Lamborghini has just unveiled the Revuelto SV in Monterey, a hybrid V12 supercar producing more than 1,000 horsepower, and while it isn't on sale yet, it signals clearly where the Italian automaker is heading. As of August 2026, Lamborghini's entire core lineup runs on hybrid power: the Revuelto, built as a V12 High Performance Electrified Vehicle; the Urus SE, a plug-in hybrid SUV; and the Temerario, which swaps the old V10 for a twin-turbo V8 while still chasing high revs and strong output.
This transformation is part of Lamborghini's Direzione Cor Tauri roadmap, which treats plug-in hybrids as a transitional step before the brand eventually launches a fully electric model. Financially, the strategy appears to be paying off. Revenue climbed in the first half of 2026 even though overall deliveries dipped, with high-priced flagship models like the Revuelto helping offset the decline.
Globally, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa remain Lamborghini's largest market by volume, followed by the Americas and then Asia-Pacific. Canada falls within that Americas total, representing a modest but consistent segment of the supercar market shaped more by local luxury taxes and tariffs than by rapid growth. Still, according to the report, Canada is becoming an increasingly important focus for Lamborghini as it builds out its hybrid family, with the brand leaning on the Revuelto lineup, the Urus SE, and the Temerario, supported by limited production, premium pricing, and tightly controlled allocation for markets the company believes will support that approach — prompting local editions and increased dealer investment in the country.
The new Revuelto SV pushes Lamborghini's hybrid V12 approach even further. The standard Revuelto, the brand's first series-production HPEV, already combines a new V12 engine, three electric motors, and a dual-clutch transmission that enables brief electric-only driving and extremely quick launches. The SV variant raises the stakes with a hybrid V12 system rated at 1,050 horsepower and a claimed 0–62 mph time of 2.4 seconds, though official fuel consumption figures are still pending type approval.
For now, Lamborghini's roadmap suggests hybrids will continue to lead the way before any fully electric model arrives. The automaker has paused its standalone Lanzador EV project, instead prioritizing plug-in hybrid vehicles through the next several years, including the Urus SE and additional new models confirmed for 2026.
Lamborghini appears to be using hybrid V12 engines and plug-in SUVs as its new halo products, preserving extreme performance while keeping each model rarer and more expensive to sustain demand. For Canadian buyers and dealers, that likely means more market-specific editions and targeted investment — while for traditionalists, the character of Lamborghini's V12 will increasingly depend on electric assistance rather than pure combustion alone.
