Lamborghini’s Revuelto SV is now the brand’s most powerful production car, with 1,050 horsepower—49 more than the standard Revuelto. Unlike previous Super Veloce models, the extra output doesn’t come from engine tweaks. The 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 remains unchanged at 814 horsepower. Instead, three electric motors draw power from a larger 7.3kWh battery, delivering the additional 49 horsepower.
The performance gains are subtle but measurable. The Revuelto SV accelerates from 0-62 mph in 2.4 seconds, a 0.1-second improvement over the base model. Top speed drops slightly to over 214 mph, down from the standard car’s 217 mph, though the difference is negligible at such velocities. The real focus is on track performance, where aerodynamic upgrades make the biggest difference.
A reworked front splitter and underbody, along with a sizeable new rear wing, generate 80% more downforce than the standard car. The entire aero balance has been shifted forward to give the SV a pointier front end. A reworked ducting system also improves brake cooling by 12%, supporting the uprated carbon ceramic brakes, which measure 420mm at the front and 410mm at the rear. Lamborghini claims the SV can stop from 124 mph in 360 feet, with an upgraded brake control system to handle heavy deceleration and kerb-hopping.
Chassis refinements include manually adjustable dampers inspired by Lamborghini’s GT3 racing experience. A five-stage traction control system can be unlocked via a new “Pilota” mode, Italian for pilot, adding precision to handling. The SV also debuts centrelock wheels in 20-inch front and 21-inch rear sizes, paired with Revuelto SV-specific Bridgestone tyres, including a Potenza Sport, Potenza Race R, and a Blizzak LM005 winter tyre for extreme conditions.
Inside, carbon fiber dominates, with lightweight door panels, sports seats, and an optional race seat for track use. Personalization runs deep: wheels, interior finishes, and even the SV logo on the haunches can be customized. Production is limited to 1,963 units, matching Lamborghini’s founding year. Price? Well, a regular Revuelto will set you back around £450,000 before any options, so let’s assume at least that for the SV.
Already tested at Hockenheim, where it set a production car lap record, the SV’s track pedigree suggests it could challenge for records on other circuits. The standard Revuelto’s hybrid architecture has already pushed boundaries, but the SV refines it for outright performance. The only question that remains is: just where does the Revuelto go from here?
