Everything we know about the Revuelto SV, the hardcore Lamborghini nobody has confirmed
Super Veloce is back, even if Lamborghini will not say so yet
Lamborghini has not confirmed the Revuelto SV exists, but the evidence is piling up faster than the denials. It has been spied testing at the Nurburgring and on public roads, it has been heard on video, and it was reportedly shown to VIP clients behind closed doors in June. The SV badge, Super Veloce, is the most loaded three letters in the Lamborghini catalogue, and here is what is actually known so far.
What SV means
Super Veloce is reserved for the most extreme version of a Lamborghini V12 flagship. Historically it has meant the sharpest, lightest and most track-focused car in the range, from the Miura SV to the Aventador SV. Attaching those letters to the Revuelto sets a very high bar, because the standard car is already a 1,001 hp hybrid flagship, and the SV has to justify going further.
What has been seen and heard
The prototypes point to a high-downforce package rather than a restyle: a large fixed rear wing, an enlarged front splitter, a new bumper with triangular air intakes, vents above the taillights and revised hexagonal exhaust tips. A video shows a heavily disguised car with alignment sensors on the wheels, which are there only for testing. The one slightly disappointing note is the sound, a muffled V12 that some have mistaken for a V8, almost certainly a consequence of stricter EU noise rules, and exactly the sort of thing the aftermarket will fix in minutes.
The power question, handled carefully
The standard Revuelto makes 1,001 hp from its naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 and hybrid system, and hits 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds. Rumour puts the SV in the region of 1,184 hp, which would be a substantial jump, and it is worth a note of caution: the old Aventador SV gained only around 50 hp over the standard car, so a 180 hp increase would be unusual. Treat the figure as speculation until Lamborghini confirms it. What is more certain is the goal: at least two tenths quicker to 100 km/h, and a decisive step deeper into hypercar territory.
Lighter, not just faster
SV has always been about subtraction as much as addition. The Revuelto SV is expected to shed weight through deleted carpet and sound deadening, lightweight sport seats and more exposed carbon fibre, with the cabin's non-essentials trimmed back. The prototypes still show the Revuelto's screens, but a car built around lap times tends to lose comfort features by launch.
When we will see it
A private VIP reveal reportedly took place on 13 June, and a full public unveiling is understood to be coming in August 2026, which would put it only days or weeks away. Lamborghini has disclosed no pricing or production numbers, but an SV is always costly and always rare, so expect a limited run at a serious premium over the standard Revuelto.
AutoNext Take
The SV name carries real weight, and that cuts both ways. Get it right and the Revuelto SV becomes an instant collector piece and the sharpest expression of Lamborghini's V12 hybrid era. Get it wrong, with too much mass from the hybrid system and a muted exhaust neutering the drama, and it risks being an SV in name more than in spirit. The rumoured power figure matters far less than whether the car feels lighter and more alive than the standard Revuelto, because that, not a bigger number, is what Super Veloce has always promised. On current evidence it is nearly here, so we will not be guessing for long.
