Lamborghini Revuelto

1,015 hp. That is the largest number in our catalogue after the Chiron, and honesty about where you can use it is the least we owe you. The whole Principality of Monaco is limited to 50 km/h, 30 in places, over a territory you can cross on foot. In Monaco, a Revuelto is an arrival — and an arrival is a perfectly good reason to take one; we will arrange it without a word of commentary. But the hour that justifies this card happens in France, on the Grande Corniche, the D2564 over La Turbie at 512 m, where the road finally asks the car a question. One Monaco detail settled before delivery rather than at the barrier: under article 9 of the municipal order of 2007, Monaco-Ville is closed to any vehicle not registered in the Principality or the Alpes-Maritimes — so whether your Revuelto drives up the Rock depends on its plate, and we confirm the plate of the specific car with the operator.

The card reads two seats, one bag, and both figures mean it. This is not a touring car and it does not pretend to be one; a week's luggage travels separately, and we put the transfer on the same rental request so the arithmetic is solved before you land — whether the keys are handed over in Monaco, in Nice or at a villa above Saint-Tropez.

One French regulation works quietly in your favour. Décret 94-447 of 27 May 1994 only permits speed humps inside built-up areas on sections limited to 30 km/h, and its annexe bans them on roads carrying real traffic, on gradients over 4 per cent and in tight bends — which is to say: the corniches are clear, and the hazard lives in the last three hundred metres of residential lane before a villa gate. That is exactly where we position the handover with care, at surface level, on ground the operator has approved for this specific car. The main road is the easy part.
