SANT’AGATA BOLOGNESE, Italy — Lamborghini unveiled the Revuelto SV on Friday at Monterey Car Week’s The Quail, a limited-run hybrid variant priced from $741,172 and capped at 1,963 units.
The launch matters beyond car-collector circles. It signals how Lamborghini, like other legacy supercar makers, is using electrification not to soften performance but to sharpen it — a bet that could shape how rivals such as Ferrari and McLaren price and market their own hybrid flagships in the coming year.
The SV pairs Lamborghini’s 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 with three electric motors, pushing combined output to 1,050 horsepower and 1,051 lb-ft of torque, according to figures the automaker released Friday. That’s a jump of 50 horsepower and 18 lb-ft over the standard Revuelto. Zero to 60 mph now takes 2.4 seconds, and Lamborghini says top speed exceeds 214 mph, though it declined to give an exact figure.
Alessandro Farmeschi, the Revuelto product line director, told CNBC the added electric punch was designed to heighten “the adrenaline and the emotions” of driving the car, not simply pad a spec sheet. Buyers, he said, weren’t chasing numbers alone.
“When our clients choose a Lamborghini, they choose us because of the design, together with the technology applied,” Farmeschi said.
Engineers didn’t stop at the powertrain. The SV rides on racing-inspired adjustable passive dampers and next-generation carbon-ceramic brakes, wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza Race R tires developed specifically for the model.
Lamborghini says the changes cut brake disc temperatures by 12% and improve heat dissipation by 23%, while lateral grip climbs 10% from the suspension alone and overall grip rises 13%.
A reworked front bumper, larger rear wing, new diffuser and revised side skirts complete an aerodynamic package the brand had been testing on camouflaged prototypes at the Nürburgring and Imola for months.
The car has already posted a 1-minute, 41.6-second lap at Germany’s Hockenheimring — the fastest production-car time Lamborghini says has been recorded there. A new GT3-inspired driving mode, tuned for track use, is standard.
Production is fixed at 1,963 vehicles, a nod to the year Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the company. The number continues a naming and scarcity tradition dating to the Miura SV, which launched the “Super Veloce” badge 55 years ago as a lighter, faster variant of Lamborghini’s flagship model.
Lamborghini has not disclosed a delivery timeline or confirmed whether every unit has been claimed, though limited-run models at this price point have historically sold out through the brand’s existing client list before public order books open. Industry analysts expect first deliveries to begin in 2027, aligning with the broader rollout of Lamborghini’s hybrid lineup.
