A decade has passed since Lamborghini last screwed a Super Veloce badge onto one of its wedge-shaped flagships. Now it’s back, on the 2027 Revuelto SV — and it arrives wearing the title of most powerful production Lamborghini ever built.
Here’s the twist: for a car that carries that crown, the SV barely bothered with more power.
Lamborghini quotes a combined 1,050 hp (783 kW) and 1,051 lb-ft (1,425 Nm) of torque from the same 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 and trio of electric motors that already animate the standard Revuelto. That’s an increase of roughly 49 hp and seven lb-ft over the regular car — a rounding error at this altitude. The gain comes almost entirely from a beefed-up battery, which grows from 3.8 kWh to 7 kWh. So if you were expecting the SV to bury the Revuelto on a straight, look elsewhere. This car was built for corners.
The Super Veloce name comes with baggage — and a job to do
The SV lineage is a serious one, stretching back through the Aventador SVJ, Murciélago SV, Diablo SV, and all the way to the Miura SV. Every one of them took an already-outrageous Lamborghini and sharpened it into something that borders on a race car. The Revuelto SV follows the script exactly, keeping its eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox and all-wheel drive but reworking almost everything that touches the road or the air.
The performance figures still read like a fever dream. Lamborghini claims 0–100 km/h in 2.4 seconds, 0–200 km/h in 6.7 seconds, and a top speed beyond 344 km/h (214 mph) — enough, the company says, to make this the fastest car ever to leave Sant’Agata Bolognese. The dual-clutch transmission has also been reprogrammed to shift 30% faster than before.
Downforce is the headline number that matters
Where the SV genuinely separates itself is in the airflow. Lamborghini says the reworked bodywork generates 80% more downforce than a standard Revuelto, and a claimed 10% more than the last hardcore V12 Lambo, the Aventador SVJ. A fin cutting across the front bumper forms an arrow shape with the headlight housing and feeds cool air to the brakes, improving brake cooling by 12%, while a more pronounced front splitter does its work down low.
At the back sits a fixed rear wing with a double-plane design at the edges for downforce and a single-plane center section to preserve efficiency. A Gurney flap adds grip and channels air to the radiator to cool the screaming V12. All told, Lamborghini claims a 60% improvement in downforce-to-drag efficiency.
Brakes and dampers straight from the GT3 program
The chassis leans hard on Lamborghini’s racing operation. Manually adjustable dampers derived from its GT3 cars bring a claimed 10% more lateral grip, with presets for bumpy, wet, or flat conditions, and the company says the SV corners some 17% more agilely than the standard car. New centerlock wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza Race R tires complete the setup.
Stopping power comes from Brembo’s CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic discs — 419 mm (16.5 inches) up front, with rear discs quoted between 409 and 417 mm (16.1 to 16.4 inches) across Lamborghini’s own figures. Their floating design and racing-derived ventilation mean no warm-up is needed, with claims of 11% more peak deceleration, 23% more heat dissipation, and 12% lower disc temperatures. A new Integrated Brake Control system reads the car’s inertia to fine-tune braking in real time.
Inside, the motorsport theme continues with exposed carbon-fiber door panels, optional carbon-fiber bucket seats, and SV graphics splashed across the digital displays. A new drive mode called Pilota joins the familiar Corsa track setting, unlocking a five-stage traction-control system lifted from GT3 racing. Buyers get the usual deep customization menu, including 12 contrasting leather options and 12 caliper colors, plus optional matte bronze tailpipes for the performance exhaust.
What Lamborghini hasn’t said is what any of this costs, or when the SV reaches customers — though a price of at least $700,000 (US) and a rollout sometime next year are the current expectations. For a car that added only 49 hp yet promises to rewrite its maker’s lap times, the invoice may be the most shocking number of all.
