► More power, more wing, more everything
► New SV makes 1050bhp, 0-62mph in 2.4sec
► Expected to be priced upwards of £500k

Anyone with a loose idea of the Lamborghini line-up knows that the wildest, most extreme stuff takes a few trips around the sun to materialise. Hence why, three years after the launch of the vanilla Revuelto, we’ve now got the SV (Super Veloce) version.

That means more power, less weight, improved chassis tech and – most importantly – a whacking great big wing on the rear end. Honestly, look through the pics of this car, then go back and search for the ‘regular’ Revuelto. Doesn’t look right without the spoiler, does it?

Never mind the wing, what’s with the paint job?

The colour scheme on this particular SV is perhaps more divisive (there’s more than a hint of Tron about it) but it’s one of four exclusive livery designs available from launch. Other colours and looks are of course available, plus customers can spec up to 25 exterior components in a visible carbon finish – much like the Urus SE Performante we saw recently.

It’s not just mere aesthetics, mind. The more aggressive styling also helps generate 80 per cent greater downforce than the Revuelto and, impressively, 10 per cent more than the Aventador SVJ. Much of that is down to the aforementioned rear wing, but there’s also been improvements to the front splitter and underbody configuration.

Crucially, cooling also sees a bump, with an improved seal around the front wheel wells (directing more effective airflow to the side coolers) and new cooling channel for the rear brakes among the improvements. Also notice the new 3D-Superlight Dromos wheels that a) save weight and b) are centre-locked like a racing car.

How powerful is the Revuelto SV?

The 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 remains and, aside from a different tune to the exhaust system, is unchanged. Where the additional power comes from (up 49bhp to 1050bhp in total) is the electric element. Still boasting three electric motors (one between the engine and gearbox and one on each front wheel), the battery has grown from a piddly 3.8kWh to a slightly less piddly 7.3kWh.

It’s still no good for outright electric range, but Lamborghini freely admits that’s not the primary purpose. Rather, the EV element helps to deliver a 214mph top speed as well as 0-62mph in 2.4 seconds and 0-124mph in 6.7. All the while maintaining that glorious V12 soundtrack.

And the other performance improvements?

Keeping all of that in check is some fancy new hardware and software. The former is made up of manually adjustable passive dampers – replacing the regular car’s adaptive setup. It’s hard to put a number on what the improvement will be, but Lambo has tried – claiming a 17 per cent and 10 per cent uptick in agility and lateral grip respectively.

However, that’s not the main story. Rather, Lambo’s new Integrated Brake Control system and the next-gen inertial sensor that goes with it, is. Positioned close to the vehicle’s centre of gravity, the 6D sensor takes real-time data to make a precise estimate of the car’s speed, side-slip angle and the coefficient of friction between the tires and road surface. This is a similar system to that used on sister company Ducati’s latest high-performance Panigale motorcycles.

The result? Well, according to Lambo, the extra info on how the vehicle is moving at any given time means shorter stopping distances, better control during braking and cornering and increased stability over kerbs and jumps. Only one way to find out…

Speaking of the brakes, they’re huge. CCM-R Plus carbon ceramic discs as standard, they measure 420 x 40mm and the front and 410 x 32mm at the rear. Lambo claims an 11 per cent improvement in peak deceleration, 23 per cent uptick in heat dissipation and 12 per cent reduction in brake disc temps.

Which is handy when you’re chasing a production car lap record at a certain German circuit. No, not the one you’re thinking of… Rather, Hockenheimring. The SV (shod with Bridgestone Potenza R road legal semi-slicks) managed a 1:41:6 lap time – less than three seconds off a front-running DTM-spec GT3 racing car.

There’s no word on what driving mode Lamborghini was using on the record run, but along with the usual Strada, Sport and Corsa, the SV also gets a new Pilota setting. Unlocked via a dedicated rotary knob on the steering wheel, the Pilota preset unlocks a five-stage traction control mode.

Lamborghini is yet to confirm a price for the Revuelto SV, but expect a base figure well in excess of £500,000 with orders open in the final third of 2026.
