Monterey, California: Lamborghini has unveiled the Revuelto Super Veloce (SV) during Monterey Car Week, bringing a more powerful and track-focused version of its V12 plug-in hybrid flagship. The limited-production supercar combines a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 with three electric motors to deliver a claimed 1,065 hp, while extensive chassis, braking and aerodynamic upgrades are aimed at making it significantly sharper on a race track.
Only 1,963 units of the Revuelto SV are planned, with the number paying tribute to Lamborghini’s founding year, 1963. The model is primarily being offered to loyal customers and collectors, making it a particularly exclusive addition to the Revuelto family.
Revuelto SV gets more power from its hybrid system
At the heart of the Revuelto SV is Lamborghini’s 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12. The engine continues to produce 825 hp and revs up to 9,500 rpm.
The three electric motors have, however, been upgraded. Their combined output rises from 190 hp in the standard Revuelto to 299 hp in the SV. As a result, total system output climbs to 1,065 hp, around 50 hp more than the regular model. (NDTV)
The car retains an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive system.
The additional power is accompanied by improvements designed to make the car perform more consistently during demanding track driving.
0-100 kmph comes in just 2.4 seconds
Lamborghini claims the Revuelto SV can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 2.4 seconds and reach 200 kmph in 6.7 seconds.
Its top speed remains above 345 kmph, putting it firmly among the fastest production cars on the road.
Weight-saving measures also improve its power-to-weight ratio. The SV achieves a claimed 602.4 hp per tonne, compared with 571.4 hp per tonne for the standard Revuelto.
The performance upgrades are not limited to straight-line acceleration. Lamborghini has focused heavily on cornering, braking and aerodynamic performance to give the SV a stronger track character.
New Pilota mode brings motorsport technology
One of the biggest additions is the new Pilota drive mode.
Designed specifically for circuit driving, the mode works with a bespoke five-stage traction-control system. The system can adapt to factors including track conditions and tyre wear, giving drivers greater control over the car’s behaviour during high-performance driving.
This makes the SV different from a conventional high-powered road car. Instead of simply increasing engine output, Lamborghini has attempted to create a more complete track-focused package.
GT3-inspired dampers improve agility
The suspension has also received substantial attention.
The Revuelto SV features manually adjustable dampers derived from GT3 racing technology. Lamborghini says the changes result in a 17 per cent improvement in agility and a 10 per cent increase in lateral grip compared with the standard Revuelto.
The suspension setup is intended to provide drivers with greater precision when pushing the car through corners.
For a vehicle with more than 1,000 hp, managing that power effectively is just as important as producing it. The SV’s chassis upgrades are therefore central to its identity.
Bigger carbon-ceramic brakes
Lamborghini has also upgraded the braking system.
The Revuelto SV receives new CCM-R carbon-ceramic brake discs, measuring 420 mm at the front and 410 mm at the rear.
The manufacturer claims the new setup provides an 11 per cent increase in peak deceleration, while heat dissipation improves by 23 per cent. Brake disc temperatures are also claimed to be reduced by 12 per cent.
These changes are particularly important for repeated hard braking on a circuit, where maintaining consistent braking performance can be critical.
Revuelto SV sets Hockenheimring lap time
The upgrades appear to have translated into measurable track performance.
Lamborghini says the Revuelto SV completed Germany’s Hockenheimring in 1 minute 41.6 seconds.
According to the company, that makes it the second-fastest officially recorded lap by a production car at the circuit.
The result highlights the extent to which Lamborghini has pushed the SV beyond the standard Revuelto.
Aggressive aerodynamic makeover
The exterior design has been modified to reflect the car’s performance-focused character.
At the front, the SV receives a new diffuser with red accents, while the rear gets a redesigned diffuser and a large fixed rear wing.
The aerodynamic changes are accompanied by extensive use of carbon-fibre components, exclusive SV badging and special liveries.
The fixed rear wing gives the car a considerably more aggressive appearance than the standard Revuelto while also contributing to its track-focused aerodynamic package.
Lightweight wheels and performance tyres
The Revuelto SV rides on lightweight centre-lock alloy wheels.
The wheels measure 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear and are fitted with bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Race R tyres.
