The regular Revuelto is definitely not lacking in presence or performance, but the Super Veloce version pushes both boundaries even further. Most of the technical details of the freshly unveiled Lamborghini Revuelto Super Veloce are unsurprising, closely following the playbook for producing an ultra-high-performance supercar. But one stands out as novel. Befitting its position at the top of the hierarchy, the Revuelto SV is more powerful—but the upgrade doesn’t come from changes to the naturally aspirated V-12 engine, but rather exclusively from revisions to the electrical side of the plug-in hybrid powertrain.
With a larger 7.3-kWh battery pack able to deliver more current than the Revuelto’s trio of electric motors—two powering the front axle, one integrated with the V-12—the SV can now produce up to 255 horsepower electrically. That gives it a peak output of 1050 horsepower, a 49-horsepower increase over the standard car. The quoted output for the V-12 engine—814 horsepower at a dizzying 9250 rpm—remains unchanged. One benefit of the larger battery pack, although unconfirmed for now, is that EV-only range has presumably also increased. Although nobody is buying a Revuelto for its EV range.

Lamborghini is quoting a 2.4-second 0–62-mph time and a 6.7-second 0–124-mph run, representing improvements of 0.1 second and 0.3 second over the corresponding numbers for the regular car. But, for additional perspective, our colleagues at Car and Driver have already recorded a 2.2-second 60-mph run in the standard Revuelto.
Interestingly, Lamborghini’s power claims and acceleration figures for the SV are identical to those of the much more limited “few off” Fenomeno that was launched last year, and which also uses the Revuelto as its base. Visually, the SV is distinguished by more aggressive aerodynamics—most obviously the arrival of a fixed wing in place of the regular car’s pop-up rear flap—but also with a redesigned front bumper and side air inlets. There’s more carbon fiber on show, with up to 25 exterior parts now available to option in visible carbon. Buyers will also be able to choose a unique “Super Veloce” livery with contrast colors.
