Lamborghini doesn't hand out the Super Veloce badge lightly. In 63 years, only five SV models have worn it, every one a V12: the Miura SV, Diablo SV, Murciélago SV, Aventador SV, and the Aventador SVJ. Now a sixth joins the club, and arguably the wildest yet, the 2027 Lamborghini Revuelto SV, a track-honed version of the brand's mid-engine, scissor-door hybrid flagship.
New Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer Fermin Soneira, who joined the company only in July, said every modification made to the SV was aimed purely at performance. The groundwork, however, came from his predecessor Rouven Mohr, now CTO at Audi.
The 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 carries over unchanged, still making 814 horsepower and 535 pound-feet with a 9,500-rpm redline. The real difference is the battery, which nearly doubles in capacity from 3.8 to 7.3 kilowatt-hours and switches from pouch cells to cylindrical ones. That alone adds 49 horsepower, pushing total system output to 1,050 hp, while torque leaps to a staggering 1,051 lb-ft from 793 in the standard car. Lamborghini says the battery now outputs 190 kilowatts, recovers 23 percent more braking energy, and delivers four times the consistency under track use.
The result: a claimed 0.1-second quicker run to 62 mph and 0.3 seconds faster to 125 mph, translating roughly to a 2.1-second 0-60 and a 9.4-second quarter mile.
Braking might be the bigger story. New CCMR+ carbon-ceramic brakes use long carbon fibers similar to Formula 1 components and zircon caliper inserts, yielding 11 percent better deceleration and 23 percent more heat dissipation. Lamborghini quotes 3.4 megawatts of braking power versus 2.7 MW on the regular Revuelto and 2.5 MW for an actual F1 car — despite the SV weighing roughly 2,600 pounds more than one.
New KW adjustable dampers, retuned anti-roll bars, SV-specific semi-slick Bridgestone Potenza Race R tires, and revised aerodynamics producing 80 percent more downforce round out the changes. Despite added lightweighting, the SV weighs about the same as the standard car, with pricing starting at $749,667.
Driving 15 laps at Rome's Vallelunga Circuit, Corsa mode's new "Piloti" setting—borrowed from Lamborghini's GT3 program—allowed controllable, progressive oversteer, while the Bridgestones delivered relentless grip even in light rain. The CCMR+ brakes showed no fade across repeated hard stops, a notable upgrade over the Aventador SV/SVJ era.
Lamborghini says driver Marco Mapelli lapped the Hockenheimring 5.7 seconds quicker in the SV than in an Aventador SVJ, setting what the brand calls a production supercar record of 1:41.6. With production capped at 1,963 units, the Revuelto SV looks set to dominate any track day it shows up to.
