Inspired by Lamborghini’s rich heritage and the “Direzione Cor Tauri – Another step forward” transformation process, the Lambotype typefaces embody the extraordinary and the unconventional. Designed by Character Type as part of the Lamborghini brand redesign led by Strichpunkt, this extensive typeface family, ranges from Normal to Ultracompressed and Light to Black. The typeface Lambotype, just as the brand in general, spotlights the extraordinary, the unconventional, breaking the general rules.
Lamborghini Revuelto HMI Details
The Revuelto is the car Lamborghini had to get right. It's the first replacement for the Aventador — which spent over a decade as the company's V12 flagship — and the first Lamborghini to hybridise that sacred twelve-cylinder engine. Get the cockpit wrong and the whole thing falls apart, because this is where you spend your time when you're not staring at it in the garage.
They didn't get it wrong. The Revuelto's interior is built around what Lamborghini calls "Feel Like a Pilot" — a fighter-jet-inspired cockpit where driver and passenger are integrated into a Y-shaped dashboard and centre tunnel, with hexagonal motifs threaded through every surface. It sounds like marketing fluff until you sit in it. The driving position is low, the screens wrap around you, and the steering wheel — derived from the Essenza SCV12 track car — puts every critical function within reach of your thumbs. Reviewers who've driven it note that the ergonomics feel genuinely considered, which isn't always a given in supercars that prioritise drama over daily use.
HMI Features & Specs
The Revuelto's HMI runs across three displays, all managed by a single computing brain running ART SPA's ARTIST8 platform. It's a clean, unified system — same colour palette, same graphic language, same interaction logic across every screen.
The 12.3-inch instrument cluster sits directly ahead of the driver and handles the essentials: speed, revs, gear selection, and navigation. In track mode, it strips back to a no-nonsense racing display. The 8.4-inch central touchscreen manages infotainment, vehicle settings, and connectivity, positioned vertically on the centre stack. And then there's the 9.1-inch passenger display — a dedicated screen that gives your co-driver their own view of vehicle data, navigation, or media. A two-finger swipe lets you flick content between any of the three screens, which sounds gimmicky but is actually useful when you want to hand navigation duties to the passenger.
The graphics themselves are a step change from the Aventador. Full 3D rendering, smooth animations, customisable widgets, and a visual style that leans heavily into Lamborghini's hexagonal design language. It's not subtle, but then nothing about a Revuelto is.
The Steering Wheel — Fighter Jet Meets Race Car
This is where the Revuelto's ergonomic story gets interesting. The wheel is compact (340mm diameter), surprisingly thin-rimmed, and refreshingly close to round — a departure from the chunky, squared-off wheels that have become the supercar default. It's directly inspired by the Essenza SCV12 racing steering wheel, with four pressable rotary encoders positioned on the spokes.
Those four rotors are the key controls: they select driving modes, activate the front axle lift system, and adjust the rear wing angle. Each one clicks with precision and can be pressed inward as a button. The idea is that your hands never leave the wheel for any critical function — turn signals, launch control, wipers, everything is handled by buttons on or around the spokes. Lamborghini positioned these controls so that your thumbs naturally rest over the most-used functions, and in practice it works well.
The paddle shifters sit behind the wheel on fixed stalks — long, aluminium, and satisfyingly mechanical in their action. They're positioned high enough that you won't accidentally brush them mid-corner, but close enough that downshift blips are instinctive.
Where the ergonomics get mixed reviews is the rear-mounted buttons. Some secondary controls sit behind the spoke arms, and without looking you can struggle to find the right one by feel alone. It's a trade-off for keeping the front face of the wheel clean
Centre Tunnel & Physical Controls
The Y-shaped centre tunnel is the structural spine of the interior, clearly dividing driver and passenger zones while housing the central touchscreen, start/stop button, and transmission controls. Lamborghini eliminated most physical buttons in favour of the three screens, but the ones that remain are positioned where your hand naturally falls — the engine start button, hazard lights, and driving mode shortcuts.
The "Y" motif isn't just decorative. It defines the airflow of the interior, the visual hierarchy of the controls, and the physical separation between the driver's cockpit and the passenger's space. Combined with the hexagonal air vents, hexagonal speaker grilles, and hexagonal stitching patterns, it gives the interior a design coherence that the Aventador's cabin never quite achieved.
Ergonomic Philosophy
Lamborghini's approach with the Revuelto is "empowering station" — the cockpit should make the driver feel more capable, not overwhelmed. Simple volumes, symmetry, and a driver-focused layout mean that everything is where you expect it to be. The three-screen setup eliminates the clutter of physical buttons while keeping the most critical functions — drive modes, indicators, launch control — as physical inputs on the wheel.
It's a genuine balance between digital and analogue. The screens handle information density; the physical controls handle muscle-memory tasks. One reviewer from Top Gear noted that "the designers and engineers have considered the ergonomics properly" — which, for a mid-engined supercar, is higher praise than it sounds.
