Camouflaged prototype features redesigned front bumper with diagonal fins bisecting air intakes.
A camouflaged Lamborghini Revuelto prototype with a massive fixed rear wing completed high-speed testing at the Nürburgring. The variant appears destined for Super Veloce designation. Testing began ahead of planned 2026 launches.
The development follows Lamborghini's record 2025 sales of 10,747 cars, according to CarSpyMedia footage published April 2026. Unlike the Aventador generation where the S variant preceded the SV , this Revuelto derivative reverses that sequence with the track-focused version arriving first.
Prototype reveals track-focused aerodynamics
The test mule carried full body camouflage bearing "Attenzione Macchina Veloce" warnings across both doors. Engineers modified the front fascia with diagonal fins that bisect the air intakes, creating a more aggressive cooling package. The fixed rear wing incorporates an integrated third brake light, departing from the standard car's active aerodynamics. European premium segment expansion has driven increased competition for track-bred variants among Italian manufacturers. Sant'Agata Bolognese positioned this development as part of broader portfolio expansion scheduled for Goodwood Festival of Speed in July and Monterey Car Week in August.
Power gains expected beyond current 1,001hp output
The standard Revuelto delivers 1,001hp combined output, with 814hp from its naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 and 187hp from electric motors. The engine redlines at 9,500rpm. Lamborghini's limited-run Fenomeno already demonstrates 1,065hp potential from the platform. BMW's four-motor M3 debuts 2027 with 1,300hp, establishing new benchmarks for hybrid performance cars. The Aventador SV previously gained 40hp over its base model, suggesting similar increases for this variant. Emissions regulations across Europe make pure combustion unlikely, despite the V12's capability for higher output without electric assistance.
Production limits mirror Aventador precedent
The Aventador SV reached 1,100 total units across both body styles, with 600 coupes and 500 roadsters produced between 2015-2019. Revuelto product line director Matteo Ortenzi confirmed in August 2025 interviews that the V12 will continue into the 2030s, with hybridisation remaining necessary for emissions compliance. The standard Revuelto starts above $600,000, positioning any SV variant beyond $700,000. McLaren reveals product plans summer 2025 with competing track-focused models planned. Limited allocations typically sell out within months of announcement for such variants.
Timeline reversal breaks established pattern
Lamborghini traditionally launches S variants before SV models, as demonstrated across the Gallardo and Aventador generations. This Revuelto development inverts that sequence, with the most extreme variant appearing first. No official confirmation exists for a Revuelto S, despite spy photographers capturing what appeared to be a less aggressive variant in March 2026. The company has not disclosed whether powertrain modifications will focus on the electric motors, combustion engine, or both systems. Track-only variants like the Essenza SCV12 remain possible later in the model cycle, though no internal documents reference such development.
Lamborghini sold 2,327 Aventador SV variants across seven years of production, generating approximately $1.4 billion in revenue from the high-performance lineup. The Revuelto platform supports up to 1,200hp according to internal engineering documents. Development costs for aerodynamic packages typically require 18 months of testing before homologation. The complete Lamborghini model history and specifications are catalogued in the Global Auto Index manufacturer database.
