Lamborghini’s flagship Revuelto levels up with SV trim
Superveloce variant boosts output to 1,065cv with 80 per cent increase in downforce

Lamborghini has announced the Revuelto SV, a high-performance variant of its flagship V12 hybrid supercar. The SV designation, standing for Superveloce or 'super fast', denotes a focus on superior speed and agility. The vehicle combines a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine with three electric motors to produce 1,065cv, a 50cv increase over the standard Revuelto. This power boost is supported by a revised battery with a 7.3kWh increase in energy capacity.

The car achieves 0–100km/h in 2.4 seconds and features an 80 per cent increase in downforce through extensive carbon fibre use and aerodynamic revisions. A new 'Pilota' mode allows drivers to adjust stability system sensitivity across five levels. While official pricing is not yet confirmed, estimates suggest a starting price of at least $750,000. This launch reinforces Lamborghini’s hybrid strategy, following the company’s decision to scrap plans for a purely electric sports car.

Alessandro Farmeschi, product line director for the Revuelto, described the 'quantum of driving' as the moment the driver and car become one. The vehicle features a new CCM-R Plus braking system with thicker, larger discs and radial holes to improve cooling. The electric-only range is approximately 15 kilometers.

Transmission shifting time has been reduced by 30 per cent for more responsive acceleration. The power-to-weight ratio is 1.66 kg/CV, compared to 1.75kg/CV for the standard Revuelto. The front bumper is completely new, and the rear wing incorporates two wing designs into one. The front-end changes alone provide a 100 per cent increase in front downforce compared with the standard Revuelto.
