Ocon goes full Mansory with 1,051hp Lamborghini Revuelto

Esteban Ocon didn’t need many words to introduce his latest toy. Just two, in fact. “First drive.” But the machine doing the talking beside him? That’s a whole novel.

Freshly unveiled on social media, Ocon’s new Lamborghini Revuelto has been treated to the full Mansory experience – and then some.

Cloaked in deep black with sharp red accents, the look leans hard into the tuner’s signature contrast-heavy style, all exposed carbon, oversized attitude and unapologetic aggression. Subtle was never invited.

The Revuelto itself is already Lamborghini’s statement piece: the brand’s first series-production V12 hybrid and the successor to the mighty Aventador. Mansory has simply turned the volume knob further to the right.

This particular build is a one-of-one Initiate model, designed entirely around Ocon’s personal tastes and marking Mansory’s first official partnership with a Formula 1 driver. To underline the relationship, the Haas racer will also carry the Mansory logo on his helmet – and the tuner promises, ominously and excitingly, that “there is much more to come.”

Under the sculpted skin sits a 6.5-litre V12 producing 825 horsepower, backed by three electric motors for a combined 1051 horsepower – the most powerful Lamborghini ever built.

The numbers are predictably outrageous: 0–62mph in 2.5 seconds, 124mph in under seven, and a top speed of 217mph if road, bravery and common sense allow.

Hybrid efficiency? Sure. But let’s be honest – this one’s about drama. And Ocon seems perfectly happy letting the car speak for itself.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
