Lamborghini Turns the Revuelto Into a 1,050-HP Track Specialist

Lamborghini has unveiled the 2027 Revuelto SV, a harder, track-focused version of its plug-in hybrid V-12 flagship. The car keeps the standard Revuelto's 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V-12 and three electric motors, but a revised battery system lifts combined output to 1,050 hp and 1,051 lb-ft of torque — roughly 50 hp more than the current Revuelto.

The upgrades extend beyond horsepower. Lamborghini fitted the SV with GT3-derived adjustable dampers, an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that shifts 30 percent faster, and CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brake discs measuring 16.5 inches at the front and 16.4 inches at the rear. The company says the car can reach 62 mph in 2.4 seconds and a top speed above 214 mph.

The SV is designed to work hard on a circuit. The dampers include presets for bumpy, wet or flat track conditions, and Lamborghini claims a 17 percent improvement in agility and 10 percent more lateral grip compared with the standard Revuelto. A new Integrated Brake Control system reads the car's inertia to refine braking precision in real time, part of a package that Lamborghini says delivers 11 percent more peak deceleration and 23 percent better heat dissipation.

Visually and strategically, the SV badge links the car to earlier Lamborghini flagships such as the Miura SV, Diablo SV, Murcielago SV and Aventador SV. Buyers can option matte-bronze tailpipes and choose from 12 brake caliper colors, but the main proposition is performance on a closed circuit rather than daily road use.

The SV Badge and the Race-Derived Hardware Behind the Revuelto SV

Why Lamborghini keeps coming back to the SV badge

The SV name gives Lamborghini a way to create a new top rung without replacing the standard Revuelto. The result is a halo product that extends the current car's life cycle, keeps top-end buyers engaged and reinforces the link to historical SV models such as the Miura SV and Aventador SV. That strategy matters more for pricing and brand positioning than for volume, since Lamborghini is not treating this as a mainstream model.

The hardware story is about repeatable track performance

The most significant changes are not the headline horsepower figure. The GT3-derived adjustable dampers, the 30 percent quicker dual-clutch shifts and the CCM-R Plus brakes are all aimed at the specific demands of circuit driving: consistent handling across different track conditions, faster gear changes under load and brakes that resist fade during repeated high-speed stops. Lamborghini's claimed 17 percent increase in agility and 23 percent gain in brake heat dissipation only make sense in that context.

Who the Revuelto SV is actually for

The target customer is someone who already expects a standard Revuelto to be extreme and wants an even more focused tool for track days or closed circuits. For road use, the additional capability is likely to be difficult to exploit, but for a buyer who regularly laps a circuit, the SV's race-derived hardware and adjustable track presets represent a concrete upgrade. Motortrend's framing of the reveal — joking that owners should have their keys taken if they do not hot-lap the car — signals how narrowly the car is aimed.

What the Revuelto SV Means for Track-Focused Buyers

The Revuelto SV is aimed squarely at owners who will use it on a circuit. Three details from the reveal are worth acting on.

  • For existing Revuelto owners, the decision hinges on track use: the 17 percent agility gain, 10 percent lateral grip increase and 23 percent brake heat dissipation improvement are circuit-focused benefits, while the 50-hp rise is modest for road driving.
  • For buyers configuring the car, choose the dampers' bumpy, wet or flat track presets based on the circuits they actually plan to drive, and confirm factory options such as matte-bronze tailpipes and one of 12 caliper colors before locking the order.
  • For collectors, the SV badge's position in the Miura SV, Diablo SV, Murcielago SV and Aventador SV lineage makes the car's value case about Lamborghini's top-rung heritage as much as the added hardware.
