Lamborghini Revuelto SV: what the numbers really mean
The Super Veloce badge now belongs to a 1,065 CV V12 hybrid. The important story is not only greater output—it is how Lamborghini is trying to make a heavy, complex architecture feel more precise and repeatable.
- System output
- 1,065 CV
- Claimed 0–100 km/h
- 2.4 sec
- Claimed top speed
- >345 km/h
- Production
- 1,963 cars
More than a power increase
Lamborghini says the Revuelto SV combines its 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 with three electric motors for 1,065 CV and 1,425 Nm of system torque. Those are manufacturer claims, but they show the scale of the engineering problem: delivering repeatable performance while managing battery temperature, braking, traction and mass.
The V12 itself produces 825 CV and revs to 9,500 rpm. Electric assistance is therefore not replacing the engine’s identity; it adds torque vectoring and fills the parts of the performance envelope where an engine alone cannot respond as quickly.
Why aerodynamics matter more than the headline
Lamborghini claims 80 percent more total downforce than the standard Revuelto and a 60 percent improvement in downforce-to-drag efficiency. A front splitter, revised underbody, cooling channels, rear wing and Gurney flap are intended to increase grip without letting drag grow at the same rate.
That distinction matters. Downforce alone can be purchased with a large wing; aerodynamic efficiency is the harder task because stability, cooling and top-speed performance compete for the same airflow.
A different approach to track hardware
The SV adopts racing-inspired manually adjustable passive dampers rather than presenting software as the answer to every chassis problem. Lamborghini also specifies dedicated Bridgestone tyres and new CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes.
The company reports a 200–0 km/h braking distance of 110 metres and greater heat dissipation than the standard system. These remain controlled manufacturer figures until independent tests reproduce them, but the emphasis on temperature and repeatability is more useful than a single acceleration run.
Exclusivity with a purpose—and a marketing layer
Production is limited to 1,963 cars, referencing Lamborghini’s founding year. That makes the SV scarce by normal-car standards but relatively numerous beside one-off coachbuilt specials.
Its real legacy will depend on whether owners drive it hard enough to reveal the chassis work. For now, the credible conclusion is narrower: Lamborghini has used hybrid hardware, aerodynamics, brakes and calibration as one integrated system, not simply added power and an SV badge.
