EUIPO filings show a deep front splitter, reworked side skirts, and exposed underbody tunnels not visible in Lamborghini's own teasers.
Sant'Agata didn't show us this. The European Union Intellectual Property Office did. Patent sketches filed under the Lamborghini name and published in August 2025 lay out the Revuelto SV's aero package in full. No camouflage. No selective lighting. Just lines.
The drawings matter because they confirm what teasers obscured: a fixed rear wing, a pronounced front splitter, and a diffuser exposing underbody tunnels absent from the standard Revuelto. The standard car already produces 1,001 hp from a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 paired with three electric motors — a figure unmatched -production Lamborghini before it, according to Lamborghini S.p.A.'s official press release, published January 2023. The SV variant targets something harder to quantify: track credibility.
What the EUIPO Filing Actually Shows
The patent sketches, registered with the European Union Intellectual Property Office and cross-referenced against Lamborghini's own teaser sequence released in late July 2025, cover five discrete aero zones. Up front: a deeper bumper with pronounced blade-type canards and a splitter that sits visibly lower than the standard Revuelto's unit. Along the flanks: wider side skirts with revised air inlets, routed toward the mid-mounted V12 and hybrid cooling stack. At the rear: a towering fixed wing mounted on substantial vertical end-plates, a large diffuser framing centre-exit exhaust outlets, and exposed underbody channelling consistent with venturi-style tunnel work. The body shell between the A-pillar and C-pillar appears unchanged. The wheels — shown as centrelock items with a multi-spoke face — differ from the road-biased options on the standard car. Importantly, the EUIPO submission carries no horsepower figure, no weight data, and no production ceiling. Those numbers remain absent from the official record as of the filing date. This cluster of European performance car development decisions points to a pattern of regulatory filings outrunning manufacturer communications.
The Arithmetic Behind the SV Rumours
The standard Revuelto's combined output: 1,001 hp, drawn from a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 rated at 814 hp and three electric motors contributing a combined 187 hp. That motor count — one on the front axle, two integrated into the eight-speed dual-clutch — is unchanged in patent imagery. Rumoured SV output sits at 1,065 hp. The implied gain: 64 hp, or roughly 6.4 percent over the base car. Whether that comes from V12 recalibration, electric motor uprating, or revised hybrid mapping is unconfirmed. Production talk centres on 1,963 units — a number that reads as a reference to the year Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the company. If priced proportionally to the Aventador SVJ premium over the standard Aventador S (approximately 23 percent at launch, according to Lamborghini's published European retail price lists, 2018), a Revuelto SV would land above €700,000 in key European markets: 570,000 × 1.23 = €701,100. Lamborghini has not confirmed pricing.
SV Versus SVJ: A Playbook With Precedent
The Aventador SVJ — the direct spiritual predecessor — added 29 hp over the standard Aventador S (770 hp versus 741 hp), cut 50 kg through carbon-fibre bodywork, and introduced the ALA 2.0 active aerodynamics system with electrohydraulic flaps in the front splitter and rear wing. It lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6 minutes 44.97 seconds in October 2018, at the time the fastest production car record on that circuit. The Revuelto SV enters a different environment. Its three-motor PHEV architecture means any weight saving fights against battery mass — the standard car's 3.8-kWh lithium-ion pack and associated power electronics add load the SVJ never carried. Whether fixed-wing downforce and diffuser work compensate at track speeds is the engineering question the patent sketches raise but cannot answer. BMW's forthcoming four-motor M3, confirmed at 1,300 hp for 2027, frames how aggressively electrified performance is being pursued across the segment, with or without weight penalties resolved.
The Wheel Geometry Question the Patent Left Open
One detail in the patent release resists easy explanation. The centrelock wheel design shown in the EUIPO sketches appears on both front and rear axles with an identical spoke pattern — unusual for a car where the rear tyres are substantially wider than the fronts. The standard Revuelto runs 265/30 ZR20 fronts against 335/30 ZR21 rears, a 70mm diameter difference at the rim. Identical wheel face designs across both axles are typically a drafting convention in design filings rather than a production intent, but the detail has fed speculation that the SV adopts a narrower rear track than rumoured. Lamborghini has not clarified whether the wheel geometry shown reflects final production intent or a schematic simplification. The distinction matters: rear track width directly influences the diffuser's working width and, by extension, how much downforce the underbody tunnelling shown in the same sketches can generate at speed. That gap in the filing — geometry confirmed, context withheld — is where the engineering story currently stops.
Monterey Debut and the Miura Homage Complication
Lamborghini confirmed the Revuelto SV will debut at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering during Monterey Car Week — an event that historically draws allocation-list customers rather than general press. Sharing the stage is the Revuelto Miura 60° Homage, a separate special edition limited to 99 units acknowledging the 60th anniversary of the Miura's design lineage. The dual reveal creates a specific commercial tension. The Miura Homage, at 99 units, targets collectors who place emotional weight on provenance. The SV, if capped at 1,963 units as reported, targets a larger but still restricted group who will prioritise track function. Dealers at Sant'Agata's European network — particularly in Germany and Switzerland, which collectively account for a disproportionate share of Aventador SVJ allocations historically — will manage two separate waiting lists simultaneously. McLaren's concurrent product expansion announced in summer 2025 places additional pressure on the same allocation window, as both brands fish from an overlapping customer pool in those markets.
The Revuelto SV's Monterey debut follows a 27-month development window since the standard Revuelto's public launch at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2023 — shorter than the gap between the Aventador S launch and the SVJ reveal, which ran to 30 months. Lamborghini has built fewer than 500 Revueltos per quarter since production began, according to Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.'s 2024 annual production summary. That rate, if maintained, constrains how quickly a 1,963-unit SV run could be fulfilled. Watch the spec sheet.
