Revuelto SV reportedly shown to Lamborghini's top clients
Automobili Lamborghini is said to have quietly shown a track-focused version of the Revuelto to its most important clients, with a rumored wider public debut planned for August 2026. The prototype seen under heavy camo carried the cheeky warning 'Attenzione: Macchina Veloce', a hint that the new model will almost certainly wear the Super Veloce (SV) badge for 2027.
The Revuelto SV is expected to be a more extreme, circuit-capable iteration of Lamborghini's V12-hybrid halo. Early spy images and insider chatter point to extensive aerodynamic and chassis revisions, a lighter build, and updated powertrain software aimed at extracting sharper on-track performance without sacrificing Lamborghini's dramatic presence.
What the camouflage revealed
Photos of camouflaged prototypes suggest a production car that will distinguish itself visually and functionally from the standard Revuelto. Key visible changes include a larger, fixed rear wing, a deeper front splitter and revised front bumper intakes designed to boost radiator and brake cooling. A redesigned rear diffuser and likely underfloor tweaks point to a major increase in downforce for track work.
Carbon fiber is expected to be used liberally — not only for the wing and splitter but across body panels and aerodynamic appendages — to reduce mass and improve stiffness. Inside, Lamborghini is likely to dial back luxury trim in favor of weight-saving components and a more race-focused cockpit. Forged lightweight wheels and thinner acoustic insulation will be standard moves to reduce rotational and overall mass.
Performance: hybrid V12 tuned for the circuit
The Revuelto's 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 currently makes around 825 cv (814 hp) at 9,250 rpm on the gasoline side. The standard car's combined output, including three electric motors (two powering the front axle), is officially listed at about 1,015 cv (1,001 hp). For the SV, insiders suggest Lamborghini could push the figure further — rumors range from roughly 1,065 to as much as 1,200 horsepower — while also chasing a 50 kg weight reduction, a strategy consistent with past Super Veloce models.
To handle the new aero balance and increased downforce, expect a bespoke suspension tune, recalibrated dampers, and revised front-axle torque-vectoring software to counter understeer and sharpen turn-in on track. Braking hardware and cooling circuits will likely be beefed up to cope with repeated laps at speed.
- Engine: 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 + hybrid system
- Combined output: standard 1,015 cv (1,001 hp); SV rumored 1,065–1,200 hp
- Weight reduction: expected ~50 kg compared with base Revuelto
- Aero: fixed carbon rear wing, larger splitter, new diffuser, underfloor changes
- Chassis: revised suspension tuning and torque-vectoring software
How it compares to Lamborghini's past SV models
Lamborghini's Super Veloce history is clear: lighter, more powerful, and more focused than the standard car. The Aventador SV and SVJ models are good precedents — both used extensive carbon fiber to cut weight and sharpen handling. The Aventador SV offered roughly 50 extra horsepower over its base counterpart and shed significant kilos; the Revuelto SV appears to be following that blueprint while integrating hybrid performance tech unique to the current generation.
Production will likely be limited, strengthening the Revuelto SV's exclusivity. Rumors put the run at 1,963 units — a symbolic nod to the year Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the company — which would make it rarer than many modern supercars but more numerous than ultra-limited track specials.
Market timing and debut
The private client preview reportedly took place on June 13, 2026, and industry whispers suggest Lamborghini may reveal the Revuelto SV to the wider world at Monterey Car Week in August 2026. A late-2026 launch fits Lamborghini's typical cadence for special-series models and would position the SV for the 2027 model year.
Whether Lamborghini can nudge the V12 further while complying with tightening emissions rules such as Euro 7 remains an open question. But if the marque balances mechanical refinement, hybrid integration, and aerodynamic aggression as its history suggests, the Revuelto SV will be a rare, high-performance manifesto — a V12 hybrid supercar built for owners who want peak track capability wrapped in unmistakable Lamborghini drama.
Highlights and details will become clearer once Lamborghini lifts the veil; until then, the Revuelto SV remains one of the most intriguing V12-hybrid supercars on the horizon.
