitation, is the engine. Lamborghini had every commercial reason to turbocharge or shrink the V12 and chose not to; it electrified around it instead. That single decision is why the Revuelto reads as a true flagship and not a transitional model, and it is why the order book filled before the reviews even landed. The wait is brutal and the allocation game is unapologetically exclusionary, but the car at the end of it is the real thing. If you can secure a slot, the only question left worth asking is how you would spec it, because the demand has already answered everything else.
