In a few days, Lamborghini will unveil its new V12 supercar, which is reportedly already faster than a Ferrari on this track

After months of rumors, private presentations, and prototypes spotted on Italian roads and at the Nürburgring, the moment is finally approaching. In a few days, Lamborghini is expected to officially unveil the highly anticipated Revuelto SV, a radical evolution of its hybrid supercar that promises to become the highest-performance production Lamborghini V12 ever built.

The event is now scheduled to take place in California during Monterey Car Week. The car is expected to make its public debut at *The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering*, which will be held on Friday, August 14, 2026, at the Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel.

A Much More Aggressive Revuelto

Lamborghini has still not officially revealed the specifications of this new version, but the prototypes spotted in recent weeks now give us a clearer picture of the changes.

One pre-production prototype recently spotted near the Sant’Agata Bolognese plant was notably much less camouflaged. Despite the protective coverings still in place, it was impossible to miss the imposing fixed rear wing. The front end has also been extensively redesigned, featuring a more aggressive bumper and new aerodynamic solutions.

Lightweight center-lock wheels have also been spotted. The Revuelto SV is also expected to feature a partially black hood and roof, while its interior could incorporate the custom seats developed for the ultra-exclusive Fenomeno. But the changes aren’t just cosmetic. Lamborghini is said to have worked on the chassis, suspension, and weight to make its supercar even more effective on the track.

The V12 is already roaring at the Nürburgring

It is precisely on the Nordschleife that Lamborghini is currently continuing development of its future SV. A prototype was recently filmed there traveling at high speed, equipped with numerous sensors on the wheels that allow engineers to collect data.

Above all, these test drives gave us a sense of what Lamborghini intends to preserve despite the shift to electrification: the character of its naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12. High-rev acceleration, downshifts, and full-throttle runs still resonate just as loudly on the German racetrack.

The exact power output, however, remains a mystery. Some rumors have suggested as much as 1,200 ch, but information shared during private presentations points to around 1,065 to 1,080 ch, compared to 1,015 ch for the current Revuelto. This evolution is ultimately quite in line with the historic philosophy of the SV models, in which Lamborghini prioritizes aerodynamics, weight, and the chassis just as much as raw power.

Already faster than a Ferrari SF90 XX?

And that could make a huge difference. According to information that had leaked after a private presentation held in New York in June, Lamborghini reportedly told its customers that the car clocked a time of 1 min 41.6 s at Hockenheim. If this figure is confirmed, the Revuelto SV would be about two seconds faster than a Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale on this track and nearly six seconds ahead of the previous-generation Aventador SVJ. This gives an idea of the leap forward Sant’Agata is aiming for.

A total of 1,963 copies are ultimately planned

Another detail that is becoming clearer: production is reportedly limited to 1,963 units worldwide, a number that directly references the year Lamborghini was founded. This is significantly more than initial estimates, which suggested a few hundred cars. In North America, estimates have also reportedly risen from around 350 to nearly 700 units.

It won’t be long now before we get to see the car without camouflage. Three years after revolutionizing its V12 lineup with the Revuelto and its plug-in hybrid system, Lamborghini is set to take that formula much further. Mark your calendars for August 14 at The Quail to discover what could very well become the new benchmark for Lamborghini V12s.
