Lamborghini has unveiled the Lamborghini Revuelto SV. In its official newsroom post, the company calls it the latest Super Veloce V12. It is also the most powerful production car Lamborghini has built in Sant’Agata Bolognese. Lamborghini will build 1,963 cars, a nod to the year the brand was founded. Also, Lamborghini has not posted a price.

The hybrid V12 now makes 1065 CV

The six point five liter naturally aspirated V12 still sits in the middle. It makes 825 CV at 9250 rpm and can spin to 9500 rpm. Then three electric motors join in. Two axial-flux units sit at the front. A radial-flux motor sits above the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Combined output is 1,065 CV, or 783 kW, about 1,050 hp. That is 50 CV more than the standard Revuelto. Peak system torque is 1,425 Nm, about 1,051 lb-ft.

Lamborghini lists the high-voltage pack at 7300 watt-hours, and that pack can put out 190 kW. The company says the new battery holds that output more consistently on track. Officially, 0 to 100 km/h takes two point four seconds. Then 0 to 200 km/h takes six point seven seconds. Top speed exceeds 345 km/h. Power-to-weight is 166 kg per 100 CV.

Pilota is the new track mode

For the first time on Revuelto, Lamborghini adds Pilota. A red rotary knob on the right of the wheel unlocks a five-stage traction system taken from the brand’s GT3 car. The company says it is built for curbs, jumps, and aggressive track use. Meanwhile, Strada, Sport, and Corsa remain. ANIMA still sits on the wheel, now in red as well.

Instead, the chassis is more race-derived than the base car. Adjustable passive dampers come from GT3 work. Specifically, Lamborghini claims 17 percent more agility and 10 percent more lateral grip than Revuelto. Next-generation CCM-R Plus discs measure 420 by 40 mm up front. Meanwhile, the rears are 410 by 32 mm. Compared with Revuelto, the company quotes 11 percent more peak deceleration. It also quotes 23 percent more heat dissipation and 12 percent lower disc temperature. Then a 6D sensor feeds the integrated brake controller. Lamborghini says 200 to 0 km/h now takes 110 meters.

Aero and the Super Veloce look

The official brief says the SV makes 80 percent more total downforce than Revuelto. It also claims 10 percent more than Aventador SVJ. Downforce-to-drag efficiency is up 60 percent versus Revuelto. A new front splitter, underbody, and double-element rear wing do that work. The side profile is what Lamborghini calls Speedshape. Center-lock Dromos wheels are 20 inches front and 21 inches rear. Bridgestone built a street-legal Potenza Race R semi-slick just for this car.

Inside, carbon door panels are standard. Sport seats with carbon shells are standard too. Optional monocoque race seats cut more weight. Also, design chief Mitja Borkert built every element around aero, carbon, and a more technical stance. Chairman Stephan Winkelmann is blunter. “It is Lamborghini DNA in its purest form,” he said.

Hockenheim is the official proof lap

Factory driver Marco Mapelli set one minute 41 seconds and 6 tenths at the Hockenheimring. Lamborghini says that is the fastest production-car lap it has recorded there. A separate official note posted that time before the public reveal. Specifically, the company picked Hockenheim because it mixes high-speed runs, hard braking, and tight corners. Customers can also book track days there, so Lamborghini wants the number repeatable, not just a one-off press stunt.

The SV name itself is 55 years old on this car. Lamborghini traces Super Veloce from the 1971 Miura SV through Diablo, Murcielago, and Aventador. However, Revuelto SV is the first of those cars to do the job as a plug-in hybrid. The company reserves the run for loyal customers and collectors. Four exclusive SV logos and four dedicated liveries sit on the options list. Finally, buyers can order up to 25 exterior parts in visible carbon.

This sits next to the rest of this year’s one-off and hybrid supercar pile. Ferrari just showed the CZ26 one-off for a single US client. Meanwhile, Audi’s Nuvolari hybrid is the four-ring version of the same arms race. Until Lamborghini names a price, the official story is 1,963 cars. It is also 1,065 CV and a new Pilota knob.
