Well, the \u2018standard\u2019 car does still get 1,001bhp so we\u2019re not quite sure how you came to that conclusion, but if that wasn\u2019t enough for you\u2026 here\u2019s the 1,050bhp Revuelto SV.<\/p>\n<p>Yep, that brilliant graphic on the rear haunch of a big V12 Lambo is back, and this time it has brought with it 1,051lb ft of torque, a top speed of over 214mph and a 0-62mph time of just 2.4 seconds. That\u2019s a tenth quicker than the standard car, you\u2019ll be pleased to hear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 hQwWlJ\">\n<p>It\u2019s the same setup as before, with the 6.5-litre naturally aspirated 12-cylinder supported by an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox and three electric motors. Two are axial flux on the front axle, one is radial flux and mounted betwixt engine and gearbox. It\u2019s the electric part that supplies the SV with its extra grunt too, with a new and improved battery pack (7.3kWh vs 3.8 on the standard car) allowing the motors to send further reinforcements to the 814bhp combustion engine. You may recognise that \u2013 and a few of the other changes we\u2019ll tell you about \u2013 from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topgear.com\/car-news\/first-look\/fenomeno-welcome-most-powerful-fastest-lamborghini-ever\" data-entity-type=\"node\" data-entity-uuid=\"eec1be6d-14ab-4b21-a7fb-1a838c625411\" data-entity-substitution=\"canonical\" title=\"Fenomeno! Welcome to the most powerful, fastest Lamborghini ever\">few-off Fenomeno<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The SV also gets a tweaked exhaust and a new \u2018Pilota\u2019 drive mode to make it extra pointy on a circuit. Sounds like the changes have done the business too, because the hotter Revuelto has already set a 1m 41.6s lap record for production cars at the Hockenheimring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 hQwWlJ\">\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 hQwWlJ\">\n<p>Visual changes include seriously sharp eyelashes under the headlights that stretch down to the new splitter, while round the back there\u2019s a chunky spoiler with double wings at each end. We\u2019re told the aero balance has actually moved further forward though, and in total you\u2019re looking at 80 per cent more downforce than the standard Revuelto. Plenty of carbon addendums too. In fact, Lambo says SVs get \u201cmore carbon than any Revuelto\u201d, with up to 25 exterior components available in visible, unpainted form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 hQwWlJ\">\n<p>\u201cEvery element of the car has been developed with a clear performance-driven approach, integrating aerodynamic efficiency, lightweight materials and a more technical, motorsport-inspired character while preserving the purity of the original design,\u201d said erm\u2026 design boss Mitja Borkert.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new front treatment, the dedicated Super Veloce livery and the extensive use of visible carbon fibre emphasise the car\u2019s wider stance, precision and dramatic presence, while details such as the new centrelock wheels and hexagonal graphic themes express both technical sophistication and Lamborghini\u2019s unmistakable design DNA. The result is a Revuelto that feels sharper, more focused and even more engaging for the driver, both visually and dynamically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spoiler alert, Mitja. Because yes, this is also a Revuelto with 20in front and 21in rear centrelock wheels, while underneath those are fancy new carbon ceramic brakes and manually adjustable passive dampers. We\u2019re promised a 17 per cent increase in agility, 11 per cent higher peak deceleration and 10 per cent more lateral grip. Can someone check on Lambo, because this all feels far too sensible.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 hQwWlJ\">\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 hQwWlJ\">\n<p>Anyway, just 1,963 SVs will be available to customers to celebrate the year of Automobili Lamborghini\u2019s birth, while inside you\u2019re looking at lightweight carbon door panels, carbon seats and access to that new Pilota mode on the steering wheel. That also brings up access to a new five-stage traction control system, while a new \u20186D sensor\u2019 sits in the centre of the car and provides real time measurements of the acceleration on all three axes (lateral, longitudinal and vertical) to a number of different control systems on the car.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy combining this information with a new intelligent virtual estimation logic, the system gains a deeper understanding of how the vehicle is moving in every driving situation,\u201d reads the info on the SV.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis enables more precise and responsive braking actions, helping to prevent wheel lock and delivering improved braking performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Is this Lambo going ultra-nerdy on us? Well, perhaps not entirely. \u201cThe result is a shorter braking distance, better vehicle control during combined braking and cornering, and increased stability when driving over jumps or curbs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>First owner to jump their Revuelto SV wins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thought Lambo giving the Revuelto a hybrid system was a sign it had gone soft?
