Lamborghini has taken its already formidable Revuelto and pushed its Super Veloce philosophy further with the new Revuelto SV, creating the fastest and most powerful series-production Lamborghini to date. Developed and evaluated at Italy’s Nardò test track, the SV retains the Revuelto’s fundamental character while sharpening virtually every aspect of its dynamic performance.
At its core remains the naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, producing around 814 hp, complemented by three electric motors integrated into the all-wheel-drive hybrid system. Total output rises to approximately 1,050 hp, an increase of 49 hp over the standard Revuelto. A larger 13.6-kWh battery also improves the powertrain’s repeatability during sustained high-performance driving.
The SV’s biggest transformation, however, comes through its chassis and aerodynamics. Extensive use of exposed carbon fiber appears across the bodywork, including the hood, door panels, scuttle and aerodynamic components. Despite the additional battery capacity and substantial aero hardware, weight remains broadly comparable to the standard car.
Aerodynamic development is particularly aggressive. A larger front splitter, aerodynamic flicks, side strakes, rear wing and full-width rear Venturi work together to generate substantially greater downforce—claimed to be around 80% higher than the standard Revuelto. The complex rear wing uses multiple elements to balance aerodynamic efficiency, stability and cornering grip at high speed.
Braking performance receives an equally serious upgrade. Lamborghini’s CCMR carbon-ceramic brakes, derived from endurance-racing technology, employ layered carbon construction rather than conventional molded rotors. This architecture improves heat dissipation and delivers more consistent braking performance during repeated hard stops. Dedicated brake ducts further control rotor temperatures.
Underneath, adjustable passive dampers allow compression and rebound settings to be tailored for different circuits and conditions. The result is a car that feels more immediate without becoming unpredictable. Steering response is sharper, body control is tighter, and the front end offers greater precision when attacking corners.
On track, the Revuelto SV demonstrates that its greatest advantage is not simply outright speed but confidence. Its braking, steering, damping and aerodynamic stability remain remarkably consistent lap after lap.
Rather than reinventing the Revuelto, Lamborghini has refined it into a more focused and aggressive machine—preserving its grand-touring capability while shifting its compromises decisively toward the racetrack. The result is a V12 supercar that feels faster not only because it has more performance, but because it gives the driver greater confidence to exploit it.
