The Lamborghini Revuelto SV launched Friday as a limited-edition hybrid version of the automaker’s V12 flagship, and the company is calling it the fastest, most powerful production car it has ever built. Only 1,963 will be made worldwide.
The number carries meaning. It marks the year Lamborghini was founded, a detail the brand has leaned on before with other limited runs. Buyers who secure one join a small club that tends to hold its value well after the sale.
What powers the Revuelto SV?
The Revuelto SV starts with Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated V12 engine and pairs it with three electric motors. Combined, the setup pushes output past 1,050 horsepower, enough to send the car from a standstill to 100 kph, or 62 mph, in 2.4 seconds. That places the Revuelto SV among the quickest production cars sold anywhere.
Alessandro Farmeschi, the Revuelto’s product line director, told CNBC the SV gives buyers a way to push further into what the platform can do. “The Revuelto SV gives our customers the opportunity to go beyond in terms of performance,” he said. He described the goal as building something race-oriented while keeping the experience fun rather than purely clinical.
The V12 remains central to that mission. Farmeschi pointed to engine sound as a defining part of what buyers expect from the brand. “The V12 has been the key since the very beginning, since the foundation of the company,” he said. The hybrid system adds power without pulling focus from that signature note.
Design changes built for the track
Lamborghini announced that beyond the powertrain, the Revuelto SV picks up sharper aerodynamic elements. Lamborghini reworked the fins, wings, and air intakes to direct airflow more precisely and generate added downforce at speed. A retuned suspension and new carbon-ceramic brakes back up the extra power, and a new Pilota driving mode unlocks a setup built specifically for track use.
The cabin follows the same theme. Lamborghini refitted the interior to feel closer to a race car or fighter jet cockpit than a road car. Buyers can choose sport seats built around a carbon shell, or step up to optional monocoque carbon fiber race seats. The latter trade some comfort for a more direct connection to the car, similar to what a driver would find in motorsport.
Pricing and demand for the Revuelto SV
The Revuelto SV starts at $741,172, a jump over the standard Revuelto that reflects both the added hardware and the limited production run. Lamborghini’s past limited editions have often sold out before the public even sees a formal announcement, and SV variants in particular tend to draw stronger demand and higher resale prices in the collector market.
Farmeschi framed the appeal beyond raw numbers. “When you buy a Lamborghini, you buy a Lamborghini because you want it, because you like it, you want to experience driving it, but also because it’s a car that keeps its value over time,” he said. For a car built in such small numbers, that combination of desire and scarcity tends to matter as much as the spec sheet.
