Lamborghini chose Monterey, California to present its newest V12 Super Veloce, a lineage that began 55 years ago with the first Miura SV. At Lamborghini, SV stands for Super Veloce, the company's own shorthand for an extreme performance variant built around more power, lightweight construction, optimized aerodynamics and a precise chassis setup. This time the car wearing that badge is the Revuelto SV.
Production will run to just 1,963 units, a number chosen as a tribute to the year Automobili Lamborghini was founded, and the car is reserved for the brand's most loyal customers and collectors. Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, described the car as building directly on what came before it: "Revuelto SV takes the potential of Revuelto to an even higher level, building on a car that has already set a new benchmark in terms of performance and driving precision. Every element has been developed to make the experience behind the wheel even more intense, direct and engaging. Exclusivity, technical perfection and pure driving pleasure reach their highest expression in this car."
The Revuelto SV is based on the standard Revuelto, the brand's first V12 hybrid supercar, which itself delivers over 1,000 CV, specifically 1015. The SV variant pushes that further to a maximum output of 1,065 CV, or 783 kW, and a class-leading 1,425 Nm of system torque, enough for 0 to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h in 6.7 seconds, and a top speed exceeding 345 km/h! Lamborghini calls it the most powerful and fastest production Lamborghini ever built in Sant'Agata Bolognese. The company frames these numbers under what it calls "The Quantum of Driving," describing a shift where performance stops being linear and instead changes state entirely, the word quantum chosen to mark that exact moment.
At the heart of the car sits a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 producing 825 CV at 9250 rpm with a maximum rev range of 9500 rpm, working alongside two front axial flux electric motors and a radial flux motor positioned above the eight-speed double-clutch gearbox mounted transversally behind the engine. This architecture enables fully electric torque vectoring, actively distributing torque between the front wheels to sharpen turn-in response and maximize grip on corner exit. A 7.3 kWh lithium-ion battery, delivering a max output of 190 kW, brings total output to 1,065 CV, a gain of 50 CV over the standard Revuelto, at a power-to-weight ratio of 1.66 kg/CV, with the battery system itself offering up to four times greater performance consistency under sustained track use. Hot gases exit through a sports exhaust system with two tailpipes finished in matte grey as standard, with matte black and matte bronze offered as options. Alessandro Farmeschi, Revuelto Product Line Director, summed up the intent: "With Revuelto SV, our goal was to give the driver an even more direct, racing-inspired and emotional connection with the car. Every element... has been developed to maximize confidence, consistency and driving engagement in every condition, whether on road or on track."
Handling that power falls to a newly developed suspension built around manually adjustable dampers derived from GT3 racing technology, precisely controlling body movement through every corner. Against the standard Revuelto, the result is a claimed 17% improvement in agility and a 10% increase in lateral grip, with Lamborghini also offering customers suggested setups tuned specifically for flat, bumpy or wet track conditions drawn from its own development work.
Stopping power comes from new CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes, developed for endurance racing and drawing on Formula 1 technology, combining a 3D carbon structure with racing-derived ventilation and a dedicated friction layer. The discs measure 420 by 40 millimeters at the front and 410 by 32 millimeters at the rear, bringing a 200 to 0 km/h stopping distance of just 110 meters and, against the Revuelto, an 11% gain in peak deceleration, a 23% improvement in heat dissipation and a 12% reduction in disc temperature. Calipers can be specified in twelve colors beyond the standard Nero Opaco finish. Further to that, a new Integrated Brake Control system uses a 6D sensor mounted close to the car's center of gravity, feeding real-time acceleration and angular velocity data on all three axes into an Integrated Vehicle Estimator that applies Kalman filtering to predict the car's dynamics, allowing the Integrated Brake Controller to reduce stopping distances by up to 10% and sharpen control over curbs and mid-corner braking.
