Lamborghini Revuelto SV Revealed: Most Powerful V12 Hybrid Ever
Lamborghini has launched the Revuelto SV, a limited-edition hybrid supercar featuring a naturally aspirated V12 and three electric motors producing over 1,050 horsepower. According to CNBC, the vehicle is the most powerful production car ever built at the factory, starting at $741,172 with production capped at 1,963 units.
The Tech TL;DR:
- Powertrain: V12 hybrid architecture with three electric motors and an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
- Performance: 0-100 kph (62 mph) in 2.4 seconds; tuned for consistent track-load power delivery.
- Hardware: New “Pilota Mode” software, revised carbon-ceramic brakes, and aggressive aero for increased downforce.
To solve this, Lamborghini revised the control software to alter torque delivery and energy deployment strategies, according to inkl.
Hardware Specs and Thermal Management
The SV maintains the mid-mounted V12 paired with three electric motors, but the implementation focuses on “consistency” over peak bursts. Inkl reports that the hybrid system calibration aims to prevent the power drop-off typically seen in PHEVs after several hot laps.
| Metric | Revuelto SV Specification | Technical Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Combined Output | 1,050+ hp | Increased torque vectoring precision |
| Acceleration (0-100 kph) | 2.4 Seconds | Optimized launch control mapping |
| Production Volume | 1,963 Units | High collector scarcity/value retention |
| Base MSRP | $741,172 | Premium for track-specific hardware |
To handle the increased kinetic energy, Lamborghini introduced a new carbon-ceramic brake disc system and revised suspension tuning.
The Pilota Mode: Software-Defined Performance
The most significant software addition is “Pilota Mode.” This isn’t just a preset; it is a highly customized driving setup for the racetrack. Alessandro Farmeschi, Revuelto product line director, told CNBC that the goal was to provide a “race-oriented” experience that maintains the “adrenaline” of the brand.

According to inkl, the revised electronic control systems for stability and traction control are specifically tuned for the SV’s revised aero package, which features sharper angles and bolder fins to increase downforce.
Aerodynamic Logic and Chassis Rigidity
Lamborghini added specific airflow management elements to improve cooling for both the engine and the hybrid electronics. By increasing the cooling efficiency, Lamborghini ensures the 1,050+ hp is a usable figure, not just a marketing peak.
The interior reflects this shift toward a “cockpit” philosophy. Options include monocoque carbon fiber race seats, which prioritize lateral support over comfort.
Market Position and V12 Longevity
The Revuelto SV follows a historical pattern for Lamborghini’s V12 flagships, according to inkl. Farmeschi noted to CNBC that the V12 sound is “crucial” and has been a key element since the company’s foundation.
