Lamborghini has taken its V12 supercar philosophy to another level with the new Revuelto SV, an extreme-performance evolution of the company’s flagship plug-in hybrid supercar. With 1,065 CV, 1,425 Nm of system torque, a 0–100 km/h time of just 2.4 seconds and a top speed exceeding 345 km/h, the Lamborghini Revuelto SV is the most powerful and fastest production car ever built at the marque’s Sant’Agata Bolognese factory.
The new Lamborghini Revuelto SV also marks the latest chapter in one of the most recognizable performance badges in automotive history. SV, or Super Veloce, has been used by Lamborghini for 55 years, beginning with the legendary Miura SV.
This time, however, the formula has changed dramatically. The Revuelto SV combines Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated V12 with three electric motors, extensive carbon-fiber construction, racing-derived suspension and brakes, bespoke Bridgestone tires, and a heavily revised aerodynamic package.
Only 1,963 examples will be produced, a number chosen as a tribute to 1963, the year Automobili Lamborghini was founded.
Lamborghini Revuelto SV: More Than Just a More Powerful Revuelto
The standard Revuelto already represented a major turning point for Lamborghini. It was the company’s first V12 high-performance electrified vehicle, combining a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine with three electric motors and a lithium-ion battery.
The Revuelto SV takes that architecture and pushes virtually every component further.
Total system output rises to 1,065 CV (783 kW), an increase of 50 CV over the regular Revuelto. Maximum system torque reaches 1,425 Nm, while the car’s power-to-weight ratio drops to an extraordinary 1.66 kg per CV.
The result is performance that moves the Revuelto SV into a different category.
The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds and reaches 200 km/h in only 6.7 seconds. Top speed exceeds 345 km/h.
Those numbers make the Revuelto SV the most powerful and fastest production Lamborghini ever produced in Sant’Agata Bolognese.
But Lamborghini insists that the SV isn’t simply about adding horsepower. The objective was to transform the driving experience through a combination of power, aerodynamics, weight reduction, braking performance and vehicle dynamics.
A Naturally Aspirated V12 Still at the Center
Despite the hybrid technology surrounding it, the heart of the Lamborghini Revuelto SV remains a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12.
The combustion engine produces 825 CV at 9,250 rpm and continues to rev all the way to 9,500 rpm. That high-revving character remains one of the defining elements of Lamborghini’s V12 identity.
The engine works alongside three electric motors. Two axial-flux electric motors are positioned at the front, while a radial-flux motor is mounted above the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission located transversely behind the V12.
Power comes from a revised 7.3-kWh lithium-ion battery capable of delivering up to 190 kW.
Rather than simply acting as an efficiency device, the hybrid system becomes an important part of the Revuelto SV’s performance character. Electric torque vectoring allows Lamborghini to distribute torque between the front wheels with extreme precision.
The result is quicker turn-in, improved traction on corner exit and greater stability when accelerating out of a bend.
Lamborghini’s engineers have also improved performance consistency. The new battery system is claimed to provide up to four times greater performance consistency than the standard Revuelto, allowing the SV to sustain its performance during repeated hard laps.
The Revuelto SV’s “Quantum of Driving”
Lamborghini describes the Revuelto SV’s philosophy using an unusual phrase: “The Quantum of Driving.”
The idea is that the SV does not simply offer more performance on a linear scale. Instead, Lamborghini wants the driver to experience a change in character as the car approaches its limits.
That philosophy explains why the engineers concentrated so heavily on chassis development.
The Revuelto SV is intended to feel more immediate, more predictable and more connected than the standard car, particularly on a racetrack.
And the numbers support that ambition.
Lamborghini claims a 17 percent improvement in agility and a 10 percent increase in lateral grip compared with the Revuelto.
Lamborghini Revuelto SV Aerodynamics: 80 Percent More Downforce
One of the most significant changes is the aerodynamic package.
The Lamborghini Revuelto SV generates 80 percent more total downforce than the standard Revuelto and 10 percent more than the previous Aventador SVJ. At the same time, aerodynamic efficiency has improved, with a 60 percent increase in downforce-to-drag efficiency compared with the Revuelto.