The combination of lightweight wheels and high-performance tyres is intended to improve grip and response while supporting the car’s more aggressive chassis setup.
Centre-lock wheels also reinforce the motorsport-inspired character of the SV.
Interior remains familiar but gets racing touches
The cabin layout remains largely similar to the standard Revuelto, but Lamborghini has added several details to distinguish the SV.
The supercar gets new racing bucket seats, SV-specific badging and a wider range of upholstery and colour combinations.
Carbon-fibre elements and performance-oriented details contribute to the more focused character of the cabin without abandoning the luxury expected from Lamborghini’s flagship models.
The result is a car that remains recognisably a Revuelto while adopting a more competition-inspired personality.
Limited production makes it a collector’s car
Lamborghini plans to build only 1,963 Revuelto SV units.
The production figure is a direct reference to 1963, the year Lamborghini was founded. The limited run also means the car is positioned as a collector-focused model rather than a high-volume performance variant.
The manufacturer is primarily offering the SV to its most loyal customers and collectors.
That exclusivity is likely to make the model particularly attractive to Lamborghini enthusiasts who already own cars from the brand’s limited-production SV lineage.
Revuelto continues Lamborghini’s V12 legacy
The Revuelto is particularly significant for Lamborghini because it represents the brand’s modern approach to its iconic V12 formula.
The standard Revuelto combines its naturally aspirated V12 with three electric motors and a dual-clutch transmission. Lamborghini describes it as its first high-performance electrified vehicle using this hybrid configuration.
The SV takes that concept further by using electrification not merely to improve efficiency but also to enhance performance.
The result is a supercar that combines the character of a naturally aspirated V12 with the instant response and torque-management capabilities offered by electric motors.
More than just a power upgrade
The most significant aspect of the Revuelto SV is that Lamborghini has not treated it as a simple horsepower upgrade.
The additional 50 hp is accompanied by changes to the suspension, brakes, tyres, aerodynamics and electronic systems.
The company has also introduced the Pilota mode specifically for track use, while the GT3-derived dampers and revised braking system are designed to withstand the demands of repeated high-speed driving.
That combination gives the SV a considerably different mission from the standard Revuelto.
Lamborghini Revuelto SV vs standard Revuelto
The key differences include:
| Feature | Revuelto SV | Standard Revuelto |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 | 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 |
| Total power | 1,065 hp | Around 1,015 hp |
| 0-100 kmph | 2.4 seconds | Around 2.5 seconds |
| Top speed | Above 345 kmph | Above 350 kmph |
| Drive | All-wheel drive | All-wheel drive |
| Transmission | 8-speed dual-clutch | 8-speed dual-clutch |
| Production | 1,963 units planned | Regular production |
| Focus | Track performance | Road and performance |
The SV therefore sits at the extreme end of the Revuelto range, prioritising track capability and exclusivity.
A new chapter for the Super Veloce badge
The Revuelto SV also revives one of Lamborghini’s most recognisable performance designations.
The Super Veloce, or SV, name has historically been associated with more aggressive versions of Lamborghini’s flagship cars. Earlier V12 models such as the Miura and Aventador carried the badge, with the SV versions gaining greater power, lower weight and more aggressive aerodynamic and chassis setups.
The Revuelto SV continues that tradition while adapting it to Lamborghini’s hybrid era.
Conclusion
The Lamborghini Revuelto SV takes the brand’s V12 hybrid flagship to a new level with 1,065 hp, a claimed 0-100 kmph time of 2.4 seconds and a top speed exceeding 345 kmph. But its biggest changes lie beyond the power figure, with GT3-inspired dampers, upgraded carbon-ceramic brakes, performance tyres, new aerodynamics and a dedicated Pilota driving mode.
With only 1,963 units planned, the Revuelto SV is also designed to be an exclusive collector’s model. Its 1:41.6 Hockenheimring lap time further underlines Lamborghini’s effort to make the car a serious track performer rather than simply a more powerful road-going supercar.
The Revuelto SV ultimately represents Lamborghini’s interpretation of the modern Super Veloce: keeping the emotional appeal of a naturally aspirated V12 while using hybrid technology, advanced electronics and motorsport-inspired engineering to push performance further.
