Lamborghini Revuelto SV Arrives with 1,065 CV and Sets Hockenheim Lap Record

Lamborghini has revealed the most powerful version yet of its V12 hybrid supercar, the Revuelto SV, and backed the reveal with a genuine number: a lap of Germany’s Hockenheimring in 1 minute 41.6 seconds, the fastest time ever recorded there by a production car. Output climbs to 1,065 CV (1,050 horsepower), torque reaches 1,425 Nm (1,051 lb-ft), and Lamborghini quotes a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 2.4 seconds with a top speed above 345 km/h (214 mph). Just 1,963 examples will be built, a number chosen to mark the year Automobili Lamborghini was founded.

SV, short for Super Veloce, has marked Lamborghini’s most extreme version of a model going back to the 1971 Miura SV, continuing through the Diablo SV, Murciélago SV and Aventador SV. The Revuelto SV takes over that role from the standard Revuelto, itself Lamborghini’s first V12 hybrid supercar and already good for more than 1,000 CV.

825 CV From the V12, Three Electric Motors Add the Rest

The Revuelto SV keeps the Revuelto’s 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12, tuned here to 825 CV at 9,250rpm with a rev limit of 9,500rpm. Two front axial flux motors and a third radial flux motor, mounted above the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, add electric torque vectoring across the front axle and push total output to 1,065 CV, a 50 CV gain over the standard car. A larger 7.3kWh battery supplies up to 190kW and, Lamborghini says, delivers up to four times the performance consistency of the outgoing pack across repeated hot laps.

Power-to-mass comes in at 1.66kg per CV. Lamborghini also fits a new Pilota driving mode, activated by a dedicated rotary knob on the steering wheel, which unlocks a five-stage traction control system developed from the brand’s GT3 racing program. Strada, Sport and Corsa modes carry over from the standard Revuelto for road and track use.

80 Percent More Downforce, New Brakes to Match

Lamborghini says the Revuelto SV generates 80 percent more total downforce than the standard Revuelto and 10 percent more than the old Aventador SVJ, helped by a double-wing rear design, a reworked front splitter and underbody, and a Gurney flap that also improves cooling at the rear. Brake cooling improves by 12 percent, feeding new CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic discs, measuring 420mm at the front and 410mm at the rear, that Lamborghini says cut braking distance from 200 km/h to a stop by 11 percent and reduce disc temperatures by 12 percent against the standard car.

A new sensor-based brake control system adds a six-axis unit near the car’s centre of gravity, feeding real-time acceleration and rotation data into the braking, stability and traction systems. Lamborghini says the setup shortens braking distances in combined braking and cornering by up to 10 percent and improves stability over curbs and mid-corner bumps, both common scenarios on a track day.

Bridgestone Builds a Dedicated Tyre

Bridgestone, Lamborghini’s tyre partner, developed three tyres specifically for the Revuelto SV: a semi-slick Potenza Race R for track use, a Potenza Sport for road driving with an available run-flat option, and a Blizzak LM005 winter tyre. All three come in 20-inch front and 21-inch rear sizes and carry the Lamborghini logo.

Carbon Fibre Everywhere, a Focus on the Driver

Up to 25 exterior panels can be finished in exposed carbon fibre, and the door panels are carbon as standard, a first for the model line. New forged Dromos wheels use a centre-lock hub called Monolocker, the first series-production Lamborghini to use that design. Inside, the standard seats gain a carbon shell, with a lighter, monocoque carbon race seat available as an option, and buyers can choose from twelve leather colours plus a livery programme with four dedicated designs.

The Revuelto SV lands in a small group of supercars that still pair a naturally aspirated V12 with hybrid assistance, a rarer combination as most rivals have shifted to twin-turbo V8s for outright power. Lamborghini’s choice to add torque vectoring at the front axle through two electric motors, rather than a mechanical differential and driveshaft, follows the same layout Ferrari pioneered on the SF90 Stradale, just with a V12 instead of a turbocharged V8 driving the rear wheels.

Limited to 1,963 Cars

Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, said: “Revuelto SV takes the potential of Revuelto to an even higher level, building on a car that has already set a new benchmark in terms of performance and driving precision. Every element has been developed to make the experience behind the wheel even more intense, direct and engaging. Exclusivity, technical perfection and pure driving pleasure reach their highest expression in this car. It is Lamborghini DNA in its purest form: a super sports car conceived to push beyond the limits and deliver uncompromising emotions.”

Pricing has not been announced. Lamborghini has not confirmed a US on-sale date either, though the standard Revuelto starts above $600,000 in the United States, and SV variants have historically carried a premium over the model they replace at the top of the range. With production capped at 1,963 units worldwide and Lamborghini’s most dedicated collectors first in line, expect allocations to move quickly once order books open.
