The Lamborghini Revuelto SV takes the brand’s V12 hybrid supercar formula to its most extreme level yet, delivering 1,065 CV and a claimed top speed of 348 km/h. But the real story is not simply the extra power: Lamborghini has substantially reworked the aerodynamics, suspension, brakes, tyres and electronic systems to make the car more focused on high-performance driving.

Limited to just 1,963 units, the Revuelto SV is also the latest chapter in Lamborghini’s Super Veloce lineage, a tradition that began with the Miura SV more than five decades ago. It is the first SV model in Lamborghini history to combine the Super Veloce philosophy with a hybrid electric V12 powertrain.

What Makes the Lamborghini Revuelto SV Different?

The Revuelto SV is considerably more than a cosmetic performance edition. Lamborghini has targeted the areas that matter most when a supercar is driven hard: aerodynamic stability, braking performance, cornering grip, suspension response and consistency during repeated high-performance use.

The company describes the SV as the most powerful and fastest production Lamborghini built in Sant’Agata Bolognese. Its limited production run also makes it substantially more exclusive than the standard Revuelto.

Key Features

  • 1,065 CV combined hybrid system output
  • 1,425 Nm of maximum system torque
  • 348 km/h claimed top speed
  • 2.4 seconds for 0 to 100 km/h acceleration
  • 6.7 seconds for 0 to 200 km/h
  • Dedicated Pilota driving mode for track use
  • GT3 inspired adjustable passive dampers
  • New CCM R Plus carbon ceramic brakes
  • Bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Race R semi slick tyres
  • 20 inch front and 21 inch rear lightweight wheels
  • Extensive use of visible carbon fibre
  • Carbon shell Sport Seats with optional monocoque carbon Race Seats

The dedicated Pilota mode is particularly significant. Activated through a rotary control on the steering wheel, it introduces a bespoke five-stage traction-control setup derived from Lamborghini’s GT3 racing experience and is designed to give experienced drivers greater control over the car on a circuit.

Lamborghini Revuelto SV Engine and Hybrid Powertrain

At the centre of the Revuelto SV remains Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated 6.5 litre V12. The combustion engine produces 825 CV at 9,250 rpm and can rev to 9,500 rpm, preserving the high-revving character associated with Lamborghini’s flagship V12 models.

Three electric motors work with the V12, supported by an upgraded 7.3 kWh lithium ion battery. Two of the electric motors are positioned at the front, while another electric motor sits above the eight-speed dual clutch gearbox.

  • Engine: 6,498.5cc naturally aspirated V12
  • V12 Power: 825 CV
  • Combined Power: 1,065 CV or 783 kW
  • Maximum System Torque: 1,425 Nm
  • Electric Motors: Three
  • Battery: 7.3 kWh lithium ion
  • Transmission: Eight speed dual clutch
  • Power to Weight: 1.66 kg per CV
  • 0 to 100 km/h: 2.4 seconds
  • 0 to 200 km/h: 6.7 seconds
  • Top Speed: 348 km/h

The electric motors are not simply there to reduce fuel consumption. Lamborghini uses them to provide rapid torque distribution and electric torque vectoring, helping improve traction, turn-in response and corner-exit grip.

The new battery system is also claimed to provide up to four times greater performance consistency than the standard Revuelto during demanding track use. That is an important distinction for a car designed to deliver repeated high-performance laps rather than just one spectacular acceleration run.

Aerodynamics Get a Major Overhaul

Lamborghini has redesigned the Revuelto SV’s aerodynamic package around increased downforce and improved high-speed stability. The front splitter, underbody, cooling channels, rear wing and Gurney flap all contribute to the car’s revised aerodynamic balance.

According to Lamborghini, the Revuelto SV generates 80 percent more total downforce than the standard Revuelto and achieves a 60 percent improvement in downforce-to-drag efficiency. The company also says total downforce is 10 percent higher than the Aventador SVJ.

