The good folks at Italy’s Automobili Lamborghini have revealed the most powerful and fastest Lamborghini yet, the Revuelto SV.

It is a Super Veloce version of the automaker’s flagship Revuelto supercar.

Just like the standard version, the Revuelto SV is powered by a V12 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but with more power.

More power

The Revuelto SV is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre mid-mounted engine behind the driver paired with two axial flux electric motors motivating the front wheels and a radial flux electric motor placed above the car’s eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, which sits behind the V12 engine.

A 7.3-kWh lithium-ion battery supplies power to the e-motors.

Total system output is 1,050 hp (1,065 CV), up from the standard Revuelto’s output of 1,001 hp (1,015 CV). The car also produces 1,051 lb.-ft. (1,425 Nm) of torque.

Performance figures

Lamborghini provided some performance figures for the Revuelto SV.

Performance numbers include:

  • Zero to 100 km/h – 2.4 seconds
  • Zero to 200 km/h – 6.7 seconds
  • Top speed – more than 345 km/h

The standard Revuelto hits zero to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds.

More downforce

The car gets more than a boost in power.

Lamborghini sharpened the Revuelto’s design to give the SV enhanced aerodynamics with increased downforce.

The car also rides on a newly developed suspension with racing-inspired adjustable passive dampers and uses next-generation CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes rides on bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Race R tires.

Lamborghini said the SV delivers 80 per cent more total downforce than the Revuelto and 10 per cent more than the Aventador SVJ did. The downforce-to-drag efficiency has also been increased by 60 per cent compared to the regular Revuelto.

Lamborghini said these updates give the Revuelto SV even greater precision than the Revuelto for the ultimate performance-focused car.

The car also has a new Pilota driving mode, which offers a highly customized driving setup built around a bespoke five-stage traction control system. The setup was derived from Lamborghini’s GT3 racing experience.

55 years of SV models

The Revuelto SV builds on 55 years of Super Veloce models from the Sant’Agata Bolognese automaker.

The first one was the Miura SV.

The designation is used on variants that offer extreme performance, including more power, lightweight construction, optimized aerodynamics and a precise chassis setup.

Lamborghini is limiting the Revuelto SV’s production to 1,963 cars, the number being a tribute to the year Automobili Lamborghini was founded.

Full model details are available on the automaker’s website.
