Lamborghini Revuelto SV debuts as supercar’s track-focused version

Lamborghini has unveiled the Revuelto Super Veloce (SV), a more extreme version of the Italian marque’s flagship series-production supercar. Only 1,963 units of the Revuelto SV will be built – a reference to Lamborghini’s founding year – and that too for the brand’s “most loyal customers and collectors.” Pricing has not been disclosed yet, but the SV is expected to command a significant premium over the vanilla Revuelto, which costs Rs 8.89 crore before options. 

Lamborghini Revuelto SV powertrain and performance

Makes 50hp more than the standard Revuelto

The Revuelto SV carries forward the standard model’s 825hp 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 (which revs to a wailing 9,500rpm), 7.3kWh battery pack, and trio of electric motors, but the latter’s output has been uprated from 190hp to 299hp. Combined output for the Revuelto SV’s V12 PHEV powertrain stands at 1,065hp – up 50hp over the standard version. The 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and AWD layout remain unchanged.

0-100kph flashes by in a brisk 2.4 seconds (claimed) for the Revuelto SV, with 0-200kph taking just 6.7 seconds. The top speed, meanwhile, remains in excess of 345kph. A new sports exhaust system is part of the package, and thanks to weight savings, the Revuelto SV boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 602.4hp/tonne, which is up from the standard version’s 571.4hp/tonne. A new ‘Pilota’ drive mode has been introduced too, unlocking a custom motorsport-derived state of tune built around a bespoke five-stage traction control system that adapts to track conditions and tyre wear.

Enhanced suspension damping and braking system

On the dynamics front, Lamborghini has upgraded the Revuelto SV’s suspension with manually adjustable dampers derived from GT3 racing, which promise a 17 percent increase in agility and a 10 percent bump in lateral grip over the Revuelto. The SV also packs a revised braking control system and new CCM-R carbon-ceramic brake discs (420mm up front, 410mm at the rear), claiming an 11 percent higher peak deceleration, 23 percent better heat dissipation, and a 12 percent drop in brake disc temperatures.

Thanks to all of the aforementioned mechanical improvements, the Revuelto SV clocked a lap time of 1:41.6 around Hockenheimring, making it the second-fastest car to be officially timed at the German circuit.

Lamborghini Revuelto SV exterior updates

More menacing body kit

On the outside, the Revuelto SV looks much more aggressive than the standard version, courtesy of a new front diffuser with red accents, a revised rear diffuser, a massive rear wing, exclusive SV liveries and badging, contrast accents, and extensive use of carbon-fibre trim pieces. It also features a fresh set of lightweight centre-lock alloy wheels (20 inches front, 21 inches rear) shod in bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Race R tyres.

Lamborghini Revuelto SV interior updates

Bucket seats and new interior finishes

The Revuelto SV’s interior layout is largely unchanged from that of the standard version, but you do get new racing bucket seats, SV badging, and an expanded roster of upholsteries and colour options.
