Lamborghini just gave the Revuelto the treatment reserved for its most important cars. The SV badge hasn’t appeared on a V12 flagship since the Aventador SV, and before that the Murciélago and the Diablo, tracing all the way back to the original Miura SV in 1971. It’s not a trim level. It’s Lamborghini’s way of saying this is the version they built without compromise, and the Revuelto SV, unveiled in August at Monterey Car Week, is exactly that.
What it actually is
The Revuelto SV keeps the standard car’s formula, a naturally aspirated V12 paired with three electric motors, but turns every number up. Combined output lands at 1,065 CV (about 1,050 hp) and 1,051 lb-ft of torque, drawing from a 7.3-kWh battery. The result is a 0-62 mph run of 2.4 seconds and a top speed north of 214 mph, making it the quickest and most powerful series-production car Lamborghini has ever built.
The bigger story is what’s happening around the car, not just under the hood. Lamborghini claims 80 percent more downforce than the standard Revuelto, and 10 percent more than the outgoing Aventador SVJ, delivered through a reworked front fascia with the brand’s vertical Omega theme, a fixed dual-plane rear wing, and a rear venturi that spans the full width of the car. None of it is decorative. Lamborghini’s own factory driver, Marco Mapelli, used that aero package to set a 1:41.6 lap at Hockenheim, reportedly the fastest lap ever recorded there by a production car.
Weight came out everywhere it could. Carbon-fiber panels are standard, the vents behind the front wheels and ahead of the rears are carbon, and the optional Sport Seats use full carbon-fiber shells. New forged Dromos wheels, 20-inch front and 21-inch rear, use a hexagonal spoke design with a central locking system borrowed straight from motorsport.
What it costs, and who’s actually getting one
Lamborghini has priced the Revuelto SV at $741,172 before options in the US, roughly $135,000 over the standard Revuelto’s approximately $605,000 starting point. That’s before carbon-fiber upgrades or Ad Personam personalization, both of which reliably push finished cars well past the base figure.
Production is capped at 1,963 units worldwide, a deliberate nod to 1963, the year Automobili Lamborghini was founded. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027, and going by how quickly Lamborghini’s recent limited runs have sold out, most of that allocation was likely spoken for before the car was publicly unveiled.
Why this matters more than a typical halo car
The Revuelto SV isn’t really competing with anything currently for sale. It’s competing with its own bloodline: the Miura SV, the Diablo SV, the Murciélago, the Aventador SV, cars that each defined what “the extreme version” of a V12 Lamborghini could be for their generation. Early hands-on reviews from Nardò describe a car that’s “pointedly, deliberately outrageous,” and that seems to be exactly the point. Lamborghini didn’t electrify the Revuelto to soften it. The SV is what happens when a hybrid V12 flagship gets the same no-compromise treatment its purely combustion-engined ancestors got, and the Hockenheim lap time suggests the formula still works.
