Ahead of its world premiere on 14 August at The Quail, the new Lamborghini Revuelto SV set the fastest lap ever recorded by a production car at the Hockenheimring. Lamborghini factory driver and test driver Marco Mapelli set the lap time of 1:41.6, in the new super sports car from Sant’Agata Bolognese.

“The new Revuelto SV represents an extraordinary expression of our vision for a Lamborghini super sports car,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “Every element of the car has been developed with the goal of taking performance to an even higher level, enhancing the driving engagement and emotion that have always defined our brand. The record achieved at the Hockenheimring is the result of this approach and demonstrates how innovation, technology and engineering expertise can be translated into tangible, measurable results.”

Automobili Lamborghini selected the Hockenheimring to establish an internationally recognized performance benchmark. Home to Formula 1, DTM and GT racing, the German circuit is regarded as one of the most authoritative references for evaluating a vehicle’s dynamic capabilities, both for professional racing drivers and gentleman drivers. Its layout, combining high-speed sections, heavy braking zones and technical corners, provides a comprehensive assessment of a vehicle’s performance under highly representative conditions.

“The Revuelto SV has reached a level of performance we had never experienced before at Lamborghini,” commented Marco Mapelli, Lamborghini factory driver and test driver. “The extraordinary harmony between car and driver allows you to exploit its full potential, inspiring precision and confidence even at the limit. It is exactly this combination of performance, control and driver engagement that enabled us to achieve this result.”

The new Revuelto SV will be first shown during The Quail, as one of the highlights of this exclusive annual automotive gathering. During this year’s Monterey Car Week, Lamborghini’s sportiest model will lead a series of premieres, such as the US debut of the new Urus SE Performante as well as the global presentation of the Revuelto Miura 60° Homage as part of the brand’s celebrations of the Miura and 55 years of Miura SV.
