Lamborghini Revuelto Map 4 ‘Flames’: The Upgraded Afterfire Is Finished — Rolling Flames and a Standing Rev on Video
June: we unlocked the first Lamborghini Revuelto and gave its naturally aspirated V12 the pops and bangs the factory holds back. August: we turned the afterfire up and built a world first — four sound maps the driver switches from the seat. This is chapter three, and it’s the one people have been asking us for since the first video.
Map 4 — the afterfire slot — is finished. Not “improved”. Finished, as a dedicated Flames calibration: the wildest afterfire we have put on a Revuelto, rolling and standing still, with the four-map switch now available to owners.
The upgraded Flames calibration on the overrun. This car runs the SFIDA exhaust system:
Every lift of the throttle, a long sheet of flame out of a hybrid V12 that from the factory isn’t allowed to make a single pop. If you’re new to what afterfire actually is and how we approach it, start with our cornerstone guide: Pops & Bangs / Afterfire explained.
Standing Still: The Rev Everyone Asks For
A rolling flame looks great from a chase car. But the moment that sells a Revuelto owner — the one that gets filmed at every meet — is the standing rev. Neutral, brake on, a stab of throttle, and fire out of the tips while the car hasn’t moved an inch.
Here’s the Flames map doing exactly that — a different car this time, a red Revuelto on a jobdesign exhaust, up on the lift with nothing but a right foot on the pedal:
This is also the hardest part to get right. At a standstill a Revuelto would much rather stay quiet — the hybrid logic, the standing rev behavior and the overrun strategy all have to agree with each other before the V12 will do this cleanly and repeatably. Getting Map 4 to behave like this every time — not just on a good day — is what the weeks between the August video and this one were spent on.
What Map 4 ‘Flames’ Actually Is
On the four-map Revuelto the driver cycles through positions using the cruise control lever at a standstill, and the tachometer needle shows which one is live. The line-up is now:
- Map 1 — Normal. Factory-calm. Nothing to wake the neighbors.
- Map 2 — Burble. A rich crackle and burble on the overrun.
- Map 3 — Bomb Burble. Heavier, harder detonations between shifts.
- Map 4 — Flames. The full afterfire calibration in the videos above — long flame on the overrun and a standing rev that lights up.
Map 4 is not the August afterfire with the numbers turned up. It is a complete calibration set of its own — ignition, fueling and overrun behavior developed for flame first, then re-integrated with the Revuelto’s hybrid coordination so that switching in and out of it leaves the rest of the powertrain exactly as it was. That last part is why this took as long as it did, and why we’re not going to describe the method beyond that. As always, the how stays in-house.
How the switching itself works — brake pedal, cruise lever, tachometer sweep — is covered in detail in the August article.
The Exhaust: SFIDA Exhaust System
The black Revuelto in the rolling footage is fitted with SFIDA’s own exhaust system. SFIDA is our official dealer and has been our partner on the Revuelto since the very first unlock — they supplied the development cars, handled the vehicles, and build exhausts for this platform.
To be clear about what does what: the flame is made by the calibration, not by the pipe. The standing-rev car above is on a jobdesign exhaust, the rolling car on SFIDA’s, and the Flames map goes onto cars with the factory exhaust as well. What the exhaust changes is the voice — volume, tone, how sharp the bark is on the lift — and, frankly, how the fire looks coming out of the tips.
Five Revueltos In
By now five Revueltos have passed through this project: the bronze June unlock car, the Maziora color-shifting car that carried most of the map-switch and Flames development, the first yellow-and-purple customer car, the black car on SFIDA’s exhaust in the rolling video, and the red car on a jobdesign exhaust doing the standing rev. Every one of them has added data, and Map 4 is the result of all of it.
That matters for the next owner. The unlock is proven. The four-map switch is proven. The Flames calibration is finished. What used to be an all-nighter with no reference material is now a defined package we know how to deliver on this platform.
FAQ
What changed between the August afterfire and this ‘Flames’ version?
The August calibration was already far more violent than the June original. Since then, Map 4 — the afterfire slot in the four-map switch — has been finalized as a dedicated Flames calibration: longer, harder flame on the overrun and a proper standing rev. Cars with the August calibration can be updated.
Do I need an aftermarket exhaust to get flames?
No. Afterfire is produced by the calibration, not the exhaust. The rolling-video car runs SFIDA’s exhaust system and the standing-rev car a jobdesign exhaust; each shapes the volume and tone. On the factory exhaust the flame is still there, the voice is simply more restrained.
Is the four-map switch included, or is it separate?
They are separate items. The Flames afterfire is a stand-alone calibration, quoted per vehicle. The driver-selectable four-map switch (Normal / Burble / Bomb Burble / Flames) is an additional option on top of it.
Can this be done on my Revuelto outside Japan?
The Revuelto ECU is locked from the factory and the unlock is done in-house at mbFAST, so it is not a plug-in remote flash in the way an Aventador is. Get in touch with your location and we’ll tell you the realistic route — through one of our partners, or a direct project with us.
Is it reversible?
Fully. The car can go back to the stock calibration at any time.
Is this street legal?
Regulations differ by country and region. Loud afterfire calibrations are intended for closed-course and off-street use — check your local regulations.
For Revuelto Owners
The Flames afterfire is a stand-alone calibration, quoted per vehicle; the four-map switch is an option on top of it. If we already did the June or August calibration on your car, the unlock is behind you and this is an update. Model-specific details are on the Lamborghini Revuelto tuning page; for anything else, get in touch below with your location and what you want the car to do.
For Tuning Shops and Partners
A Revuelto with a finished Flames map and a driver-selectable switch is the kind of car that defines a workshop in its market. mbFAST develops the calibrations in-house and supplies unlock capability and data to partner workshops on a per-car basis, so your shop can offer work like this under your own brand with our data behind you.