None of that would matter much without the aerodynamics behind it, and Lamborghini claims the Revuelto SV generates 80% more total downforce than the standard Revuelto, 10% more than the Aventador SVJ, and a 60% increase in downforce-to-drag efficiency over the Revuelto. An angled fin on the front bumper seals the wheel wells and channels air toward the side coolers, while a forward-shifted aerodynamic balance sharpens track handling and a 12% gain in brake cooling keeps stopping power available under sustained load. At the rear, a motorsport-inspired double-wing design at the side ends works alongside a low-inclination central section, and a Gurney flap increases downforce on the rear hood while improving suction at the radiator outlet, backed by a new cooling channel dedicated to the rear brakes.
Design carries the same performance-first logic. The Speedshape side profile pairs with a vertical Omega treatment at the front that widens the car's stance, while a diffuser marked with red lines and a functional rear wing balance the aerodynamic package. Mitja Borkert, Design Director at Automobili Lamborghini, called it the next step in the brand's V12 hybrid design language: "Every element of the car has been developed with a clear performance-driven approach, integrating aerodynamic efficiency, lightweight materials and a more technical, motorsport-inspired character while preserving the purity of the original design. The result is a Revuelto that feels sharper, more focused and even more engaging for the driver." A race-car-inspired single-nut wheel with a hexagonal inner structure accentuates the side profile, the SV logo has been redesigned for the sides and rear, and the rear lettering can be ordered in Shiny Black, Matt Black or Matt Bronze in place of the standard Shiny Silver.
Inside, the cabin embodies what Lamborghini calls its "Feel Like a Pilot" philosophy, built around a driver-focused dashboard and a motorsport-inspired steering wheel layout. Sport Seats with a carbon shell structure come standard, with monocoque carbon fiber Race Seats offered for reduced weight and greater lateral support, while buyers choose among twelve contrasting leather colors next to the standard Nero Ade, applied across the seats, center console, carpets and dashboard. A red Pilota Mode selector sits on the right side of the steering wheel, exclusive to the SV, alongside a matching red ANIMA selector lever for the car's central driving dynamics system. Strada mode keeps things comfortable for daily use, Sport sharpens engine and chassis response, and Corsa strips back traction control for maximum attack on track, but Pilota mode, new to the Revuelto SV and activated through a dedicated rotary knob, unlocks a bespoke five-stage traction control system drawn directly from Lamborghini's GT3 racing programme, adapting to track conditions and tire wear as they change.
The exclusive 3D-Superlight Dromos wheels, 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear with hexagonal spokes and a Shiny Silver finish, reduce unsprung mass, and the Monolocker central locking system, completely redesigned for this car, debuts here as a first for series-production Lamborghini. Personalization extends further still, with four exclusive SV logo configurations, a dedicated four-design livery programme through Ad Personam, and up to 25 exterior components available in visible carbon fiber, including the front bumper and rear wing, alongside a new standard matte carbon fiber door panel that also integrates the optional Sonus faber sound system.
Bridgestone, as Lamborghini's official technical partner and exclusive tire supplier, custom-engineered a full range for the car: the semi-slick Potenza Race R for track use, the ultra-high-performance Potenza Sport for the road, available with Bridgestone's Run Flat Technology, and a bespoke Blizzak LM005 winter tire for the aftermarket. All four sizes are developed and manufactured in Italy, carry the Lamborghini logo, and come in 20 and 21-inch front and rear fitments, developed using Bridgestone's Virtual Tyre Development technology, which the company says cuts raw material consumption and CO2 emissions during development by up to 60%.
To put a number on all of it, Lamborghini sent factory driver Marco Mapelli to the Hockenheimring, where the Revuelto SV set a lap time of 1:41.6, becoming the fastest production car ever recorded on the German circuit, a track known for hosting Formula 1, DTM and GT championships and for its mix of high-speed sections, heavy braking zones and technical corners.
That result lands on a lineage stretching back more than 50 years, one that began with the 1971 Miura SV and continued through the Diablo SV, the Murciélago LP 670-4 SV and the Aventador SV before reaching this car. The Revuelto SV carries that badge forward the same way each of its predecessors did, as the sharpened, more extreme expression of whatever Lamborghini's V12 flagship happened to be at the time, only now with a hybrid system doing part of the work the naturally aspirated V12 once did alone.
