Core Event: Limited-Edition Hybrid Supercar Revealed
Lamborghini announced the Revuelto SV, a limited-run (1,963 units) Super Veloce version of its plug-in-hybrid V12 flagship. The model will debut on August 14 2026 at Monterey Car Week. The SV badge denotes a more track-focused, higher-output variant.
Background & Context: The SV Tradition
Since the 1971 Miura SV, Lamborghini has used the SV designation for lighter, more powerful iterations of its flagship V12 cars. The Revuelto SV continues this lineage, pairing the unchanged 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 with an upgraded hybrid system.

Key upgrades: fixed rear wing, revised front splitter, carbon-fiber body parts, GT3-derived passive dampers, CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes (420 mm front, 410 mm rear), and a new “Pilota” driving mode with a five-stage traction-control system.
Official Statements & Responses
- Federico Foschini, chief marketing officer, said the new Pilota mode gives “non-professional drivers” a controllable yet exhilarating experience, extending performance beyond the racetrack.
Why It Matters / Impact
The Revuelto SV shows Lamborghini’s approach of retaining the atmospheric V12 while meeting stricter emissions through hybridisation. By increasing electric-motor output without altering the V12, the company claims the hybrid system preserves the engine’s character. The limited run and high price (estimated well above the standard Revuelto’s $600 k) position the model as a halo vehicle for affluent clients and a showcase of future-ready technology.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
- Power output: Most outlets list 1,050 hp; a few cite 1,065 hp.
- Torque: Reported as 1,051 lb-ft for the SV, while some articles only give the standard model’s 783 lb-ft.
- Top speed: Stated only as “over 214 mph” with no precise figure.
- Pricing: No official price; estimates range from $750 k to over $1 million, unverified.
Verbatim Quotes
- “With the Revuelto SV, we’re further refining the already high-performance and razor-sharp Revuelto, offering drivers an even more intense driving experience,” — CEO Stephan Winkelmann
- “There is a moment where you have the first prototypes, and you drive the car on the racetrack, and you start understanding and feeling what's going on. Then you say, ‘[the] packaging is okay, but the cooling system doesn't cool down as expected.’ At a certain point, you have a car that goes into de-rating [cutting power] because it's too hot,” — Alessandro Farmerschi, product line director
- “The concept behind the car is what we define as 'The Quantum of Driving': a point where performance is no longer simply increased, but transformed into a completely different driving experience.” — Marketing Officer Federico Foschini
