Lamborghini used Monterey Car Week to reveal the most powerful and fastest production car it has ever built. The Revuelto SV, unveiled at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, takes the brand’s flagship hybrid supercar and pushes it further in every direction that matters to the SV name: more power, less weight, sharper aerodynamics, and a level of exclusivity reserved for Lamborghini’s most dedicated collectors.
A badge with 55 years of history
SV stands for Super Veloce — “super fast” in Italian — and it’s a name Lamborghini doesn’t hand out casually. The lineage started with the Miura SV in 1971 and continued through the Diablo SV in 1995, the Murciélago LP 670-4 Super Veloce in 2009, and the Aventador SV in 2015. The Revuelto SV becomes the fifth car ever to wear the badge, and the first to combine it with Lamborghini’s current hybrid V12 architecture.
That architecture starts with the standard Revuelto, itself a significant technological shift for the brand when it replaced the Aventador atop Lamborghini’s lineup: a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 paired with three electric motors and a plug-in hybrid system, producing roughly 1,001 horsepower and a 0-to-100-kph time of 2.5 seconds. Lamborghini’s engineers evidently decided that wasn’t enough.
More power, more downforce, less time to 100
The Revuelto SV takes the same V12-plus-three-motor formula and adds an upgraded hybrid system and a new high-performance battery, pushing combined output to more than 1,050 horsepower and roughly 1,425 Nm (about 1,051 lb-ft) of torque — a meaningful jump over its already extreme predecessor. The result is a 0-to-100-kph (62-mph) sprint of 2.4 seconds, 0-to-200-kph in 6.7 seconds, and a top speed north of 345 km/h (214 mph).
The numbers don’t stop at the drivetrain. Lamborghini reworked the car’s aerodynamics for roughly 80 percent more downforce than the standard Revuelto, along with a retuned chassis, new adjustable passive dampers, CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes, and a new Pilota driving mode built for track use. Bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Race R tires round out the package. The result of all that work showed up on the stopwatch: Lamborghini factory driver Marco Mapelli set a 1:41.6 lap at the Hockenheimring, making the Revuelto SV the fastest production car ever recorded on that circuit.
Built for the brand’s most loyal buyers
Production is capped at exactly 1,963 units — a direct nod to the year Automobili Lamborghini was founded — and the car is being positioned specifically for the brand’s most committed collectors rather than general order books. With deliveries expected in 2027, most people who encounter the Revuelto SV over the next year will do so through a screen rather than a windshield.
Pricing starts at $741,172, and Lamborghini’s SV models have historically commanded strong premiums on the secondary market once initial allocations sell through, a pattern collectors will be watching closely given how limited this run is.
The pitch: performance without losing the theater
Speaking to CNBC, Revuelto product line director Alessandro Farmeschi framed the SV as an answer to customers who wanted to push further than the standard car allows. “The Revuelto SV gives our customers the opportunity to go beyond in terms of performance,” Farmeschi said, adding that the goal was something more race-oriented while preserving the adrenaline and enjoyment core to the Lamborghini experience. He was explicit that raw numbers alone aren’t the point: “When our clients choose a Lamborghini, they choose us because of the design, together with the technology applied,” he said, pointing to engine sound as a crucial part of that equation even in a car with three electric motors bolted to it.
Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann struck a similar note, saying every element of the car was developed to make the driving experience more intense, direct and engaging — language that reflects the balancing act Lamborghini is trying to pull off across its whole lineup: adding electrification without losing the visceral character that separates a Lamborghini from any other hypercar on the road.
Part of a broader hybrid transition
The Revuelto SV arrives as Lamborghini continues its shift toward electrification across its range, a transition the standard Revuelto kicked off when it replaced the purely combustion-powered Aventador. Rather than treating hybrid power as a compromise, Lamborghini is using it to push output and lap times beyond what its V12-only cars could achieve — a strategy that, if the Revuelto SV’s numbers hold up, suggests electrification isn’t slowing this brand down so much as giving it a new ceiling to chase.
