Lamborghini’s latest Revuelto SV puts the F in fun with a special drive mode
Lamborghini’s latest Revuelto SV puts the F in fun with a special drive mode-October 2024
2026-08-14 EDT 20:38:32

Lamborghini has pushed the Revuelto deeper into supercar territory with the new Revuelto SV, adding more electric power, sharper handling and a new driving mode developed around one very specific goal: making the car more entertaining when the road gets twisty.

Revealed ahead of Monterey Car Week at Pebble Beach, the Revuelto SV brings the brands Super Veloce badge into Lamborghinis electrified era. Production will be limited to 1,963 examples, a nod to the year Lamborghini was founded.

Recommended Videos The plug-in hybrid V12 remains at the heart of the car, but Lamborghini has increased total system output by 50 horsepower to 1,050 hp. Torque rises to 1,051 lb-ft, while the high-voltage battery now stores 7.3 kWh, up from 3.8 kWh. The added energy density allows the electric motor system to produce an additional 190 kW without physically increasing the batterys size.

  More power matters, but Lamborghini wants you to feel the difference in corners

The extra output cuts the 0-60 mph time to 2.4 seconds, a tenth quicker than the standard Revuelto. Top speed exceeds 214 mph, although Lamborghini has not provided a precise figure.

Straight-line numbers, however, are only part of the SV formula. Lamborghini has fitted racing-inspired adjustable passive dampers, next-generation carbon-ceramic brakes and model-specific Bridgestone Potenza Race R tires. The company says the combination delivers 10% more lateral grip from the dampers alone and 13% more overall grip, while traction improves by 5% at full throttle.

Brake cooling has also been improved, with Lamborghini claiming 23% better heat dissipation and a 12% reduction in brake-disc temperatures. Those changes should matter far more on a circuit than shaving another tenth from a launch.

A dedicated steering-wheel rotary control activates Pilota and unlocks a five-stage traction-control system derived from Lamborghinis GT3 race car.

  The SV looks as serious as it drives

Lamborghini has also given the Revuelto a more aggressive aerodynamic treatment, with sharper bodywork, deeper creases, red detailing and a fixed rear wing. Staggered 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels are available with center-lock hardware.

Inside, lightweight carbon-fiber door panels and racing seats continue the weight-saving theme. Standard sport seats use carbon shells, while full carbon-fiber monocoque race seats will be available as options.

Lamborghini has not announced pricing, but with production capped at 1,963 cars, availability is likely to be a bigger concern than the sticker price. For buyers who can get one, the Revuelto SV represents something more interesting than another horsepower upgrade: a V12 hybrid supercar designed to make its driver work, play, and grin a little harder.
