V-12 Lamborghinis are an intimidating presence. They’re brazen statements of wealth and power, nowadays often seen spitting flames on social media. Yet for all the symbolism and viral clicks, the current Revuelto is by far the most sophisticated and approachable machine of its kind. It’s even a plug-in hybrid.

The new Revuelto SV is just the opposite.
📌 The Core Development
This latest SV-badged wedge seems cautious at first, prioritizing handling fidelity over raw firepower, though it’s hardly short on the latter. It retains the standard Revuelto’s 814-hp 6.5-liter V-12 and trio of electric motors (one nestled in the eight-speed dual-clutch rear transaxle plus one at each front wheel, giving it all-wheel drive). And despite weight-reducing measures throughout its chassis and body, those savings are mostly negated by a larger 7-kWh battery, up from 4 kWh. We estimate it compresses scales at close to 4300 pounds, or roughly the same as the last Revuelto we tested .
🔍 Background & Sector Context
However, that new battery can now contribute up to 254 electric ponies, versus the smaller pack’s 187-hp max, and with more consistency under heavy use. The extra boost is most noticeable when the car’s front end seemingly yanks it out of tight corners. Altogether, system output is up a modest 49 horses and 7 pound-feet of torque, for respective totals of 1050 and