The front end features a revised splitter and underbody designed to improve airflow management.
An angled fin incorporated into the front bumper helps seal the wheel arches while directing air toward the side cooling systems. Lamborghini says the changes also improve brake cooling by 12 percent.
The aerodynamic balance has been shifted forward to provide a more stable and responsive front end during high-speed cornering.
At the rear, the fixed wing is one of the most obvious visual differences.
Its motorsport-inspired double-wing configuration increases downforce while contributing to cooling performance. The central section uses a relatively low angle of attack to maintain aerodynamic efficiency.
A Gurney flap further modifies airflow over the rear section, increasing rear downforce and improving airflow extraction from the radiator area.
The result is a car designed to generate meaningful aerodynamic grip without turning every high-speed straight into a battle against drag.
Carbon Fiber Is Everywhere
Weight reduction is another central part of the SV formula.
Lamborghini has increased its use of visible carbon fiber across the exterior and interior, with up to 25 exterior components available in exposed carbon fiber.
A new matte carbon-fiber door panel is fitted as standard and contributes to the car’s weight-saving strategy.
The lightweight philosophy continues inside. Carbon-fiber door panels, racing-inspired seats and additional carbon components give the cabin a distinctly motorsport character.
Customers can choose standard Sport Seats with carbon-shell construction or optional monocoque carbon-fiber Race Seats designed to provide additional lateral support while reducing weight.
The result is an interior that looks considerably closer to a competition car than the cabin of a conventional grand tourer.
A Lamborghini Interior Designed Around the Driver
The Revuelto SV follows Lamborghini’s “Feel Like a Pilot” philosophy.
The dashboard remains focused on the driver, while the steering wheel receives a control layout inspired by motorsport.
One of the most obvious changes is the new red Pilota Mode selector positioned on the right side of the steering wheel.
The familiar ANIMA rotary controller, which governs the car’s driving dynamics, also receives a red finish.
The cabin can be extensively personalized through Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program, including multiple leather combinations, contrasting colors and extensive use of carbon fiber.
Corsa-Tex by Dinamica is available in Nero Cosmus, while a new racing bucket seat combines Corsa-Tex and leather.
The Revuelto SV also receives unique graphics and animations within its digital interface. Opening the door triggers a dedicated SV animation, reinforcing the impression that this is something considerably more special than a standard Revuelto.
Pilota Mode Turns the Revuelto SV Into a Track Weapon
Lamborghini has introduced a new Pilota driving mode specifically for the Revuelto SV.
Activated through the dedicated steering-wheel control, Pilota mode introduces a five-stage traction-control system derived from Lamborghini’s GT3 racing experience.
The system is designed to account for changing track conditions and tire wear while maintaining a high degree of driver control.
This means the Revuelto SV can be adapted to different levels of grip rather than simply switching between conventional road and track settings.
Strada remains the most relaxed mode, giving the car a more civilized character for everyday driving.
Sport sharpens throttle response and vehicle dynamics.
Corsa is designed for the racetrack, reducing electronic intervention while maximizing performance.
Pilota goes a step further, giving experienced drivers greater freedom to exploit the car’s capabilities.
GT3-Inspired Suspension With Manually Adjustable Dampers
The suspension system has been comprehensively revised.
The Revuelto SV uses manually adjustable passive dampers derived from GT3 racing technology. Instead of relying exclusively on electronically controlled damping, Lamborghini has focused on delivering a more direct and predictable mechanical connection between the car and the driver.
The suspension kinematics have also been optimized to make better use of the dampers.
Lamborghini has developed recommended setups for different track conditions, including flat, bumpy and wet circuits.
The philosophy is simple: give the driver more information about what the tires and chassis are doing.
That becomes particularly important in a car capable of exceeding 345 km/h.
Lamborghini Revuelto SV Brakes Can Stop From 200 km/h in 110 Meters
With this level of acceleration and top speed, braking performance becomes just as important as engine power.
For the Revuelto SV, Lamborghini introduces its latest CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic braking system.
