Lamborghini’s flagship Revuelto levels up with SV trim
Lamborghini has unveiled the Revuelto SV, a higher-performance version of its flagship V12 hybrid supercar. The SV badge, meaning “Superveloce” or “super fast”, signals sharper performance, lower weight and more track-focused engineering, extending a designation previously used on models including the Miura, Diablo, Murciélago and Aventador.
The Revuelto SV retains a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 and three electric motors, producing 1,065cv (about 1,050hp), roughly 50hp more than the standard car. Its revised battery adds 7.3kWh of capacity and higher power output to sustain performance during hard laps, while gear shifts are 30 per cent quicker. Lamborghini has also used carbon fibre for components including the bumpers, rear wing, door panels and racing seats, achieving a stated power-to-weight ratio of 1.66kg/CV.
In short
- Revuelto SV adds power, lighter materials and faster shifts.
- Hybrid V12 system produces about 1,050hp.
- Battery upgrades aim for consistent track performance.
Explained simply
Lamborghini is an Italian maker of high-performance sports cars, and the Revuelto is its flagship model: a hybrid supercar combining a petrol engine with electric motors. Its V12 engine is a large, naturally aspirated design, meaning it draws in air without a turbocharger.
“SV” stands for Superveloce, Italian for “super fast”, and Lamborghini has used the badge on more focused versions of several earlier models. These cars are generally designed to be lighter and more suited to track driving than the standard versions.
The Revuelto’s hybrid system pairs its V12 with three electric motors. In a hybrid, the electric power can add acceleration and support performance, while reducing reliance on the petrol engine alone.
