Lamborghini has unveiled the Revuelto SV, the latest entry in a line of Super Veloce supercars that stretches back to the iconic Miura.
The Revuelto SV is the most powerful production Lamborghini ever, with the V-12 hybrid powertrain now cranking out 1050 horsepower and 1051 pound-feet of torque. Motorsports-inspired changes, such as the fixed rear wing, also allow the SV to produce 80 percent more downforce than a regular Revuelto.
The SV name has returned. A decade after the last SV-badged Lamborghini supercar ended production, the Super Veloce moniker will now adorn the hybrid Revuelto. The 2027 Revuelto SV follows the same approach as past iterations of the Super Veloce family, such as the Murciélago SV and Aventador SV, turning Lamborghini’s flagship wedge into an even more focused track-ready weapon.
The standard Revuelto is already plenty powerful, but the SV takes it to new heights. The 6.5-liter V-12 is still mated to a trio of electric motors and an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, but the hybrid setup now produces a combined 1050 horsepower and 1051 pound-feet of torque.
That’s an increase of 49 ponies and seven pound-feet of torque, making this the most powerful production Lamborghini ever. The power increase largely comes down to a new battery that now has 7 kWh of capacity, up from 3.8 kWh in the standard Revuelto.
Lamborghini says the SV will rocket to 62 mph in 2.4 seconds and to 124 mph in 6.7 seconds, but we bet it will beat those estimates since the regular Revuelto only needed 2.2 seconds to reach 60 mph when we tested it. The Revuelto SV’s top speed is said to exceed 214 mph.
Of course, the SV’s sharper performance is paired with a more hardcore design. Black accents create a sinister appearance, and there’s plenty of motorsports influence, from the fixed rear wing to new lightweight centerlock wheels. And of course, the SV logo is emblazoned across the rear fenders. Inside, there are carbon-fiber door panels and new optional carbon-fiber seats with plenty of bolstering. The screens also gain unique graphics and animations with SV logos, and, of course, the Revuelto SV is highly customizable, with 12 different contrasting leather options.
The race car looks are not just for show, with a focus on aerodynamics that sees the SV produce 80 percent more downforce than the regular Revuelto. The fin that cuts across the front bumper and creates an arrow shape with the top edge of the headlight housing helps direct air to the brakes, with Lamborghini claiming that brake cooling has been improved by 12 percent. Lamborghini also fitted the SV with a more pronounced front splitter.
At the rear, the wing sports a double-plane design at the sides, which increases downforce, while the single-plane center section maintains aerodynamic efficiency. A Gurney flap also contributes downforce while suctioning air to the radiator to cool the screaming V-12.
Lamborghini says the SV registers a 60 percent increase in downforce-to-drag efficiency and makes 10 percent more downforce than Lambo’s last hardcore V-12 supercar, the Aventador SVJ.
Lamborghini also revised the suspension, fitting manually adjustable dampers derived from Lamborghini’s GT3 racing program, which provide a claimed 10 percent increase in lateral grip. There are also new CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes from Brembo, with 16.5-inch discs up front and 16.1-inch rear units. Lamborghini says these brakes deliver more consistent and repeatable performance without the need for a warm-up phase. Those brakes hide behind new centerlock wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza Race R tires.
The Revuelto SV also heralds the arrival of a new drive mode called Pilota. While the Corsa track mode is still here, Pilota allows for even more configuration with a special five-stage traction-control system, also inspired by Lamborghini’s GT3 know-how.
The Revuelto SV seems like an absolute track weapon, and we hope to see it at our annual Lightning Lap event in the future to see just how much it can improve on the standard Revuelto’s blistering lap time of 2:41.3 around Virginia International Raceway. There’s no word yet on pricing or when the Revuelto will reach customers, but we expect to see it hit the road sometime next year with a price of at least $700,000.
