Track-Focused Hybrid Power
Lamborghini Revuelto SV Debuts Most Powerful Production Model with 1,050-hp Hybrid V12
Key Points
The Revuelto SV's power boost is largely driven by a higher-energy battery, now around 7 kWh (The Drive notes 7.3 kWh total), enabling greater electric assist within the three-motor hybrid setup.
Lamborghini claims the Revuelto SV is the most powerful production model the company has ever built, delivering about 1,050 horsepower and 1,051 lb-ft of torque.
Aerodynamics and braking have been sharpened for track use: the SV features roughly 80% more downforce than the standard Revuelto, plus improved brake cooling (about 12%) thanks to a front bumper fin, a fixed rear wing, and centerlock wheels.
Driving dynamics are tailored for the track with a Pilota Mode and other race-oriented settings (including GT3-derived modes) to unlock a more hands-on, high-performance experience.
The Revuelto SV is priced as a premium, limited-run model at about $741,172 (price cited in coverage), underscoring its exclusivity and performance focus.
Lamborghini has unveiled the Revuelto SV, the most powerful production car the Italian brand has ever built. It delivers 1,050 horsepower and 1,051 lb-ft of torque from a 6.5-liter V12 paired with three electric motors, according to Car and Driver. The car hits 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds and tops out above 214 mph.
The SV — short for Super Veloce, Italian for "super fast" — is a track-focused upgrade of the standard Revuelto hybrid. Lamborghini will build just 1,963 units, a nod to the company's founding year. Starting price sits at roughly $741,172, making it one of the most exclusive Lamborghinis ever sold.
A Bigger Battery Unlocks Record-Breaking Power
The key to the SV's output is a denser 7.3 kWh battery pack. That is larger than the unit in the standard Revuelto, and it feeds about 190 kW to the three electric motors. The V12 and motors work together to hit the 1,050 hp total, according to Car and Driver. Lamborghini says this makes the SV the most powerful series-production car in its history.
The battery is powerful enough to complete roughly four laps around Germany's Hockenheimring on electric power alone. The car keeps the same all-wheel-drive hybrid layout as the standard Revuelto, but everything has been turned up. Motoring Research reported total output at 1,065 hp by European measurement standards — slightly higher than the U.S. figure due to different rating methods.
Wild Aero and Brakes Built for the Track
The SV looks sharply different from the standard Revuelto. It gets a fixed rear wing, a wider front end called the Omega design, and centerlock wheels — the kind used on race cars. These changes push downforce up by about 80 percent compared to the standard model, according to CarBuzz. More downforce means the car sticks to the road harder at high speed.
Braking has also been upgraded. The SV uses Brembo CCM-R and CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes. A new fin in the front bumper improves brake cooling by about 12 percent. That matters on a track, where brakes get pushed hard lap after lap and overheating can be dangerous.
Pilota Mode and GT3-Inspired Driving Settings
Lamborghini tuned the SV's driving modes for serious track use. The headline feature is Pilota Mode — a setting borrowed from motorsport that sharpens throttle response, steering, and suspension. The car also includes GT3-inspired settings that give the driver more direct control over how the car handles, according to Motoring Research.
The suspension has been revised along with the software that manages the hybrid system. Lamborghini says the goal was to make the driver feel every input and keep the V12 soundtrack front and center. Auto Express described the SV as the most intense Lamborghini ever to wear the classic Super Veloce badge.
1,963 Units, One Clear Goal: Brand Halo Status
The 1,963-unit limit is not just a marketing trick. It ties directly to 1963, the year Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the company. Limited production creates collector demand and keeps the SV rare. At $741,172, it costs significantly more than the standard Revuelto and competes directly with top-tier hypercars from Ferrari and McLaren.
The SV arrives as a 2027 model year car, per Car and Driver. It cements the Super Veloce name as Lamborghini's highest-performance badge and shows how the brand is using electrification to go faster — not just greener. The V12 stays naturally aspirated, preserving the raw sound fans expect, while the electric motors fill in extra muscle wherever the engine alone falls short.