The front discs measure 420 x 40 mm, while the rear discs measure 410 x 32 mm.
The technology is derived from motorsport and incorporates a 3D carbon structure, specialized ventilation and a dedicated friction layer.
Lamborghini claims the Revuelto SV can brake from 200 km/h to a standstill in just 110 meters.
Compared with the standard Revuelto, the SV achieves an 11 percent improvement in peak deceleration, a 23 percent increase in heat dissipation and a 12 percent reduction in brake-disc temperature.
The brakes are also designed to maintain consistent performance during repeated track sessions rather than simply delivering a strong single stop.
A New 6D Sensor Helps Control the Car
Behind the Revuelto SV’s braking and vehicle dynamics is an extensive electronic control architecture.
A new six-dimensional sensor is positioned close to the car’s center of gravity. It continuously measures acceleration along the lateral, longitudinal and vertical axes, while also monitoring pitch, roll and yaw.
This information feeds Lamborghini’s Integrated Vehicle Estimator, or IVE.
Using predictive algorithms and Kalman filtering, the system estimates parameters including vehicle speed, sideslip angle and the instantaneous friction coefficient between the tires and road.
That information is then used by systems such as the Integrated Brake Controller.
According to Lamborghini, the technology can reduce braking distances by up to 10 percent while improving stability during braking and cornering.
It is particularly useful in situations common on a racetrack, including braking while turning or crossing curbs.
Bridgestone Potenza Race R Tires Were Developed for the Revuelto SV
The tires are another crucial component of the Revuelto SV’s performance package.
Lamborghini’s technical partnership with Bridgestone has produced a bespoke range of tires specifically developed for the hybrid V12 supercar.
The most aggressive option is the new Bridgestone Potenza Race R semi-slick.
It is street legal but designed primarily for track performance, combining a motorsport-derived compound with an aggressive tread pattern intended to deliver high levels of dry grip.
Bridgestone says the tire is designed to warm up quickly and maintain consistent performance throughout a track session.
For road use, the Revuelto SV can be equipped with bespoke Potenza Sport tires, including an option featuring Run Flat Technology.
A dedicated Blizzak LM005 winter tire is also available for owners who want to use the car in colder conditions.
All four tire sizes carry the Lamborghini logo and are available in the car’s 20- and 21-inch dimensions.
Bridgestone also used its Virtual Tyre Development technology during development, reducing the amount of physical material and testing required.
New Dromos Wheels and Lamborghini’s First Production Monolock
The Revuelto SV receives a new set of lightweight forged wheels called Dromos.
They measure 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear and feature a technical hexagonal spoke design.
The wheels are designed to reduce unsprung mass, helping the suspension respond more quickly.
The Revuelto SV also becomes the first series-production Lamborghini to use the company’s redesigned Monolocker central-locking system.
A center-lock wheel may look like a small detail, but on a car with clear motorsport ambitions it is an important visual and technical statement.
Customers can choose from multiple wheel finishes and center-lock colors, allowing the wheels, brake calipers and exterior specification to be coordinated.
Lamborghini Ad Personam Takes Customization to Another Level
The Revuelto SV will be offered with extensive personalization through Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program.
Customers can select from four dedicated SV logo configurations and four exclusive liveries developed specifically for the model.
The exposed-carbon options are equally extensive, with up to 25 exterior components available in visible carbon fiber.
Even details such as the Lamborghini lettering at the rear can be specified in Shiny Black, Matte Black or Matte Bronze rather than the standard finish.
The result is that two Revuelto SV models can have dramatically different visual identities despite sharing the same mechanical foundation.
That degree of personalization is particularly important given the car’s limited production run.
Lamborghini Revuelto SV Sets Hockenheim Lap Record
Perhaps the clearest demonstration of the Revuelto SV’s capabilities came at Germany’s Hockenheimring.
Lamborghini factory driver Marco Mapelli recorded a lap time of 1:41.6.
According to Lamborghini, that makes the Revuelto SV the fastest production car ever recorded at Hockenheim.
