Image: Crystal Lau | CNBCThe standard Revuelto already produces 1,001 hp. Lamborghini engineers apparently found that number insufficiently violent. The result is the Revuelto SV — revealed at Monterey Car Week in August 2026 — pushing the same 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, now paired with three electric motors, to a combined 1,050–1,065 hp and roughly 1,425 Nm of torque. That's a 49-hp gain over its already unhinged predecessor, wrapped in sharper aero, a retuned chassis, and a production cap of exactly 1,963 units — a deliberate tribute to the year Automobili Lamborghini was founded. Enthusiasts tracking cars coming in the next wave of high-anticipation reveals will find the SV among the most compelling of the era.What changed under the skin:Battery capacity nearly doubled: from 3.8 kWh in the standard Revuelto to approximately 7 kWh here, boosting electric motor contribution to total output49 additional horsepower and torque climbing to ~1,425 Nm, with reported figures varying slightly across sourcesNew Pilota Mode enables track-focused, fully customizable driving setupsCarbon-ceramic brake discs and retuned suspension built for high-speed stability1,963-unit hard cap, pre-allocated to Lamborghini's most loyal clientsThe Battery Isn't There to Save FuelThat 7 kWh pack exists for one reason — filling the performance gaps a naturally aspirated engine physically can't.AdvertisementAdvertisementNaturally aspirated engines of the V12 variety are magnificent. They're also incapable of delivering instant torque at low revs the way electric motors can. The nearly doubled battery feeds the two front-mounted and one rear-mounted electric motors precisely at those moments — eliminating the fractional hesitation between throttle input and acceleration that even the best naturally aspirated engines carry at low revs.The result:0–100 kph in 2.4 seconds0–200 kph in 6.7 secondsTop speed past 214 mphA camouflaged pre-production SV already proved the point, posting a 1:41.6 lap at Hockenheimring — claimed by Lamborghini as the fastest lap by a production super sports car at that circuit, a distinction it draws explicitly from more extreme, lower-volume hypercars.AdvertisementAdvertisementAccording to Alessandro Farmeschi, Lamborghini's product director, buyers choose the brand for design plus applied technology plus the V12 soundtrack — and the SV is built to intensify all three with hybrid assistance rather than replace any of them.A $741,000 Limited Drop With a Tighter Waitlist Than a GPUExclusivity is baked into the production number — and so is the collector math.At $741,172 base (per CNBC), with options like the monocoque carbon-fiber race seats pushing that figure higher, the Revuelto SV operates less like a car purchase and more like a relationship-gated asset acquisition. Think of it as a limited GPU drop, except Nvidia can't cut you from the list for buying a competitor's card last year. Lamborghini's SV models historically command strong secondary market premiums — a reality well illustrated by the broader world of cheap exotic cars that lure buyers in before the true costs emerge — and with deliveries expected in 2027, most people engaging with this car will do so through a screen. For 1,963 buyers, though, that 1:41.6 lap time — and the V12 soundtrack behind it — will be entirely, viscerally real.From the coolest cars to the must-have gadgets, GadgetReview's daily newsletter keeps you in the know.