For a buyer who intends to use the car on a racetrack, these improvements are arguably more significant than the headline horsepower figure. More aerodynamic load can provide greater confidence and stability as speeds increase, particularly through fast corners and heavy braking zones.

New Suspension, Brakes and Tyres

The suspension receives manually adjustable passive dampers derived from GT3 racing technology. Lamborghini says the revised setup delivers 17 percent greater agility and 10 percent more lateral grip compared with the standard Revuelto.

The braking system is equally serious. The Revuelto SV introduces CCM R Plus carbon ceramic brakes, with 420 x 40 mm discs at the front and 410 x 32 mm units at the rear.

  • 200 to 0 km/h braking distance: 110 metres
  • Peak deceleration: 11 percent higher than Revuelto
  • Heat dissipation: 23 percent higher
  • Brake disc temperature: 12 percent lower

A new six-dimensional inertial sensor feeds Lamborghini’s integrated vehicle estimation system, allowing the car to continuously evaluate its movement and adapt braking and vehicle dynamics systems accordingly.

The tyre package has also been developed specifically for the Revuelto SV. Customers can choose Bridgestone Potenza Race R semi slicks for track-focused performance, while Potenza Sport tyres provide a more road-oriented option.

Track Performance

The Revuelto SV has already produced a notable circuit result. Lamborghini factory driver Marco Mapelli recorded a 1:41.6 lap at Germany’s Hockenheimring, which Lamborghini identifies as the fastest production-car lap recorded at the circuit.

Hockenheim is particularly relevant because its layout combines high-speed sections, heavy braking zones and technical corners. That makes the lap time a useful demonstration of the SV’s braking, aerodynamic and chassis development rather than simply its straight-line acceleration.

Price and Production

Lamborghini has confirmed a limited production run of 1,963 Revuelto SV examples. The number pays tribute to 1963, the year Automobili Lamborghini was founded, and the company says the cars are reserved for its most loyal customers and collectors.

The official information does not provide a retail price for the Revuelto SV. Therefore, unofficial price estimates should not be treated as confirmed Lamborghini pricing.

Launch and Availability

The Lamborghini Revuelto SV was introduced in August 2026 during Monterey Car Week in California. With production restricted to 1,963 units and the model aimed at Lamborghini’s loyal customers and collectors, availability is expected to be highly limited.

Lamborghini’s official technical information currently lists fuel consumption and emissions data as being in the type-approval stage. These figures should therefore not be presented as final certified values.

Why the Revuelto SV Matters

For most enthusiasts, the Revuelto SV will remain an aspirational supercar rather than a realistic buying proposition. Its significance is instead technological and strategic: Lamborghini has taken a naturally aspirated V12 hybrid architecture and pushed it toward a substantially more track-focused character.

The hybrid system is being used as a performance enabler, supplying additional power and sophisticated torque distribution while the V12 continues to provide the high-revving character that defines Lamborghini’s flagship range.

What Remains Unknown

Lamborghini has not published final certified fuel-consumption and emissions figures for the Revuelto SV, with those values still in the type-approval process. The official information also does not provide a retail price or a detailed market-by-market customer allocation.

These details will matter to potential owners, but they do not change the fundamental character of the SV: this is a limited-production, performance-focused evolution of the Revuelto rather than a conventional new model.

AkulRide Verdict

The Lamborghini Revuelto SV is a substantial technical evolution of the Revuelto, not simply an appearance package. The 1,065 CV output is extraordinary, but the more interesting engineering lies in the combination of increased downforce, GT3 inspired suspension, advanced braking hardware, bespoke tyres and the new Pilota driving mode.

For collectors, the 1,963 unit production run adds considerable exclusivity. For driving enthusiasts, however, the bigger achievement is Lamborghini’s attempt to preserve the emotional character of a naturally aspirated V12 while using electrification, advanced vehicle control and motorsport-derived hardware to make it significantly more focused.

The Revuelto SV therefore represents an important evolution of Lamborghini’s Super Veloce philosophy: less about simply making an already-fast car faster, and more about turning extreme power into a more precise and repeatable driving experience.
