Lamborghini Revuelto SV may already have Ferrari’s SF90 XX in its sights

Lamborghini’s next SV model hasn’t made its public debut yet, but the conversation around it is already moving quickly.

After a private client preview in New York, the upcoming Revuelto SV is being talked about as a more focused evolution of Sant’Agata’s hybrid V12 flagship, with early lap-time chatter placing it ahead of Ferrari’s SF90 XX Stradale at Hockenheim.

That’s a serious claim, not because the power jump appears dramatic, but because it suggests Lamborghini is leaning into the parts of a car that matter most when the stopwatch is running.

At a glance

A harder Revuelto with more than horsepower in mind

The standard Lamborghini Revuelto already sits in rare air, combining a naturally aspirated V12 with hybrid assistance for 1,015 hp.

The SV version is expected to push that figure higher, though not by the kind of headline-grabbing margin that would define the car on its own.

Instead, the more interesting story is what Lamborghini may be doing around the powertrain.

The SV badge has traditionally been reserved for lighter, sharper and more aggressive versions of Lamborghini’s flagship models, and the Revuelto SV appears to be following that familiar pattern.

Sharper aerodynamics, reduced mass and recalibrated chassis behaviour are expected to be central to the package.

On a hybrid supercar, those changes matter because the total system output is only one part of the performance equation.

Why the Hockenheim number matters

The figure drawing attention is a claimed 1:41.6 lap around Hockenheimring.

That would be roughly two seconds quicker than the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale, a gap that’s difficult to dismiss in this part of the market.

Hockenheim rewards braking stability, traction, aero balance and how cleanly a car can deploy power out of slower corners.

If the Revuelto SV is genuinely that quick there, it would suggest Lamborghini has found meaningful gains in how the car uses its hybrid V12 hardware rather than simply increasing output.

Still, lap times around Hockenheim aren’t governed by the same kind of universally accepted independent verification system some enthusiasts would like to see.

Until Lamborghini presents the car publicly with final specifications and a clear customer configuration, the number should be treated as an early marker rather than a settled benchmark.

The Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale comparison

The Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale is one of Maranello’s most extreme road-legal machines, which makes it a natural target for any new Lamborghini wearing an SV badge.

Both cars use electrification to stretch the performance envelope, though they approach the job with different personalities.

Ferrari’s XX treatment brings a track-developed mindset to the SF90 platform, while Lamborghini’s SV identity is typically more visceral, more theatrical and more physical in the way it communicates speed.

That’s what makes the potential matchup so compelling.

This isn’t just a question of which car produces the bigger number on a dyno sheet.

It’s about how two very different brands interpret the modern hybrid supercar at the outer edge of road-car performance.

Details & Specifications

For now, the Revuelto SV looks like it could be less about a simple power escalation and more about Lamborghini refining the hybrid flagship into something leaner, sharper and more circuit-capable.

If the early performance talk carries through to the production car, Ferrari’s most focused SF90 may have a very real rival coming from Sant’Agata.
