The 2027 Lamborghini Revuelto SV has been revealed as the fastest and most powerful series-production model in the Italian brand’s history, following the introduction of the standard Revuelto earlier this year.
Quantum of Driving
Pricing for the new track-focused model has not been announced, though it is expected to exceed the Australian price of the standard Revuelto, which sits at $987,908 before on-road costs. The car is available in Australia, and Lamborghini plans to build only 1,963 examples globally, a production run that will make it the most prolific “Super Veloce” model in history. This figure exceeds the 1,100 Aventador SV coupes and roadsters produced between 2015 and 2017.
“Revuelto SV is designed for customers seeking the purest expression of Lamborghini performance and driving emotion,” Lamborghini sales and marketing chief Federico Foschini told CarExpert. “The concept behind the car is what we define as ‘The Quantum of Driving’: a point where performance is no longer simply increased, but transformed into a completely different driving experience.”

Every element, from the enhanced aerodynamics and dedicated suspension to the new Pilota mode, next-generation brakes and bespoke Bridgestone tyres, has been developed to create a more direct and instinctive connection between driver and machine. The Revuelto already established a new benchmark. The SV is aimed at customers who want to experience the most focused, immersive and emotionally engaging interpretation of that platform, whether on road or on track.
Precision and Power
The SV increases the total power output of the regular Revuelto’s 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12-based high-performance hybrid (HPEV) system by 36kW, to 783kW, with the same 1425Nm of torque. The extra power comes from the trio of liquid-cooled axial-flux electric motors, which now make 220kW (up from 140kW), while the petrol V12 sends the same 607kW through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The powertrain upgrades are claimed to shave 0.1 seconds off the official 0-100km/h time, which now stands at 2.4 seconds, and Lamborghini says the SV will reach 200km/h in just 6.7 seconds on its way to an unchanged top speed “exceeding 345km/h”.
This level of performance is claimed to be repeatable, thanks to a new 7.3kWh lithium-ion battery pack in place of the standard 3.8Wh version. The cells have been upgraded from pouch to cylindrical format for the 2027 model year, enabling “four times greater performance consistency compared to the Revuelto, delivering sustained output and repeatability even under extreme track conditions.”

While the raw numbers paint a picture of pure speed, the engineering changes reveal a different intent. The shift from pouch to cylindrical cells is a significant step for the battery architecture, moving toward a more mature technology stack often seen in high-performance EVs. This suggests Lamborghini is prioritizing thermal management and long-term reliability over experimental form factors, a pragmatic approach that likely contributes to the claimed consistency under racing conditions.
Braking and Aerodynamics
Contributing to the car’s high-speed capability are a set of aerodynamic changes to shift the balance of the Revuelto forwards to better suit track work. Lamborghini claims an 80 per cent increase in downforce compared to the standard Revuelto, including a new front splitter and angled front bumper fins that deliver 12 per cent better brake cooling.
The new brake rotors measure 420mm at the front and 410mm at the rear, increases of 10mm and 20mm respectively, and are said to enable the SV to stop dead from 200km/h in only 110m (11 metres less). This stopping power is supported by a reduction in weight, with the SV carrying 23kg less than the latest 2027 Revuelto’s 1795kg.

Combined with the Integrated Brake Controller (IBC) seen on the Fençano and Urus SE Performante, Lamborghini claims 11 per cent more peak deceleration and 23 per cent better heat dissipation, in part due to new air ducts feeding the rear brakes. The rear-end of the SV also gains a unique double rear-wing design for more downforce, with a low centre section to minimise drag alongside a Gurney flap.
Other exterior changes include exposed carbon-fibre and black accents, exclusive lightweight centre-lock wheels measuring 20 inches up front and 21 inches at the rear, and several specially developed Bridgestone tyre choices including the Potenza Race R semi-slick. The track focus extends to the suspension, with four-way manually adjustable dampers developed from Lamborghini’s GT3 race program combining with the new aero and Bridgestone tyres to deliver 10 per cent more lateral grip and 17 per cent better agility.
Bringing all the upgrades together is the debut of the new ‘Pilota’ driving mode, which controls the SV’s five-stage traction control system, adapts to differing track conditions, and is tuned for “aggressive driving” including mounting kerbs around corners on track. “Thanks to new aerodynamics, a cutting-edge vehicle trends controller, and motorsport-derived technologies for suspension, brakes, and tyres, as well as increased power, the Revuelto SV delivers even greater precision and sportiness than the Revuelto,” said Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann in a statement. “This makes the Revuelto SV the ultimate super sports car for performance-focused drivers.”
