Lamborghini unveiled the Revuelto SV on August 14, 2026, at Monterey Car Week, reviving a badge with serious history behind it. “SV” stands for Super Veloce, and it has marked the most extreme version of Lamborghini’s flagship model since the original Miura SV debuted 55 years ago, later carried by the Murciélago SV and Aventador SVJ. This time, the honor goes to the Revuelto, Lamborghini’s V12 hybrid hypercar that replaced the Aventador in 2024.
Production is capped at 1,963 units worldwide, a deliberate nod to the year Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the company. Allocation is reserved for the brand’s existing customers and collectors, meaning the car isn’t going to be available to walk-in buyers regardless of budget.
More Power, Not a New Engine
The Revuelto SV keeps the standard Revuelto’s 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 completely unchanged, still producing 814 horsepower and spinning to a 9,500 rpm redline. The extra performance instead comes from the car’s three electric motors — two on the front axle and one at the rear — which now contribute a combined 1,050 to 1,065 horsepower system output, a roughly 50-horsepower gain over the standard Revuelto. System torque climbs to 1,425 Nm, which Lamborghini calls best-in-class for the segment.
That power translates into a 0-62 mph time of 2.4 seconds, 0-124 mph in 6.7 seconds, and a top speed above 214 mph. Lamborghini also validated the car’s performance credentials on track: factory driver Marco Mapelli set a 1:41.6 lap at the Hockenheimring, which the company says makes the Revuelto SV the fastest production car ever recorded at that circuit.
Aerodynamics and Chassis Get the Bigger Overhaul
According to Lamborghini, the more significant engineering work went into the car’s aerodynamics and chassis rather than the powertrain. The Revuelto SV generates 80% more total downforce than the standard car, aided by extensive bodywork revisions. Braking performance improves substantially as well, with new carbon-ceramic brakes capable of stopping the car from 200 km/h (124 mph) to a complete stop in just 116 meters. The suspension uses GT3-derived, manually adjustable dampers, giving owners direct control over how the car behaves on track versus on the road.
“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,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. Alessandro Farmeschi, the Revuelto product line director, framed the electrified boost differently, telling CNBC it exists to add “the adrenaline and the emotions” that define what makes a Lamborghini feel like a Lamborghini, rather than simply chasing a bigger horsepower number.
Pricing and What It’s Up Against
The Revuelto SV starts at $741,172, before options, taxes, or delivery fees. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027. That price and performance profile puts it in direct competition with the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, which uses a smaller twin-turbo V8 hybrid setup producing meaningfully less combined power and starts at a similar price point in some markets.
What This Means for the Supercar Market
The Revuelto SV lands at a moment when the entire hypercar segment is wrestling with the same question: does adding electric motors to a flagship model dilute the raw, analog character enthusiasts pay for, or does it genuinely enhance it? Lamborghini’s answer, backed by a faster lap time and a heavier focus on chassis engineering than on chasing horsepower alone, suggests the company believes hybridization can sharpen a car’s character rather than soften it. With allocation reserved for loyal customers and collectors, most people who experience the Revuelto SV in the coming year will do so through photos and video rather than behind the wheel — but as a statement about where high-performance hybrid engineering is headed, it’s one of the most significant releases of 2026.