The circuit is a demanding test of a performance car because it combines high-speed sections with heavy braking zones and technical corners.
That makes the lap particularly significant for a car like the Revuelto SV, where Lamborghini has attempted to balance extreme straight-line performance with genuine circuit capability.
The 1:41.6 lap therefore provides a useful illustration of what the additional downforce, revised suspension, improved brakes, torque vectoring and bespoke tires are designed to achieve.
Lamborghini Revuelto SV vs. Revuelto: What’s Different?
The easiest way to understand the Revuelto SV is to look at how comprehensively Lamborghini has changed the car.
The standard Revuelto already produces 1,015 CV. The SV increases that figure to 1,065 CV.
But the additional 50 CV tells only part of the story.
The SV adds:
- 80 percent more total downforce than the Revuelto
- 60 percent greater downforce-to-drag efficiency
- 17 percent greater agility
- 10 percent more lateral grip
- 11 percent greater peak braking deceleration
- 23 percent greater brake heat dissipation
- 12 percent lower brake-disc temperatures
- GT3-derived adjustable passive dampers
- CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes
- Bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Race R tires
- A dedicated Pilota driving mode
- Lightweight Dromos wheels
- A redesigned Monolocker center-lock system
- Increased use of carbon fiber
- A more performance-focused interior
In other words, the Revuelto SV is not simply a higher-output version of the Revuelto.
It is a comprehensive chassis, aerodynamic and performance upgrade.
1,963 Lamborghini Revuelto SV Examples Will Be Built
Exclusivity is an essential part of the Super Veloce formula.
Lamborghini will produce just 1,963 Revuelto SV examples worldwide, commemorating the year the company was founded.
That makes the car not only a technical flagship but also a collector’s item.
The limited production run is particularly significant because the Revuelto itself represents the beginning of a new era for Lamborghini’s V12 models.
The SV therefore sits at the intersection of traditional Lamborghini characteristics—naturally aspirated V12 power, dramatic design and extreme performance—and the company’s increasingly electrified future.
The Lamborghini V12 Super Veloce Legacy Continues
The significance of the Revuelto SV goes beyond its specifications.
The Super Veloce badge has a long history within Lamborghini, beginning with the Miura SV 55 years ago.
It subsequently became associated with some of the company’s most extreme road cars, including the Diablo SV, Murciélago SV and Aventador SV and SVJ.
The Revuelto SV continues that tradition in an era when hybridization is becoming an integral part of high-performance engineering.
Instead of treating electrification as a compromise, Lamborghini uses the electric motors to make the V12 faster, more responsive and more controllable.
The result is an unusual combination: an engine that still screams toward 9,500 rpm, backed by instantaneous electric torque and sophisticated torque-vectoring technology.
Lamborghini Revuelto SV: The Ultimate V12 Hybrid Supercar?
The Lamborghini Revuelto SV represents a fascinating contradiction.
It is a modern hybrid supercar packed with sensors, electric motors, predictive algorithms and advanced carbon-ceramic technology. Yet its emotional center remains a naturally aspirated V12 capable of revving to 9,500 rpm.
With 1,065 CV, 1,425 Nm, a 2.4-second 0–100 km/h time and a top speed beyond 345 km/h, the performance figures are spectacular.
But the more important achievement may be the way Lamborghini has combined those figures with significantly greater aerodynamic efficiency, increased grip, improved braking performance and a more focused chassis.
The Hockenheim lap time of 1:41.6 suggests the changes are more than cosmetic.
The Revuelto SV is Lamborghini’s interpretation of what a modern Super Veloce should be: brutally fast, technically sophisticated and uncompromising on a racetrack, while retaining enough character to remain unmistakably a Lamborghini.
Only 1,963 examples will be built, making it one of the most exclusive V12 Lamborghinis of the modern era.
For enthusiasts who believe the naturally aspirated V12 still represents the ultimate expression of the supercar, the Revuelto SV may be one of the most significant Lamborghini models of this generation.
And with the SV badge once again attached to a V12 flagship, Lamborghini has made its intentions clear: the Super Veloce era is far from over.
