The verdict

This one won me over on looks and lost me a little on the inside.

The shaping of this LEGO® set is genuinely lovely, and driving it around the kitchen floor with the Control+ app is more fun than I want to admit. But you're paying supercar money for electronics, not for the intricate Technic engineering the theme used to be famous for. If you want a display piece that also zips across the room, you'll be happy. If you build Technic for the gearboxes, temper your expectations.

Best for: Lamborghini fans who want a remote-control display model more than a mechanical puzzle

The full review

What it is

The Lamborghini Revuelto is Lamborghini's first proper plug-in hybrid, the V12 flagship that replaced the Aventador, and LEGO clearly wanted the model to feel like an event. At 1,135 pieces this LEGO® set builds a low, wide supercar with the sharp creased shaping the real Revuelto is known for, right down to glow-in-the-dark headlights and a rear engine cover you can lift. Once it's finished and sitting on a shelf, it really does read as the car. The proportions are right, the stance is right, and the lights genuinely give it personality when you fire up the Control+ app. I keep saying I'll put it away and then I drive it across the room one more time.

The catch

Here's where I have to be straight with you. This is Technic in its modern skin, which means the looks came first and the mechanical cleverness came second. There's no proper working gearbox, no fake piston engine you spin by hand, none of the intricate function stacking that made older Technic sets feel like little machines. What you get instead is a set built around a rechargeable Powered Up hub, three motors and six lights, all steered from your phone. And the electronics are why the price stings. At $189.99 for 1,135 pieces, you're not paying for parts, you're paying for the battery, the motors and the app. New Elementary clocked it at nearly 16 cents per part, which is steep. The handling through a touchscreen is fiddly, two of the six lights end up unused, and the hub is walled off from the official Powered Up app and third-party tools like Pybricks, so you can't reprogram it or reuse it creatively. A few of the stickers are also too small to fully cover what they're meant to. None of that ruins the set, but it's a lot of asterisks for the money.

Who it's for

So who ends up loving this one? If you're a Lamborghini fan who wants a good-looking model that also drives around, or a younger builder (it's rated 10+) who'll get a genuine kick out of controlling a real car from a phone, this is an easy yes and worth waiting for the roughly 20 percent discount that shows up regularly. If you build Technic specifically for the mechanical puzzle, the differentials and the gearboxes, you'll finish this and feel like something was missing, and I wouldn't blame you. Brickset's community sits it at 3.8 out of 5, and honestly that feels about right. It's a very good display-and-play car with a real caveat stapled to the price tag. Go in wanting the Lambo, not the engineering, and you'll be glad you did.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

The build itself is smooth and confident rather than challenging. The instructions are clear and logical, and a big chunk of your time goes into seating the Powered Up hub and the rechargeable battery, then routing the motors and the light cables through the chassis before you panel over everything. There's satisfying moments as the wedge shape comes together and the body panels lock the silhouette into place, but you're assembling a good-looking shell around electronics more than you're engineering a mechanism. Nobody will get stuck, which is lovely for a younger builder and slightly flat if you wanted a fight.

On the parts front there's real value hiding in the box even if the price per part is high. The whole model is a treasure trove of light bluish gray panel recolors, which makes it a genuinely useful set to raid for other builds. There's a brand new mold too, an Antenna 4 x 2 x 2 with 2 Prongs (part 7574) done in glow-in-the-dark white, which is a fun oddball with real potential for sci-fi and futuristic MOCs. You also get a new length of wide 9L trans-clear fiber optic cable, plus the updated Powered Up hub and battery with pin holes so they actually lock into the frame instead of floating loose. The glow-in-the-dark headlight pieces are the little detail that makes people smile when the lights go off.

Fun facts

01The real Revuelto is Lamborghini's first plug-in hybrid, pairing a new 6.5-liter V12 with three electric motors for a combined 1,015 horsepower and a 0-100 km/h time of just 2.5 seconds.
02True to Lamborghini tradition, Revuelto is named after a fighting bull, one that fought in Barcelona in 1880, and the word itself means chaos or disorder in Spanish.
03LEGO gave the model glow-in-the-dark headlight pieces, so the car keeps a bit of its face even after you switch the app lights off.
04The set introduced a brand new element, an Antenna 4 x 2 x 2 with 2 Prongs (part 7574), which debuted here in glow-in-the-dark white.
